Bump CONFIGVERS to 600018 for this support.
Some files may purposely have debug info disabled or are *source files*
that attempt to run ctfconvert on them. Currently ctfconvert ignores
these errors but I have a change to make the errors real so we can
catch real problems like exceeding type limits.

Recently added/changed lines in various kernel configs have caused some
buffer overflows that went undetected. These were detected with a config
built using -fno-common as these line buffers smashed one of our arrays,
then further triaged with ASAN.
Double the sizes; this is really not a great fix, but addresses the
immediate need until someone rewrites config. While here, add some bounds
checking so that we don't need to detect this by random bus errors or other
weird failures.

Move this handful of definitions into main.c, properly declare these as
extern in config.h. This fixes the config(8) build with -fno-common.
Unexplained in my previous commit to gas, -fno-common will become the
default in GCC10 and LLVM11, so it's worth addressing these in advance.

Give up the battle to keep extra files in $MACHINE/compile to keep the file in
the tree. Instead, create CDIR (usually ../compile) if it doesn't exist when
we're using a default build location (eg, not using -d). If it does, we do
nothing. This only affects people that do old-school builds, but it's bit me a
dozen times since last summer so time to fix the bug.
This change reflects the ability to change machine_arch in a config file. This
is useful for including one config in another and changing the machine_arch
in the second one.
Currently, you can have multiple machine directives if they are otherwise
identical. Relax this so that only the machinename part is the same. This allows
one to change the machine arch in a different config file you've included easily.
When local support was fixed, it introduced a minor bug in formatting. We don't
increment the lpos by enouogh, so lines are a little too long. Adjust to be
correct now with variable length srcprefix.
Inizialize global variables earlier in the process. It doesn't matter today, but
may in the future if we want to access these lists earlier in config's run.
mkheaders.c hasn't made headers in ~15 years. Belatedly update the comments to
reflect that all it does these days is warn about 'device foo' lines in the
config where we don't know what a 'foo' is.
Remove extra includes too. These also haven't been needed for 15 years and
weren't removed at the time the comment wasn't updated...
This is useful for arm (possibly other arches too) where we want to have
a GENERIC kernel that only include files for the different SoC. Since
multiple SoCs/Board needs the same device we would need to do either :
Include the device in a generic file
Include the device in each file that really needs it
Option 1 works but if someone wants to create a specific kernel config
(which isn't uncommon for embedded system), he will need to add a lots
of nodevice to it.
Option 2 also works but produce a lots of warnings.

Quick follow-up to r342362: options can appear multiple times now, so
clean up all of them as needed. For non-OPTIONS options, this has no effect
since they're already de-duplicated.

config(8)'s option handling has been written to allow duplicate options; if
the value changes, then the latest value is used and an informative message
is printed to stderr like so:
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/TEST: option "VERBOSE_SYSINIT" redefined from 0 to 1
Currently, this is only a possibility for cpu types, MAXUSERS, and
MACHINE_ARCH. Anything else duplicated in a config file will use the first
value set and error about duplicated options on subsequent appearances,
which is arguably unfriendly since one could specify:
include GENERIC
nooptions VERBOSE_SYSINIT
options VERBOSE_SYSINIT
to redefine the value later anyways.

For use with things like BOOT_TAG=\"\" -- there are valid reasons to allow

Plumb the %VERSREQ from Makefile.<arch> through to the rest of config(8).
We've recorded the config(8) version that we're calling "the end of
envmode and hintmode," and we'll write them out for earlier versions. Later
kernel version bumps will remove envmode/hintmode from the kernel as needed,
which is OK since the current kernel does not use them at all.
These compatibility shims really need to go away when the major version
rolls over...
Discussed with: imp
config-generated hints.c/env.c from r335998 and later are incompatible with
earlier kernels due to no longer setting envmode/hintmode. A minor bump for
this is insufficient, as matching major version with a later minor version
is still viewed as backwards-compatible.
This was an MI kernel change, soo all VERSREQ's are bumped.
This variable has been given the name "loader_env.disabled" as it's the
primary way most people will have an MD environment. This restores the
previously-default behavior of ignoring the loader(8) environment, which may
be useful for vendor distributions or other scenarios where inheriting the
loader environment may be considered a security issue or potentially
breaking of a more locked-down environment.
As the change to config(5) indicates, disabling the loader environment
should not be a choice made lightly since it may provide ACPI hints and
other useful things that the system can rely on to boot.
An UPDATING entry has been added to mention an upgrade path for those that
may have relied on the previous behavior.

