This adds handling of MSG_ERRQUEUE input flag in receive call. This flag
is used to read socket's error queue instead of data queue. Possible
scenario of error queue usage is receiving completions for transmission
with MSG_ZEROCOPY flag. This patch also adds new defines: 'SOL_VSOCK'
and 'VSOCK_RECVERR'.

Reuse the timeval compat code from core/sock to handle 32-bit and
64-bit timeval structures. Also introduce a new socket option define
to allow using y2038 safe timeval under 32-bit.
The existing behavior of sock_set_timeout and vsock's timeout setter
differ when the time value is out of bounds. vsocks current behavior
is retained at the expense of not being able to share the full
implementation.
This allows the LTP test vsock01 to pass under 32-bit compat mode.
Fixes: fe0c72f3db11 ("socket: move compat timeout handling into sock.c")

Add VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST vsock flag that is used to setup a vsock
connection where all the packets are forwarded to the host.
Then, using this type of vsock channel, vsock communication between
sibling VMs can be built on top of it.
Changelog
v3 -> v4
* Update the "VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST" value, as the size of the field has
been updated to 1 byte.
v2 -> v3
* Update comments to mention when the flag is set in the connect and
listen paths.
v1 -> v2
* New patch in v2, it was split from the first patch in the series.
* Remove the default value for the vsock flags field.
* Update the naming for the vsock flag to "VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST".

vsock enables communication between virtual machines and the host they
are running on. With the multi transport support (guest->host and
host->guest), nested VMs can also use vsock channels for communication.
In addition to this, by default, all the vsock packets are forwarded to
the host, if no host->guest transport is loaded. This behavior can be
implicitly used for enabling vsock communication between sibling VMs.
Add a flags field in the vsock address data structure that can be used
to explicitly mark the vsock connection as being targeted for a certain
type of communication. This way, can distinguish between different use
cases such as nested VMs and sibling VMs.
This field can be set when initializing the vsock address variable used
for the connect() call.
Changelog
v3 -> v4
* Update the size of "svm_flags" field to be 1 byte instead of 2 bytes.
v2 -> v3
* Add "svm_flags" as a new field, not reusing "svm_reserved1".
v1 -> v2
* Update the field name to "svm_flags".
* Split the current patch in 2 patches.

The VMADDR_CID_RESERVED (1) was used by VMCI, but now it is not
used anymore, so we can reuse it for local communication
(loopback) adding the new well-know CID: VMADDR_CID_LOCAL.

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.

Split the vSockets header into kernel and UAPI parts. The former gets the bits
that used to be in __KERNEL__ guards, while the latter gets everything that is
user-visible. Tested by compiling vsock (+transport) and a simple user-mode
vSockets application.

VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.
Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.
The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.
For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:
