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.

nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return the namespace type Linux 4.9 added two ioctl() operations that can be used to discover: * the parental relationships for hierarchical namespaces (user and PID) [NS_GET_PARENT] * the user namespaces that owns a specified non-user-namespace [NS_GET_USERNS] For no good reason that I can glean, NS_GET_USERNS was made synonymous with NS_GET_PARENT for user namespaces. It might have been better if NS_GET_USERNS had returned an error if the supplied file descriptor referred to a user namespace, since it suggests that the caller may be confused. More particularly, if it had generated an error, then I wouldn't need the new ioctl() operation proposed here. (On the other hand, what I propose here may be more generally useful.) I would like to write code that discovers namespace relationships for the purpose of understanding the namespace setup on a running system. In particular, given a file descriptor (or pathname) for a namespace, N, I'd like to obtain the corresponding user namespace. Namespace N might be a user namespace (in which case my code would just use N) or a non-user namespace (in which case my code will use NS_GET_USERNS to get the user namespace associated with N). The problem is that there is no way to tell the difference by looking at the file descriptor (and if I try to use NS_GET_USERNS on an N that is a user namespace, I get the parent user namespace of N, which is not what I want). This patch therefore adds a new ioctl(), NS_GET_NSTYPE, which, given a file descriptor that refers to a user namespace, returns the namespace type (one of the CLONE_NEW* constants).
