sys/stdarg.h and expect compiler to provide proper builtins, defaulting
to the GCC interface. lint still has a special fallback.
Reduce abuse of _BSD_VA_LIST_ by defining __va_list by default and
derive va_list as required by standards.
NetBSD/alpha and NetBSD/sparc. This fixes PR#34751.
The problem most likely started to show in gcc4 and is caused by the use of
a casting to an uint32_t pointer that is later copied from using memcpy.
Gcc detects the copying of 4 bytes from an uint32_t pointer and decides to
just replace it with an aligned copy causing the trap.
Fix provided by Izumi Tsutsui and ok'd by Martin.
all callers of these functions are at splsoftnet already:
tcp_sack_option
tcp_input ok
tcp_del_sackholes
tcp_input ok
tcp_free_sackholes
tcp_close ok
tcp_timer_rexmt ok
tcp_timer_2msl ok
with spl used to protect other allocations and frees, or datastructure
element insertion and removal, in adjacent code.
It is almost unquestionably the case that some of the spl()/splx() calls
added here are superfluous, but it really seems wrong to see:
s=splfoo();
/* frob data structure */
splx(s);
pool_put(x);
and if we think we need to protect the first operation, then it is hard
to see why we should not think we need to protect the next. "Better
safe than sorry".
It is also almost unquestionably the case that I missed some pool
gets/puts from interrupt context with my strategy for finding these
calls; use of PR_NOWAIT is a strong hint that a pool may be used from
interrupt context but many callers in the kernel pass a "can wait/can't
wait" flag down such that my searches might not have found them. One
notable area that needs to be looked at is pf.

- introduce t_segqlen, the number of segments in segq/timeq.
the name is from freebsd.
- rather than maintaining a copy of sack blocks (rcv_sack_block[]),
build it directly from the segment list when needed.

Fixes in that patch for pre-existing TCP pcb initializations were already
committed to NetBSD-current, so are not included in this commit.
The SACK patch has been observed to correctly negotiate and respond,
to SACKs in wide-area traffic.
There are two indepenently-observed, as-yet-unresolved anomalies:
First, seeing unexplained delays between in fast retransmission
(potentially explainable by an 0.2sec RTT between adjacent
ethernet/wifi NICs); and second, peculiar and unepxlained TCP
retransmits observed over an ath0 card.
After discussion with several interested developers, I'm committing
this now, as-is, for more eyes to use and look over. Current hypothesis
is that the anomalies above may in fact be due to link/level (hardware,
driver, HAL, firmware) abberations in the test setup, affecting both
Kentaro's wired-Ethernet NIC and in my two (different) WiFi NICs.
