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.

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.

# 6aba400a 25-Aug-2011 Attilio Rao <attilio@FreeBSD.org>

Fix a deficiency in the selinfo interface:
If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.

That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.

Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

# ace8398d 15-Dec-2007 Jeff Roberson <jeff@FreeBSD.org>

Refactor select to reduce contention and hide internal implementation
details from consumers.

- Track individual selecters on a per-descriptor basis such that there
are no longer collisions and after sleeping for events only those
descriptors which triggered events must be rescaned.
- Protect the selinfo (per descriptor) structure with a mtx pool mutex.
mtx pool mutexes were chosen to preserve api compatibility with
existing code which does nothing but bzero() to setup selinfo
structures.
- Use a per-thread wait channel rather than a global wait channel.
- Hide select implementation details in a seltd structure which is
opaque to the rest of the kernel.
- Provide a 'selsocket' interface for those kernel consumers who wish to
select on a socket when they have no fd so they no longer have to
be aware of select implementation details.

# ad3b9257 15-Aug-2004 John-Mark Gurney <jmg@FreeBSD.org>

Add locking to the kqueue subsystem. This also makes the kqueue subsystem
a more complete subsystem, and removes the knowlege of how things are
implemented from the drivers. Include locking around filter ops, so a
module like aio will know when not to be unloaded if there are outstanding
knotes using it's filter ops.

Currently, it uses the MTX_DUPOK even though it is not always safe to
aquire duplicate locks. Witness currently doesn't support the ability
to discover if a dup lock is ok (in some cases).

- Implement selwakeuppri() which allows raising the priority of a
thread being waken up. The thread waken up can run at a priority as
high as after tsleep().

- Replace selwakeup()s with selwakeuppri()s and pass appropriate
priorities.

- Add cv_broadcastpri() which raises the priority of the broadcast
threads. Used by selwakeuppri() if collision occurs.

# 85f190e4 13-Mar-2002 Alfred Perlstein <alfred@FreeBSD.org>

Fixes to make select/poll mpsafe.

Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.

Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.

Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one
doesn't actually use schedlock for syncronization, only to protect
against corruption.

Proc locks are no longer used in select/poll.

KSE Milestone 2
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the move.
For the moment, <sys/select.h> includes <sys/selinfo.h> to allow
clients time to catch up.

Changes made in preparation for SUSv2/POSIX <sys/select.h> requirements.
