r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

This fix was committed less than 2 months after the code was forked into the
powerpc kernel. Though powerpc doesn't use quad-precision floating point,
or need it for emulation, the changes do look like correctness fixes
overall.
This was found while trying to get fsqrt emulation working on e5500, which
does have a real FPU, but lacks the fsqrt instruction. This is not the
complete fix, the rest is to be committed separately.

If fsqrts is emulated with +INF as its argument, the 0 return value causes a
NULL pointer dereference, panicking the system. Follow the PowerISA and
return +INF with no FP exception.

The update of jemalloc to 5.1.0 exposed a cache syncing issue on a Freescale
e500 base system. There was already code in the FPU emulator to address
this, but it was limited to a single static variable, and did not attempt to
sync the cache. This pulls that out to the higher level program exception
handler, and syncs the cache.
If a SIGILL is hit a second time at the same address, it will be treated as
a real illegal instruction, and handled accordingly.
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.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

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.

Static variables aren't MP-safe, and this was causing bizarre segfaults on a
dual-core e500v2 system (P1022).
Still left is one static variable, which should be moved into the pcb instead,
but as illegal instructions haven't been hit yet, it's lower priority.

ABI of struct fpreg. The FPU emulator operates on the "raw" FPU state
stored in the pcb rather than the "cooked" fpreg state used for ptrace()
and cores.
Reported by: bz
The PT_{GET,SET}FPREGS requests use 'struct fpreg' and the NT_FPREGSET
core note stores a copy of 'struct fpreg'. As with x86 and the floating
point state there compared to the extended state in XSAVE, struct fpreg
on powerpc now only holds the 'base' FP state, and setting it via
PT_SETFPREGS leaves the extended vector state in a thread unchanged.

and POWER8. This instruction set unifies the 32 64-bit scalar floating
point registers with the 32 128-bit vector registers into a single bank
of 64 128-bit registers. Kernel support mostly amounts to saving and
restoring the wider version of the floating point registers and making
sure that both scalar FP and vector registers are enabled once a VSX
instruction is executed. get_mcontext() and friends currently cannot
see the high bits, which will require a little more work.
As the system compiler (GCC 4.2) does not support VSX, making use of this
from userland requires either newer GCC or clang.

shifts into the sign bit. Instead use (1U << 31) which gets the
expected result.
This fix is not ideal as it assumes a 32 bit int, but does fix the issue
for most cases.
A similar change was made in OpenBSD.

it never did -- and fix an obvious missing line. Floating point emulation
on Book-E still needs some work but this gets it basically functional on
soft-FPU systems (hard FPU for Book-E is not yet implemented).

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of

reason why it shouldn't be static.
can run on processors that don't have a FPU. This is typically the
case for Book E processors. While a tuned system will probably want
to use soft-float (or use a processor that has a FPU if the usage is
FP intensive enough), allowing hard-float on FPU-less systems gives
great portability and flexibility.
