treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

mmc: fix compilation of user API

The definitions of MMC_IOC_CMD and of MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD rely on
MMC_BLOCK_MAJOR:

#define MMC_IOC_CMD _IOWR(MMC_BLOCK_MAJOR, 0, struct mmc_ioc_cmd)
#define MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD _IOWR(MMC_BLOCK_MAJOR, 1, struct mmc_ioc_multi_cmd)

However, MMC_BLOCK_MAJOR is defined in linux/major.h and
linux/mmc/ioctl.h did not include it.

uapi: revert flexible-array conversions

These structures can get embedded in other structures in user-space
and cause all sorts of warnings and problems. So, we better don't take
any chances and keep the zero-length arrays in place for now.

mmc: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

mmc: document 'Reliable Write' bit in uapi header

If we use it this way, people should know about it. Also, replace
true/false with nonzero/zero because the flag is not strictly a bool
anymore.

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.

mmc: block: Change MMC_IOC_MAX_BYTES

It is used for limitation of buffer size during IOCTL such as FFU.
However, eMMC FW size is bigger than (512L*256).
(For instance, currently, Samsung eMMC FW size is over 300KB.)
So, it needs to increase to execute FFU.

mmc: block: Add new ioctl to send multi commands

Certain eMMC devices allow vendor specific device information to be read
via a sequence of vendor commands. These vendor commands must be issued
in sequence and an atomic fashion. One way to support this would be to
add an ioctl function for sending a sequence of commands to the device
atomically as proposed here. These multi commands are simple array of
the existing mmc_ioc_cmd structure.

The structure passed via the ioctl uses a __u64 type to specify the number
of commands (so that the structure is aligned on a 64-bit boundary) and a
zero length array as a header for list of commands to be issued. The
maximum number of commands that can be sent is determined by
MMC_IOC_MAX_CMDS (which defaults to 255 and should be more than
sufficient).

This based upon work by Seshagiri Holi <sholi@nvidia.com>.
