minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

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.

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.

# 31a53cd0 20-Feb-2013 Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org>

Convert machine/elf.h, machine/frame.h, machine/sigframe.h,
machine/signal.h and machine/ucontext.h into common x86 includes,
copying from amd64 and merging with i386.

Kernel-only compat definitions are kept in the i386/include/sigframe.h
and i386/include/signal.h, to reduce amd64 kernel namespace pollution.
The amd64 compat uses its own definitions so far.

The _MACHINE_ELF_WANT_32BIT definition is to allow the
sys/boot/userboot/userboot/elf32_freebsd.c to use i386 ELF definitions
on the amd64 compile host. The same hack could be usefully abused by
other code too.

# 2be05b70 15-Nov-2002 Daniel Eischen <deischen@FreeBSD.org>

Add getcontext, setcontext, and swapcontext as system calls.
Previously these were libc functions but were requested to
be made into system calls for atomicity and to coalesce what
might be two entrances into the kernel (signal mask setting
and floating point trap) into one.

A few style nits and comments from bde are also included.

# 23eeeff7 25-Oct-2002 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Split 4.x and 5.x signal handling so that we can keep 4.x signal
handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.

Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.

Tested on: i386, alpha, ia64. Compiled on sparc64 (a few days ago).

remove reliance on <sys/ucontext.h> being included.

While I'm here, also hide osigcontext types from userland; suggested

# 806d7daa 09-Nov-2000 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Make MINSIGSTKSZ machine dependent, and have the sigaltstack
syscall compare against a variable sv_minsigstksz in struct
sysentvec as to properly take the size of the machine- and
ABI dependent struct sigframe into account.

The SVR4 and iBCS2 modules continue to have a minsigstksz of
8192 to preserve behavior. The real values (if different) are
not known at this time. Other ABI modules use the real
values.

The native MINSIGSTKSZ is now defined as follows:

# c5c6b7b3 04-Oct-1999 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Re-introduction of sigcontext.

struct sigcontext and ucontext_t/mcontext_t are defined in such
a way that both (ie struct sigcontext and ucontext_t) can be
passed on to sigreturn. The signal handler is still given a
ucontext_t for maximum flexibility.

For backward compatibility sigreturn restores the state for the
alternate signal stack from sigcontext.sc_onstack and not from
ucontext_t.uc_stack. A good way to determine which value the
application has set and thus which value to use, is still open
for discussion.

NOTE: This change should only affect those binaries that use
sigcontext and/or ucontext_t. In the source tree itself
this is only doscmd. Recompilation is required for those
applications.

This commit also fixes a lot of style bugs without hopefully
adding new ones.

NOTE: struct sigaltstack.ss_size now has type size_t again. For
some reason I changed that into unsigned int.

# 91078fca 29-Sep-1999 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

sigset_t change (part 3 of 5)
-----------------------------

By introducing a new sigframe so that the signal handler operates
on the new siginfo_t and on ucontext_t instead of sigcontext, we
now need two version of sendsig and sigreturn.

A flag in struct proc determines whether the process expects an
old sigframe or a new sigframe. The signal trampoline handles
which sigreturn to call. It does this by testing for a magic
cookie in the frame.

The alpha uses osigreturn to implement longjmp. This means that
osigreturn is not only used for compatibility with existing
binaries. To handle the new sigset_t, setjmp saves it in
sc_reserved (see NOTE).

the struct sigframe has been moved from frame.h to sigframe.h
to handle the complex header dependencies that was caused by
the new sigframe.

NOTE: For the i386, the size of jmp_buf has been increased to hold
the new sigset_t. On the alpha this has been prevented by
using sc_reserved in sigcontext.

# 943c1801 27-Jun-1995 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Fix standards conformance bugs in <signal.h>:

include/signal.h:
There was massive namespace pollution from including <sys/types.h>.
POSIX functions were declared even when _ANSI_SOURCE is defined.

sys.sys/signal.h:
NSIG was declared even if _ANSI_SOURCE or _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
sig_atomic_t wasn't declared if _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
Declare a typedef for signal handling functions and use it to
unobfuscate declarations and to avoid half-baked function types
that cause unwanted compiler warnings at certain warning levels.
Fix confusing comment about SA_RESTART.

sys/i386/include/signal.h:
This has to be included to get the declaration of sig_atomic_t even
when _ANSI_SOURCE is defined, so be more careful about polluting
the ANSI namespace.

Uniformize idempotency ifdefs.
