License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: 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". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are 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. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

MIPS: Add definitions for extended context The context introduced by MSA needs to be saved around signals. However, we can't increase the size of struct sigcontext because that will change the offset of the signal mask in struct sigframe or struct ucontext. This patch instead places the new context immediately after the struct sigframe for traditional signals, or similarly after struct ucontext for RT signals. The layout of struct sigframe & struct ucontext is identical from their sigcontext fields onwards, so the offset from the sigcontext to the extended context will always be the same regardless of the type of signal. Userland will be able to search through the extended context by using the magic values to detect which types of context are present. Any unrecognised context can be skipped over using the size field of struct extcontext. Once the magic value END_EXTCONTEXT_MAGIC is seen it is known that there are no further extended context structures to examine. This approach is somewhat similar to that taken by ARM to save VFP & other context at the end of struct ucontext. Userland can determine whether extended context is present by checking for the USED_EXTCONTEXT bit in the sc_used_math field of struct sigcontext. Whilst this could potentially change the historic semantics of sc_used_math if further extended context which does not imply FP context were to be introduced in the future, I have been unable to find any userland code making use of sc_used_math at all. Using one of the fields described as unused in struct sigcontext was considered, but the kernel does not already write to those fields so there would be no guarantee of the field being clear on older kernels. Other alternatives would be to have userland check the kernel version, or to have a HWCAP bit indicating presence of extended context. However there is a desire to have the context & information required to decode it be self contained such that, for example, debuggers could decode the saved context easily.
