d9c5252295 treewide: add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to SPDX tag of uapi headers
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.

  $ git grep --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \

2724273e8f vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel
The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device
specific hardware/firmware logs to /proc/vmcore are as follows:

1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers
register to the vmcore module (via vmcore_add_device_dump()), with
callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for
firmware/hardware log collection.

2. vmcore module allocates the buffer with requested size. It adds
an Elf note and invokes the device driver's registered callback
function.

3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer
and returns control back to vmcore module.

Ensure that the device dump buffer size is always aligned to page size
so that it can be mmaped.

Also, rename alloc_elfnotes_buf() to vmcore_alloc_buf() to make it more
generic and reserve NT_VMCOREDD note type to indicate vmcore device
dump.
