c039dbd5f4 y2038: x86: Extend sysvipc data structures
This extends the x86 copy of the sysvipc data structures to deal with
32-bit user space that has 64-bit time_t and wants to see timestamps
beyond 2038.

Fortunately, x86 has padding for this purpose in all the data structures,
so we can just add extra fields. With msgid64_ds and shmid64_ds, the
data structure is identical to the asm-generic version, which we have
already extended.

For some reason however, the 64-bit version of semid64_ds ended up with
extra padding, so I'm implementing the same approach as the asm-generic
version here, by using separate fields for the upper and lower halves
of the two timestamps.

6f52b16c5b License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   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".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are 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.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

386916598e x86, uapi, x32: Use __kernel_ulong_t in x86 struct semid64_ds
Both x32 and x86-64 use the same struct semid64_ds for system calls.
But x32 long is 32-bit. This patch replaces unsigned long with
__kernel_ulong_t in x86 struct semid64_ds.
