Revert "tools headers: Remove almost unused copy of uapi/stat.h, add few conditional defines"
This reverts commit a672af9139a843eb7a48fd7846bb6df8f81b5f86.
By now it is not used for building tools/perf, but Stephen Rothwell reported that when building on a O= directory that had been built with torvalds/master and this perf build command line:
$ make -C tools/perf -f Makefile.perf -s -O -j60 O=/home/sfr/next/perf NO_BPF_SKEL=1
If we then merge perf-tools-next, as he did for linux-next, then we end up with a build failure for libbpf:
PERF_VERSION = 6.9.rc3.g42c4635c8dee make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/home/sfr/next/next/tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h', needed by '/home/sfr/next/perf/libbpf/staticobjs/libbpf.o'. Stop. make[2]: *** [Makefile:157: /home/sfr/next/perf/libbpf/staticobjs/libbpf-in.o] Error 2 make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:892: /home/sfr/next/perf/libbpf/libbpf.a] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [Makefile.perf:264: sub-make] Error 2
This needs to be further investigated to figure out how to check if libbpf really needs something that is in that tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h file and if not to remove that file in a way that we don't break the build in any situation, to avoid requiring doing a 'make clean'.

Constants of the *_ALL type can be actively harmful due to the fact that developers will usually fail to consider the possible effects of future changes to the definition.
uapi: deprecate STATX_ALL
Constants of the *_ALL type can be actively harmful due to the fact that developers will usually fail to consider the possible effects of future changes to the definition.
Deprecate STATX_ALL in the uapi, while no damage has been done yet.
We could keep something like this around in the kernel, but there's actually no point, since all filesystems should be explicitly checking flags that they support and not rely on the VFS masking unknown ones out: a flag could be known to the VFS, yet not known to the filesystem.

tools/headers: Synchronize kernel ABI headers
After the SPDX license tags were added a number of tooling headers got out of sync with their kernel variants, generating lots of build warnings.
Sync them:
- tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h, tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h, tools/include/linux/hash.h:
Remove the SPDX tag where the kernel version does not have it.
- tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__fls.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/arch_hweight.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls64.h, tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctls.h, tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h, tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h, tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h:
Add the SPDX tag of the respective kernel header.
- tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h,
Change the tag to the kernel header version:
-/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */
Also sync other header details:
- include/uapi/sound/asound.h:
Fix pointless end of line whitespace noise the header grew in this cycle.
- tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:
Sync the code and add tools/include/asm/export.h with dummy wrappers to support building the kernel side code in a tooling header environment.
- tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:
Sync other details that don't impact tooling's use of the ABIs.

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.

tools/include: Sync kernel ABI headers with tooling headers
Sync (copy) the following v4.12 kernel headers to the tooling headers:
arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h: arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h: arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h: arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h: arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:
- 'struct kvm_sync_regs' got changed in an ABI-incompatible way, fortunately none of the (in-kernel) tooling relied on it
- new KVM_DEV calls added
arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h:
- 5-level paging hardware ABI detail added
arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h:
- new CPU feature added
arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/vmx.h:
- new VMX exit conditions
None of the changes requires fixes in the tooling source code.
This addresses the following warnings:
Warning: include/uapi/linux/stat.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/vmx.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel Warning: arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel
