      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      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.

      linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.h · d1515582
      Will Deacon 提交于
      linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
      uapi/linux/types.h -> uapi/linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h
      -> uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
      offsetof.
      
      Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
      smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
      for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
      users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
      such as:
      
         In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
                          from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
                          from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
         include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
      >> include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
           smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
           ^
      
      A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
      but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
      (e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
      used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.
      
      This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
      annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
      compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
      such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().
      
      uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
      linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.

      linkage.h: fix build breakage due to symbol prefix handling · 126de6b2
      James Hogan 提交于
      Al's commit e1b5bb6d ("consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS
      declarations") broke the build on blackfin and metag due to the
      following code:
      
        #ifndef SYMBOL_NAME
        #ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
        #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x
        #else
        #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x
        #endif
        #endif
        #define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x))
      
      __stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get
      lines like this in kernel/sys_ni.s:
      
        .weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl
        .set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall
      
      The patches in Rusty's modules-next tree such as "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX:
      cleanup." cleans up the whole mess around symbol prefixes, so this patch
      just attempts to fix the build in the meantime.
      
      The intermediate definition of SYMBOL_NAME above isn't used and is
      incorrect when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
      is a quoted string literal, so define __SYMBOL_NAME directly depending
      on CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.

      kbuild: Don't define ALIGN and ENTRY when preprocessing linker scripts. · 42f29a25
      Tim Abbott 提交于
      Adding a reference to <linux/linkage.h> to x86's <asm/cache.h> causes
      the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and
      ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those.
      One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any
      solution based on that approach would be fragile.
      
      Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something
      different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are
      clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for
      the two (ENTRY being an excellent example).
      So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor
      definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__
      for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in
      linker scripts.
      I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in
      the future.

      build: add __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss · a7bf0bd5
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Making a variable page-aligned by using
      __attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if
      sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves
      variables in the remainder of the section unaligned.
      
      This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and
      __page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of
      variables.  This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the
      linker will make sure they're aligned properly.  Unfortunately it
      requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...

      It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
      be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
      low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
      honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.
      
      I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
      to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
      prettier syntax that uses vararg macros).  Thus the previous two commits

      asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call · 54a01510
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
      clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
      is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
      optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
      stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
      Other optimizations can do it too.
      
      Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
      compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
      the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
      
      More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
      variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
      stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
      tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
      it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

      [PATCH] x86: error_code is not safe for kprobes · d28c4393
      Prasanna S.P 提交于
      This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
      since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
      that must be marked unsafe as well.
      This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
      for kprobes section.
      
      AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
      AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.
      
      +From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
      
      KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
      do a .previous at the end of the function.
      
      Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
      example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
      into .fixup.  Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
      the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup).  It's
      surprising this didn't cause more havok.
      
      The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
      properly.  A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
      .section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.
      
      +From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>
      
      Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
      entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
      The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
      point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
      section.
      
      Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
      sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

      [PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic · d0aaff97
      Prasanna S Panchamukhi 提交于
      There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
      kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes.  For example if you put probe
      on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
      routine such as do_fork().  Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
      register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
      get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
      gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever.  This
      patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
      within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.
      
      I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
      routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
      .kprobes.text.
      
      Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
      .kprobes.text section.
      
      These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also
      compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
