zic's new -b option supports a way to control data bloat and to
test for year-2038 bugs in software that reads TZif files.
'zic -b fat' and 'zic -b slim' generate larger and smaller output;
for example, changing from fat to slim shrinks the Europe/London
file from 3648 to 1599 bytes, saving about 56%. Fat and slim
files represent the same set of timestamps and use the same TZif
format as documented in tzfile(5) and in Internet RFC 8536.
Fat format attempts to work around bugs or incompatibilities in
older software, notably software that mishandles 64-bit TZif data
or uses obsolete TZ strings like "EET-2EEST" that lack DST rules.
Slim format is more efficient and does not work around 64-bit bugs
or obsolete TZ strings. Currently zic defaults to fat format
unless you compile with -DZIC_BLOAT_DEFAULT=\"slim\"; this
out-of-the-box default is intended to change in future releases
as the buggy software often mishandles timestamps anyway.
zic no longer treats a set of rules ending in 2037 specially.
Previously, zic assumed that such a ruleset meant that future
timestamps could not be predicted, and therefore omitted a
POSIX-like TZ string in the TZif output. The old behavior is no
longer needed for current tzdata, and caused problems with newlib
when used with older tzdata (reported by David Gauchard).
zic no longer generates some artifact transitions. For example,
Europe/London no longer has a no-op transition in January 1996.

escapes have undefined results when moving out of the screen. Stop using DO
to move down multiple lines and use a loop of newlines instead.
Introduce two new ptrace() requests: PT_GETXSTATE and PT_SETXSTATE,
that provide access to the extended (and extensible) set of FPU
registers on amd64 and i386. At the moment, this covers AVX (YMM)
and AVX-512 (ZMM, opmask) registers. It can be easily extended
to cover further register types without breaking backwards
compatibility.
PT_GETXSTATE issues the XSAVE instruction with all kernel-supported
extended components enabled. The data is copied into 'struct xstate'
(which -- unlike the XSAVE area itself -- has stable format
and offsets).
PT_SETXSTATE issues the XRSTOR instruction to restore the register
values from user-provided 'struct xstate'. The function replaces only
the specific XSAVE components that are listed in 'xs_rfbm' field,
making it possible to issue partial updates.
Both syscalls take a 'struct iovec' pointer rather than a direct
argument. This requires the caller to explicitly specify the buffer
size. As a result, existing code will continue to work correctly
when the structure is extended (performing partial reads/updates).
mknod with mode & S_IFIFO and dev=0 shall behave like mkfifo.
Update the documentation to reflect this state.
Add ATF tests.
This is an in-kernel implementation as typically user-space programs use
mkfifo(2) directly, however whenever there is need to bypass libc (like in
valgrind) then portable POSIX software calls the mknod syscall.

without refresh. If the window is not dirty but the window cursor
position does not match curscr then move the cursor. This fixes
the issues seen in PR lib/54263.
Keep track of the cursor location, if getch is called without a refresh
and without pending updates (dirty windows) then move the cursor to the
correct location directly. Doing this prevents unnecessary refreshes.
Provide three ranges in the conf space: <libnvmm:0-100>, <MI:100-200> and
<MD:200-...>. Remove nvmm_callbacks_register(), and replace it by the conf
op NVMM_MACH_CONF_CALLBACKS, handled by libnvmm. The callbacks are now
per-machine, and the emulators should now do:
- nvmm_callbacks_register(&cbs);
+ nvmm_machine_configure(&mach, NVMM_MACH_CONF_CALLBACKS, &cbs);
This provides more granularity, for example if the process runs two VMs
and wants different callbacks for each.
