spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD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

# 718cf2cc 27-Nov-2017 Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org>

sys/dev: 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.

Pull in r267961 and r267973 again. Fix for issues reported will follow.


# 37a107a4 27-Jun-2014 Glen Barber <gjb@FreeBSD.org>

Revert r267961, r267973:

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:

1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory


# 3da1cf1e 27-Jun-2014 Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org>

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

# bc919a54 05-Nov-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

TX EDMA debugging fixes:

* Do the calculation for each ath_buf, rather than just the first
* Correct the calculation in the first place.


# 70ee9029 02-Nov-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Add a debug method to dump the EDMA TX status descriptor contents out.

This requires some HAL API changes to be useful, as there's no way
right now to pull out the TX status descriptor contents.


# 6d24c7db 24-Sep-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Debugging output fixes:

* use the correct frame status - although the completion descriptor is
the _last_ in the frame/aggregate, the status is currently stored in
the _first_ buffer.

* Print out ath_buf specific fields once, not per descriptor in an ath_buf.


# bb1bf7ed 27-Aug-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Only print the descriptor contents!

# bd68600c 19-Aug-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Make sure all of the buffers are printed, rather than (n-1).


# e913fcda 18-Aug-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Extend the TX descriptor debug printing to be properly aware of
EDMA code.

* create a new TX EDMA descriptor struct to represent TX EDMA descriptors
when doing debugging;
* implement an EDMA printing function which:
+ hardcodes the TX map size to 4 for now;
+ correctly prints out the number of segments - there's one descriptor
for up to 4 buffers (segments), not one for each segment;
+ print out 4 DS buffer and len pointers;
+ print out the correct number of DWORDs in the TX descriptor.

TODO:

* Remove all of the hard-coded stuff. Ew.


# 0655b67b 11-Aug-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Add the AR9380 HAL to the TX descriptor debugging, in order to dump all
of the descriptor contents.


# 74732ec4 09-Jul-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Extend the RX descriptor completion debugging to log the larger
AR93xx receive descriptors.

This isn't entirely complete - the AR93xx and later descriptors
don't have a link/buffer pointer; the descriptor contents just
start.


# a108d2d6 11-Jun-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Revert r233227 and followup commits as it breaks CCMP PN replay detection.

This showed up when doing heavy UDP throughput on SMP machines.

The problem with this is because the 802.11 sequence number is being
allocated separately to the CCMP PN replay number (which is assigned
during ieee80211_crypto_encap()).

Under significant throughput (200+ MBps) the TX path would be stressed
enough that frame TX/retry would force sequence number and PN allocation
to be out of order. So once the frames were reordered via 802.11 seqnos,
the CCMP PN would be far out of order, causing most frames to be discarded
by the receiver.

I've fixed this in some local work by being forced to:

(a) deal with the issues that lead to the parallel TX causing out of
order sequence numbers in the first place;
(b) fix all the packet queuing issues which lead to strange (but mostly
valid) TX.

I'll begin fixing these in a subsequent commit or five.

# 0e22ed0e 15-May-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Migrate ath_debug and sc_debug from an int to a uint64_t / QUAD;
add some more BAR debugging logic.

* Change the definition of ath_debug and ath_softc.sc_debug from
int to uint64_t;
* Change the relevant sysctls;
* Add a new BAR TX debugging field;
* Use this in if_ath_tx.

This has been tested by using the sysctl program, which happily allows
for fields > 32 bits to be configured.


# 875a9451 06-Apr-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Remove duplicate txflags field from ath_buf.

rename bf_state.bfs_flags to bf_state.bfs_txflags, as that is what
it effectively is.


# 0b96ef63 19-Mar-2012 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Delay sequence number allocation for A-MPDU until just before the frame
is queued to the hardware.

Because multiple concurrent paths can execute ath_start(), multiple
concurrent paths can push frames into the software/hardware TX queue
and since preemption/interrupting can occur, there's the possibility
that a gap in time will occur between allocating the sequence number
and queuing it to the hardware.

Because of this, it's possible that a thread will have allocated a
sequence number and then be preempted by another thread doing the same.
If the second thread sneaks the frame into the BAW, the (earlier) sequence
number of the first frame will be now outside the BAW and will result
in the frame being constantly re-added to the tail of the queue.
There it will live until the sequence numbers cycle around again.

This also creates a hole in the RX BAW tracking which can also cause
issues.

This patch delays the sequence number allocation to occur only just before
the frame is going to be added to the BAW. I've been wanting to do this
anyway as part of a general code tidyup but I've not gotten around to it.
This fixes the PR.

However, it still makes it quite difficult to try and ensure in-order
queuing and dequeuing of frames. Since multiple copies of ath_start()
can be run at the same time (eg one TXing process thread, one TX completion
task/one RX task) the driver may end up having frames dequeued and pushed
into the hardware slightly/occasionally out of order.

And, to make matters more annoying, net80211 may have the same behaviour -
in the non-aggregation case, the TX code allocates sequence numbers
before it's thrown to the driver. I'll open another PR to investigate
this and potentially introduce some kind of final-pass TX serialisation
before frames are thrown to the hardware. It's also very likely worthwhile
adding some debugging code into ath(4) and net80211 to catch when/if this
does occur.

# 5bc8125a 28-Jan-2011 Adrian Chadd <adrian@FreeBSD.org>

Break out the debug macros from if_ath.c into if_ath_debug.[ch] .

This is prep work for breaking out the TX path into a separate
set of source files.
