      License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license · e2be04c7
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      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.

      Drivers: hv: Implement the file copy service · 01325476
      K. Y. Srinivasan 提交于
      Implement the file copy service for Linux guests on Hyper-V. This permits the
      host to copy a file (over VMBUS) into the guest. This facility is part of
      "guest integration services" supported on the Windows platform.
      Here is a link that provides additional details on this functionality:

      In V1 version of the patch I have addressed comments from
      Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> and Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
      
      In V2 version of this patch I did some minor cleanup (making some globals
      static). In V4 version of the patch I have addressed all of Olaf's
      most recent set of comments/concerns.
      
      In V5 version of the patch I had addressed Greg's most recent comments.
      I would like to thank Greg for suggesting that I use misc device; it has
      significantly simplified the code.
      
      In V6 version of the patch I have cleaned up error message based on Olaf's
      comments. I have also rebased the patch based on the current tip.
      
      In this version of the patch, I have addressed the latest comments from Greg.
