Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

If the last section of a core file ends with an unmapped or zero page,
the size of the file does not correspond with the last dump_skip() call.
gdb complains that the file is truncated and can be confusing to users.After all of the vma sections are written, make sure that the file size
is no smaller than the current file position.This problem can be demonstrated with gdb's bigcore testcase on the
sparc architecture.Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp

Commit 5ab1c309b344 ("coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and
below, not merely signr") added siginfo_t to linux/coredump.h but forgot
to include asm/siginfo.h. This breaks the build for UML/i386. (And any
other arch where asm/siginfo.h is not magically preincluded...)In file included from arch/x86/um/elfcore.c:2:0: include/linux/coredump.h:15:25: error: unknown type name 'siginfo_t'

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
With this patch we pass "siginfo_t *siginfo" instead of "int signr" to
do_coredump() and put it into coredump_params. It will be used by the
next patch. Most changes are simple s/signr/siginfo->si_signo/.Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko

Create a new header file, fs/coredump.h, which contains functions only
used by the new coredump.c. It also moves do_coredump to the
include/linux/coredump.h header file, for consistency.Signed-off-by: Alex Kelly

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.Rather than add yet another include () to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.Reported-and-tested-by: Tony Luck

akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code). Just remove it.Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write
statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)Reported-by: akiphie

My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting
them into other newly created *.c files. Then, each files will contain
dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the
same. So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek().
Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files.Signed-off-by: Daisuke HATAYAMA
