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.

mm/shmem: add hugetlbfs support to memfd_create() This patch came out of discussions in this e-mail thread: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499357846-7481-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz%40oracle.com The Oracle JVM team is developing a new garbage collection model. This new model requires multiple mappings of the same anonymous memory. One straight forward way to accomplish this is with memfd_create. They can use the returned fd to create multiple mappings of the same memory. The JVM today has an option to use (static hugetlb) huge pages. If this option is specified, they would like to use the same garbage collection model requiring multiple mappings to the same memory. Using hugetlbfs, it is possible to explicitly mount a filesystem and specify file paths in order to get an fd that can be used for multiple mappings. However, this introduces additional system admin work and coordination. Ideally they would like to get a hugetlbfs fd without requiring explicit mounting of a filesystem. Today, mmap and shmget can make use of hugetlbfs without explicitly mounting a filesystem. The patch adds this functionality to memfd_create. Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the file to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the generic hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point. As with other system calls that request hugetlbfs backed pages, there is the ability to encode huge page size in the flag arguments. hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL. Of course, the memfd_man page would need updating if this type of functionality moves forward.
