Replace use of the pipe(2) system call with pipe2(2) with a zero flags value.
This eliminates the need for machine dependant assembly wrappers for pipe(2).
It also make passing an invalid address to pipe(2) return EFAULT rather than triggering a segfault. Document this behavior (which was already true for pipe2(2), but undocumented).

libc/{i386,amd64}: Do not export .cerror when building WITHOUT_SYMVER
Further to r240152 (i386) and r240178 (amd64), hide the .cerror symbol so that it is not exported if symbol versioning is not in use. Without this change WITHOUT_SYMVER libc contains .text relocations for .cerror, as described in LLVM PR 26813 (http://llvm.org/pr26813).
This is a no-op for the regular build as the symbol version script already controls .cerror visibility.

Copy the fencing of the algorithm to do lock-less update and reading of the timehands, from the kern_tc.c implementation to vdso. Add comments giving hints where to look for the algorithm explanation.
To compensate the removal of rmb() in userspace binuptime(), add explicit lfence instruction before rdtsc. On i386, add usual complications to detect SSE2 presence; assume that old CPUs which do not implement SSE2 also execute rdtsc almost in order.

The lseek(2), mmap(2), truncate(2), ftruncate(2), pread(2), and pwrite(2) syscalls are wrapped to provide compatibility with pre-7.x kernels which required padding before the off_t parameter. The fcntl(2) contains compatibility code to handle kernels before the struct flock was changed during the 8.x CURRENT development. The shims were reasonable to allow easier revert to the older kernel at that time.
Now, two or three major releases later, shims do not serve any purpose. Such old kernels cannot handle current libc, so revert the compatibility code.
Make padded syscalls support conditional under the COMPAT6 config option. For COMPAT32, the syscalls were under COMPAT6 already.
Remove WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT build option, which only purpose was to (partially) disable the removed shims.

libc: Access _logname_valid more efficiently.
The variable _logname_valid is not exported via the version script; therefore, change C and i386/amd64 assembler code to remove indirection (which allowed interposition). This makes the code slightly smaller and faster.
Also, remove #define PIC_GOT from i386/amd64 in !PIC mode. Without PIC, there is no place containing the address of each variable, so there is no possible definition for PIC_GOT.

libc/amd64: Do not export .cerror.
For some reason, libc exports the symbol .cerror (HIDENAME(cerror)), albeit in the FBSDprivate_1.0 version. It looks like there is no reason for this since it is not used from other libraries. Given that it cannot be accessed from C and its strange calling convention, it is rather unlikely that other things rely on it. Perhaps it is from a time when symbols could not be hidden.
Most of the amd64 assembler code jumps to .cerror using the GOT. It can jump to it directly now, as in non-PIC mode.
There are also some minor size optimizations to instructions but they yield virtually no benefit in the size of libc.so.7 due to padding.

Use struct vdso_timehands data to implement fast gettimeofday(2) and clock_gettime(2) functions if supported. The speedup seen in microbenchmarks is in range 4x-7x depending on the hardware.
Only amd64 and i386 architectures are supported. Libc uses rdtsc and kernel data to calculate current time, if enabled by kernel.
Hopefully, this code is going to migrate into vdso in some future.

Mark uname(), getdomainname() and setdomainname() with COMPAT_FREEBSD4.
Looking at our source code history, it seems the uname(), getdomainname() and setdomainname() system calls got deprecated somewhere after FreeBSD 1.1, but they have never been phased out properly. Because we don't have a COMPAT_FREEBSD1, just use COMPAT_FREEBSD4.
Also fix the Linuxolator to build without the setdomainname() routine by just making it call userland_sysctl on kern.domainname. Also replace the setdomainname()'s implementation to use this approach, because we're duplicating code with sysctl_domainname().
I wasn't able to keep these three routines working in our COMPAT_FREEBSD32, because that would require yet another keyword for syscalls.master (COMPAT4+NOPROTO). Because this routine is probably unused already, this won't be a problem in practice. If it turns out to be a problem, we'll just restore this functionality.

Classify mmap, lseek, pread, pwrite, truncate, ftruncate as pseudo syscalls, unless WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT is defined. The default case will have the .c wrappers still. If you define WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT, the .c wrappers will go away and libc will make direct syscalls.
After 7-stable starts, the direct syscall method will be default.

Provide sysarch(2) prototypes in the MD sysarch.h headers. While I'm at it, use the ANSI C generic pointer type for the second argument, thus matching the documentation.
Remove the now extraneous (and now conflicting) function declarations in various libc sources. Remove now unnecessary casts.

Add the mlockall() and munlockall() system calls. - All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are* necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from linking to this API (suggested by mux) - Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c. - Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES to express their intention explicitly. - Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level. Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness. - The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE. This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed. - Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly (tested with WITNESS, MUTEX_PROFILING, INVARIANTS and DIAGNOSTIC).

Use '_end' symbol instead of 'end' to initialize minbrk and curbrk variables. Both symbols are set to the same value by the linker, and _end symbol has less chances to clash with application defined global symbols.
alpha, ia64 and sparc64 ports already use _end, i386 is now consistent with them.

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.

sigset_t change (part 5 of 5) -----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not be a problem because current applications don't use any signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries: libdialog libreadline libc libc_r libedit libftpio libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer. According to good taste this means that I will receive a badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled, drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The change cause sys/types to be included along the way which contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider this a solution, but more a workaround.

The syscall that creates a kernel thread is coming, but it doesn't use the default syscall asm, so add it to NOASM. The other syscalls that manipulate kernel threads use the default asm code, so they just get built automatically.

Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA, which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions. The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page. It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also: The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3. The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

Add support to enable libc to be compiled in ELF format. (#ifdef __ELF__) In a nutshell, this macroizes the local/global symbol scoping rules that are different in a.out and ELF. It also makes the i386 assembler stubs conform to i386 PIC calling conventions - the a.out ld.so didn't object, but the ELF one needs it as it implements PIC jumps via PLT's as well as calls. The a.out rtld only worked because it was accidently snooping the grandparent calling function's return address off the stack..
This also affects the libc_r code a little, because of cpp macro nesting.
