This is a general cleanup of the relocatable kernel support on powerpc, needed to enable kernel ifuncs. * Fix some relocatable issues in the kernel linker, and change to using a RELOCATABLE_KERNEL #define instead of #ifdef __powerpc__ for parts that other platforms can use in the future if they wish to have ET_DYN kernels. * Get rid of the DB_STOFFS hack now that the kernel is relocated to the DMAP properly across the board on powerpc64. * Add powerpc64 and powerpc32 ifunc functionality. * Allow AIM64 virtual mode OF kernels to run from the DMAP like other AIM64 by implementing a virtual mode restart. This fixes the runtime address on PowerMac G5. * Fix symbol relocation problems on post-relocation kernels by relocating the symbol table. * Add an undocumented method for supplying kernel symbols on powernv and other powerpc machines using linux-style kernel/initrd loading -- If you pass the kernel in as the initrd as well, the copy resident in initrd will be used as a source for symbols when initializing the debugger. This method is subject to removal once we have a better way of doing this. Approved by: jhibbits Relnotes: yes Sponsored by: Tag1 Consulting, Inc.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
