      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      由 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.

      regmap: mmio: Revert to v4.4 endianness handling · 320549a2
      由 Mark Brown 提交于 
      Commit 29bb45f2 (regmap-mmio: Use native endianness for read/write)
attempted to fix some long standing bugs in the MMIO implementation for
big endian systems caused by duplicate byte swapping in both regmap and
readl()/writel() which affected MIPS systems as when they are in big
endian mode they flip the endianness of all registers in the system, not
just the CPU.  MIPS systems had worked around this by declaring regmap
using IPs as little endian which is inaccurate, unfortunately the issue
had not been reported.

Sadly the fix makes things worse rather than better.  By changing the
behaviour to match the documentation it caused behaviour changes for
other IPs which broke them and by using the __raw I/O accessors to avoid
the endianness swapping in readl()/writel() it removed some memory
ordering guarantees and could potentially generate unvirtualisable
instructions on some architectures.

Unfortunately sorting out all this mess in any half way sensible fashion
was far too invasive to go in during an -rc cycle so instead let's go
back to the old broken behaviour for v4.5, the better fixes are already
queued for v4.6.  This does mean that we keep the broken MIPS DTs for
another release but that seems the least bad way of handling the
situation.

      MIPS: dt: Explicitly specify native endian behaviour for syscon · 25d6463e
      由 Mark Brown 提交于 
      On many MIPS systems the endianness of IP blocks is kept the same as
that of the CPU by the hardware.  This includes the system controllers
on these systems which are controlled via syscon which uses the regmap
API which used readl() and writel() to interact with the hardware,
meaning that all writes are converted to little endian when writing to
the hardware.  This caused a bad interaction with the regmap core in big
endian mode since it was not aware of the byte swapping and so ended up
performing little endian writes.

Unfortunately when this issue was noticed it was addressed by updating
the DT for the affected devices to specify them as little endian.  This
happened to work since it resulted in two endianness swaps which
cancelled each other out and gave little endian behaviour but meant that
the DT was clearly not accurately describing the hardware.

The intention of commit 29bb45f2 (regmap-mmio: Use native
endianness for read/write) was to fix this by making regmap default to
native endianness but this breaks most other MMIO users where the
hardware has a fixed endianness and the implementation uses the __raw
accessors which are not intended to be used outside of architecture
code.  Instead use the newly added native-endian DT property to say
exactly what we want for these systems.

      regmap-mmio: Use native endianness for read/write · 29bb45f2
      由 Simon Arlott 提交于 
      The regmap API has an endianness setting for formatting reads and writes.
This can be set by the usual DT "little-endian" and "big-endian" properties.
To work properly the associated regmap_bus needs to read/write in native
endian.

The "syscon" DT device binding creates an mmio-based regmap_bus which
performs all reads/writes as little-endian. These values are then converted
again by regmap, which means that all of the MIPS BCM boards (which are
big-endian) have been declared as "little-endian" to get regmap to convert
them back to big-endian.

Modify regmap-mmio to use the native-endian functions __raw_read*() and
__raw_write*() instead of the little-endian functions read*() and
write*().

Modify the big-endian MIPS BCM boards to use what will now be the correct
endianness instead of pretending that the devices are little-endian.
