      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.

      net: check dev->addr_len for dev_set_mac_address() · 0254e0c6
      WANG Cong 提交于
      Historically, dev_ifsioc() uses struct sockaddr as mac
      address definition, this is why dev_set_mac_address()
      accepts a struct sockaddr pointer as input but now we
      have various types of mac addresse whose lengths
      are up to MAX_ADDR_LEN, longer than struct sockaddr,
      and saved in dev->addr_len.
      
      It is too late to fix dev_ifsioc() due to API
      compatibility, so just reject those larger than
      sizeof(struct sockaddr), otherwise we would read
      and use some random bytes from kernel stack.
      
      Fortunately, only a few IPv6 tunnel devices have addr_len
      larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr) and they don't support
      ndo_set_mac_addr(). But with team driver, in lb mode, they
      can still be enslaved to a team master and make its mac addr
      length as the same.

      dev_ioctl: remove dev_load() CAP_SYS_MODULE message · e020836d
      Daniel Borkmann 提交于
      Marcel reported to see the following message when autoloading
      is being triggered when adding nlmon device:
      
        Loading kernel module for a network device with
        CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias
        netdev-nlmon instead.
      
      This false-positive happens despite with having correct
      capabilities set, e.g. through issuing `ip link del dev nlmon`
      more than once on a valid device with name nlmon, but Marcel
      has also seen it on creation time when no nlmon module is
      previously compiled-in or loaded as module and the device
      name equals a link type name (e.g. nlmon, vxlan, team).
      
      Stephen says:
      
        The netdev module alias is a hold over from the past. For
        normal devices, people used to create a alias eth0 to and
        point it to the type of network device used, that was back
        in the bad old ISA days before real discovery.
      
        Also, the tunnels create module alias for the control device
        and ip used to use this to autoload the tunnel device.
      
        The message is bogus and should just be removed, I also see
        it in a couple of other cases where tap devices are renamed
        for other usese.
      
      As mentioned in 8909c9ad ("net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN
      to load non-netdev kernel modules"), we nevertheless still
      might want to leave the old autoloading behaviour in place
      as it could break old scripts, so for now, lets just remove
      the log message as Stephen suggests.

      net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval. · 5dbe7c17
      Nicolas Schichan 提交于
      When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
      rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
      to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
      SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
      the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
      writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
      devnet_rename_seq sequence.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
      and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
      SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.
      
      The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
      spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
      even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
      the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.
      
      The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
      reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
      deadlocking the system.
