Greg Kroah-Hartman 94bf2f28c9 s390: include: Remove redundant license text
Now that the SPDX tag is in all arch/s390/include/ files, that
identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the
extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

Greg Kroah-Hartman e2be04c7f9 License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   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".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

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.

David Howells fd2c32a95b s390,uapi: do not use uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h
It turns out that S390 shouldn't use uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h since it
defines the functions in its non-UAPI kvm_para.h file.

#including <asm-generic/kvm_para.h> will first pick up
include/asm-generic/kvm_para.h, which defines conflicting functions.

Instead, partially revert commit 0420c87e64,
ungenericising this file and just inserting a comment to prevent the patch
program from deleting it.

David Howells 0420c87e64 UAPI: Put a comment into uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h and use it from arches
Make uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h non-empty by addition of a comment to stop
the patch program from deleting it when it creates it.

Then delete empty arch-specific uapi/asm/kvm_para.h files and tell the Kbuild
files to use the generic instead.

Should this perhaps instead be a #warning or #error that the facility is
unsupported on this arch?
