* lib: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.Pedro F. Giffuni2017-11-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using mis-identified 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. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=326219
* - Add support for PMCs in Intel CPUs of Family 6, model 0xE (Core SoloJoseph Koshy2008-11-271-0/+37
and Core Duo), models 0xF (Core2), model 0x17 (Core2Extreme) and model 0x1C (Atom). In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural" events also needs to be queried at run time. Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs additionally support "fixed-function" counters. - Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in account that: - events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family can have differing names in vendor documentation, - identical vendor event names may map to differing events across CPUs, - each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable events. Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or "iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished. - In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code. - Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.
