This fixes a compile problem of some user space applications by not
including linux/libc-compat.h in uapi/if_ether.h.

linux/libc-compat.h checks which "features" the header files, included
from the libc, provide to make the Linux kernel uapi header files only
provide no conflicting structures and enums. If a user application mixes
kernel headers and libc headers it could happen that linux/libc-compat.h
gets included too early where not all other libc headers are included
yet. Then the linux/libc-compat.h would not prevent all the
redefinitions and we run into compile problems.
This patch removes the include of linux/libc-compat.h from
uapi/if_ether.h to fix the recently introduced case, but not all as this
is more or less impossible.

It is no problem to do the check directly in the if_ether.h file and not
in libc-compat.h as this does not need any fancy glibc header detection
as glibc never provided struct ethhdr and should define
__UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR by them self when they will provide this.

The following test program did not compile correctly any more:

#include &lt;linux/if_ether.h&gt;
#include &lt;netinet/in.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/in.h&gt;

int main(void)
{
	return 0;
}

Musl provides its own ethhdr struct definition. Add a guard to prevent
its definition of the appropriate musl header has already been included.

glibc does not implement this header, but when glibc will implement this
they can just define __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR 0 to make it work with the
kernel.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license</title>
<updated>2017-11-02T10:20:11+00:00</updated>

<id>e2be04c7f9958dde770eeb8b30e829ca969b37bb</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>gre: introduce native tunnel support for ERSPAN</title>

<id>84e54fe0a5eaed696dee4019c396f8396f5a908b</id>
<content type='text'>
The patch adds ERSPAN type II tunnel support.  The implementation
is based on the draft at [1].  One of the purposes is for Linux
box to be able to receive ERSPAN monitoring traffic sent from
the Cisco switch, by creating a ERSPAN tunnel device.
In addition, the patch also adds ERSPAN TX, so Linux virtual
switch can redirect monitored traffic to the ERSPAN tunnel device.
The traffic will be encapsulated into ERSPAN and sent out.

The implementation reuses tunnel key as ERSPAN session ID, and
field 'erspan' as ERSPAN Index fields:
./ip link add dev ers11 type erspan seq key 100 erspan 123 \
			local 172.16.1.200 remote 172.16.1.100

To use the above device as ERSPAN receiver, configure
Nexus 5000 switch as below:

monitor session 100 type erspan-source
  erspan-id 123
  vrf default
  destination ip 172.16.1.200
  source interface Ethernet1/11 both
  source interface Ethernet1/12 both
  no shut
monitor erspan origin ip-address 172.16.1.100 global
