Fix 'broken' ifdefs.
icc does not support profiling yet so remove unfinished code which was
supposed to help.

Intel C/C++ compiler (lang/icc) to build the kernel.
The icc CPUTYPE CFLAGS use icc v7 syntax, icc v8 moans about them, but
doesn't abort. They also produce CPU specific code (new instructions
of the CPU, not only CPU specific scheduling), so if you get coredumps
with signal 4 (SIGILL, illegal instruction) you've used the wrong
CPUTYPE.
Incarnations of this patch survive gcc compiles and my make universe.
I use it on my desktop.
To use it update share/mk, add
/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin (icc v7, works)
or
/usr/local/intel_cc_80/bin (icc v8, doesn't work)
to your PATH, make sure you have a new kernel compile directory
(e.g. MYKERNEL_icc) and run
CFLAGS="-O2 -ip" CC=icc make depend
CFLAGS="-O2 -ip" CC=icc make
in it.
Don't compile with -ipo, the build infrastructure uses ld directly to
link the kernel and the modules, but -ipo needs the link step to be
performed with Intel's linker.
Problems with icc v8:
- panic: npx0 cannot be emulated on an SMP system
- UP: first start of /bin/sh results in a FP exception

This should be removed when we update to gcc 3.3 or the bug is otherwise fixed.

CPUTYPE can result in problems later in the buildkernel case. Instead,
set MACHINE_CPU directly and leave CPUTYPE alone.

TARGET_ARCH and TARGET. This is problematic when one has the =
(unconditional) type of assigment for CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf.
(This would override what was set on the command line to "make
buildworld".)
Add a (horrible) kludge to Makefile.inc1 to check the type of
assignment for CPUTYPE (only for those who attempts to set it to
a different value). Fix an example make.conf. Fix the kernel's
build-tools target (aicasm only at the moment) to catch up with
bsd.cpu.mk,v 1.15 (BOOTSTRAPPING replaced with NO_CPU_CFLAGS in
Makefile.inc1's BMAKE).

bsd.cpu.mk doesn't have to worry about compilers other than the current
version.
- Allow TARGET_CPUTYPE to override CPUTYPE in bsd.cpu.mk.
- Treat an empty CPUTYPE the same as an undefined CPUTYPE.
- For buildworld, buildkernel, etc., define TARGET_CPUTYPE to CPUTYPE for
native builds and define it to be empty for cross-builds.
TARGET_CPUTYPE is only defined if it is not already defined via the
commandline or environment.
- To minimize whitespace changes, remove a test that didn't define
_CPUCFLAGS if both NO_CPU_CFLAGS and NO_CPU_COPTFLAGS were defined
since it is redundant (we don't use _CPUCFLAGS if those are defined).
to tune for more advanced processors while still supporting the minimum
processor in an architecture. We can do this with the '-mtune=' option
to gcc for alpha, sparc64, and powerpc and with the mis-named '-mcpu='
option for i386.
This defaults to tuning i386 builds for i686 machines though not using
any instructions that aren't found on an 80386. For alpha it defaults
to tuning for an EV5.

and Pentium II, III and IV processors (p2, p3, p4), as well as 'mmx' and
'3dnow' MACHINE_CPU tags as appropriate. In the near future this will
be used to control various ports which have MMX/3dNow optimizations,
instead of the ad-hoc methods currently used.

* Rip out MACHINE_CPU stuff from sys.mk and include a new <bsd.cpu.mk>
after we pull in /etc/make.conf. We need to do it afterwards so we can
react to the user setting of the:
* CPUTYPE variable, which contains the CPU type which the user wants to
optimize for. For example, if you want your binaries to only run on an
i686-class machine (or higher), set this to i686. If you want to support
running binaries on a variety of CPU generations, set this to the lowest
common denominator. Supported values are listed in make.conf.
* bsd.cpu.mk does the expansion of CPUTYPE into MACHINE_CPU using the
(hopefully) correct unordered list of CPU types which should be used on
that CPU. For example, an AMD k6 CPU wants any of the following:
k6 k5 i586 i486 i386
This is still an unordered list so the client makefile logic is simple -
client makefiles need to test for the various elements of the set in
decreasing order of priority using ${MACHINE_CPU:M<foo>}, as before.
The various MACHINE_CPU lists are believed to be correct, but should be
checked.
* If NO_CPU_CFLAGS is not defined, add relevant gcc compiler optimization
settings by default (e.g. -karch=k6 for CPUTYPE=k6, etc). Release
builders and developers of third-party software need to make sure not to
enable CPU-specific optimization when generating code intended to be
portable. We probably need to move to an /etc/world.conf to allow the
optimization stuff to be applied separately to world/kernel and external
compilations, but it's not any worse a problem than it was before.
* Add coverage for the ia64/itanium MACHINE_ARCH/CPUTYPE.
* Add CPUTYPE support for all of the CPU types supported by FreeBSD and gcc
(only i386, alpha and ia64 first, since those are the minimally-working
ports. Other architecture porters, please feel free to add the relevant
gunk for your platform).
