Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "The work on cleaning up and getting the bugs out of siginfo generation
  was largely stalled this round. The progress that was made was the
  definition of FPE_FLTUNK. Which is usable to fix many of the cases
  where siginfo generation is erroneously generating SI_USER by setting
  si_code to 0, that has recently been tagged as FPE_FIXME.

  You already have the change by way of the arm64 tree as that
  definition was pulled into the arm64 tree to allow fixing the problem
  there.

  What remains is the second round of fixing for what I thought was a
  trivial change to the struct siginfo when put the union in _sigfault
  where it belongs. Do to historical reasons 32bit m68k only ensures
  that pointers are 2 byte aligned. So I have added a m68k test case
  made of BUILD_BUG_ONs to verify I have this fix correct and possibly
  catch problems, and I have computed the number of bytes of padding
  needed for the _addr_bnd and _addr_pkey cases and just use an array of
  characters that size.

  For pure paranoia I have written the code so if there is an
  architecture out there that does not perform any alignment of
  structures it should still work.

  With the removal of all of the stale arechitectures this cycle future
  work on cleaning up struct siginfo should be much easier. Almost all
  of the conflicting si_code definitions have been removed with the
  removal of (blackfin, tile, and frv). Plus some of the most difficult
  to test cases have simply been removed from the tree.

  Which means that with a little luck copy_siginfo_to_user can become a
  light weight wrapper around copy_to_user in the next cycle"

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
 "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
  Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
  compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
  syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.

  At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
  v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
  better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
  there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
  which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
  means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
  specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
  filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
  time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
  x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
  future.

  Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
  data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
  generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
  code.

  This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
  kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
  three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
  kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

A change to the generic struct siginfo accidentally changed the offset
of si_offset.  Add build time checks to ensure the offsets of all known
fields in struct siginfo never change.  This copies the form of similar

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

The RTC core is always calling rtc_valid_tm after the read_time callback.
It is not necessary to call it just before returning from the callback.

<title>m68k: add missing SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT linker section</title>

Commit be7635e7287e ("arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries
into separate sections") added a new linker section, SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT,
to the linker scripts for most architectures. It didn't add it to any of
the linker scripts for the m68k architecture. This was not really a problem
because it is only defined if either of CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER or
CONFIG_KASAN are enabled - which can never be true for m68k.

However commit 229a71860547 ("irq: Make the irqentry text section
unconditional") means that SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT is now always defined. So on
m68k we now end up with a separate ELF section for .softirqentry.text
instead of it being part of the .text section. On some m68k targets in some
configurations this can also cause a fatal link error:

  LD      vmlinux
/usr/local/bin/../m68k-uclinux/bin/ld.real: section .softirqentry.text loaded at [0000000010de10c0,0000000010de12dd] overlaps section .rodata loaded at [0000000010de10c0,0000000010e0fd67]

To fix add in the missing SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT section into the m68k linker
scripts. I noticed that m68k is also missing the IRQENTRY_TEXT section,
so this patch also adds an entry for that too.

The M54[78]x ColdFire parts are not the only members of the ColdFire family
that have an MMU. But currently some of the early MMU initialization code
is inside the startup code specific to only the ColdFire M54[78]x parts.
Move that early ColdFire MMU init code so that it is run for other ColdFire
parts running with MMU enabled.

Specifically this means that the MMU initialization code will now also be
run for the ColdFire M5441x parts when running with MMU enabled.

The code move meant that the extern definition for the mmu_context_init()
function had to be moved as well. To make it clear that is ColdFire specific
I have renamed that with a "cf_" in front of it and put its extern definition
in the mcfmmu.h (which is already included by the setup code).

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
