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.

2017-02-02unix: add ioctl to open a unix socket file with O_PATHAndrey Vagin1-0/+2
This ioctl opens a file to which a socket is bound and returns a file descriptor. The caller has to have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the socket network namespace. Currently it is impossible to get a path and a mount point for a socket file. socket_diag reports address, device ID and inode number for unix sockets. An address can contain a relative path or a file may be moved somewhere. And these properties say nothing about a mount namespace and a mount point of a socket file. With the introduced ioctl, we can get a path by reading /proc/self/fd/X and get mnt_id from /proc/self/fdinfo/X. In CRIU we are going to use this ioctl to dump and restore unix socket. Here is an example how it can be used: $ strace -e socket,bind,ioctl ./test /tmp/test_sock socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3 bind(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="test_sock"}, 11) = 0 ioctl(3, SIOCUNIXFILE, 0) = 4 ^Z $ ss -a | grep test_sock u_str LISTEN 0 1 test_sock 17798 * 0 $ ls -l /proc/760/fd/{3,4} lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 1 09:41 3 -> 'socket:[17798]' l--------- 1 root root 64 Feb 1 09:41 4 -> /tmp/test_sock $ cat /proc/760/fdinfo/4 pos: 0 flags: 012000000 mnt_id: 40 $ cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep "^40\s" 40 19 0:37 / /tmp rw shared:23 - tmpfs tmpfs rw Signed-off-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
