Add mrsasutil(8) as alias to mfiutil(8)

mfiutil(8) in theory can work on devices attached to mrsas(4) but
mrsas(4) is missing the FreeBSD mfi(4) ioctl support. Once that
support is added to mrsas(4) then mrsasutil(8) can manage mrsas(4)
attached devices. So this commit depends on that. When mrsasutil(8)
is run it automatically opens /dev/mrsas0 instead of /dev/mfi0.
Add -D <device> and -t <type> flag to optionally specify mrsas or mfi to
work with the existing -u <unit>. Device is the device node with or
without /dev/

various: general 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.

No functional change intended.


# dee3e845 08-Apr-2013 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org>

Add support for getting and setting BBU properties related to battery
relearning. Specifically, add subcommands to mfiutil(8) which allow the
user to set the BBU and autolearn modes when the firmware supports it,
and add a subcommand which kicks off a battery relearn.

# 2e5df98a 02-Sep-2011 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Move the logic to parse volume cache commands out into a separate function
and use a loop so that multiple cache commands can be strung together on
the command line into a single update to the volume's properties.

# 8b22f43d 05-Apr-2011 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Add the ability to manage the state of write caching when the battery
back-up is missing or dead. The current state of this field is reported
in 'mfiutil cache <volume>' and can be adjusted via
'mfiutil cache <volume> bad-bbu-write-cache <enable|disable>'. This
setting should generally be disabled to avoid data loss.

- Save errno values before calling warn(3) so that errors are correctly
reported.
- Use powerof2() from <sys/param.h> rather than a copy and paste version.

# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

Merge mfiutil

Approved by: re


# 763fae79 13-Aug-2009 Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>

ntroduce mfiutil, a basic utility for managing LSI SAS-RAID & Dell PERC5/6
controllers. Controller, array, and drive status can be checked, basic
attributes can be changed, and arrays and spares can be created and deleted.
Controller firmware can also be flashed.

This does not replace MegaCLI, found in ports, as that is officially sanctioned
and supported by LSI and includes vastly more functionality. However, mfiutil
is open source and guaranteed to provide basic functionality, which can be
especially useful if you have a problem and can't get MegaCLI to work.
