      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.

      s390/mm: tag normal pages vs pages used in page tables · c9b5ad54
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The ESSA instruction has a new option that allows to tag pages that
      are not used as a page table. Without the tag the hypervisor has to
      assume that any guest page could be used in a page table inside the
      guest. This forces the hypervisor to flush all guest TLB entries
      whenever a host page table entry is invalidated. With the tag
      the host can skip the TLB flush if the page is tagged as normal page.

      s390/mm: add shadow gmap support · 4be130a0
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow
      page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support
      to the guest address space (gmap) code.
      
      For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first
      outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space
      is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the
      time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is
      executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with
      the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM
      host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to
      run the second KVM guest.
      
      While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access
      to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted
      for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first
      KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an
      unshadow.  This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the
      page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of
      the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of
      the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again.
      
      PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't
      deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than
      the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

      s390/mm: fix asce_bits handling with dynamic pagetable levels · 723cacbd
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      There is a race with multi-threaded applications between context switch and
      pagetable upgrade. In switch_mm() a new user_asce is built from mm->pgd and
      mm->context.asce_bits, w/o holding any locks. A concurrent mmap with a
      pagetable upgrade on another thread in crst_table_upgrade() could already
      have set new asce_bits, but not yet the new mm->pgd. This would result in a
      corrupt user_asce in switch_mm(), and eventually in a kernel panic from a
      translation exception.
      
      Fix this by storing the complete asce instead of just the asce_bits, which
      can then be read atomically from switch_mm(), so that it either sees the
      old value or the new value, but no mixture. Both cases are OK. Having the
      old value would result in a page fault on access to the higher level memory,
      but the fault handler would see the new mm->pgd, if it was a valid access
      after the mmap on the other thread has completed. So as worst-case scenario
      we would have a page fault loop for the racing thread until the next time
      slice.
      
      Also remove dead code and simplify the upgrade/downgrade path, there are no
      upgrades from 2 levels, and only downgrades from 3 levels for compat tasks.
      There are also no concurrent upgrades, because the mmap_sem is held with
      down_write() in do_mmap, so the flush and table checks during upgrade can
      be removed.
