      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.

      firmware: delete in-kernel firmware · 5620a0d1
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back
      in 2013.  Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware
      package for a long long time.
      
      So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around
      (and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)

      kbuild: use $(abspath ...) instead of $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd) · 8e9b4667
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Kbuild conventionally uses $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd) idiom to get
      the absolute path of the directory because GNU Make 3.80, the minimal
      supported version at that time, did not support $(abspath ...) or
      $(realpath ...).
      
      Commit 37d69ee3 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81")
      dropped the GNU Make 3.80 support, so we are now allowed to use those
      make-builtin helpers.
      
      This conversion will provide better portability without relying on
      the pwd command or its location /bin/pwd.
      
      I am intentionally using $(realpath ...) instead $(abspath ...) in
      some places.  The difference between the two is $(realpath ...)
      returns an empty string if the given path does not exist.  It is
      convenient in places where we need to error-out if the makefile fails
      to create an output directory.

      disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings for now · bd664f6b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      I made the mistake of upgrading my desktop to the new Fedora 26 that
      comes with gcc-7.1.1.
      
      There's nothing wrong per se that I've noticed, but I now have 1500
      lines of warnings, mostly from the new format-truncation warning
      triggering all over the tree.
      
      We use 'snprintf()' and friends in a lot of places, and often know that
      the numbers are fairly small (ie a controller index or similar), but gcc
      doesn't know that, and sees an 'int', and thinks that it could be some
      huge number.  And then complains when our buffers are not able to fit
      the name for the ten millionth controller.
      
      These warnings aren't necessarily bad per se, and we probably want to
      look through them subsystem by subsystem, but at least during the merge
      window they just mean that I can't even see if somebody is introducing
      any *real* problems when I pull.
      
      So warnings disabled for now.

      kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives · 3a166fc2
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      The thin archives build currently puts all lib.a and built-in.o
      files together and links them with --whole-archive.
      
      This works because thin archives can recursively refer to thin
      archives. However some architectures include libgcc.a, which may
      not be a thin archive, or it may not be constructed with the "P"
      option, in which case its contents do not get linked correctly.
      
      So don't pull .a libs into the root built-in.o archive. These
      libs should already have symbol tables and indexes built, so they
      can be direct linker inputs. Move them out of the --whole-archive
      option, which restore the conditional linking behaviour of lib.a
      to thin archives builds.

      kbuild: remove duplicated arch/*/include/generated/uapi include path · f8224f7f
      Masahiro Yamada 提交于
      Commit 90ac086b ("Makefile: include arch/*/include/generated/uapi
      before .../generated") introduced this for bisect'ability.  The commit
      chose to promote arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the search path
      rather than cleaning stale headers.
      
      After all, we found that approach was not enough, and ended up with
      cleaning stale headers by commit cda2c65f ("kbuild: Remove stale
      asm-generic wrappers").
      
      So, the extra search path is no longer needed because Kbuild invokes
      scripts/Makefile.asm-generic and remove stale headers before it starts
      descending.
      
      This commit is also reverting commit dc33db7c ("Kbuild: avoid
      duplicate include path") because we have no more duplicated path.
