This is an import of the Google Summer of Code 2018 project completed by
Christian Kramer (and, sadly, ignored by us for two years now). The goals
stated for that project were:
FreeBSD already has support for interrupts implemented in the GPIO
controller drivers of several SoCs, but there are no interfaces to take
advantage of them out of user space yet. The goal of this work is to
implement such an interface by providing descriptors which integrate
with the common I/O system calls and multiplexing mechanisms.
The initial imported code supports the following functionality:
- A kernel driver that provides an interface to the user space; the
existing gpioc(4) driver was enhanced with this functionality.
- Implement support for the most common I/O system calls / multiplexing
mechanisms:
- read() Places the pin number on which the interrupt occurred in the
buffer. Blocking and non-blocking behaviour supported.
- poll()/select()
- kqueue()
- signal driven I/O. Posting SIGIO when the O_ASYNC was set.
- Many-to-many relationship between pins and file descriptors.
- A file descriptor can monitor several GPIO pins.
- A GPIO pin can be monitored by multiple file descriptors.
- Integration with gpioctl and libgpio.
I added some fixes (mostly to locking) and feature enhancements on top of
the original gsoc code. The feature ehancements allow the user to choose
between detailed and summary event reporting. Detailed reporting provides
a record describing each pin change event. Summary reporting provides the
time of the first and last change of each pin, and a count of how many times
it changed state since the last read(2) call. Another enhancement allows
the recording of multiple state change events on multiple pins between each
call to read(2) (the original code would track only a single event at a time).
The phabricator review for these changes timed out without approval, but I
cite it below anyway, because the review contains a series of diffs that
show how I evolved the code from its original state in Christian's github
repo for the gsoc project to what is being commited here. (In effect,
the phab review extends the VC history back to the original code.)

Repeating the default WARNS here makes it slightly more difficult to
experiment with default WARNS changes, e.g. if we did something absolutely
bananas and introduced a WARNS=7 and wanted to try lifting the default to
that.
Drop most of them; there is one in the blake2 kernel module, but I suspect
it should be dropped -- the default WARNS in the rest of the build doesn't
currently apply to kernel modules, and I haven't put too much thought into
whether it makes sense to make it so.
Save the last callout function pointer (and its argument) executed
on each CPU for inspection by a debugger. Add a ddb `show callout_last`
command to show these pointers. Add a kernel module that I used
for testing that command.
Relocate `ce_migration_cpu` to reduce padding and therefore preserve
the size of `struct callout_cpu` (320 bytes on amd64) despite the
added members.
This should help diagnose reference-after-free bugs where the
callout's mutex has already been freed when `softclock_call_cc`
tries to unlock it.
You might hope that the pointer would still be available, but it
isn't. The argument to that function is on the stack (because
`softclock_call_cc` uses it later), and that might be enough in
some cases, but even then, it's very laborious. A pointer to the
callout is saved right before these newly added fields, but that
callout might have been freed. We still have the pointer to its
associated mutex, and the name within might be enough, but it might
also have been freed.

r235274 added a sort regression test (it operates by comparing output
against GNU sort). The commit included a number of 0-byte files, one
of which ends in a trailing . which reportedly breaks svn/git checkouts
on Windows.
It appears these were added accidentally, so just remove them.

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.
