- Old JIT is removed.
- Improvements to debug information handling.
- ARM: check for deprecated instructions and warn in the integrated
assembler
- PPC: VSX support, va_arg support for struct/union types, -fPIC vs
-fpic supported, faster atomics
- x86: improved vectorizer
When fts_read() gets an error on fchdir(), it exited with sp->fts_cur
set to a freed structure. fts_close() would later attempt to free it
again, crashing the program.

don't bump v_numoutput if we need to vn_lock() the vnode before queuing
the corresponding I/O, because this may deadlock with genfs_do_putpages()
when called with the vnode locked (as can happen with fsync(2)).
Instead bump is just before the last VOP_STRATEGY(), or before calling
nestiobuf_done().
Thanks to Taylor R Campbell for review.
vrele() called next will do that again - avoids a double free of the
bitmap, leading to a KASSERT failure (or worse in real life) in the
udf_symlink_long in the fs/vfs::t_vnops test.
in the NetBSD-specific code. This happens from ioctl, and usually there is
enough memory there since we just freed our resources and we are getting them
back. We could even check and not do it again if sizes did not change, but
this is how the rest of the code is structured so we follow suit.
XXX: pullup-7
- allow separate configurations for local and remote addresses, implementing
effectively whitelists, requested by dh@
- allow the mask of the filter to be specified, requested by dh@
- the db file format has been changed to accommodate these changes, and
needs to be removed.
