accept4 is a syscall in Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. It is used in
LLVM, zeromq, and probably others. paccept is a superset of it.
adding it to libc ensures it is used by programs and prevents the
need to define the same wrapper in every program.
support for Endian-Independent FFS and Apple UFS is disabled unless FFS_EI=1
and APPLE_UFS=1 are added to CRUNCHENV, respectively.
This reduces the size of ramdisk image for atari by over 15KB.
Thanks tsutsui and christos for their useful comments.
- Call softint_disestablish() and pci_intr_disestablish() for all queues
correctly.
- Add missing sysctl_teardown() to delete sysctl entries.
- Call pci_intr_release(). Now NETBSD_MSI_OR_MSIX is completely deleted.
libpthread_dbg(3) is a remnant library from the M:N thread model
(pre-NetBSD-5.0) API to introspect threads within a process and for use
of debuggers.
Currently in the 1:1 model it's not used in GDB neither in LLDB and it's
not either planned to be used. It's current function to read pthread_t
structures is realizable within a regular debugger capable to
instrospect objects within a tracee (GDB, LLDB...).
Remaining users of this API can still use this library from
pkgsrc/devel/libpthread_dbg.

The original exect(2) from BSD4.2 was enabling bit for tracing
(single-step mode) and calling execve(2). The purpose of it was to generate
a signal for a tracer once the application will change its image to a new
program.
This approach no longer works as:
- exect(2) traces (single-steps) libc and it requires hundreds or
thousands steps before entering a new image
- it's vax and x86 specific code
- this functionality has been moved to the kernel - once a process is
traced it will generate SIGTRAP with si_code TRAP_EXEC and route it to
its debugger
- the side effects and unportability make this interface unusable
- there are no known users of this interface
- it apparently never worked better since day0 of NetBSD ("day0 bug")
Users are requested to move to other execve(2) variants. Calling current
execve(2) as it is the most similar behavior to this one from BSD4.2.
Discussed several times on mailing lists and in PR/51700.
Add warning to exect(3) telling about marking this function obsolete.
This function is prepared to be removed in next libc major bump.
