      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.

      clocksource: arch_timer: Fix code to use physical timers when requested · 0b46b8a7
      Sonny Rao 提交于
      This is a bug fix for using physical arch timers when
      the arch_timer_use_virtual boolean is false.  It restores the
      arch_counter_get_cntpct() function after removal in
      
      0d651e4e "clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters"
      
      We need this on certain ARMv7 systems which are architected like this:
      
      * The firmware doesn't know and doesn't care about hypervisor mode and
        we don't want to add the complexity of hypervisor there.
      
      * The firmware isn't involved in SMP bringup or resume.
      
      * The ARCH timer come up with an uninitialized offset between the
        virtual and physical counters.  Each core gets a different random
        offset.
      
      * The device boots in "Secure SVC" mode.
      
      * Nothing has touched the reset value of CNTHCTL.PL1PCEN or
        CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN (both default to 1 at reset)
      
      One example of such as system is RK3288 where it is much simpler to
      use the physical counter since there's nobody managing the offset and
      each time a core goes down and comes back up it will get reinitialized
      to some other random value.

      arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM users · 8bd26e3a
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
      some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
      do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
      commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
      is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
      with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
      
      After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
      the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
      we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
      
      Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
      notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
      and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
      the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
      As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
      related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
      rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
      
      This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
      and all __CPUINIT from assembly code.  It also had two ".previous"
      section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
      (aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

      clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters · 0d651e4e
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      Switching between reading the virtual or physical counters is
      problematic, as some core code wants a view of time before we're fully
      set up. Using a function pointer and switching the source after the
      first read can make time appear to go backwards, and having a check in
      the read function is an unfortunate block on what we want to be a fast
      path.
      
      Instead, this patch makes us always use the virtual counters. If we're a
      guest, or don't have hyp mode, we'll use the virtual timers, and as such
      don't care about CNTVOFF as long as it doesn't change in such a way as
      to make time appear to travel backwards. As the guest will use the
      virtual timers, a (potential) KVM host must use the physical timers
      (which can wake up the host even if they fire while a guest is
      executing), and hence a host must have CNTVOFF set to zero so as to have
      a consistent view of time between the physical timers and virtual
      counters.

      ARM: convert arm/arm64 arch timer to use CLKSRC_OF init · 0583fe47
      Rob Herring 提交于
      This converts arm and arm64 to use CLKSRC_OF DT based initialization for
      the arch timer. A new function arch_timer_arch_init is added to allow for
      arch specific setup.
      
      This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There
      should not be any reason not to use the arch timers for sched_clock.
