include path: the normal header files now include the "SSP" ones (which one
should note are not really named right: SSP and FORTIFY_SOURCE are independent
features).
Disable USE_SSP on targets where the compiler doesn't support it at all
(mips, alpha) or it's known broken (sh3). But enable FORTIFY_SOURCE,
without SSP, on those platforms -- tested on mipsel.
(what other systems keep in libssp, we already have in libc) into libc
to match what other systems with FORTIFY_SOURCE do. Goodbye, libssp
dependency in libraries and executables. Discussed with christos and
mrg; Christos will merge the headers to get us the rest of the way to a
FORTIFY_SOURCE implementation that works as others' code expects.
FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
dmesgfs is another example file system, which displays the device tree
information gained from dmesg(8) as a directory hierarchy. The information
can be displayed in files, or as targets of symbolic links.

- remove cpu_exit.9.
- remove ctxsw.9 from makefile because it's too stale.
XXX maybe it will revive as mi_switch.9 later.
- add cpu_switchto.9 to makefile.
Introduce a parameter -r to control the root node type. For example
"dtfs -r 'lnk /etc' /puffs" mounts dtfs with the root node as a
symbolic link to /etc:
jojonaru# ./dtfs -r 'lnk /etc' /puffs
jojonaru# ls -l /puffs
lrw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 4 May 17 14:06 /puffs -> /etc
jojonaru# cd /puffs
jojonaru# pwd
/etc
jojonaru#
Extra credit for figuring out how to unmount this file system with
umount(8).
Likewise, "dtfs -r 'chr 2 12' /puffs" makes /puffs (i386) /dev/zero etcetc.
