With the addition of ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type struct signalfd_siginfo
is dangerously close to running out of space. All that remains is just
enough space for two additional 64bit fields. A practice of adding all
possible siginfo_t fields into struct singalfd_siginfo can not be supported
as adding the missing fields ssi_lower, ssi_upper, and ssi_pkey would
require two 64bit fields and one 32bit fields. In practice the fields
ssi_perf_data and ssi_perf_type can never be used by signalfd as the signal
that generates them always delivers them synchronously to the thread that
triggers them.
Therefore until someone actually needs the fields ssi_perf_data and
ssi_perf_type in signalfd_siginfo remove them. This leaves a bit more room
for future expansion.

Introduces the TRAP_PERF si_code, and associated siginfo_t field
si_perf. These will be used by the perf event subsystem to send signals
(if requested) to the task where an event occurred.

I don't know why signalfd has never grown support for SIGSYS but grow it now.
This corrects an oversight and removes a need for a default in the
switch statement. Allowing gcc to warn when future members are added
to the enum siginfo_layout, and signalfd does not handle them.

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.
