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.

Some GCC versions (e.g. 4.8.3) can incorrectly inline a function with
MIPS32 instructions into another function with MIPS16 code [1], causing
the assembler to genereate incorrect binary code or fail right away
complaining about unrecognized opcode.
In the case of __arch_swab{16,32}, when inlined by the compiler with
flags `-mips32r2 -mips16 -Os', the assembler can fail with the following
error.
{standard input}:79: Error: unrecognized opcode `wsbh $2,$2'
For performance concerns and to workaround the issue already existing in
older compilers, just ignore these 2 functions when compiling with
mips16 enabled.

This reverts commit e0d8b2ec53.
For at least GCC 4.8.3, adding nomips16 function attribute still cannot
prevent it from being inlined in mips16 context. So revert it first in
preparation for a better workaround.

The nomips16 has to be added both as function attribute and assembler
directive.
When only function attribute is specified, the compiler will inline the
function with -Os optimization. The generated assembly code cannot be
correctly assembled because ISA mode switch has to be done through jump
instruction.
When only ".set nomips16" directive is used, the generated assembly code
will use MIPS32 code for the inline assembly template and MIPS16 for the
function return. The compiled binary is invalid:
00403100 <__arch_swab16>:
403100: 7c0410a0 wsbh v0,a0
403104: e820ea31 swc2 $0,-5583(at)
while correct code should be:
00402650 <__arch_swab16>:
402650: 7c0410a0 wsbh v0,a0
402654: 03e00008 jr ra
