This patch adds the capability to filter messages sent by the proc
connector on the event type supplied in the message from the client
to the connector. The client can register to listen for an event type
given in struct proc_input.
This event based filteting will greatly enhance performance - handling
8K exits takes about 70ms, whereas 8K-forks + 8K-exits takes about 150ms
& handling 8K-forks + 8K-exits + 8K-execs takes 200ms. There are currently
9 different types of events, and we need to listen to all of them. Also,
measuring the time using pidfds for monitoring 8K process exits took
much longer - 200ms, as compared to 70ms using only exit notifications of
proc connector.
We also add a new event type - PROC_EVENT_NONZERO_EXIT, which is
only sent by kernel to a listening application when any process exiting,
has a non-zero exit status. This will help the clients like Oracle DB,
where a monitoring process wants notfications for non-zero process exits
so it can cleanup after them.
This kind of a new event could also be useful to other applications like
Google's lmkd daemon, which needs a killed process's exit notification.
The patch takes care that existing clients using old mechanism of not
sending the event type work without any changes.
cn_filter function checks to see if the event type being notified via
proc connector matches the event type requested by client, before
sending(matches) or dropping(does not match) a packet.

The current proc connector code has the foll. bugs - if there are more
than one listeners for the proc connector messages, and one of them
deregisters for listening using PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE, they will still get
all proc connector messages, as long as there is another listener.
Another issue is if one client calls PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN, and another one
calls PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE, then both will end up not getting any messages.
This patch adds filtering and drops packet if client has sent
PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE. This data is stored in the client socket's
sk_user_data. In addition, we only increment or decrement
proc_event_num_listeners once per client. This fixes the above issues.
cn_release is the release function added for NETLINK_CONNECTOR. It uses
the newly added netlink_release function added to netlink_sock. It will
free sk_user_data.

The intention is to get notified of process failures as soon
as possible, before a possible core dumping (which could be very long)
(e.g. in some process-manager). Coredump and exit process events
are perfect for such use cases (see 2b5faa4c553f "connector: Added
coredumping event to the process connector").
The problem is that for now the process-manager cannot know the parent
of a dying process using connectors. This could be useful if the
process-manager should monitor for failures only children of certain
parents, so we could filter the coredump and exit events by parent
process and/or thread ID.
Add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit process connectors event
data.

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.

Process connector can now also detect coredumping events.
Main aim of patch is get notified at start of coredumping, instead of
having to wait for it to finish and then being notified through EXIT
event.
Could be used for instance by process-managers that want to get
notified as soon as possible about process failures, and not
necessarily beeing notified after coredump, which could be in the
order of minutes depending on size of coredump, piping and so on.
