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 defines an extra_context signal frame record that can be
used to describe an expanded signal frame, and modifies the context
block allocator and signal frame setup and parsing code to create,
populate, parse and decode this block as necessary.
To avoid abuse by userspace, parse_user_sigframe() attempts to
ensure that:
* no more than one extra_context is accepted;
* the extra context data is a sensible size, and properly placed
and aligned.
The extra_context data is required to start at the first 16-byte
aligned address immediately after the dummy terminator record
following extra_context in rt_sigframe.__reserved[] (as ensured
during signal delivery). This serves as a sanity-check that the
signal frame has not been moved or copied without taking the extra
data into account.

[will: add __force annotation when casting extra_datap to __user pointer]

This patch factors out the allocator for signal frame optional
records into a separate function, to ensure consistency and
facilitate later expansion.
No overrun checking is currently done, because the allocation is in
user memory and anyway the kernel never tries to allocate enough
space in the signal frame yet for an overrun to occur. This
behaviour will be refined in future patches.
The approach taken in this patch to allocation of the terminator
record is not very clean: this will also be replaced in subsequent
patches.
For future extension, a comment is added in sigcontext.h
documenting the current static allocations in __reserved[]. This
will be important for determining under what circumstances
userspace may or may not see an expanded signal frame.

This information is useful for instruction emulators to detect
read/write and access size without having to decode the faulting
instruction. The current patch exports it via sigcontext (struct
esr_context) and is only valid for SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.
