2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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.

2017-10-24linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.hWill Deacon1-1/+1
linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via uapi/linux/types.h -> uapi/linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h -> uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of offsetof. Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats such as: In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0, from include/linux/stddef.h:4, from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11: include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty': >> include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \ ^ A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h, but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures (e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile. This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE(). uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.

2016-03-30uapi/linux/stddef.h: Provide __always_inline to userspace headersDenys Vlasenko1-0/+4
Josh Boyer reported that my recent change to uapi/linux/swab.h broke the Qemu build: bc27fb68aaad ("include/uapi/linux/byteorder, swab: force inlining of some byteswap operations") Unfortunately, UAPI headers don't include compiler.h so fixing it there is not enough, add an __always_inline definition to uapi/linux/stddef.h instead. Testcase: "make headers_install" and try to compile this: #include <linux/swab.h> void main() {} Reported-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1459289697-12875-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
