overwritten. Old code would remove the file regardless of
whether the overwrite was successful or not.
New behaviour:
carpy: {12} touch moo ; chmod 444 moo
carpy: {13} ls
moo
carpy: {14} rm -P moo
rm: moo: -P was specified but file could not be overwritten
carpy: {15} ls
moo
carpy: {16}

Modernise the linker script and make sure we have a symbol after the
link_sets.
Make sure that pmap_bootstrap doesn't tell uvm that some of the kernel
phys pages are free. Previously uvm would very likely allocate the phys
pages used for the link_sets to a MALLOC and they'd get overwritten.
Thanks to David H. Gutteridge for testing various things.
- remove unused code
- KNF
- ANSI function declarations
- replace printf() with aprint_error() except in debug functions
- a few minor indentation/whitespace changes
History: This cleans up another long standing inconsistency where timerblurb for delay() was
calibrated against the stat timer instead the clock timer. Before timecounters
this didn't matter at al as both timer run with the same frequency and the
calibration was a frequency based calibration.

Fix verified to work by Fanch.

- Protect k[78]_powernow_init() functions with #ifdef POWERNOW_K[78] to
make it build without these options.
This fixes the problem reported by hubertf.
interfaces ippp(4) and pppoe(4). Insufficient checking of options presented
by the peer may cause writing of copies of the malicious input beyond the
end of a buffer allocated for that purpose.

This is SA2006-019 (CVE-2006-4304)
Members of the thread group must die without reporting to the parent and
without going to zombie stage. We do that by reparenting to init before
catching a SIGKILL. The parent will not see the child death.
The thread group leader must report the exit status, even if it exits
because of another thread calling exit_group(). We do that by storing the
exit status in struct linux_emuldata_shared, and the exit hook has the
duty of setting struct proc's p_xstat for the thread group leader.
2) For exit/fork/exec hooks, move the NPTL specific code to separate functions
that are shared between COMPAT_LINUX and COMPAT_LINUX32
3) Fix LINUX_CLONE_PARENT_SETTID semantics
