For use with things like BOOT_TAG=\"\" -- there are valid reasons to allow
empty strings, especially as these are usually being passed through as
options. The same argument could perhaps be made for the unquoted
variant in things like MODULES_OVERRIDE="", but it's not immediately clear
that this is an issue so I've left it untouched.

envvar allows adding individual environment variables to the kernel's static
environment without the overhead of pulling in a full file. envvar in a
config looks like:
envvar some_var=5
All envvar-provided variables will be added after the env file is processed,
so envvar keys that exist in the previous env will be overwritten by
whatever value is set here in the kernel configuration directly.
As an aside, envvar lines are intentionally tokenized differently from
basically every other line. We used a named state when ENVVAR is encountered
to gobble up the rest of the line, which will later be cleaned and validated
in post-processing by sanitize_envline. This turns out to be the simplest
and cleanest way to allow the flexibility that kenv does while not
compromising on silly hacks.

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.

The impact of this bug is that you cannot build a kernel if both of the
following are true:
1) The kernel config file is in a non-default location
2) The kernel config file uses the "include" statement from config(5).
usr.sbin/config/main.c
usr.sbin/config/config.8
usr.sbin/config/config.h
usr.sbin/config/lang.l
Added a "-I path" option to config(8). By analogy to cc(1), it adds
an extra path in which the "include" statement will search for
files.
Makefile.inc1
Pass "-I ${KERNCONFDIR}" to config(8).

I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.

makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE=foo
makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE+=bar

Bump config minor version to 600007.
This change will let us to have full configuration of a running kernel
available in sysctl:
sysctl -b kern.conftxt
The same configuration is also contained within the kernel image. It can be
obtained with:
config -x <kernelfile>
Current functionality lets you to quickly recover kernel configuration, by
simply redirecting output from commands presented above and starting kernel
build procedure. "include" statements are also honored, which means options
and devices from included files are also included.
Please note that comments from configuration files are not preserved by
default. In order to preserve them, you can use -C flag for config(8). This
will bring configuration file and included files literally; however,
redirection to a file no longer works directly.

Bump configvers.h from 500013 to 600000.
Remove heuristics that tried to parse "device ed5" as 5 units of the ed
device. This broke things like the snd_emu10k1 device, which required
quotes to make it parse right. The no-longer-needed quotes have been
removed from NOTES, GENERIC etc. eg, I've removed the quotes from:
device snd_maestro
device "snd_maestro3"
device snd_mss
I believe everything will still compile and work after this.
Fixed memory leak in the "nodevice" option implementation.
Use these instead of sed(1) in MD NOTES.
Use a single makefile (sys/conf/makeLINT.mk) to generate
LINT for all architectures. (Previous versions missed
the LINT dependency on Makefile, and i386 version also
missed the dependency on ${NOTES}.)
Fixed bugs in the previous NOTES conversion using the
"nodevice" token and sed(1):
- i386 LINT lost "device pst".
- pc98 LINT lost SC_*, MAXCONS and KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOAD
options, and got needless DPT_* options.
- Added nooptions PPC_DEBUG, PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET, KBD_INSTALL_CDEV
to sparc64 LINT so that it has a chance to config(8).
This basically returns us to where we were before.
to be included into this one. This works the same way as #include
does in C; as far as the user is concerned, the included file is
inlined into the current one.
Since config(8) is no longer limited to working on one user-supplied
file, printing just a line number in an error message is not
sufficient. The new global variable yyfile represents the file
currently being parsed, and must be printed as well.

Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the

config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.

'makeoptions KERNEL=kernelname'. Warn about any trailing stuff as it's
not handled here. This is a simple bandaid, hopefully to head off some
complaints from certain people.
- make this work: options FOO123=456 *without quotes*
- grumble (but accept) vector xxxintr, and tty/net/bio/cam flags.
- complain if a device is specified twice (eg: 2 x psm0)
- don't require quotes around: port IO_COM2
- recognize negative numbers. (ie: options CAM_DEBUG_UNIT=-1)
- GC some more unused stuff (we don't have composite disks from config(8)).
- various other nits (snprintf paranoia etc)
I zapped the MACHINE_MIPS stuff, it isn't likely to be useful apart from
recognition of the machine name. It would be reasonable to expect new
ports would look something like the alpha/i386 from a config perspective.
non-standard and not used. "port auto" is equal to "port?" or missing "port"
keyword now. "port none" is really probe routine task (return -1 for
no ports).
