Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

FreeBSD has used ELF binaries/libraries for decades, but still has some
support for legacy a.out binaries. Portions of this have been retired
over time, but support remained in ldd, ldconfig, and gprof.
Retire gprof support; if anyone needs to do development on a.out
binaries still they will be best served by installing a full FreeBSD 2.x
or other obsolete version in a jail.
Kernel support for executing a.out binaries is unchnaged.

* Remove identical or almost identical headers
* Only build aout.c on amd64 and i386. None of the the other current
architectures ever supported running a.out binaries
* Enable on all architectures

The ugly stick here is this bit in the respective headers:
#ifndef EXTERN
#define EXTERN extern
#endif
with a follow-up #define EXTERN in a single .c file to push all of their
definitions into one spot. A pass should be made over these three later to
push these definitions into the correct files instead, but this will suffice
for now and at a more leisurely pace.

Add a missing riscv.h header file, and fix the check for riscv (must test
MACHINE_CPUARCH, not MACHINE_ARCH, if we want to use 'riscv').

On arm64, riscv, and s390x disable building of aout components.
This allows gprof to build on these architectures which never supported
the legacy a.out binary format.

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.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

generated the gmon data. The support is currently limited to what is
easy to implement and/or needed:
signedess: signed or insigned
size: 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits
format: a binary integer in gprof's format (gprof is not a cross-tool).
High-resolution kernel profiling uses signed 64-bit counters. Normal
kernel profiling and user profiling use unsigned 16-bit counters but
should use 32-bit ones.
things when sizeof(UNIT) becomes a runtime parameter. The relevant 2
is the one in profil(2)'s scaling of pc's to bucket numbers:
bucket = (pc - offset) / 2 * profil_scale / 65536
gprof(1) must duplicate this scaling, bug for bug compatibly, so it
must first do an integer division by 2 although this mainly makes
scales larger than 65536 useless. sizeof(UNIT) was already wrong in
gprof4, but there were no problems because the fake profil scale is a
multiple of 2.
There are also some rounding bugs in the scaling, but these are only
problems if profil(2) is used directly to create unusual (and not
useful) scales.
from <number of machines> machine-dependent headers to the one
non-header here it is used so that it is easier to fix. This macro
just divides the machine-dependent offset OFFSET_OF_CODE by the
machine-independent scale factor sizeof(UNIT), as required for bug
for bug compatibility with the scaling of pc's in gprof.c. UNIT is
the type of a profiling counter, and its size has nothing to do with
the correct scale factor except both are usually 2.

the executable file, so it will work for both a.out and ELF format
files. I have split the object format specific code into separate
source files. It's cleaner than it was before, but it's still
pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
for the GPROF4 case. This allows a simpler method to be used for
non-statistical profiling (it allows overhead adjustments to be
subtracted from one counter without harm if that counter goes
negative; otherwise the adjustment would have to be distributed).
32 bit counters were already too small for GPROF4 with a 200MHz
clock. int64_t counters should be used.
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches. The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.
gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes. Does anyone
disagree?
gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header. This
hack will do until then. (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)
config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.
kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'. `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.
