_mcount() stub when profiling is enabled. Emit this code sequence

We do not pass the GOT entry however as the 4th argument, because it's
not used. The _mcount() stub calls __mcount(), which does the actual
work. Define _MCOUNT_DECL to define __mcount. We do not have an
implementation of mcount(), so we define MCOUNT as empty, but have a
weak alias to _mcount() in _mcount.S.
Note that the _mcount() stub in the kernel is slightly different from
the stub in userland. This is because we do not have to worry about

64 bit systems, years roughly -2^31 through 2^31 can be represented in
time_t without any trouble. 32 bit time_t systems only range from
roughly 1902 through 2038. As a consequence, none of the date munging
code for all the various calendar tweaks before then is present. There
are other problems including the fact that there was no 'year zero' and
so on. So rather than get excited about trying to figure out when the
calendar jumped by two weeks etc, simply disallow negative (ie: prior to
1900) years.
This happens to have an important side effect. If you bzero a 'struct
tm', it corresponds to 'Jan 0, 1900, 00:00 GMT'. This happens to be
representable (after canonification) in 64 bit time_t space. Zero tm
structs are generally an error and mktime normally returns -1 for them.
Interestingly, it tries to canonify the 'jan 0' to 'dec 31, 1899', ie:
year -1. This conveniently trips the negative year test above, which
means we can trivially detect the null 'tm' struct.
This actually tripped up code at work. :-/ (Don't ask)

on this mistake.
- It didn't work properly on large long doubles because its argument
was converted to type double, resulting in undefined behavior.
The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count.
The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the
return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out.
Spell this out.
idea is that we perform multibyte->wide character conversion while parsing
and compiling, then convert byte sequences to wide characters when they're
needed for comparison and stepping through the string during execution.
As with tr(1), the main complication is to efficiently represent sets of
characters in bracket expressions. The old bitmap representation is replaced
by a bitmap for the first 256 characters combined with a vector of individual
wide characters, a vector of character ranges (for [A-Z] etc.), and a vector
of character classes (for [[:alpha:]] etc.).
One other point of interest is that although the Boyer-Moore algorithm had
to be disabled in the general multibyte case, it is still enabled for UTF-8
because of its self-synchronizing nature. This greatly speeds up matching
by reducing the number of multibyte conversions that need to be done.
consequently the exponent is only 11 bits. Testing whether the
exponent equals 32767 in that case only effects to compiler warnings

isnormal() the hard way, rather than relying on fpclassify(). This is
a lose in the sense that we need a total of 12 functions, but it is
necessary for binary compatibility because we have never bumped libm's
major version number. In particular, isinf(), isnan(), and isnanf()
were BSD libc functions before they were C99 macros, so we can't
reimplement them in terms of fpclassify() without adding a dependency
on libc.so.5. I have tried to arrange things so that programs that
could be compiled in FreeBSD 4.X will generate the same external
references when compiled in 5.X. At the same time, the new macros
should remain C99-compliant.
The isinf() and isnan() functions remain in libc for historical
reasons; however, I have moved the functions that implement the macros
isfinite() and isnormal() to libm where they belong. Moreover,
half a dozen MD versions of isinf() and isnan() have been replaced
with MI versions that work equally well.
