<content type='text'>
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.

Prepare for relocating kernel private state bits out of tty_port::flags
field; tty_port::flags field is not atomic and can become corrupted
by concurrent updates. It also suffers from the complication of sharing
in a userspace-visible field which must be masked.

Define new tty_port::iflags field and new, substitute bit definitions
for the former ASYNC_* flags.

When somebody calls TIOCSSERIAL ioctl with serial flags to set one of
* ASYNC_SESSION_LOCKOUT
* ASYNC_PGRP_LOCKOUT
* ASYNC_CALLOUT_NOHUP
* ASYNC_AUTOPROBE
nothing happens. We actually ignore the flags for over a decade at
least (I checked 2.6.0).

So start yelling at users who use those flags, that they shouldn't.

Note the serial_struct flags for which the kernel ignores and performs
no action. The flags cannot be removed since they form part of the

<title>tty,serial: Unify UPF_* and ASYNC_* flag definitions</title>

<id>904326ecac022ebaeb39cdfb206fd3b6551cdfca</id>
<content type='text'>
The userspace-defined ASYNC_* flags in include/uapi/linux/tty_flags.h
are the authoritative bit definitions for the serial_struct flags,
and thus for any derivative values or fields.

Although the serial core provides the TIOCSSERIAL and TIOCGSERIAL
ioctls to set and retrieve these flags from userspace, it defines these
bits independently, as UPF_* macros.

Define the UPF_* macros which are userspace-modifiable directly from
the ASYNC_* symbolic constants. Add compile-time test to ensure the
bits changeable by TIOCSSERIAL match the defined range in the uapi
header.

Add ASYNCB_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER to the uapi header since this bit is
programmable by userspace.
