a.out: restore CMAGIC Part of UAPI and the on-disk format: this means that it's not a magic number per magic-number.rst, and it's best to leave it untouched to avoid breaking userspace and suffer the same fate as a.out in general Fixes: 53c2bd679017 ("a.out: remove define-only CMAGIC, previously magic number") Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220926151554.7gxd6unp5727vw3c@tarta.nabijaczleweli.xyz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

a.out: remove define-only CMAGIC, previously magic number The last user was removed in 5.1 in commit 08300f4402ab ("a.out: remove core dumping support") but this is part of the UAPI headers, so this may want to either wait until a.out is removed entirely, or be removed from the magic number doc and silently remain in the header A cursory glance on DCS didn't show any user code actually using this value Found with grep MAGIC Documentation/process/magic-number.rst | while read -r mag _; do git grep -wF "$mag" | grep -ve '^Documentation.*magic-number.rst:' \ -qe ':#define '"$mag" || git grep -wF "$mag" | while IFS=: read -r f _; do sed -i '/\b'"$mag"'\b/d' "$f"; done ; done Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/9cbea062df7125ef43e2e0b2a67ede6ad1c5f27e.1663280877.git.nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyz Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

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.

uapi/linux/a.out.h: don't use deprecated system-specific predefines. uapi/linux/a.out.h uses a number of predefined macros that are deprecated because they're in the application namespace (e.g. '#ifdef linux' instead of '#ifdef __linux__'). This patch either corrects or just removes them if they are not applicable to Linux. The primary reason this is worth bothering to fix, considering how obsolete a.out binary support is, is that the GCC build process considers this such a severe error that it will copy the header into a private directory and change the macro names, which causes future updates to the header to be masked. This header probably doesn't get updated very often anymore, but it is the _only_ uapi header that gets this treatment, so IMHO it is worth patching just to drive that number all the way to zero.
