      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.

      tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl() · a7de92da
      Dan Williams 提交于
      A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling
      routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage
      for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before
      probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl()
      and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing
      the rest of the tests to not run / fail.
      
      This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS
      behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress
      against implementations it has seen in practice.

      nfit: do an ARS scrub on hitting a latent media error · 6839a6d9
      Vishal Verma 提交于
      When a latent (unknown to 'badblocks') error is encountered, it will
      trigger a machine check exception. On a system with machine check
      recovery, this will only SIGBUS the process(es) which had the bad page
      mapped (as opposed to a kernel panic on platforms without machine
      check recovery features). In the former case, we want to trigger a full
      rescan of that nvdimm bus. This will allow any additional, new errors
      to be captured in the block devices' badblocks lists, and offending
      operations on them can be trapped early, avoiding machine checks.
      
      This is done by registering a callback function with the
      x86_mce_decoder_chain and calling the new ars_rescan functionality with
      the address in the mce notificatiion.

      we want to enable nfit_test to operate without DMA_CMA and the pmem it

      /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory · ab68f262
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
      (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
      without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
      precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:
      
      1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
      pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
      
      2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
      scenarios are supported.
      
      For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
      support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
      same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
      mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
      filesystem specific implementation semantics.
      
      Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
      targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
      ranges.
      
      This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
      associate a dax device with pmem range.

      to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common

      Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to

      nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB · 67a3e8fe
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads.  For
      rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
      reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB).  This was
      done on a random lab machine.
      
      PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
      	# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
      	100000+0 records in
      	100000+0 records out
      	409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s
      
      PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
      	# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
      	1000000+0 records in
      	1000000+0 records out
      	4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s
      
      To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
      support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:
      
      http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
      
      This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
      associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
      new data is read.  This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
      previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
      cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM.  We know
      that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
      writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
      and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
      aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
      contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.
      
      In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
      generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range().  This is
      protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
      only supported on x86.

      libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option · 7a67832c
      Dan Williams 提交于
      We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
      register a nvdimm bus beneath it.  Registering the platform device
      triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
      search currently comes up empty.  Building the nvdimm-bus registration
      into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
      libnvdimm to be built-in.  Instead, convert the built-in portion of
      CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
      rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
      reasons:
      
      1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
         libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
      
      2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
         (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
         default)
      
      3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
         "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
         take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
         registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

      libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk.  These replacements use the linker
      --wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to
      custom defined unit test resources.  The end result is a fully
      functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the
      capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources.
      
      Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation?
      QEMU is not suitable for unit testing.  QEMU's role is to faithfully
      emulate the platform.  A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement
      the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the
      sub-system implementation.  As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the
      sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a
      reproducer unit test.
      
      Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3
      software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and
      execute the tests.  The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of
      getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components
      involved.
      
      
      Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in
         libndctl?
      Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules
      face.  Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if
      they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/.
      
      
      Q: What are the negative implications of merging this?
      It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an
      interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the
      semantics of a routine to enable testing.  For example
      __wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test
      resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent().  The future
      maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of
      ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.
