So, I took Great Weapon Fighting as my fighting style, allowing me to re-roll 1's and 2's on damage for my weapon. Does this extend to all damage done through the weapon (Eg smite, and smite spells), or just the weapon damage dice. using a maul for those curious.
If you use Great Weapon Fighting with a feature like Divine Smite or a spell like hex, do you get to reroll any 1 or 2 you roll for the extra damage?
The Great Weapon Fighting feature — which is shared by fighters and paladins — is meant to benefit only the damage roll of the weapon used with the feature. For example, if you use a greatsword with the feature, you can reroll any 1 or 2 you roll on the weapon’s 2d6. If you’re a paladin and use Divine Smite with the greatsword, Great Weapon Fighting doesn’t let you reroll a 1 or 2 that you roll for the damage of Divine Smite.
That said, the wording of the feature is so vague that in my experience most people expect it to apply to all dice, and in practice the difference is small either way. If you're a player I'd check how your DM handles it and if you're the DM I wouldn't bother splitting hairs over it.

It's intended to only apply to the weapon's damage roll. From Sage Advice Compendium:
