spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

# 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.

sys/arm: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

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.


# a66dc0c5 25-May-2016 Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org>

Include machine/acle-compat.h in cdefs.h on arm if the compiler doesn't
have ACLE support built in. The ACLE (ARM C Language Extensions) defines
a set of standardized symbols which indicate the architecture version and
features available. ACLE support is built in to modern compilers (both
clang and gcc), but absent from gcc prior to 4.4.

ARM (the company) provides the acle-compat.h header file to define the
right symbols for older versions of gcc. Basically, acle-compat.h does
for arm about the same thing cdefs.h does for freebsd: defines
standardized macros that work no matter which compiler you use. If ARM
hadn't provided this file we would have ended up with a big #ifdef __arm__
section in cdefs.h with our own compatibility shims.

Remove #include <machine/acle-compat.h> from the zillion other places (an
ever-growing list) that it appears. Since style(9) requires sys/types.h
or sys/param.h early in the include list, and both of those lead to
including cdefs.h, only a couple special cases still need to include
acle-compat.h directly.

# 195ea683 16-Feb-2016 Svatopluk Kraus <skra@FreeBSD.org>

Include pte-v6.h only where needed.


# 82f313b3 04-Feb-2016 Svatopluk Kraus <skra@FreeBSD.org>

Make VM_MEMATTR_xxx definitions independent on pmap internals
for __ARM_ARCH >= 6.

It's TEX class number now, so it still has some meaning.


# 83242da4 31-Jan-2016 Michal Meloun <mmel@FreeBSD.org>

ARM: Rename ARM specific VM_MEMATTR_WT memory attribute to standard one.


# 41a7c569 29-Jan-2016 Michal Meloun <mmel@FreeBSD.org>

ARM: remove old pmap-v6 code. The new pmap-v6 is mature enough, and
dual implementation is showstopper for major cleanup.

This patch only removes old code from tree. Cleanups will follow asap.


# e53ea2ab 30-Nov-2015 Michal Meloun <mmel@FreeBSD.org>

ARM: create new memory attribute for writethrough cacheable memory.
- add new TEX class for WT cacheable memory
- export new TEX class to kernel as VM_MEMATTR_WT attribute
- add new aliases VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_COMBINING and
VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_BACK, it's used in DRM code

Note:
Only Cortex A8 supports WT caching in HW. On rest of Cortex CPUs,
WT requests is treated as uncacheable.

# 84233ddb 26-Mar-2015 Ian Lepore <ian@FreeBSD.org>

New pmap code for armv6. Disabled by default, option ARM_NEW_PMAP enables it.

This is pretty much a complete rewrite based on the existing i386 code. The
patches have been circulating for a couple years and have been looked at by
plenty of people, but I'm not putting anybody on the hook as having reviewed
this in any formal sense except myself.

After this has gotten wider testing from the user community, ARM_NEW_PMAP
will become the default and various dregs of the old pmap code will be
removed.

Properly implement pmap_[get|set]_memattr

# 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.


# 3153e878 12-Jul-2009 Alan Cox <alc@FreeBSD.org>

Add support to the virtual memory system for configuring machine-
dependent memory attributes:

Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.

Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.

Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:

kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.

vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.

Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.

Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

# e999111a 25-Jun-2009 Alan Cox <alc@FreeBSD.org>

This change is the next step in implementing the cache control functionality
required by video card drivers. Specifically, this change introduces
vm_cache_mode_t with an appropriate VM_CACHE_DEFAULT definition on all
architectures. In addition, this changes adds a vm_cache_mode_t parameter
to kmem_alloc_contig() and vm_phys_alloc_contig(). These will be the
interfaces for allocating mapped kernel memory and physical memory,
respectively, with non-default cache modes.
