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

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.

signals/sigaltstack: Change SS_AUTODISARM to (1U << 31)

Using bit 4 divides the space of available bits strangely. Use bit
31 instead so that we have a better chance of keeping flag and mode
bits separate in the long run.

signals/sigaltstack: Implement SS_AUTODISARM flag

This patch implements the SS_AUTODISARM flag that can be OR-ed with
SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags.

When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering
the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack.
When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by
uc_stack.

When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with
swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt
the state of the switched-away sighandler.

To detect the support of this functionality, one can do:

err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM);
if (err && errno == EINVAL)
unsupported();

signals/sigaltstack: Prepare to add new SS_xxx flags

This patch adds SS_FLAG_BITS - the mask that splits sigaltstack
mode values and bit-flags. Since there is no bit-flags yet, the
mask is defined to 0. The flags are added by subsequent patches.
With every new flag, the mask should have the appropriate bit cleared.

This makes sure if some flag is tried on a kernel that doesn't
support it, the -EINVAL error will be returned, because such a
flag will be treated as an invalid mode rather than the bit-flag.

That way the existence of the particular features can be probed
at run-time.
