Merge tag 'spdx-5.2-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull SPDX update from Greg KH: "Here is a series of patches that add SPDX tags to different kernel files, based on two different things:
- SPDX entries are added to a bunch of files that we missed a year ago that do not have any license information at all.
These were either missed because the tool saw the MODULE_LICENSE() tag, or some EXPORT_SYMBOL tags, and got confused and thought the file had a real license, or the files have been added since the last big sweep, or they were Makefile/Kconfig files, which we didn't touch last time.
- Add GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later tags to files where our scan tools can determine the license text in the file itself. Where this happens, the license text is removed, in order to cut down on the 700+ different ways we have in the kernel today, in a quest to get rid of all of these.
These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on the patches are reviewers.
The reason for these "large" patches is if we were to continue to progress at the current rate of change in the kernel, adding license tags to individual files in different subsystems, we would be finished in about 10 years at the earliest.
There will be more series of these types of patches coming over the next few weeks as the tools and reviewers crunch through the more "odd" variants of how to say "GPLv2" that developers have come up with over the years, combined with other fun oddities (GPL + a BSD disclaimer?) that are being unearthed, with the goal for the whole kernel to be cleaned up.
These diffstats are not small, 3840 files are touched, over 10k lines removed in just 24 patches"

Backmerge fixes since it's getting out of hand again with the massive split due to atomic between -next and 4.2-rc. All the bugfixes in 4.2-rc are addressed already (by converting more towards atomic instead of minimal duct-tape) so just always pick the version in next for the conflicts in modeset code.
All the other conflicts are just adjacent lines changed.

==================== Cleanup the kernel sockets.
Right now the situtation for allocating kernel sockets is a mess. - sock_create_kern does not take a namespace parameter. - kernel sockets must not reference count a network namespace and keep it alive or else we will have a reference counting loop. - The way we avoid the reference counting loop with sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel are major hacks.
This patchset addresses this mess by fixing sock_create_kern to do everything necessary to create a kernel socket. None of the current users of kernel sockets need the network namespace reference counted. Either kernel sockets are network namespace aware (and using the current hacks) or kernel sockets are limited to the initial network namespace in which case it does not matter.
This patchset starts by addressing tun which should be using normal userspace sockets like macvtap.
Then sock_create_kern is fixed to take a network namespace. Then the in kernel status of sockets are passed through to sk_alloc. Then sk_alloc is fixed to not reference count the network namespace of kernel sockets. Then the callers of sock_create_kern are fixed up to stop using hacks. Then netlink which uses it's own flavor of sock_create_kern is fixed.
Finally the hacks that are sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel are removed.
When it is all done the code is easier to follow, easier to use, easier to maintain and shorter by about 70 lines. ====================
