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.Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart

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

Some macros required by tools/perf/trace/beauty/mmap.c is not support
for all architectures. For example, MAP_32BIT is defined on x86 only,
alpha doesn't define MADV_HWPOISON and MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE.This patch regenerates mman.h for each arch, defines these missing
macros for perf. For missing MADV_*, fall back to asm-generic/mman-common
because they are in a 'case ...' statement. For flags, define it to 0.Following is the script to generate this patch:
macros=`cat $0 | awk 'V==1 {print}; /^# start macro list/ {V=1}'`
rm `find ./tools/arch/ -name mman.h`
for arch in `ls tools/arch`
do
[ -d tools/arch/$arch/include/uapi/asm ] || mkdir -p tools/arch/$arch/include/uapi/asm

guard="TOOLS_ARCH_"`echo $arch | awk '{print toupper($0)}'`_UAPI_ASM_MMAN_FIX_H

Some mmap related macros have different values for different
architectures. This patch introduces uapi mman.h for each
architectures.Three headers are cloned from kernel include to tools/include:
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h
tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.hThe main part of this patch is generated by following script:
macros=`cat $0 | awk 'V==1 {print}; /^# start macro list/ {V=1}'`
for arch in `ls tools/arch`
do
[ -d tools/arch/$arch/include/uapi/asm ] || mkdir -p tools/arch/$arch/include/uapi/asm

We will need it for atomic.h, so move it from the ad-hoc tools/perf/
place to a tools/ subset of the kernel arch/ hierarchy.Cc: Adrian Hunter
