The BSD crtbegin/crtend code now builds on all architectures, however
further work is needed to check if it works correctly.

Enabling BSD_CRTBEGIN on amd64 resulted in
error: unused variable '__CTOR_LIST__'.
__CTOR_LIST__ is indeed unused in crtbegin.c; it marks the beginning of
the .ctors array and is used in crtend.c. Annotate __DTOR_LIST__ as
well for consistency.

These are needed for .ctors/.dtors and .jcr handling. The former needs
all the function pointers to be called in the correct order from the
.init/.fini section. The latter just needs to call a gcj specific function
if it exists with a pointer to the start of the .jcr section.
This is currently disabled until __dso_handle support is added.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
LLVM's MIPS assembler parser does not understand the GNU as
'.gnu_attribute' keyword. This could be re-enabled if LLVM is updated
in the future. The desired floating point ABI is already described in
the .MIPS.abiflags section.

New version is not compatible on supervisor mode with v1.9.1
(previous version).
Highlights:
o BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) provides no initial page tables
anymore allowing us to choose VM, to build page tables manually
and enable MMU in S-mode.
o SBI interface changed.
o GENERIC kernel.
FDT is now chosen standard for RISC-V hardware description.
DTB is now provided by Spike (golden model simulator). This
allows us to introduce GENERIC kernel. However, description
for console and timer devices is not provided in DTB, so move
these devices temporary to nexus bus.
o Supervisor can't access userspace by default. Solution is to
set SUM (permit Supervisor User Memory access) bit in sstatus
register.
o Compressed extension is now turned on by default.
o External GCC 7.1 compiler used.
o _gp renamed to __global_pointer$
o Compiler -march= string is now in use allowing us to choose
required extensions (compressed, FPU, atomic, etc).

On most architectures crt objects are compiled in a multiple-step process
so that sed can be run on the generated assembly. As the final step,
the C compiler generates an object file from the modified assembly output.
Currently this last step uses $CC with only $ACFLAGS. However, for other
uses in the tree, $ACFLAGS is meant to include assembly-specific compiler
flags that are in addition to $CFLAGS (see default .S.o rules
bsd.suffixes.mk). In particular, external toolchains may require
additional flags to select a non-default target which will be present
in CFLAGS but not ACFLAGS. To support this while still mitigating the
issue with CFLAGS described in r234502, include a modified CFLAGS that
excludes "-g" when assembling the modified assembly files.
Note that normally an assembler ($AS) is used to assemble .s flags to
object files (see bsd.suffixes.mk). However, llvm-based toolchains do
not currently have a stand-alone assembler.

generate code to branch based on an address in a register. This allows us
to have binaries larger than the 32MiB limit of a branch instruction.
The main use of this is with clang. Clang 3.8.0 has been shown to be larger
than the above limit.
RISC-V is a new ISA designed to support computer research and education, and
is now become a standard open architecture for industry implementations.
This is a minimal set of changes required to run 'make kernel-toolchain'
using external (GNU) toolchain.

The requirement is for a GCC-compatible compiler and not necessarily
GCC itself. However, we currently expect any compiler used for building
the whole of FreeBSD to be GCC-compatible and many things will break if
not; there's no longer a need to have an explicit test for this in csu.

FILES is not used when LIBRARIES_ONLY is set, which is used to build and
install the lib32 sysroot. All of the csu files do quality as "libraries"
for this case so just undefine LIBRARIES_ONLY.
This is still better than the previous realinstall handling as it does
not hook into META_MODE properly.

This partially reverts r270170 for lib/csu/i386 while retaining the

These FILES groups could go into lib/csu/Makefile.inc but I've kept them

When enough time has passed for users to update their userland the kernel
fix will be applied. This will change the ABI to have x0 point to the args
and sp be correctly aligned.
It is expected this compatibility code can be removed when the kernel and
qemu usermode emulation have both been updated for the new ABI.
This fixes clang failures, and most likely other crashes.

As our copy of binutils is too old the devel/aarch64-binutils port needs

To build either TARGET needs to be set to arm64, or TARGET_ARCH set to
