Relicensing tracepoints and markers to Dual LGPL v2.1/GPL v2,headers to Dual BSD/GPL

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi,

I would like to re-license the tracepoint.c/marker.c files from GPL to:

* Dual LGPL v2.1/GPL v2 license.

And re-license tracepoint.h/marker.h to:

* Dual BSD/GPL v2 license.

The goal is to allow sharing code between the kernel tracer and UST
(User-Space Tracer) project, which is a LGPL v2.1 library. Tracepoint
and marker headers might need to be included by proprietary or BSD
applications, hence the dual BSD/GPL v2 license for these two.

I currently have the OK from Kosaki Motohiro for Fujitsu contributions,
which includes Zhao Lei and Lai Jiangshan.

The missing approvals for Dual LGPL v2.1/GPL v2 relicensing are:

For tracepoint.c:

Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinderrajput@xxxxxxxxx>

For marker.c:

"Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Adrian Bunk <bunk@xxxxxxxxx>
Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@xxxxxxxxx>
Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx>

The missing approvals for Dual BSD/GPL relicensing are:

For tracepoint.h:

GeunSik Lim <leemgs1@xxxxxxxxx>
Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

For marker.h:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>
Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@xxxxxxxxx>

Note that the markers are now removed from the Linux kernel, but I still
use them temporarily in the LTTng tree (until we do the switch to
TRACE_EVENT). It's therefore also used by UST currently.

Note, you may also need to get permission from your corporation to allow
this.

Thanks,

Mathieu
