2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2017-01-18rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interfaceBjorn Andersson
This driver allows rpmsg instances to expose access to rpmsg endpoints to user space processes. It provides a control interface, allowing userspace to export endpoints and an endpoint interface for each exposed endpoint. The implementation is based on prior art by Texas Instrument, Google, PetaLogix and was derived from a FreeRTOS performance statistics driver written by Michal Simek. The control interface provides a "create endpoint" ioctl, which is fed a name, source and destination address. The three values are used to create the endpoint, in a backend-specific way, and a rpmsg endpoint device is created - with the three parameters are available in sysfs for udev usage. E.g. to create an endpoint device for one of the Qualcomm SMD channel related to DIAG one would issue: struct rpmsg_endpoint_info info = { "DIAG_CNTL", 0, 0 }; int fd = open("/dev/rpmsg_ctrl0", O_RDWR); ioctl(fd, RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL, &info); Each created endpoint device shows up as an individual character device in /dev, allowing permission to be controlled on a per-endpoint basis. The rpmsg endpoint will be created and destroyed following the opening and closing of the endpoint device, allowing rpmsg backends to open and close the physical channel, if supported by the wire protocol.
