powerpc/signal: Report minimum signal frame size to userspace via AT_MINSIGSTKSZ

Implement the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ AUXV entry, allowing userspace to
dynamically size stack allocations in a manner forward-compatible with
new processor state saved in the signal frame

For now these statically find the maximum signal frame size rather than
doing any runtime testing of features to minimise the size.

glibc 2.34 will take advantage of this, as will applications that use
use _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ.

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.

powerpc: Add new cache geometry aux vectors

This adds AUX vectors for the L1I,D, L2 and L3 cache levels
providing for each cache level the size of the cache in bytes
and the geometry (line size and number of ways).

We chose to not use the existing alpha/sh definition which
packs all the information in a single entry per cache level as
it is too restricted to represent some of the geometries used
on POWER.
