linux/signal.h and asm/signal.h are currently excluded from the UAPI
compile-test because of the errors like follows:
HDRTEST usr/include/asm/signal.h
In file included from <command-line>:
./usr/include/asm/signal.h:103:9: error: unknown type name ‘size_t’
103 | size_t ss_size;
| ^~~~~~
The errors can be fixed by replacing size_t with __kernel_size_t.
Then, remove the no-header-test entries from user/include/Makefile.

Most architectures with the exception of alpha, mips, parisc and
sparc use the same values for these flags. Move their definitions into
asm-generic/signal-defs.h and allow the architectures with non-standard
values to override them. Also, document the non-standard flag values
in order to make it easier to add new generic flags in the future.
A consequence of this change is that on powerpc and x86, the constants'
values aside from SA_RESETHAND change signedness from unsigned
to signed. This is not expected to impact realistic use of these
constants. In particular the typical use of the constants where they
are or'ed together and assigned to sa_flags (or another int variable)
would not be affected.

I believe we can and *should* drop this parisc-specific typedef for
__sighandler_t when compiling a 64-bit kernel. The reasons:
1. We don't have a 64-bit userspace yet, so nothing (on userspace side)
can break.
2. Inside the Linux kernel, this is only used in kernel/signal.c, in
function kernel_sigaction() where the signal handler is compared against
SIG_IGN. SIG_IGN is defined as (__sighandler_t)1), so only the pointers
are compared.
3. Even when a 64-bit userspace gets added at some point, I think
__sighandler_t should be defined what it is: a function pointer struct.
I compiled kernel/signal.c with and without the patch, and the produced code
is identical in both cases.

Those flags are nowhere used in the Linux kernel and were added when we
still wanted to support HP-UX in a compat mode. Since we never will
support HP-UX, drop those flags.

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.

This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus
increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other
Linux architectures.
Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the
PA-RISC Linux port. Because of that we carried the various available signals
from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native
Linux signals. Although this was the right decision at that time, this
required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37)
RT signals.
Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming
importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded)
signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we
have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet.
Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded
values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche
architecture.
The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would
mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the
parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new
bugs beside the code duplication.
The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals
around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32. This is of course an ABI change, but testing
has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this
change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used
and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing
installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both)
without affecting the boot process and installed applications.
Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was
basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit
f5a408d53e already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK
to be equal to EAGAIN.
So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring
PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the
future.

The sa_restorer field in struct sigaction is obsolete and no longer in
the parisc implementation. However, the core code assumes the field is
present if SA_RESTORER is defined. So, the define needs to be removed.
