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.

Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline
very small functions we expect to be inlined. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122
With this .config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os,
the following functions get deinlined many times.
Examples of disassembly:
<get_unaligned_be16> (12 copies, 51 calls):
66 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%ax
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
86 e0 xchg %ah,%al
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
<get_unaligned_be32> (12 copies, 135 calls):
8b 07 mov (%rdi),%eax
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
0f c8 bswap %eax
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
<get_unaligned_be64> (2 copies, 20 calls):
48 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%rax
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
48 0f c8 bswap %rax
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
<__swab16p> (16 copies, 146 calls):
55 push %rbp
89 f8 mov %edi,%eax
86 e0 xchg %ah,%al
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
<__swab32p> (43 copies, ~560 calls):
55 push %rbp
89 f8 mov %edi,%eax
0f c8 bswap %eax
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
<__swab64p> (21 copies, 119 calls):
55 push %rbp
48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax
48 0f c8 bswap %rax
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
<__swab32s> (6 copies, 47 calls):
8b 07 mov (%rdi),%eax
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
0f c8 bswap %eax
89 07 mov %eax,(%rdi)
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.
