58435e6cb7 Add uuidgen(2) and uuidgen(1). 
The uuidgen command, by means of the uuidgen syscall, generates one
or more Universally Unique Identifiers compatible with OSF/DCE 1.1
version 1 UUIDs.

From the Perforce logs (change 11995):

Round of cleanups:
o  Give uuidgen() the correct prototype in syscalls.master
o  Define struct uuid according to DCE 1.1 in sys/uuid.h
o  Use struct uuid instead of uuid_t. The latter is defined
   in sys/uuid.h but should not be used in kernel land.
o  Add snprintf_uuid(), printf_uuid() and sbuf_printf_uuid()
   to kern_uuid.c for use in the kernel (currently geom_gpt.c).
o  Rename the non-standard struct uuid in kern/kern_uuid.c
   to struct uuid_private and give it a slightly better definition
   for better byte-order handling. See below.
o  In sys/gpt.h, fix the broken uuid definitions to match the now
   compliant struct uuid definition. See below.
o  In usr.bin/uuidgen/uuidgen.c catch up with struct uuid change.

A note about byte-order:
        The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.

33776f88dc Change brk's prototype from char *brk(const char *) to int brk(const void *) 
and sbrk's prototype from char *sbrk(int) to void *sbrk(intptr_t).

This makes us more consistant with NetBSD and standards which include
these functions. Bruce pointed out that ptrdiff_t would probably
have been better than intptr_t, but this doesn't match other
implimentations.

Also remove local declarations of sbrk and unnecessary casting.

a179ee09ab This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset 
Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.

Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%.  For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.

I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

ca55abf319 Clean up syscall generation in libc by removing HIDDEN_SYSCALLS 
and treating (almost) all system calls the same way:

	__sys_foo - actual syscall
	foo, _foo - weak definitions to __sys_foo

be __sys_foo (T) and _foo (W).

1635c221b7 Remove _THREAD_SAFE and make libc thread-safe by default by 
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions.  If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.

Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
	__sys_foo - actual system call
	_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
	foo - weak definition to __sys_foo

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo.  In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde).  All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes.  <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h  namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE.  We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.
