License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54Z

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.

tty: core: Undefine ASYNC_* flags superceded by TTY_PORT* flags

2016-04-30T16:26:55Z

Purposefully break out-of-tree driver compiles using kernel ASYNC_* bits which have been superceded by TTY_PORT* flags and their respective helper functions. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Define ASYNC_ replacement bits

2016-04-30T16:26:55Z

Prepare for relocating kernel private state bits out of tty_port::flags field; tty_port::flags field is not atomic and can become corrupted by concurrent updates. It also suffers from the complication of sharing in a userspace-visible field which must be masked. Define new tty_port::iflags field and new, substitute bit definitions for the former ASYNC_* flags.

tty: warn on deprecated serial flags

2014-11-06T23:01:03Z

When somebody calls TIOCSSERIAL ioctl with serial flags to set one of * ASYNC_SESSION_LOCKOUT * ASYNC_PGRP_LOCKOUT * ASYNC_CALLOUT_NOHUP * ASYNC_AUTOPROBE nothing happens. We actually ignore the flags for over a decade at least (I checked 2.6.0). So start yelling at users who use those flags, that they shouldn't.

tty: Document defunct ASYNC_SPLIT_TERMIOS flag in uapi header

2014-11-06T04:18:30Z

The last vestige of ASYNC_SPLIT_TERMIOS was removed by commit 'cris: Remove obsolete ASYNC_SPLIT_TERMIOS behavior'. Mark the flag as defunct in the uapi header. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Document defunct ASYNC_* bits in uapi header

2014-11-06T02:53:54Z

Note the serial_struct flags for which the kernel ignores and performs no action. The flags cannot be removed since they form part of the userspace interface via the TIOCSSERIAL/TIOCGSERIAL ioctls. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty,serial: Unify UPF_* and ASYNC_* flag definitions

2014-11-06T02:53:54Z

The userspace-defined ASYNC_* flags in include/uapi/linux/tty_flags.h are the authoritative bit definitions for the serial_struct flags, and thus for any derivative values or fields. Although the serial core provides the TIOCSSERIAL and TIOCGSERIAL ioctls to set and retrieve these flags from userspace, it defines these bits independently, as UPF_* macros. Define the UPF_* macros which are userspace-modifiable directly from the ASYNC_* symbolic constants. Add compile-time test to ensure the bits changeable by TIOCSSERIAL match the defined range in the uapi header. Add ASYNCB_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER to the uapi header since this bit is programmable by userspace. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
