FWIW, I can't get any workaround to work. Iterative
setting of -O to -O2 where I could find it across
various builds got me finally to here where I gave up:
bash-3.00# /usr/sbin/modload
sun4x_510/dest/root.client/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs64.o
can't load module: Out of memory or no room in system tables
May 31 18:01:47 rcf-afs-test.our.org genunix: [ID 104096 kern.warning]
WARNING: system call missing from bind file
I then rebooted and got the same result upon trying modload
again.

Or I can just find it by commenting stuff out and seeing when the

which makes sense; that's pretty easily optimizable into a memset.
I'll get a simpler demonstration together to submit to Oracle.
Also, Jeff, if you want a quick workaround, you can change -O to -O2 or
just leave out the -O option. I think changing the value of KERN_OPTMZ
in src/cf/osconf.m4 should be enough...
And now I'm not completely sure if this is a bug or if we're just
missing the magic incantation to make this not happen. A simple test
case:
void
foo(short *arr)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i< 256; i++)
arr[i] = 0;
}
If you compile with 'cc foo.c -c -o foo.o -O3', you get a reference to
_memset. If you compile with -O2 or below, you don't. Passing
-xbuiltin=%none, any of the -xno*lib or -xc99 etc options don't seem to
change anything. With older versions of Sun/Solaris Studio, it never
seems to call _memset.
The Oracle documentation on this is puzzling to me:
<http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19205-01/821-1384/gjzku/index.html>
It says "The following table lists runtime support functions that may be
called in code compiled to run in the Solaris kernel, as a result of
source code translation by the C compiler." the table includes _memset,
_memcpy, et al. Then it says
"Note that some versions of the kernel do not provide _memmove(),
_memcpy(), or _memset(), but do provide kernel mode analogues of the
user mode routines memmove(), memcpy(), and memset()."
But it doesn't say how to avoid it. I'm not sure if there's a compiler
flag we're missing here, or if it's not supported to use -O3 for kernel
modules, or... ? Or it's just a bug. It's also interesting that this
doesn't happen on amd64, though I assume that's just because it uses
different arch-specific optimizations.
I don't know, should I just try to file a bug anyway, or should we try
to get someone with a support contract to say something?
