atm: remove orphaned uAPI for deleted drivers, protocols and SVCs

2026-06-16T15:53:53+00:00

ATM removals have left a number of uAPI headers and ioctl definitions with no in-kernel implementation behind them: - device headers for adapters deleted with the legacy PCI/SBUS drivers: atm_eni.h, atm_he.h, atm_idt77105.h, atm_nicstar.h, atm_zatm.h and the atmtcp pair atm_tcp.h / - protocol headers for the removed CLIP, LANE and MPOA stacks: atmarp.h, atmclip.h, atmlec.h, atmmpc.h - atmsvc.h and the SVC / p2mp / local-address ioctls in atmdev.h (ATM_{GET,RST,ADD,DEL}ADDR, ATM_{ADD,DEL,GET}LECSADDR, ATM_{ADD,DROP}PARTY) left behind by the SVC and address-registry removals None of these are referenced by any remaining in-tree code. Let's try to delete all this. Chances are nobody cares about these headers any more. I'm keeping this separate from the kernel side code changes for ease of revert, in case I am proven wrong...

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

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.
