The system call number is used in a a couple of places, in particular
ptrace, seccomp and /proc/<pid>/syscall.
The last one apparently never worked reliably on ARM for tasks that are
not currently getting traced.
Storing the syscall number in the normal entry path makes it work,
as well as allowing us to see if the current system call is for OABI
compat mode, which is the next thing I want to hook into.
Since the thread_info->syscall field is not just the number any more, it
is now renamed to abi_syscall. In kernels that enable both OABI and EABI,
the upper bits of this field encode 0x900000 (__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE)
for OABI tasks, while normal EABI tasks do not set the upper bits. This
makes it possible to implement the in_oabi_syscall() helper later.
All other users of thread_info->syscall go through the syscall_get_nr()
helper, which in turn filters out the ABI bits.
Note that the ABI information is lost with PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL, so one
cannot set the internal number to a particular version, but this was
already the case. We could change it to let gdb encode the ABI type along
with the syscall in a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT-enabled kernel, but that itself
would be a (backwards-compatible) ABI change, so I don't do it here.

Many architectures duplicate similar shell scripts.
This commit converts ARM to use scripts/syscallhdr.sh, and also
collects OABI/OEBI syscalls into unistd-eabi.h/unistd-oabi.h,
removing unistd-common.h.

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.

Convert ARM to use a similar mechanism to x86 to generate the unistd.h
system call numbers and the various kernel system call tables. This
means that rather than having to edit three places (asm/unistd.h for
the total number of system calls, uapi/asm/unistd.h for the system call
numbers, and arch/arm/kernel/calls.S for the call table) we have only
one place to edit, making the process much more simple.
The scripts have knowledge of the table padding requirements, so there's
no need to worry about __NR_syscalls not fitting within the immediate
constant field of ALU instructions anymore.

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).
In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
i.e.:
- a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
- a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
- a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.
Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
legacy binaries.
For these reasons, this patch:
- defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
model described above;
- defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().
Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
available on other architectures is straightforward.
Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.
