fbdev: Replace fb_pgprotect() with pgprot_framebuffer()

Rename the fbdev mmap helper fb_pgprotect() to pgprot_framebuffer().
The helper sets VMA page-access flags for framebuffers in device I/O
memory.

Also clean up the helper's parameters and return value. Instead of
the VMA instance, pass the individial parameters separately: existing
page-access flags, the VMAs start and end addresses and the offset
in the underlying device memory rsp file. Return the new page-access
flags. These changes align pgprot_framebuffer() with other pgprot_()
functions.

v4:
* fix commit message (Christophe)
v3:
* rename fb_pgprotect() to pgprot_framebuffer() (Arnd)

fbdev: Rename fb_mem*() helpers

Update the names of the fb_mem*() helpers to be consistent with their
regular counterparts. Hence, fb_memset() now becomes fb_memset_io(),
fb_memcpy_fromfb() now becomes fb_memcpy_fromio() and fb_memcpy_tofb()
becomes fb_memcpy_toio(). No functional changes.

v6:
* update new file fb_io_fops.c

fbdev: Move framebuffer I/O helpers into <asm/fb.h>

Implement framebuffer I/O helpers, such as fb_read*() and fb_write*(),
in the architecture's <asm/fb.h> header file or the generic one.

The common case has been the use of regular I/O functions, such as
__raw_readb() or memset_io(). A few architectures used plain system-
memory reads and writes. Sparc used helpers for its SBus.

The architectures that used special cases provide the same code in
their __raw_*() I/O helpers. So the patch replaces this code with the
__raw_*() functions and moves it to <asm-generic/fb.h> for all
architectures.

v8:
* remove garbage after commit-message tags
v6:
* fix fb_readq()/fb_writeq() on 64-bit mips (kernel test robot)
v5:
* include <linux/io.h> in <asm-generic/fb>; fix s390 build
v4:
* ia64, loongarch, sparc64: add fb_mem*() to arch headers
to keep current semantics (Arnd)
v3:
* implement all architectures with generic helpers
* support reordering and native byte order (Geert, Arnd)

fbdev: Prepare generic architecture helpers

Generic implementations of fb_pgprotect() and fb_is_primary_device()
have been in the source code for a long time. Prepare the header file
to make use of them.

Improve the code by using an inline function for fb_pgprotect()
and by removing include statements. The default mode set by
fb_pgprotect() is now writecombine, which is what most platforms
want.

Symbols are protected by preprocessor guards. Architectures that
provide a symbol need to define a preprocessor token of the same
name and value. Otherwise the header file will provide a generic
implementation. This pattern has been taken from <asm/io.h>.

v3:
* include the correct header files
v2:
* use writecombine mappings by default (Arnd)

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

asm-generic: add generic versions of common headers

These are all kernel internal interfaces that get copied
around a lot. In most cases, architectures can provide
their own optimized versions, but these generic versions
can work as well.

I have tried to use the most common contents of each
header to allow existing architectures to migrate easily.

Thanks to Remis for suggesting a number of cleanups.
