MDT_MODULE info is required to be ordered before any other MDT metadata for
a given kld because it serves as an implicit record boundary between
distinct klds for linker.hints consumers. kldxref(8) has previously relied
on the assumption that MDT_MODULE was ordered relative to other module
metadata in kld objects by source code ordering.
However, C does not require implementations to emit file scope objects in
any particular order, and it seems that GCC 6.4.0 and/or binutils 2.32 ld
may reorder emitted objects with respect to source code ordering.
So: just take two passes over a given .ko's module metadata, scanning for
the MDT_MODULE on the first pass and the other metadata on subsequent
passes. It's not super expensive and not exactly a performance-critical
piece of code. This ensures MDT_MODULE is always ordered before
MDT_PNP_INFO and other MDTs, regardless of compiler/linker movement. As a
fringe benefit, it removes the requirement that care be taken to always
order MODULE_PNP_INFO after DRIVER_MODULE in source code.

Parse the R_MIPS_32 and R_MIPS_64 relocations. Both Elf_Rel and
Elf_Rela relocations are handled since O32 MIPS uses Elf_Rel while N64
uses Elf_Rela. Note that R_MIPS_32 is only handled for 32-bit mips
and R_MIPS_64 for 64-bit. N32 is untested.

When using kldxref on kernel modules built with clang8 + lld8,
kldxref would be unable to find the modules metadata information,
because PowerPC64 was using the ef_nop.c implementation of
ef_reloc().
When GNU LD was used, it was also relocating the metadata section of
the .ko file. LLD does not do this, but only generate dynamic
relocations for it. With minor changes, ef_powerpc.c can now work
for PowerPC64 too.

The original spec for the strings describing the PNP info didn't allow
spaces. Several times now people have broken the install by including
them. Relax the syntax to allow them after the ; which is where
people's muscle memory tends to put them.

Normally, we can get away with just reading the 1k buffer for the
string, since the placement of the data is generally no where near the
end of the file. However, it's possible that the string is within the
last 1k of the file, in which case the read will fail, and we'll not
produce the proper records needed for devmatch to work. By reading
using EF_SEG_READ_STRING, we automatically work around these problems
while still retaining safety.
This fix a problem with devmatch where we wouldn't load certain
modules (like ums). This didn't always happen (my tree didn't exhibit
it, while nathan's did because his optimization options were more
agressive).

Attempting to retrieve an md_cval string from a kernel module with
kldxref would throw a offset error for modules created using lld, since
this value would be placed at the end of all allocated sections.
Add an ef_read_seg_string method to the ef interface, to allow reading
strings of varying size without attempting to read beyond the segment's
bounds.

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.
No functional change intended.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of

After r288176 kernel debug files have the extension .debug. They also
moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel by default so in the normal case
kldxref does not encounter them. A src.conf(5) setting may be used to
continue installing them in /boot/kernel though, so have kldxref skip
.debug files in addition to .symbols files.

Omit "too many sections" warnings if the ELF file is not dynamically
linked (and is therefore skipped anyway), and otherwise output it only
once. An errant core file would previously cause kldxref to output a

Also introduce a MAXSEGS #define and replace literal 2 with it, to make

Also, sort FTS_D entries after other entries so kldxref -R works properly in
the uncommon case that a directory contains both subdirectories and modules.
Previously, this may have happened to work, depending on the order of files
