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.

# b7924341 27-Aug-2021 Andrew Turner <andrew@FreeBSD.org>

Create sys/reg.h for the common code previously in machine/reg.h

Move the common kernel function signatures from machine/reg.h to a new
sys/reg.h. This is in preperation for adding PT_GETREGSET to ptrace(2).

powerpc: clean up empty lines in .c and .h files


# 7029da5c 26-Feb-2020 Pawel Biernacki <kaktus@FreeBSD.org>

Mark more nodes as CTLFLAG_MPSAFE or CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT (17 of many)

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.

This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

powerpc: Sync icache on SIGILL, in case of cache issues

The update of jemalloc to 5.1.0 exposed a cache syncing issue on a Freescale
e500 base system. There was already code in the FPU emulator to address
this, but it was limited to a single static variable, and did not attempt to
sync the cache. This pulls that out to the higher level program exception
handler, and syncs the cache.

If a SIGILL is hit a second time at the same address, it will be treated as
a real illegal instruction, and handled accordingly.

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.

Un-static two local variables in the FPU emulator

Static variables aren't MP-safe, and this was causing bizarre segfaults on a
dual-core e500v2 system (P1022).

Still left is one static variable, which should be moved into the pcb instead,
but as illegal instructions haven't been hit yet, it's lower priority.

# aa59d767 04-Feb-2016 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Fix build of powerpc FPU emulator after changes in r295132 to restore the
ABI of struct fpreg. The FPU emulator operates on the "raw" FPU state
stored in the pcb rather than the "cooked" fpreg state used for ptrace()
and cores.

# 93312a91 01-Feb-2016 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Restore the ABI of 'struct fpreg' on powerpc.

The PT_{GET,SET}FPREGS requests use 'struct fpreg' and the NT_FPREGSET
core note stores a copy of 'struct fpreg'. As with x86 and the floating
point state there compared to the extended state in XSAVE, struct fpreg
on powerpc now only holds the 'base' FP state, and setting it via
PT_SETFPREGS leaves the extended vector state in a thread unchanged.

# 35f612b8 22-Feb-2015 Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org>

Kernel support for the Vector-Scalar eXtension (VSX) found on the POWER7
and POWER8. This instruction set unifies the 32 64-bit scalar floating
point registers with the 32 128-bit vector registers into a single bank
of 64 128-bit registers. Kernel support mostly amounts to saving and
restoring the wider version of the floating point registers and making
sure that both scalar FP and vector registers are enabled once a VSX
instruction is executed. get_mcontext() and friends currently cannot
see the high bits, which will require a little more work.

As the system compiler (GCC 4.2) does not support VSX, making use of this
from userland requires either newer GCC or clang.

# 7a22215c 30-Nov-2013 Eitan Adler <eadler@FreeBSD.org>

Fix undefined behavior: (1 << 31) is not defined as 1 is an int and this
shifts into the sign bit. Instead use (1U << 31) which gets the
expected result.

This fix is not ideal as it assumes a 32 bit int, but does fix the issue
for most cases.

A similar change was made in OpenBSD.

# b8201e1c 16-Nov-2013 Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org>

Make single precision floating point arithmetic actually work -- I think
it never did -- and fix an obvious missing line. Floating point emulation
on Book-E still needs some work but this gets it basically functional on
soft-FPU systems (hard FPU for Book-E is not yet implemented).

# 6472ac3d 07-Nov-2011 Ed Schouten <ed@FreeBSD.org>

Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

# 7e76048a 23-Feb-2008 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Add a floating-point emulator so that a single userland or single ABI
can run on processors that don't have a FPU. This is typically the
case for Book E processors. While a tuned system will probably want
to use soft-float (or use a processor that has a FPU if the usage is
FP intensive enough), allowing hard-float on FPU-less systems gives
great portability and flexibility.
