arc: convert to generic syscall table

The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.

arc has a couple of architecture specific system calls, which I add to the
generic table. This for some reason includes the deprecated sys_sysfs()
syscall that was presumably added by accident.

The time32, renameat, stat64 and rlimit entries in the syscall_abis_32
entry are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when arch/arc
got added but are no longer enabled by default for new architectures.

Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
(arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

KVM: export <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> iif KVM is supported

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of <linux/kvm_para.h>
and <asm/kvm_para.h>.

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

[1] Both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> are exported

alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

[2] <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported, but <linux/kvm_para.h> is not

arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

[3] Neither <linux/kvm_para.h> nor <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported

csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported <asm/kvm_para.h> to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

[A] export both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> for all
architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

[B] Match the header export of <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h>
to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures, <asm/kvm_para.h> was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

[1] Both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> are exported

This adds the asm/compat.h for all remaining architectures to
simplify the dependencies.

Architectures that are getting removed in linux-4.17 are not changed

architectures are broken by this patch, but we have already shown

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

kernel proper.

SMP barrier is provided by DMB instruction which also guarantees local
barrier hence used as backend of smp_*mb() as well as *mb() APIs

Also hookup barriers into MMIO accessors to avoid ordering issues in IO

net, lib: kill arch_fast_hash library bits

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.

This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

irq_work: Introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()

The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that
the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped.

Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to
tell about their support for this ability.
