License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11+00:00

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

ARC: Make pt_regs regs unsigned

2015-08-05T06:18:21+00:00

KGDB fails to build after f51e2f191112 ("ARC: make sure instruction_pointer()
returns unsigned value")

The hack to force one specific reg to unsigned backfired. There's no
reason to keep the regs signed after all.

ARC: stop using pt_regs->orig_r8

2013-06-22T13:53:26+00:00

Historically, pt_regs have had orig_r8, an overloaded container for
  (1) backup copy of r8 (syscall number Trap Exceptions)
  (2) additional system state: (syscall/Exception/Interrupt)

There is no point in keeping (1) since syscall number is never clobbered
in-place, in pt_regs, unlike r0 which duals as first syscall arg as well
as syscall return value and in case of syscall restart, the orig arg0
needs restoring (from orig_r0)  after having been updated in-place with
syscall ret value.

This further paves way to convert (2) to contain ECR itself (rather than
current madeup values)

ARC: pt_regs update #3: Remove unused gutter at start of callee_regs

2013-06-22T13:53:22+00:00

This is trickier than prev two:

* context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
  struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
  of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.

* Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
  stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.

ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
user_regs_struct.

ARC: UAPI Disintegrate arch/arc/include/asm

2013-02-15T17:46:11+00:00

1. ./genfilelist.pl arch/arc/include/asm/

2. Create arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild as follows

	+# UAPI Header export list
	+include include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

3. ./disintegrate-one.pl arch/arc/include/{,uapi/}asm/

4. Edit arch/arc/include/asm/Kbuild to remove ref to
	asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

- To work around empty uapi/asm/setup.h added a placholder comment.
- Also a manual #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ for a late ptrace change
