create kernel threads and call rfork(2) with RFTHREAD flag set in this case,
which puts parent and child into the same threading group. As a result
all threads that belong to the same program end up in the same threading
group.
This is similar to what linuxthreads port does, though in this case we don't
have a luxury of having access to the source code and there is no definite
way to differentiate linux_clone() called for threading purposes from other
uses, so that we have to resort to heuristics.
Allow SIGTHR to be delivered between all processes in the same threading
group previously it has been blocked for s[ug]id processes.
This also should improve locking of the same file descriptor from different
threads in programs running under linux compat layer.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.
By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

timer case:
- Remove the virtual fooclock interrupt counters as they have served their
purpose.
- Adjust the dividers for the different clock such that profhz is now a
multiple of stathz as in the non-lapic case, and the timer now runs at
hz * 2 rather than hz * 3. With the new divisors, the default clock
rates are:
kern.clockrate: { hz = 1000, tick = 1000, profhz = 666, stathz = 133 }
Also save the DAC state, increase the maximum save state size from
4k to 8k, and refuse to save the VESA state if the BIOS reports it
is larger than the maximum size we can handle.

Dothan and later processors involves working with acpi_perf(4) to extract

preliminary support for using the GCC-compatibility of ICC was committed
but couldn't be tested at that time due to problems with ICC itself. Since
ICC 8.1 it's possible to use its GCC-compatibility under FreeBSD and it
turned out that a typedef for __gnuc_va_list is required in that case.
Revert the part of rev. 1.8 which #ifdef'ed out __gnuc_va_list for ICC.

former is callable from user space and the latter from the kernel one. Make
kernel version take additional argument which tells if the respective call

Make all emulation layers using non-checked version, since signal numbers in
emulation layers can have different meaning that in native mode and such
protection can cause misbehaviour.
As a result remove LIBTHR from the signals allowed to be delivered to a

those options to NOTES on i386 (note: the ifdef around the whole code
is for module building). Tweak pc98 ed support to include wd80x3 too.
Add goo for alpha too.
The affected cards are the 3Com 3C503, HP LAN+ and SIC (whatever that
is). I couldn't find any of these for sale on ebay, so they are
untested. If you have one of these cards, and send it to me, I'll
ensure that you have no future problems with it...
Minor cleanups as well by using functions rather than cut and paste
code for some probing operations (where the function call overhead is
lost in the noise).
Remove use of kvtop, since they aren't required anymore. This driver
needs to get its memory mapped act together, however, and use bus
space. It doesn't right now.
This reduces the size of if_ed.ko from about 51k to 33k on my laptop.

rather than forwarding interrupts from the clock devices around using IPIs:
- Add an IDT vector that pushes a clock frame and calls
lapic_handle_timer().
- Add functions to program the local APIC timer including setting the
divisor, and setting up the timer to either down a periodic countdown
or one-shot countdown.
- Add a lapic_setup_clock() function that the BSP calls from
cpu_init_clocks() to setup the local APIC timer if it is going to be
used. The setup uses a one-shot countdown to calibrate the timer. We
then program the timer on each CPU to fire at a frequency of hz * 3.
stathz is defined as freq / 23 (hz * 3 / 23), and profhz is defined as
freq / 2 (hz * 3 / 2). This gives the clocks relatively prime divisors
while keeping a low LCM for the frequency of the clock interrupts.
Thanks to Peter Jeremy for suggesting this approach.
- Remove the hardclock and statclock forwarding code including the two
associated IPIs. The bitmap IPI handler has now effectively degenerated
to just IPI_AST.
- When the local APIC timer is used we don't turn the RTC on at all, but
we still enable interrupts on the ISA timer 0 (i8254) for timecounting
purposes.
the semantics in that the returned filename to use is now a kernel

directly.
