tty: remove broken r3964 line discipline

2021-05-13T14:57:15Z

Noone stepped up in the past two years since it was marked as BROKEN by commit c7084edc3f6d (tty: mark Siemens R3964 line discipline as BROKEN). Remove the line discipline for good. Three remarks: * we remove also the uapi header (as noone is able to use that interface anyway) * we do *not* remove the N_R3964 constant definition from tty.h, so it remains reserved. * in_interrupt() check is now removed from vt's con_put_char. Noone else calls tty_operations::put_char from interrupt context. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210505091928.22010-2-jslaby@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11Z

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.
