      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.

      mm/gup: Switch all callers of get_user_pages() to not pass tsk/mm · d4edcf0d
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      We will soon modify the vanilla get_user_pages() so it can no
      longer be used on mm/tasks other than 'current/current->mm',
      which is by far the most common way it is called.  For now,
      we allow the old-style calls, but warn when they are used.
      (implemented in previous patch)
      
      This patch switches all callers of:
      
      	get_user_pages()
      	get_user_pages_unlocked()
      	get_user_pages_locked()
      
      to stop passing tsk/mm so they will no longer see the warnings.

      sparc64: Implement __get_user_pages_fast(). · 06090e8e
      David S. Miller 提交于
      It is not sufficient to only implement get_user_pages_fast(), you
      must also implement the atomic version __get_user_pages_fast()
      otherwise you end up using the weak symbol fallback implementation
      which simply returns zero.
      
      This is dangerous, because it causes the futex code to loop forever
      if transparent hugepages are supported (see get_futex_key()).

      sparc64: Encode huge PMDs using PTE encoding. · a7b9403f
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Now that we have 64-bits for PMDs we can stop using special encodings
      for the huge PMD values, and just put real PTEs in there.
      
      We allocate a _PAGE_PMD_HUGE bit to distinguish between plain PMDs and
      huge ones.  It is the same for both 4U and 4V PTE layouts.
      
      We also use _PAGE_SPECIAL to indicate the splitting state, since a
      huge PMD cannot also be special.
      
      All of the PMD --> PTE translation code disappears, and most of the
      huge PMD bit modifications and tests just degenerate into the PTE
      operations.  In particular USER_PGTABLE_CHECK_PMD_HUGE becomes
      trivial.
      
      As a side effect, normal PMDs don't shift the physical address around.
      This also speeds up the page table walks in the TLB miss paths since
      they don't have to do the shifts any more.
      
      Another non-trivial aspect is that pte_modify() has to be changed
      to preserve the _PAGE_PMD_HUGE bits as well as the page size field
      of the pte.

      powerpc/mm: Allow more flexible layouts for hugepage pagetables · a4fe3ce7
      David Gibson 提交于
      Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
      pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
      hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
      tables at a different level.  Every hugepage aware path that needs to
      walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
      slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
      accordingly.  Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
      sizes, more layout options and more mess.
      
      This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
      reduce this complexity.  In the new scheme, instead of having to
      consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
      PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
      and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
      shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
      slice mask.  This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
      levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
      now we assume only one level exists.
      
      This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
      know how the pagetables should be set out.  All other (hugepage)
      pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
      
      There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
      directory pointers, but it was only used for debug.  We alter that
      flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
      pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
      mapping).  This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
      punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
      unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
      pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
      
      While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
      #defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.
