we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
struct timeval passed to todr_gettime(9) and todr_settime(9).
We no longer have an ancient and volatile struct timeval `time'
global since we have switched to MI timercounter(9) on all port.
XXX1: some of these RTC drivers still assume 32bit time_t
XXX2: some of these should be rewritten to use todr_[gs]ettime_ymdhms()
XXX3: todr(9) man page doesn't mention todr_[gs]ettime_ymdhms()
- Replace most remaining uses of l_addr with uvm_lwp_getuarea() or lwp_getpcb().
- Amend assembly in ports where it accesses PCB via struct user.
- Rename L_ADDR to L_PCB in few places. Reduce sys/user.h inclusions.
- renamed to MEMORY_DISK_RBFLAGS to better fit the rest of the
MEMORY_DISK options(4)
- change default value to RB_AUTOBOOT instead of RB_SINGLE, and adapt
the config(5) files accordingly
- document this option inside options(4)

phases, so move the initialization of the ksyms mutex back into main via
a function called ksyms_init. Rename the existing (but quite different)
ksyms_init* variations into ksyms_addsyms_elf() and ksyms_addsyms_explicit()
and adapt machdep code accordingly.
doshutdownhooks(9): shutdown hooks registered by shutdownhook_establish(9)
expect to be called with interrupts disabled, but shutdown hooks
registered with pmf_device_register1(9) expect to be called with
interrupts enabled. So I have made two changes:
1 Do not call pmf_system_shutdown() from doshutdownhooks(). Instead,
change every call to doshutdownhooks() to a call to doshutdownhooks()
followed by a call to pmf_system_shutdown(). No functional change
is intended by this change.
2 Make i386 re-enable interrupts briefly while it calls
pmf_system_shutdown(). I leave it to others either to fix the
other ports, or to factor out some MI shutdown code, as joerg@
suggests, and fix that. Note that a functional change *is* intended
by this change.
I hope that this patch will stop us from flip-flopping between
calling doshutdownhooks() and pmf_system_shutdown() sometimes with
and sometimes without interrupts enabled.
