perf trace: Fix iteration of syscall ids in syscalltbl->entries

This is a bug found when implementing pretty-printing for the
landlock_add_rule system call, I decided to send this patch separately
because this is a serious bug that should be fixed fast.

I wrote a test program to do landlock_add_rule syscall in a loop,
yet perf trace -e landlock_add_rule freezes, giving no output.

This bug is introduced by the false understanding of the variable "key"
below:
```
for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries; ++key) {
struct syscall *sc = trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key);
...
}
```
The code above seems right at the beginning, but when looking at
syscalltbl.c, I found these lines:

```
for (i = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i)
if (syscalltbl_native[i])
++nr_entries;

entries = tbl->syscalls.entries = malloc(sizeof(struct syscall) * nr_entries);
...

for (i = 0, j = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i) {
if (syscalltbl_native[i]) {
entries[j].name = syscalltbl_native[i];
entries[j].id = i;
++j;
}
}
```

meaning the key is merely an index to traverse the syscall table,
instead of the actual syscall id for this particular syscall.

So if one uses key to do trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key), because
key only goes up to trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries, for example, on
my X86_64 machine, this number is 373, it will end up neglecting all
the rest of the syscall, in my case, everything after `rseq`, because
the traversal will stop at 373, and `rseq` is the last syscall whose id
is lower than 373

in tools/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c:
```
...
[334] = "rseq",
[424] = "pidfd_send_signal",
...
```

The reason why the key is scrambled but perf trace works well is that
key is used in trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key) to do
trace->syscalls.table[id], this makes sure that the struct syscall returned
actually has an id the same value as key, making the later bpf_prog
matching all correct.

After fixing this bug, I can do perf trace on 38 more syscalls, and
because more syscalls are visible, we get 8 more syscalls that can be
augmented.

TL;DR:

These are the new syscalls that can be augmented
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "open_tree"

Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "fspick"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "faccessat2"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "fchmodat2"

as for the perf trace output:

before

perf $ perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
[no output]

after

perf $ ./perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
0.000 ( 0.037 ms): waybar/958 faccessat2(dfd: 40, filename: "uevent") = 0

P.S. The reason why this bug was not found in the past five years is
probably because it only happens to the newer syscalls whose id is
greater, for instance, faccessat2 of id 439, which not a lot of people
care about when using perf trace.

[Arnaldo]: notes

That and the fact that the BPF code was hidden before having to use -e,
that got changed kinda recently when we switched to using BPF skels for
augmenting syscalls in 'perf trace':

⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ git log --oneline tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/augmented_raw_syscalls.bpf.c

5e6da6be3082f77b (perf trace: Migrate BPF augmentation to use a skeleton, 2023-08-10)
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$

I.e. from August, 2023.

One had as well to ask for BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, which now is default if all
it needs is available on the system.

I simplified the code to not expose the 'struct syscall' outside of
tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c, instead providing a function to go from
the index to the syscall id:

int syscalltbl__id_at_idx(struct syscalltbl *tbl, int idx);

perf trace: Remove union from syscalltbl, all the fields are needed

When we moved to a syscalltbl generated from the kernel syscall tables
(arch/..../syscall*.tbl) the idea was to either use it, when having the
generator (e.g. tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh), or
falling back to the previous audit-libs based way of mapping syscall ids
to strings and the other way around.

At first we just needed the audit_detect_machine() return to then use it
to the str->id/id->str, or the other fields for the now used by default
in the most well developed arches method of using the syscall table
generator.

The problem is that then the libaudit code fell into disrepair, and
architectures where it is the method used are not working.

Now, with NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1 being possible to pass on the make command
line we can automate the testing of that method even on x86-64, arm64,
etc.

And doing it I noted that we actually use fields in both entries in the
union, oops, so ditch the union, as we need all those fields at the same
time.

perf trace: Preallocate the syscall table

We'll continue reading its details from tracefs as we need it, but
preallocate the whole thing otherwise we may realloc and end up with
pointers to the previous buffer.

I.e. in an upcoming algorithm we'll look for syscalls that have function
signatures that are similar to a given syscall to see if we can reuse
its BPF augmenter, so we may be at syscall 42, having a 'struct syscall'
pointing to that slot in trace->syscalls.table[] and try to read the
slot for an yet unread syscall, which would realloc that table to read
the info for syscall 43, say, which would trigger a realoc of
trace->syscalls.table[], and then the pointer we had for syscall 42
would be pointing to the previous block of memory. b00m.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

perf syscalltbl: Support glob matching on syscall names

With two new methods, one to find the first match, returning its syscall
id and its index in whatever internal database it keeps the syscall
into, then one to find the next match, if any.

Implemented only on arches where we actually read the syscall table from
the kernel sources, i.e. x86-64 for now, all the others use the libaudit
method for which this returns -1, i.e. just stubs were added, with the
actual implementation using whatever libaudit functions for matching
that may be available.

perf trace: Move syscall table id <-> name routines to separate class

We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name
translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer

"userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset.
