This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
SMACK is the Simple Mandatory Access Control Kernel, a minimal
approach to Access Control implemented as a kernel LSM.
The kernel exposes the smackfs filesystem API through which access
rules can be loaded. At boot time, we want to load the access rules
as early as possible to ensure all early boot steps are checked by Smack.
This patch mounts smackfs at the new location at /sys/fs/smackfs for
kernels 3.8 and above. The /smack mountpoint is not supported.
After mounting smackfs, rules are loaded from the usual location.
