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.

Returning a 'bool' was very unpopular. Doubly so because the
code was just wrong (returning zero for true, one for false;
great for shell programming, not so good for C).

Change return type to "int". Keep zero as the success indicator
because it matches other similar code and people may be more
comfortable writing:

	if (memcpy_mcsafe(to, from, count)) {
		printk("Sad panda, copy failed\n");
		...
	}

Make the failure return value -EFAULT for now.

Make use of the EXTABLE_FAULT exception table entries to write
a kernel copy routine that doesn't crash the system if it
encounters a machine check. Prime use case for this is to copy
from large arrays of non-volatile memory used as storage.

We have to use an unrolled copy loop for now because current
hardware implementations treat a machine check in "rep mov"
as fatal. When that is fixed we can simplify.

Return type is a "bool". True means that we copied OK, false means
that it didn't.

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:

  x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h

This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.

These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.

In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.

So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

   27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:

 - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
   'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.

 - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
   automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
   instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
   be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
   looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
   the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
   We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
   that makes sense.

 - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
   CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
   the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
   done on the dwarf side.

Make REP_GOOD variant the default after alternatives have run.
Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Up until now we have always paid attention to make sure the length of
the new instruction replacing the old one is at least less or equal to
the length of the old instruction. If the new instruction is longer, at
the time it replaces the old instruction it will overwrite the beginning
of the next instruction in the kernel image and cause your pants to
catch fire.

So instead of having to pay attention, teach the alternatives framework
to pad shorter old instructions with NOPs at buildtime - but only in the
case when

  len(old instruction(s)) < len(new instruction(s))

and add nothing in the >= case. (In that case we do add_nops() when
patching).

This way the alternatives user shouldn't have to care about instruction
sizes and simply use the macros.

Add asm ALTERNATIVE* flavor macros too, while at it.

Also, we need to save the pad length in a separate struct alt_instr
member for NOP optimization and the way to do that reliably is to carry
the pad length instead of trying to detect whether we're looking at
single-byte NOPs or at pathological instruction offsets like e9 90 90 90
90, for example, which is a valid instruction.

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0.  To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.

So now we should do this as well.  This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols.  In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.

Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix.  For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

All read operations after allocation stage can run speculatively,
all write operation will run in program order, and if addresses are
different read may run before older write operation, otherwise wait
until write commit. However CPU don't check each address bit,
so read could fail to recognize different address even they
are in different page.For example if rsi is 0xf004, rdi is 0xe008,
in following operation there will generate big performance latency.
1. movq (%rsi),	%rax
2. movq %rax,	(%rdi)
3. movq 8(%rsi), %rax
4. movq %rax,	8(%rdi)

If %rsi and rdi were in really the same meory page, there are TRUE
read-after-write dependence because instruction 2 write 0x008 and
instruction 3 read 0x00c, the two address are overlap partially.
Actually there are in different page and no any issues,
but without checking each address bit CPU could think they are
in the same page, and instruction 3 have to wait for instruction 2
to write data into cache from write buffer, then load data from cache,
the cost time read spent is equal to mfence instruction. We may avoid it by
tuning operation sequence as follow.

1. movq 8(%rsi), %rax
2. movq %rax,	8(%rdi)
3. movq (%rsi),	%rax
4. movq %rax,	(%rdi)

Instruction 3 read 0x004, instruction 2 write address 0x010, no any
dependence.  At last on Core2 we gain 1.83x speedup compared with
original instruction sequence.  In this patch we first handle small
size(less 20bytes), then jump to different copy mode. Based on our
micro-benchmark small bytes from 1 to 127 bytes, we got up to 2X
improvement, and up to 1.5X improvement for 1024 bytes on Corei7.  (We
use our micro-benchmark, and will do further test according to your
requirment)

We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index.  This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works.  We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.

In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than
implementing memcpy()/memset()'s access to their alternative
implementations via a jump, patch the (larger) original function
directly.

The memcpy() part of this is slightly subtle: while alternative
instruction patching does itself use memcpy(), with the
replacement block being less than 64-bytes in size the main loop
of the original function doesn't get used for copying memcpy_c()
over memcpy(), and hence we can safely write over its beginning.

Also note that the CFI annotations are fine for both variants of
each of the functions.

This should slightly improve its performance.

apply_alternatives uses memcpy() to apply alternatives.  Which has the
unfortunate effect that while applying memcpy alternative to memcpy
itself it tries to overwrite itself with nops - which causes #UD fault
as it overwrites half of an instruction in copy loop, and from this
point on only possible outcome is triplefault and reboot.

So let's overwrite only first two instructions of memcpy - as long as
the main memcpy loop is not in first two bytes it will work fine.

Add unwind annotations to arch/x86_64/lib/*.S, and also use the macros
provided by linux/linkage.h where-ever possible.

Some of the alternative instructions handling needed to be adjusted so
that the replacement code would also have valid unwind information.

They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst
This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions
for these CPUs.

This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1,
essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change
is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD
and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.

B stepping were the first shipping Opterons. memcpy/memset/copy_page/
clear_page had special optimized version for them. These are really
old and in the minority now and the difference to the generic versions
(using rep microcode) is not that big anyways. So just remove them.

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!
