2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
license 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.

2015-10-12efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addressesMatt Fleming1-2/+3
The EFI Graphics Output Protocol uses 64-bit frame buffer addresses but these get truncated to 32-bit by the EFI boot stub when storing the address in the 'lfb_base' field of 'struct screen_info'. Add a 'ext_lfb_base' field for the upper 32-bits of the frame buffer address and set VIDEO_TYPE_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE when the field is useable. It turns out that the reason no one has required this support so far is that there's actually code in tianocore to "downgrade" PCI resources that have option ROMs and 64-bit BARS from 64-bit to 32-bit to cope with legacy option ROMs that can't handle 64-bit addresses. The upshot is that basically all GOP devices in the wild use a 32-bit frame buffer address. Still, it is possible to build firmware that uses a full 64-bit GOP frame buffer address. Chad did, which led to him reporting this issue. Add support in anticipation of GOP devices using 64-bit addresses more widely, and so that efifb works out of the box when that happens.
