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.

Intel supports faulting on the CPUID instruction beginning with Ivy Bridge.
When enabled, the processor will fault on attempts to execute the CPUID
instruction with CPL>0. Exposing this feature to userspace will allow a
ptracer to trap and emulate the CPUID instruction.
When supported, this feature is controlled by toggling bit 0 of
MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES. It is documented in detail in Section 2.3.2 of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=243991
Implement a new pair of arch_prctls, available on both x86-32 and x86-64.
ARCH_GET_CPUID: Returns the current CPUID state, either 0 if CPUID faulting
is enabled (and thus the CPUID instruction is not available) or 1 if
CPUID faulting is not enabled.
ARCH_SET_CPUID: Set the CPUID state to the second argument. If
cpuid_enabled is 0 CPUID faulting will be activated, otherwise it will
be deactivated. Returns ENODEV if CPUID faulting is not supported on
this system.
The state of the CPUID faulting flag is propagated across forks, but reset
upon exec.

As userspace knows nothing about kernel config, thus #ifdefs
around ABI prctl constants makes them invisible to userspace.
Let it be clean'n'simple: remove #ifdefs.
If kernel has CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE disabled, sys_prctl()
will return -EINVAL for those prctls.

Add API to change vdso blob type with arch_prctl.
As this is usefull only by needs of CRIU, expose
this interface under CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
