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.

Commit a79ebea620 (MIPS: ptrace: Fix user pt_regs definition,
use in ptrace_{get, set}regs()) converted struct pt_regs to use __u64.
Some userspace applications (e.g. GDB) include this file directly,
and fail to see this type. Fix by including <linux/types.h>.
The patch fixes the following build failure with GDB 7.8 when using
GLIBC headers created against Linux 3.17:

In uapi/asm/ptrace.h, a user version of pt_regs is defined wrapped in
ifndef __KERNEL__. This structure definition does not match anything
used by any kernel API, in particular it does not match the format used
by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS.
Therefore, replace the structure definition with one matching what is
used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. The format used by these is the same for
both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Also, change the implementation of PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS to use this new
structure definition. The structure is renamed to user_pt_regs when
__KERNEL__ is defined to avoid conflicts with the kernel's own pt_regs.

The kernel's struct pt_regs has many fields conditional on various
Kconfig variables, we cannot be exporting this garbage to user-space.
Move the kernel's definition to asm/ptrace.h, and put a uapi only
version in uapi/asm/ptrace.h gated by #ifndef __KERNEL__

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.
