* Change suggestion how to set MAKESYSPATH as broken incremental buildache2014-06-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | workaround. Magic ".../share/mk" (search directories up to /) does not work for f.e. /usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc because the path inside is starting from /usr/obj hierarchy and ends up in /usr/share/mk, not in the /usr/src/share/mk where src.opts.mk is. IMHO proper fixing of incremental build is needed urgently.
* Move atf-sh from /usr/bin/ to /usr/libexec/jmmv2014-06-061-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In r266650, we made libatf-c and libatf-c++ private libraries so that no components outside of the source tree could unintendedly depend on them. This change does the same for the "atf-sh library" by moving the atf-sh interpreter from its public location in /usr/bin/ to the private location in /usr/libexec/. Our build system will ensure that our own test programs use the right binary, but users won't be able to depend on atf-sh by "mistake". Committing this now to ride the UPDATING notice added with r267172 today.
* Homogenize libatf-* version numbers with upstream.jmmv2014-06-061-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | The libatf-* major version numbers in FreeBSD were one version ahead of upstream because, when atf was first imported into FreeBSD, the upstream numbers were not respected. This is just confusing and bound to cause problems down the road. Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that libatf-* are now private and that atf is not yet built by default. However, and unfortunately, a clean build is needed for tests to continue working once "make delete-old-libs" has been run; hence the note in UPDATING.

| | | | | | | | | | | versions. With its movement to src.opts.mk, bsd.prog.mk was testing COMPILER_TYPE without including the bsd.compiler.mk anymore. In the source tree, this caused no problems, for reasons that aren't clear, but does cause problems outside of the source tree. Allow bsd.compiler.mk to be included multiple times safely, and always include bsd.compiler.mk at the top of bsd.prog.mk. Resist the urge to put it in bsd.init.mk, since that would reintroduce the implicit include.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add it in kern.mk, but only if we're using clang. While this option is supported by both clang and gcc, in the future there may be changes to clang which change the defaults that require a tweak to build our kernel such that other tools in our tree will work. Set a good example by forcing -gdwarf-2 only for clang builds, and only if the user hasn't specified another dwarf level already. Update UPDATING to reflect the changed state of affairs. This also keeps us from having to update all the ARM kernels to add this, and also keeps us from in the future having to update all the MIPS kernels and is one less place the user will have to know to do something special for clang and one less thing developers will need to do when moving an architecture to clang.

The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When generating a Kyuafile in the KYUAFILE=auto case, use a filename that is unlikely to clash with the filename used by explicitly-provided Kyuafiles. This allows a Makefile to set KYUAFILE=yes and provide a Kyuafile in the same directory when such Makefile was previously relying on KYUAFILE=auto. Fixes issues with new Kyuafiles not being picked up in NO_CLEAN builds (although manual intervention is required once, unfortunately, as described in UPDATING). Reviewed by: sjg MFC after: 1 week
