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.

driver: tun: Use new macro SOCK_IOC_TYPE instead of literal number 0x89

2016-10-31T14:56:47+00:00

The current codes use _IOC_TYPE(cmd) == 0x89 to check if the cmd is one
socket ioctl command like SIOCGIFHWADDR. But the literal number 0x89 may
confuse readers. So create one macro SOCK_IOC_TYPE to enhance the readability.

net: add an ioctl to get a socket network namespace

2016-10-31T14:56:36+00:00

Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created,
so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network
namespace.

We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't
report sockets which are not bound or connected.

This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS
and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace.

A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to
use this ioctl.

include/uapi/linux/sockios.h: mark SIOCRTMSG unused

2016-01-05T21:44:06+00:00

IOCTL SIOCRTMSG does nothing but return EINVAL.

So comment it as unused.

SIOCRTMSG is only used in:
* net/ipv4/af_inet.c
* include/uapi/linux/sockios.h

inet_ioctl calls ip_rt_ioctl.
ip_rt_ioctl only handles SIOCADDRT and SIOCDELRT and returns -EINVAL
otherwise.

net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl to match SIOCSHWTSTAMP

2013-11-19T19:07:21+00:00

SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.
Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged.
