1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.

This targets the existing ARMv6 and ARMv7 SoCs that contain a VFP unit.
This is an optional coprocessors may not be present in all devices, however
it appears to be in all current SoCs we support.
armv6hf targets the VFP variant of the ARM EABI and our copy of gcc is too
old to support this. Because of this there are a number of WITH/WITHOUT
options that are unsupported and must be left as the default value. The
options and their required value are:
* WITH_ARM_EABI
* WITHOUT_GCC
* WITHOUT_GNUCXX
In addition, without an external toolchain, the following need to be left
as their default:
* WITH_CLANG
* WITH_CLANG_IS_CC
As there is a different method of passing float and double values to
functions the ABI is incompatible with existing armv6 binaries. To use
this a full rebuild of world is required. Because no floating point values
are passed into the kernel an armv6 kernel with VFP enabled will work with
an armv6hf userland and vice versa.

on a core, when the core was stopped, by calling kgdb_trgt_core_pcb().
This has 2 advantages:
1. We don't need to include a machine-specific header anymore and as
such kthr.c is truly machine independent. This allows the code to
be used in a cross-debugger.
2. We don't need to lookup stoppcbs in generic code when it's an
inherently target-spicific symbol. It does not exist for ia64.
Implement kgdb_trgt_core_pcb() for all architectures, except ia64, by
calling a common function called kgdb_trgt_stop_pcb(). This function
differs from kgdb_trgt_core_pcb() in that it gets the size of the PCB
structure as an argument and as such remains machine independent.
On ia64 the PCB for stopped cores is in the PCPU structure itself.
This for better scaling. The implementation of kgdb_trgt_core_pcb()

- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures

- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be

with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that

Once we use libcompiler_rt, the LIB-line must go, to prevent libgcc.a
from being built. Therefore, just hardcode the name.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