r336019 introduced ${SRCTOP}/sys to the include paths in order to pull in a
new sys/{c,}nv.h. This is wrong, because the build tree's ABI isn't
guaranteed to match what's running on the host system.
Fix instead by removing -I${SRCTOP}/sys and installing the libnv headers
with `make -C lib/libnv includes`... this may or may not get re-worked in
the future so that a userland lib isn't installing includes from sys/.

r335653 flipped the order in which hints/env files are concatenated to match
the order in which vars are processed by the kernel. This is the other
hammer to drop.
Use nv(9) to de-dupe entries within a single `hint` or `env` file, using the
latest value specified for a key. This leaves some duplicates if a variable
is specified in multiple hint/env files or via `envvar` in a kernel config,
but the reversed order of concatenation (from r335653) makes this a
non-issue as the latest-specified version will be seen first.
This change also silently rewrote hint bits to use the same sanitization
process that ian@ wrote for r335642. To the kernel, hints and env vars are
basically the same thing through early boot, then get merged into the
dynamic environment once kmem becomes available and the dynamic environment
is created. They should be subjected to the same restrictions.
libnv has been added to -legacy for the time being to support the build of

At the moment, hintmode and envmode are used to indicate whether static
hints or static env have been provided in the kernel config(5) and the
static versions are mutually exclusive with loader(8)-provided environment.
hintmode *can* be reconfigured later to pull from the dynamic environment,
thus taking advantage of the loader(8) or post-kmem environment setting.
This changeset fixes both problems at once to move us from a semi-confusing
state to a consistent state: if an environment file, hints file, or
loader(8) environment are provided, we use them in a well-known order of
precedence:
- loader(8) environment
- static environment
- static hints file
Once the dynamic environment is setup this becomes a moot point. The
loader(8) and static environments are merged (respecting the above order of
precedence), and the static hints are merged in on an as-needed basis after
the dynamic environment has been setup.
Hints lookup are changed to respect all of the above. Before the dynamic
environment is setup, lookups use the above-mentioned order and fallback to
the next environment if a matching hint is not found. Once the dynamic
environment is setup, that is used on its own since it captures all of the
above information plus any dynamic kenv settings that came up later in boot.
The following tangentially related changes were made to res_find:
- A hintp cookie is now passed in so that related searches continue using
the chain of environments (or dynamic environment) without relying on
global state
- All three environments will be searched if they actually have valid hints
to use, rather than just choosing the first environment that actually had
a hint and rolling with that only
The hintmode sysctl has been ripped out. static_{env,hints}.disabled are
still honored and will disable their respective environments from being used
for hint lookups and from being merged into the dynamic environment, as
expected.

As previously noted, kernel's processing of these means that the first
appearance of a hint/variable wins. Flipping the order of concatenation
means that later variables override earlier variables, as expected when one
does:
hints x
hints y
Where perhaps x is:
hint.aw_sid.0.disable=1
and y is:
hint.aw_sid.0.disable=0
The expectation would be that a later appearing variable would override an
earlier appearing variable, such as with `device`/`nodevice`, device.hints,
and other similarly structured data files.
Previously, only one 'env' file could be specified. Later 'env' directives
would overwrite earlier 'env' directives. This is inconsistent with every
other file-accepting directives which process files in order, including
hints.
A caveat applies to both hints and env that isn't mentioned: they're
concatenated in the order of appearance, so they're not actually applied in
the way one might think by supplying:
hints x
hints y
Hints in x will take precedence over same-name hints in y due to how
the kernel processes them, stopping at the first line that matches the hint
we're searching for. Future work will flip the order of concatenation so
that later files may still properly override earlier files.
In practice, this likely doesn't matter at all due to the nature of the
beast.
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.
Usually 'local' is used along with other rules such as 'no-implicit-rule' or
'dependency' which avoids this problem. It's possible to need to use 'local'
while relying on the default rules though for a file which is not in the source
tree nor generated in the kernel.
