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.

6f3b911d5f can: bcm: add support for CAN FD frames
The programming API of the CAN_BCM depends on struct can_frame which is
given as array directly behind the bcm_msg_head structure. To follow this
schema for the CAN FD frames a new flag 'CAN_FD_FRAME' in the bcm_msg_head
flags indicates that the concatenated CAN frame structures behind the
bcm_msg_head are defined as struct canfd_frame.

This patch adds the support to handle CAN and CAN FD frames on a per BCM-op
base. Main changes:

- generally use struct canfd_frames instead if struct can_frames
- use canfd_frame.flags instead of can_frame.can_dlc for private BCM flags
- make all CAN frame sizes depending on the new CAN_FD_FRAME flags
- separate between CAN and CAN FD when sending/receiving frames

Due to the dependence of the CAN_FD_FRAME flag the former binary interface
for classic CAN frames remains stable.

ba61a8d9d7 can: avoid using timeval for uapi
The can subsystem communicates with user space using a bcm_msg_head
header, which contains two timestamps. This is problematic for
multiple reasons:

a) The structure layout is currently incompatible between 64-bit
   user space and 32-bit user space, and cannot work in compat
   mode (other than x32).

b) The timeval structure layout will change in 32-bit user
   space when we fix the y2038 overflow problem by redefining
   time_t to 64-bit, making new 32-bit user space incompatible
   with the current kernel interface.
   Cars last a long time and often use old kernels, so the actual
   users of this code are the most likely ones to migrate to y2038
   safe user space.

This tries to work around part of the problem by changing the
publicly visible user interface in the header, but not the binary
interface. Fortunately, the values passed around in the structure
are relative times and do not actually suffer from the y2038
overflow, so 32-bit is enough here.

We replace the use of 'struct timeval' with a newly defined
'struct bcm_timeval' that uses the exact same binary layout
as before and that still suffers from problem a) but not problem
b).

The downside of this approach is that any user space program
that currently assigns a timeval structure to these members
rather than writing the tv_sec/tv_usec portions individually
will suffer a compile-time error when built with an updated
kernel header. Fixing this error makes it work fine with old
and new headers though.

We could address problem a) by using '__u32' or 'int' members
rather than 'long', but that would have a more significant
downside in also breaking support for all existing 64-bit user
binaries that might be using this interface, which is likely
not acceptable.

42193e3efb can: unify identifiers to ensure unique include processing
Armin pointed me to the fact that the identifier which is used to ensure the
unique include processing in lunux/include/uapi/linux/can.h is CAN_H.
This clashed with his own source as includes from libraries and APIs should
use an underscore '_' at the identifier start.

This patch fixes the protection identifiers in all CAN relavant includes.

2485602f1a can: add explicit copyrights to can headers
These files are copied to the source code of user space applications (in
this case can-utils) and so it makes sense to mention explicitly their
copyright. I added the terms of C code that was introduced in the same
commit as these headers.
