tools: KVM: selftests: Convert clear/set_bit() to actual atomics

Convert {clear,set}_bit() to atomics as KVM's ucall implementation relies
on clear_bit() being atomic, they are defined in atomic.h, and the same
helpers in the kernel proper are atomic.

KVM's ucall infrastructure is the only user of clear_bit() in tools/, and
there are no true set_bit() users. tools/testing/nvdimm/ does make heavy
use of set_bit(), but that code builds into a kernel module of sorts, i.e.
pulls in all of the kernel's header and so is already getting the kernel's
atomic set_bit().

tools: Take @bit as an "unsigned long" in {clear,set}_bit() helpers

Take @bit as an unsigned long instead of a signed int in clear_bit() and
set_bit() so that they match the double-underscore versions, __clear_bit()
and __set_bit(). This will allow converting users that really don't want
atomic operations to the double-underscores without introducing a
functional change, which will in turn allow making {clear,set}_bit()
atomic (as advertised).

Practically speaking, this _should_ have no functional impact. KVM's
selftests usage is either hardcoded (Hyper-V tests) or is artificially
limited (arch_timer test and dirty_log test). In KVM, dirty_log test is
the only mildly interesting case as it's use indirectly restricted to
unsigned 32-bit values, but in theory it could generate a negative value
when cast to a signed int. But in that case, taking an "unsigned long"
is actually a bug fix.

Perf's usage is more difficult to audit, but any code that is affected
by the switch is likely already broken. perf_header__{set,clear}_feat()
and perf_file_header__read() effectively use only hardcoded enums with
small, positive values, atom_new() passes an unsigned long, but its value
is capped at 128 via NR_ATOM_PER_PAGE, etc...

The only real potential for breakage is in the perf flows that take a
"cpu", but it's unlikely perf is subtly relying on a negative index into
bitmaps, e.g. "cpu" can be "-1", but only as "not valid" placeholder.

Note, tools/testing/nvdimm/ makes heavy use of set_bit(), but that code
builds into a kernel module of sorts, i.e. pulls in all of the kernel's
header and so is getting the kernel's atomic set_bit(). The NVDIMM test
usage of atomics is likely unnecessary, e.g. ndtest_dimm_register() sets
bits in a local variable, but that's neither here nor there as far as
this change is concerned.

xarray: Add XArray marks

XArray marks are like the radix tree tags, only slightly more strongly
typed. They are renamed in order to distinguish them from tagged
pointers. This commit adds the basic get/set/clear operations.

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.

radix tree test suite: Remove duplicate bitops code

By adding __set_bit and __clear_bit to the tools include directory, we
can share the bitops code. This reveals an include loop between kernel.h,
log2.h, bitmap.h and bitops.h. Break it the same way as the kernel does;
by moving the kernel.h include from bitops.h to bitmap.h.

tools: Copy the bitsperlong.h files from the kernel

We use it in bitops/__ffs.h and bitops/atomic.h, that we also got from
the kernel, but were getting it from either newer systems that carry it
in /usr/include, or from the kernel sources, that we decided not to
touch from tools/ code. Fix it.
