Based on discussion with Kate Stewart this license is not a
BSD-2-Clause, but is now formally identified as Linux-OpenIB
by SPDX.
The key difference between the licenses is in the 'warranty'
paragraph.
if_infiniband.h refers to the 'OpenIB.org' license, but
does not include the text, instead it links to an obsolete
web site that contains a license that matches the BSD-2-Clause
SPX. There is no 'three clause' version of the OpenIB.org
license.

Use macros to make names consistent in ioctl() uAPI:
The ioctl() uAPI works with object-method hierarchy. The method part
also states which handler should be executed when this method is called
from user-space. Therefore, we need to tie method, method's id, method's
handler and the object owning this method together.
Previously, this was done through explicit developer chosen names.
This makes grepping the code harder. Changing the method's name,
method's handler and object's name to be automatically generated based
on the ids.
The headers are split in a way so they be included and used by
user-space. One header strictly contains structures that are used
directly by user-space applications, where another header is used for
internal library (i.e. libibverbs) to form the ioctl() commands.
Other header simply contains the required general command structure.

This has no impact on the structure layout since these structs already
have their u64s already properly aligned, but it does document that we
have this requirement for 32 bit compatibility.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
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".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
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.

In this ioctl interface, processing the command starts from
properties of the command and fetching the appropriate user objects
before calling the handler.
Parsing and validation is done according to a specifier declared by
the driver's code. In the driver, all supported objects are declared.
These objects are separated to different object namepsaces. Dividing
objects to namespaces is done at initialization by using the higher
bits of the object ids. This initialization can mix objects declared
in different places to one parsing tree using in this ioctl interface.
For each object we list all supported methods. Similarly to objects,
methods are separated to method namespaces too. Namespacing is done
similarly to the objects case. This could be used in order to add
methods to an existing object.
Each method has a specific handler, which could be either a default
handler or a driver specific handler.
Along with the handler, a bunch of attributes are specified as well.
Similarly to objects and method, attributes are namespaced and hashed
by their ids at initialization too. All supported attributes are
subject to automatic fetching and validation. These attributes include
the command, response and the method's related objects' ids.
When these entities (objects, methods and attributes) are used, the
high bits of the entities ids are used in order to calculate the hash
bucket index. Then, these high bits are masked out in order to have a
zero based index. Since we use these high bits for both bucketing and
namespacing, we get a compact representation and O(1) array access.
This is mandatory for efficient dispatching.
Each attribute has a type (PTR_IN, PTR_OUT, IDR and FD) and a length.
Attributes could be validated through some attributes, like:
(*) Minimum size / Exact size
(*) Fops for FD
(*) Object type for IDR
If an IDR/fd attribute is specified, the kernel also states the object
type and the required access (NEW, WRITE, READ or DESTROY).
All uobject/fd management is done automatically by the infrastructure,
meaning - the infrastructure will fail concurrent commands that at
least one of them requires concurrent access (WRITE/DESTROY),
synchronize actions with device removals (dissociate context events)
and take care of reference counting (increase/decrease) for concurrent
actions invocation. The reference counts on the actual kernel objects
shall be handled by the handlers.

[d] = Hash ids to groups using the high order bits
The right types table is also chosen by using the high bits from
the ids. Currently we have either default or driver specific groups.
Once validation and object fetching (or creation) completed, we call
the handler:
int (*handler)(struct ib_device *ib_dev, struct ib_uverbs_file *ufile,
struct uverbs_attr_bundle *ctx);
ctx bundles attributes of different namespaces. Each element there
is an array of attributes which corresponds to one namespaces of
attributes. For example, in the usually used case:
ctx core

MAD and HFI1 have different naming convention, this patch
simplifies and unifies their defines and names.
As part of cleanup, the HFI1 _NUM() macro and command indexes
were removed (controversial). This will cause intentional (and
arguably unnecessary) breakage to the PSM user space library.
