      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.

      cfg80211: support ieee80211-freq-limit DT property · e691ac2f
      Rafał Miłecki 提交于
      This patch adds a helper for reading that new property and applying
      limitations of supported channels specified this way.
      It is used with devices that normally support a wide wireless band but
      in a given config are limited to some part of it (usually due to board
      design). For example a dual-band chipset may be able to support one band
      only because of used antennas.
      It's also common that tri-band routers have separated radios for lower
      and higher part of 5 GHz band and it may be impossible to say which is
      which without a DT info.

      This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing
      the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode.
      When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb
      function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well).
      A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center
      frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'.
      
      Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid
      many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB'
      not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality
      (where needed) is added in the following patch.

      cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands · 29cbe68c
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
      add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
      must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
      joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
      when the device goes up.
      
      Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
      well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
      start the mesh on interface up.
      
      We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
      mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
      Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
      only allowed while connected. Specify them with
      the new mesh join command instead where needed.
      
      In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
      mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
      by testing the mesh ID.

      cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces · 59bbb6f7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory
      enforcement and connection stability, in that it is
      possible to switch the channel while connected to a
      network or joined to an IBSS.
      
      The problem comes from the fact that we only validate
      the channel against the current interface's type, not
      against any other interface. Thus, you have any type
      of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode
      interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This
      will obviously also switch the channel on the other
      interface.
      
      The problem now is that if you do that while sending
      beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled
      channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing.
      Combined with a managed mode interface connected to
      an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily
      break the connection that way.
      
      To fix this, this patch validates any channel change
      with all available interfaces, and disallows such
      changes on secondary interfaces if another interface
      is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

      cfg80211/nl80211: add IBSS API · 04a773ad
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers.
      The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them
      from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS.
      
      The nl80211 API requires
       * an SSID
       * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS
         has to be created
      
      It optionally supports
       * a flag to fix the channel
       * a fixed BSSID
      
      The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before
      the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it
      also caches values when the interface is down and instructs
      the driver to join when the interface is set up.

      nl80211: Event notifications for MLME events · 6039f6d2
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme")
      for informing user space about received and processed Authentication,
      (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in
      station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
      MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
      MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
      MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
      management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
      includes all the needed information.
      
      This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
      authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
      will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the

      cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion · 8318d78a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
      registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
      old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
      are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
      can be done.
      
      Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
      IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
      unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
      to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
      much required for travelling.
      
      Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
      mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
      to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
      empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
      the BSS conf stuff.
      
      I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
      power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
