# 303975 11-Aug-2016 gjb

Copy stable/11@r303970 to releng/11.0 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE
cycle.

Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, and rename it to RC1.

Update __FreeBSD_version.

Use the quarterly branch for the default FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) repo and
the dvd1.iso packages population.

# 295271 04-Feb-2016 jhb

Fix build of powerpc FPU emulator after changes in r295132 to restore the
ABI of struct fpreg. The FPU emulator operates on the "raw" FPU state
stored in the pcb rather than the "cooked" fpreg state used for ptrace()
and cores.

# 279189 22-Feb-2015 nwhitehorn

Kernel support for the Vector-Scalar eXtension (VSX) found on the POWER7
and POWER8. This instruction set unifies the 32 64-bit scalar floating
point registers with the 32 128-bit vector registers into a single bank
of 64 128-bit registers. Kernel support mostly amounts to saving and
restoring the wider version of the floating point registers and making
sure that both scalar FP and vector registers are enabled once a VSX
instruction is executed. get_mcontext() and friends currently cannot
see the high bits, which will require a little more work.

As the system compiler (GCC 4.2) does not support VSX, making use of this
from userland requires either newer GCC or clang.

# 258250 17-Nov-2013 nwhitehorn

Make single precision floating point arithmetic actually work -- I think
it never did -- and fix an obvious missing line. Floating point emulation
on Book-E still needs some work but this gets it basically functional on
soft-FPU systems (hard FPU for Book-E is not yet implemented).

# 178030 09-Apr-2008 grehan

Include <sys/types.h> before <sys/systm.h> to get typedefs required
by new atomic.h. Fixes tinderbox LINT build.


# 176491 23-Feb-2008 marcel

Add a floating-point emulator so that a single userland or single ABI
can run on processors that don't have a FPU. This is typically the
case for Book E processors. While a tuned system will probably want
to use soft-float (or use a processor that has a FPU if the usage is
FP intensive enough), allowing hard-float on FPU-less systems gives
great portability and flexibility.
