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.
Extend the Book-E pmap to support 64-bit operation. Much of this was taken from
Juniper's Junos FreeBSD port. It uses a 3-level page table (page directory
list -- PP2D, page directory, page table), but has gaps in the page directory
list where regions will repeat, due to the design of the PP2D hash (a 20-bit gap
between the two parts of the index). In practice this may not be a problem
given the expanded address space. However, an alternative to this would be to
use a 4-level page table, like Linux, and possibly reduce the available address
space; Linux appears to use a 46-bit address space. Alternatively, a cache of
page directory pointers could be used to keep the overall design as-is, but
remove the gaps in the address space.
This includes a new kernel config for 64-bit QorIQ SoCs, based on MPC85XX, with
the following notes:
* The DPAA driver has not yet been ported to 64-bit so is not included in the
kernel config.
* This has been tested on the AmigaOne X5000, using a MD_ROOT compiled in
(total size kernel+mdroot must be under 64MB).
* This can run both 32-bit and 64-bit processes, and has even been tested to run
a 32-bit init with 64-bit children.
Many thanks to stevek and marcel for getting Juniper's FreeBSD patches open
sourced to be used here, and to stevek for reviewing, and providing some
historical contexts on quirks of the code.

new, simplified, ELF ABI that avoids some of the stranger aspects of the
existing 64-bit PowerPC ABI (function descriptors, in particular). Actually
generating such executables requires a new version of binutils and a newer
compiler (either GCC or clang) than GCC 4.2.1.
It is automatically set when -fPIC is passed to the compiler.

Without this patch we were not able to see the assembly function.
Only the function descriptor was visible.
- Distinguish between user-land and kernel when creating the ENTRY() point of
assembly source.
- Make the ENTRY() macro more readable, replace the .align directive with the
gas platform independant .p2align directive.
- Create an END()macro for later use to provide traceback tables on powerpc64.
profiling and kernel profiling. To enable kernel profiling one has to build
kgmon(8). I will enable the build once I managed to build and test powerpc
(32-bit) kernels with profiling support.
- add a powerpc64 PROF_PROLOGUE for _mcount.
- add macros to avoid adding the PROF_PROLOGUE in certain assembly entries.
- apply these macros where needed.
- add size information to the MCOUNT function.

Kernel sources for 64-bit PowerPC, along with build-system changes to keep
32-bit kernels compiling (build system changes for 64-bit kernels are
coming later). Existing 32-bit PowerPC kernel configurations must be
updated after this change to specify their architecture.
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
