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.

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.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "Life has been busy and I have not gotten half as much done this round
  as I would have liked. I delayed it so that a minor conflict
  resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next
  before I sent this pull request.

  This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill
  Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that
  allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user
  namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar
  tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to
  generalize this and encode some of the namespace information
  information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the
  things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy
  more expensive.

  Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the
  magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal
  si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME
  me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the
  same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from
  complaining about unitialized variables.

  I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial
  copy to user. The code is available at:

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3

  But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed
  before the merge window opened.

  I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields
  that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy
  initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo. So
  we still sometimes copy unitialized data to userspace"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities
  mips/signal: In force_fcr31_sig return in the impossible case
  signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic
  fcntl: Don't use ambiguous SIG_POLL si_codes
  prctl: Allow local CAP_SYS_ADMIN changing exe_file
  security: Use user_namespace::level to avoid redundant iterations in cap_capable()
  userns,pidns: Verify the userns for new pid namespaces
  signal/testing: Don't look for __SI_FAULT in userspace
  signal/mips: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE
  signal/sparc: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE

<name>Rik van Riel</name>

<id>d2cd9ede6e193dd7d88b6d27399e96229a551b19</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork.  This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.

Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.

MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.

The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.

Examples of this would be:
 - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
   check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
 - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
 - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
 - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)

The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.

A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.

It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.

The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.

This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

A non-default huge page size can be encoded in the flags argument of the
mmap system call.  The definitions for these encodings are in arch
specific header files.  However, all architectures use the same values.

Consolidate all the definitions in the primary user header file
(uapi/linux/mman.h).  Include definitions for all known huge page sizes.
Use the generic encoding definitions in hugetlb_encode.h as the basis

A non-default huge page size can be encoded in the flags argument of the
mmap system call.  The definitions for these encodings are in arch
specific header files.  However, all architectures use the same values.

Consolidate all the definitions in the primary user header file
(uapi/linux/mman.h).  Include definitions for all known huge page sizes.
Use the generic encoding definitions in hugetlb_encode.h as the basis
for these definitions.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Support ipv6 checksum offload in sunvnet driver, from Shannon
    Nelson.

 2) Move to RB-tree instead of custom AVL code in inetpeer, from Eric
    Dumazet.

 3) Allow generic XDP to work on virtual devices, from John Fastabend.

 4) Add bpf device maps and XDP_REDIRECT, which can be used to build
    arbitrary switching frameworks using XDP. From John Fastabend.

 5) Remove UFO offloads from the tree, gave us little other than bugs.

 6) Remove the IPSEC flow cache, from Florian Westphal.

 7) Support ipv6 route offload in mlxsw driver.

 8) Support VF representors in bnxt_en, from Sathya Perla.

 9) Add support for forward error correction modes to ethtool, from
    Vidya Sagar Ravipati.

10) Add time filter for packet scheduler action dumping, from Jamal Hadi
    Salim.

11) Extend the zerocopy sendmsg() used by virtio and tap to regular
    sockets via MSG_ZEROCOPY. From Willem de Bruijn.

12) Significantly rework value tracking in the BPF verifier, from Edward
    Cree.

13) Add new jump instructions to eBPF, from Daniel Borkmann.

14) Rework rtnetlink plumbing so that operations can be run without
    taking the RTNL semaphore. From Florian Westphal.

15) Support XDP in tap driver, from Jason Wang.

16) Add 32-bit eBPF JIT for ARM, from Shubham Bansal.

17) Add Huawei hinic ethernet driver.

18) Allow to report MD5 keys in TCP inet_diag dumps, from Ivan
    Delalande.
