User space verbs provider library would need chip context. Changing the
ABI to add chip version details in structure. Furthermore, changing the
kernel driver ucontext allocation code to initialize the abi structure
with appropriate values.
As suggested by community, appended the new fields at the bottom of the
ABI structure and retaining to older fields as those were in the older
versions.
Keeping the ABI version at 1 and adding a new field in the ucontext
response structure to hold the component mask. The user space library
should check pre-defined flags to figure out if a certain feature is
supported on not.

The new auditing standard for the subsystem will be to only use
__aligned_64 in uapi headers to try and prevent 32/64 compat bugs
from existing in the future.
Changing all existing usage will help ensure new developers copy the
right idea.
The before/after of this patch was tested using pahole on 32 and 64
bit compiles to confirm it has no change in the structure layout, so
this patch is a NOP.

What is going on here is a bit subtle, in the kernel there is no
problem because the struct is copied using copy_from_user, so it
can safely have an 8 byte alignment, however in userspace it must
be constructed by concatenation with the ib_uverbs_alloc_pd_resp
struct. This is due to the required memory layout to execute the
command.
Since ibv_uverbs_alloc_pd_resp is only 4 bytes long, this causes
misalignment, and the user space will experience an unexpected padding.
Currently it works around this via pointer maths.
Make everything more robust by having the compiler reduce the alignment
of the struct to 4. The userspace has assertions to ensure this
works properly in all situations.

Shared receive queue (SRQ) is defined as a pool of
receive buffers shared among multiple QPs which belong
to same protection domain in a given process context.
Use of SRQ reduces the memory foot print of IB applications.
Broadcom adapters support SRQ, adding code-changes to enable
shared receive queue.

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.

This patch introduces the RoCE driver for the Broadcom
NetXtreme-E 10/25/40/50G RoCE HCAs.
The RoCE driver is a two part driver that relies on the parent
bnxt_en NIC driver to operate. The changes needed in the bnxt_en
driver have already been incorporated via Dave Miller's net tree
into the mainline kernel.
The vendor official git repository for this driver is available
on github as:
