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 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.

pointer instead of a proc pointer and require the process pointed to
by the second argument to be locked. We now use the thread ucred reference
for the credential checks in p_can*() as a result. p_canfoo() should now
no longer need Giant.
Until now, the ptrace syscall was implemented as a wrapper that called
various functions in procfs depending on which ptrace operation was
requested. Most of these functions were themselves wrappers around
procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs(), with only some extra error checks,
which weren't necessary in the ptrace case anyway.
This commit moves procfs_rwmem() from procfs_mem.c into sys_process.c
(renaming it to proc_rwmem() in the process), and implements ptrace()
directly in terms of procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs() instead of
having it fake up a struct uio and then call procfs_do{,db,fp}regs().
It also moves the prototypes for procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs()
and proc_rwmem() from proc.h to ptrace.h, and marks all procfs files
except procfs_machdep.c as "optional procfs" instead of "standard".
and so special-casing was introduced to provide extra procfs privilege
to the kmem group. With the advent of non-setgid kmem ps, this code
is no longer required, and in fact, can is potentially harmful as it
allocates privilege to a gid that is increasingly less meaningful.
Knowledge of specific gid's in kernel is also generally bad precedent,
as the kernel security policy doesn't distinguish gid's specifically,
only uid 0.
This commit removes reference to kmem in procfs, both in terms of
access control decisions, and the applying of gid kmem to the
/proc/*/mem file, simplifying the associated code considerably.
Processes are still permitted to access the mem file based on
the debugging policy, so ps -e still works fine for normal
processes and use.

The p_can(...) construct was a premature (and, it turns out,
awkward) abstraction. The individual calls to p_canxxx() better
reflect differences between the inter-process authorization checks,
such as differing checks based on the type of signal. This has
a side effect of improving code readability.
o Replace direct credential authorization checks in ktrace() with
invocation of p_candebug(), while maintaining the special case
check of KTR_ROOT. This allows ktrace() to "play more nicely"
with new mandatory access control schemes, as well as making its
authorization checks consistent with other "debugging class"
checks.
o Eliminate "privused" construct for p_can*() calls which allowed the
caller to determine if privilege was required for successful
evaluation of the access control check. This primitive is currently
unused, and as such, serves only to complicate the API.

int p_can(p1, p2, operation, privused)
which allows specification of subject process, object process,
inter-process operation, and an optional call-by-reference privused
flag, allowing the caller to determine if privilege was required
for the call to succeed. This allows jail, kern.ps_showallprocs and
regular credential-based interaction checks to occur in one block of
code. Possible operations are P_CAN_SEE, P_CAN_SCHED, P_CAN_KILL,
and P_CAN_DEBUG. p_can currently breaks out as a wrapper to a
series of static function checks in kern_prot, which should not
be invoked directly.
o Commented out capabilities entries are included for some checks.
o Update most inter-process authorization to make use of p_can() instead
of manual checks, PRISON_CHECK(), P_TRESPASS(), and
kern.ps_showallprocs.
o Modify suser{,_xxx} to use const arguments, as it no longer modifies
process flags due to the disabling of ASU.
o Modify some checks/errors in procfs so that ENOENT is returned instead
of ESRCH, further improving concealment of processes that should not
be visible to other processes. Also introduce new access checks to
improve hiding of processes for procfs_lookup(), procfs_getattr(),
procfs_readdir(). Correct a bug reported by bp concerning not
handling the CREATE case in procfs_lookup(). Remove volatile flag in
procfs that caused apparently spurious qualifier warnigns (approved by
bde).
o Add comment noting that ktrace() has not been updated, as its access
control checks are different from ptrace(), whereas they should
probably be the same. Further discussion should happen on this topic.

1) Start using TSM.
Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed.
Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack.
u_map is now superfluous.
2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either
in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference
counts.
3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense.
4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's.
5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++.
6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added
struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant
amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables
TSM for the zone managed memory.
7) Keep ioopt disabled for now.
8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept.
9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where
it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where
blocking might occur.
10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able
to make enough memory available (experimental.)
11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.)
12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp.

13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c
code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations,
and clean up the cluster code.
14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM.

to better coding style.
This is a really ugly bandaid on the problem, but it works well enough for
'ps -u' to start working again. The problem was caused by the user
address space shrinking by a little bit and the UPAGES being "cast off" to
become a seperate entity rather than being at the top of the process's
vmspace. That optimization was part of John's most recent VM speedups.
Now, rather than decoding the VM space, it merely ensures the pages are
in core and accesses them the same way the ptrace(PT_READ_U..) code does,
ie: off the p->p_addr pointer.
Implement a "variable" directory structure. Files that do not make
