Userspace cannot compile <asm/msgbuf.h> due to some missing type
definitions. For example, building it for x86 fails as follows:
CC usr/include/asm/msgbuf.h.s
In file included from usr/include/asm/msgbuf.h:6:0,
from <command-line>:32:
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:25:20: error: field `msg_perm' has incomplete type
struct ipc64_perm msg_perm;
^~~~~~~~
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:27:2: error: unknown type name `__kernel_time_t'
__kernel_time_t msg_stime; /* last msgsnd time */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:28:2: error: unknown type name `__kernel_time_t'
__kernel_time_t msg_rtime; /* last msgrcv time */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:29:2: error: unknown type name `__kernel_time_t'
__kernel_time_t msg_ctime; /* last change time */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:41:2: error: unknown type name `__kernel_pid_t'
__kernel_pid_t msg_lspid; /* pid of last msgsnd */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
usr/include/asm-generic/msgbuf.h:42:2: error: unknown type name `__kernel_pid_t'
__kernel_pid_t msg_lrpid; /* last receive pid */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is just a matter of missing include directive.
Include <asm/ipcbuf.h> to make it self-contained, and add it to
the compile-test coverage.

There are two structures based on time_t that conflict between libc and
kernel: timeval and timespec. Both are now renamed to __kernel_old_timeval
and __kernel_old_timespec.
For time_t, the old typedef is still __kernel_time_t. There is nothing
wrong with that name, but it would be nice to not use that going forward
as this type is used almost only in deprecated interfaces because of
the y2038 overflow.
In the IPC headers (msgbuf.h, sembuf.h, shmbuf.h), __kernel_time_t is only
used for the 64-bit variants, which are not deprecated.
Change these to a plain 'long', which is the same type as __kernel_time_t
on all 64-bit architectures anyway, to reduce the number of users of the
old type.

sparc, uses a nonstandard variation of the generic sysvipc
data structures, intended to have the padding moved around
so it can deal with big-endian 32-bit user space that has
64-bit time_t.
Unlike most architectures, sparc actually succeeded in
defining this right for big-endian CPUs, but as everyone else
got it wrong, we just use the same hack everywhere.
This takes just take the same approach here that we have for
the asm-generic headers and adds separate 32-bit fields for the
upper halves of the timestamps, to let libc deal with the mess
in user space.

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.
