sys/sys: 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.

Constify the pointers to eventtimer and timecounter name strings. The need for this appears as soon as you try to set the names to something that isn't a "quoted literal". (I'm actually confused why quoted strings aren't a problem as well, we must have some warning disabled.)

MFcalloutng: Switch eventtimers(9) from using struct bintime to sbintime_t. Even before this not a single driver really supported full dynamic range of struct bintime even in theory, not speaking about practical inexpediency. This change legitimates the status quo and cleans up the code.

Refactor timer management code with priority to one-shot operation mode. The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed. This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle. There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to control wanted event timer subsystem behavior: kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use. On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs. kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is forced by user or hardware. kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1 if extra interrupts are unwanted. kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option has no effect - all interrupts are generating. As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions (if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly task-switching loads.

Extend timer driver API to report also minimal and maximal supported period lengths. Make MI wrapper code to validate periods in request. Make kernel clock management code to honor these hardware limitations while choosing hz, stathz and profhz values.

Implement new event timers infrastructure. It provides unified APIs for writing event timer drivers, for choosing best possible drivers by machine independent code and for operating them to supply kernel with hardclock(), statclock() and profclock() events in unified fashion on various hardware. Infrastructure provides support for both per-CPU (independent for every CPU core) and global timers in periodic and one-shot modes. MI management code at this moment uses only periodic mode, but one-shot mode use planned for later, as part of tickless kernel project. For this moment infrastructure used on i386 and amd64 architectures. Other archs are welcome to follow, while their current operation should not be affected. This patch updates existing drivers (i8254, RTC and LAPIC) for the new order, and adds event timers support into the HPET driver. These drivers have different capabilities: LAPIC - per-CPU timer, supports periodic and one-shot operation, may freeze in C3 state, calibrated on first use, so may be not exactly precise. HPET - depending on hardware can work as per-CPU or global, supports periodic and one-shot operation, usually provides several event timers. i8254 - global, limited to periodic mode, because same hardware used also as time counter. RTC - global, supports only periodic mode, set of frequencies in Hz limited by powers of 2. Depending on hardware capabilities, drivers preferred in following orders, either LAPIC, HPETs, i8254, RTC or HPETs, LAPIC, i8254, RTC. User may explicitly specify wanted timers via loader tunables or sysctls: kern.eventtimer.timer1 and kern.eventtimer.timer2. If requested driver is unavailable or unoperational, system will try to replace it. If no more timers available or "NONE" specified for second, system will operate using only one timer, multiplying it's frequency by few times and uing respective dividers to honor hz, stathz and profhz values, set during initial setup.
