Since clone3() needs the full register state saved for copying into
the child, it needs the same kind of wrapper as fork(), vfork() and
clone(). Exact same wrapper works, actually...

On each context switch we save the FPU registers on stack
of old process and restore FPU registers from the stack of new one.
That allows us to avoid doing that each time we enter/leave the
kernel mode; however, that can get suboptimal in some cases.
For one thing, we don't need to bother saving anything
for kernel threads. For another, if between entering and leaving
the kernel a thread gives CPU up more than once, it will do
useless work, saving the same values every time, only to discard
the saved copy as soon as it returns from switch_to().
Alternative solution:
* move the array we save into from switch_stack to thread_info
* have a (thread-synchronous) flag set when we save them
* have another flag set when they should be restored on return to userland.
* do *NOT* save/restore them in do_switch_stack()/undo_switch_stack().
* restore on the exit to user mode if the restore flag had
been set. Clear both flags.
* on context switch, entry to fork/clone/vfork, before entry into do_signal()
and on entry into straced syscall save the registers and set the 'saved' flag
unless it had been already set.
* on context switch set the 'restore' flag as well.
* have copy_thread() set both flags for child, so the registers would be
restored once the child returns to userland.
* use the saved data in setup_sigcontext(); have restore_sigcontext() set both flags
and copy from sigframe to save area.
* teach ptrace to look for FPU registers in thread_info instead of
switch_stack.
* teach isolated accesses to FPU registers (rdfpcr, wrfpcr, etc.)
to check the 'saved' flag (under preempt_disable()) and work with the save area
if it's been set; if 'saved' flag is found upon write access, set 'restore' flag
as well.

For successful syscall that happens to return a negative, we want
a3 set to 0, no matter whether it's straced or not. As it is,
for straced case we leave the value it used to have on syscall
entry. Easily fixed, fortunately...

Once upon a time it used to have a C part that printed a warning
about unimplemented OSF syscalls. That's what it's been doing
all over the OSF syscall range, while the native Linux syscall
range uses sys_ni_syscall().
With those warnings about unimplemented OSF syscalls gone (circa 2.4),
alpha_ni_syscall() has shrunk to that little bit of asm and the
only reason it hasn't been replaced with sys_ni_syscall() everywhere
is that extra twist needed in case of syscall #0.
Let's keep it only for syscall #0 and replace the rest with sys_ni_syscall.
And use sys_ni_syscall for "number out range" in ptraced-call case, as
we'd been doing for normal codepath since 2.1.86...

It used to clear a3, so that signal handling on
return to userland would've passed zero r0 to do_work_pending(),
preventing the syscall restart logics from triggering.
It had been pointless all along, since we only go there
after successful do_execve(). Which does clear regs->r0 on alpha,
preventing the syscall restart logics just fine, no extra help
needed. Good thing, that, since back in 2012 do_work_pending()
has lost the second argument, shifting the registers used to pass
that thing from a3 to a2. Commit that had done that adjusted the
entry.S code accordingly, but missed that one.
As the result, we were left with useless insn in
ret_from_kernel_thread and confusing comment to go with it.
Get rid of both...

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

* no need to restore everything from switch_stack when we only need $26
* no need to pass current_pt_regs() manually, we can just as easily
calculate it in alpha_clone/alpha_vfork ($8 + constant)
* interpretation of zero usp as "use the parent's" is simpler in copy_thread();
let fork and vfork just pass 0.

Turn the slow side of work_pending into C function, including all
the looping. What we get out of that:
* we do _not_ call get_signal_to_deliver() with IRQs disabled
anymore
* no need to save/restore volatiles on each pass if there
turns to be more than one (unlikely, but still)
* all double-restart prevention is in C now.
* glue gets simpler.

In case we have both NEED_RESCHED and SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME,
handle the latter first. We'll get to original priorities in
the next commit, but now that allows to simplify the treatment
of NEED_RESCHED-only case nicely. Namely, now there no need to
preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in
$work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned
from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've
had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or
already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we
want no restarts anymore). So we can just slap 0 into $19
instead of preserving it (and $20).
