UAPI headers licensed under GPL are supposed to have exception
"WITH Linux-syscall-note" so that they can be included into non-GPL
user space application code.
The exception note is missing in some UAPI headers.
Some of them slipped in by the treewide conversion commit b24413180f
("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with
no license"). Just run:
$ git show --oneline b24413180f -- arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/
I believe they are not intentional, and should be fixed too.
This patch was generated by the following script:
git grep -l --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \
-- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild |
while read file
do
sed -i -e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \
-e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/!{/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/!s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note/g}' $file
done
After this patch is applied, there are 5 UAPI headers that do not contain
"WITH Linux-syscall-note". They are kept untouched since this exception
applies only to GPL variants.
