The arm_physmem interface found in arm's MD code provides a convenient
set of routines for adding/excluding physical memory regions and
initializing important kernel globals such as Maxmem, realmem,
phys_avail[], and dump_avail[]. It is especially convenient for FDT
systems, since we can use FDT parsing functions and pass the result
directly to one of these physmem routines. This interface is already in
use on arm and arm64, and can be used to simplify this early
initialization on RISC-V as well.
This requires only a couple trivial changes:
- Move arm_physmem_kernel_addr to arm/machdep.c. It is unused on arm64,
and manipulated entirely in arm MD code.
- Convert arm32_btop/arm64_btop to atop. This is equivalently defined
on all architectures.
- Drop the "arm" prefix.

r336773 removed all things xscale. However, some things xscale are
really armv5. Revert that entirely. A more modest removal will follow.
Noticed by: andrew@
The OLD XSCALE stuff hasn't been useful in a while. The original
committer (cognet@) was the only one that had boards for it. He's
blessed this removal. Newer XSCALE (GUMSTIX) is for hardware that's
quite old. After discussion on arm@, it was clear there was no support
for keeping it.

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.
These flags match the meaning and value of flags in Linux, though
Linux has many more flags.

Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for
RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3
invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call
has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the
QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done
against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed.
System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives
straight access to the HPET registers page.
Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated
to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device
to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and
libc invalidates its mapping as needed.
Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that
timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide
tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64
libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new
libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed
to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code.
Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster
than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four
times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge
machines.

clock_gettime(2) on ARMv7 and ARMv8 systems which have architectural
generic timer hardware. It is similar how the RDTSC timer is used in
userspace on x86.
Fix a permission problem where generic timer access from EL0 (or
userspace on v7) was not properly initialized on APs.
For ARMv7, mark the stack non-executable. The shared page is added for
all arms (including ARMv8 64bit), and the signal trampoline code is
moved to the page.

pre-VFPv3 processors, since they do require software support code to
handle denormals. For VFPv3 and later, enable flush-to-zero if
hardware does not claim full denormals arithmetic support by VMVFR1_FZ
field in mvfr1 register.
The end result is that we do use correct fpu environment on Cortexes
with VFPv3, while ARM11 (e.g. rpi) is in non-compliant flush-to-zero
mode. At least CPUs without complete hardware implementation of
IEEE 754 do not cause unhandled floating point exception on underflow,
as it was before r288492.

never actually ran on these chips (other than using SA1 support in an
emulator to do the early porting to FreeBSD long long ago). The clutter
and complexity of some of this code keeps getting in the way of other
maintenance, so it's time to go.

similarities to ARM Cortex-A15. As for development boards IFC6400 series embedded

Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
- Add a default parent dma tag, similar to what has been done for sparc64.
- Before invalidating the dcache in POSTREAD, save the bits which are in the
same cachelines than our buffers, but not part of it, and restore them after
the invalidation.
It only supports sa1110 (on simics) right now, but xscale support should come
soon.
Some of the initial work has been provided by :

Most of this comes from NetBSD.
