support was never implemented, so it was impossible to use any peripheral

I discovered this while working on llvm/lld and realized export-dynamic
only supported --. Although upstream will eventually grow to support
both - and --, switch this in our build system, because GNU ld supports
both modes, and because there's some hope lld will become the default linker
for FreeBSD in the future.

in kernel config files..
put VERBOSE_SYSINIT in it's own option header so the one file,
init_main.c, can use it instead of requiring an entire kernel recompile
to change one file..
The C standard undefines behavior when signed integers overflow. The
compiler toolchain has become more adept at detecting this and taking
advantage of faster undefined behavior. At the current time this has the
unfortunate effect of the clock stopping after 24 days of uptime.
clang makes no distinction between -fwrapv and -fno-strict-overflow. gcc
does treat them differently but -fwrapv is mature in gcc and is the
behavior are actually expecting.

KVM clock shares the same data structures between the guest and the host
as Xen so it makes sense to just have a single copy of this code.

The motivation here is to eventually teach netisr and potentially
other networking subsystems a bit more about how RSS work queues / buckets
are configured so things have a hope of auto-configuring in the future.
* net/rss_config.[ch] takes care of the generic bits for doing
configuration, hash function selection, etc;
* topelitz.[ch] is now in net/ rather than netinet/;
* (and would be in libkern if it didn't directly include RSS_KEYSIZE;
that's a later thing to fix up.)
* netinet/in_rss.[ch] now just contains the IPv4 specific methods;
* and netinet/in6_rss.[ch] now just contains the IPv6 specific methods.
This should have no functional impact on anyone currently using
the RSS support.

code in sys/kern/kern_dump.c. Most dumpsys() implementations are nearly
identical and simply redefine a number of constants and helper subroutines;
a generic implementation will make it easier to implement features around
kernel core dumps. This change does not alter any minidump code and should
have no functional impact.

get the tail part of the path. We can now build kernels the
old-fashioned way on FreeBSD 9.x and 10.x on at least amd64 using
clang 3.3, 3.4 or gcc 4.2.1 (though with the latter you need
WITHOUT_MODULES="aesni vmm cxgbe" due to various issues with
gcc 4.2.1).
of the scan API.
The eventual aim is to have 'ieee80211_scan.c' have the net80211 and
driver facing scan API to start, finish and continue doing scanning
while 'ieee80211_swscan.c' implements the software scanner that
runs the scan task, handles probe request/reply bits, configures
the VAP off-channel, changes channel and does the scanning bits.
For NICs that do no scanning at all, the existing code is needed.
ath(4) and most of the other NICs (dumb USB ones in particular)
do little to no scan offload - it's all done in software.
Some NICs may do single channel at a time scanning; I haven't really
checked them out in detail.
iwn(4), the upcoming 7260 driver stuff, the new Qualcomm Atheros
11ac chipsets and the Atheros mobile/USB full-offload chips all
have complete scan engines in firmware. We don't have to drive
any of it at all - the firmware just needs to be told what to scan,
when to scan, how long to scan. It'll take care of going off
channel, pausing TX/RX appropriately, sending sleep notification
to the AP, sending probe requests and handling probe responses.
It'll do passive/active scan itself. It's almost completely
transparent to the network stack - all we see are scan notifications
when it finishes scanning each channel and beacons/probe responses
when it does its thing. Once it's done we get a final notification
that the scan is complete, with some scan results in the message.
The iwn(4) NICs handle doing active scanning too as an option
and will handle waiting appropriately on 5GHz passive channels
before active scanning.
There's some more refactoring, tidying up and lock assertions to
sprinkle around to tidy this whole thing up before I turn swscan.c
into another set of ic methods to override by the driver or
alternate scan module. So in theory this is all one big no-op
commit. In theory.
Tested:
* iwn(4) 5200, STA mode
* ath(4) 6205, STA mode
* ath(4) - various NICs, AP mode
has support for the .codeXX directives). However, it is desirable, for
a time, to allow kernels to be built with clang 3.4. Historically, it
has been advantageous to allow stable X-1 to build kernels the old
way (so long as the impact of doing so is small), and this restores
that ability.
Also, centralize the addition of ${ASM_CFLAGS.${.IMPSRC}}, place it in
kern.mk rather than kern.pre.mk so that all modules can benefit, and
give the same treatment to CFLAGS in kern.mk as well.
building with gcc 4.2
This has been requested several times over the past few months by several
people (including me), because gcc 4.2 just gets it wrong too often. It's
causing us to litter the code with lots of bogus initializers just to
squelch the warnings. We still have clang and coverity telling us about
uninitialized variables, and they do so more accurately.
