UAPI headers licensed under GPL are supposed to have exception
"WITH Linux-syscall-note" so that they can be included into non-GPL
user space application code.
The exception note is missing in some UAPI headers.
Some of them slipped in by the treewide conversion commit b24413180f56
("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with
no license"). Just run:
$ git show --oneline b24413180f56 -- arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/
I believe they are not intentional, and should be fixed too.
This patch was generated by the following script:
git grep -l --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \
-- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild |
while read file
do
sed -i -e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/!{/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/!s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note/g}' $file
done
After this patch is applied, there are 5 UAPI headers that do not contain
"WITH Linux-syscall-note". They are kept untouched since this exception
applies only to GPL variants.

To transport the information required for secure boot a new IPL report
will be created at boot time. It will be written to memory right after
the IPL parameter block. To work with the IPL report a couple of
additional structure definitions are added the the uapi/ipl.h header.

The IPL parameter block is used as an interface between Linux and
the machine to query and change the boot device and boot options.
To be able to create IPL parameter block in user space and pass it
as segment to kexec provide an uapi header with proper structure
definitions for the block.
