sys: Remove ancient SCCS tags.

Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

sys: Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line .h pattern

Remove /^\s*\*+\s*\$FreeBSD\$.*$\n/


# 5c2967f6 29-Nov-2020 Michal Meloun <mmel@FreeBSD.org>

Remove the pre-ARMv6 and pre-INTRNG code.
ARM has required ARMV6+ and INTRNg for some time now, so remove
always false #ifdefs and unconditionally do always true #ifdefs.

spdx: initial adoption of licensing ID tags.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

RelNotes: yes

Revert prior commit to restore the files mangled by my "fixing" merge
conflicts for a git rebase I tried to do.

Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

# 40cb6df5 25-May-2016 Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org>

Disable alignment faults on armv6, adjust various alignment-related macros
to match the new state of affairs. The hardware we support has always been
able to do unaligned accesses, we've just never enabled it until now.

This brings FreeBSD into line with all the other major OSes, and should help
with the growing volume of 3rd-party software that assumes unaligned access
will just work on armv6 and armv7.


# da6da157 21-May-2016 Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org>

Adjust _ALIGNBYTES to the proper value for arm and armv6 arches. Modern
compilers can emit arm instructions that require 8-byte alignment. The
alignment-sensitive instructions were added in armv5, which has to be
supported by our combined v4/v5 kernels, so the value is set uncoditionally
for all arm architecture versions.

Also adjust the comment to explain in more detail why the macros have the
form and values they do.

Per advice from bde@, maintain the unsignedness of the value of _ALIGNBYTES
(but do so using his second choice of allowing sizeof() to supply the
unsignedness, rather than just hardcoding '8U', which in my mind would
require an even more verbose comment to explain why it's right). Also
explain in the comment that the resulting type of _ALIGN() is equivelent
to uinptr_t on arm (32-bit unsigned int), but it's purposely spelled as
"unsigned" to avoid problems with including other header files. Even
including machine/_types.h to allow use of __uintptr_t causes compilation
failures because of this header being included (indirectly) in asm code.

The discussion that led to this change (albeit at a glacial pace) is at

# a7d5f7eb 19-Oct-2010 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org>

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# a254d1f1 08-Sep-2009 Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org>

Get rid of the _NO_NAMESPACE_POLLUTION kludge by creating an
architecture specific include file containing the _ALIGN*
stuff which <sys/socket.h> needs.
