The document describes NUMA memory policy and as it is a part of the Linux
documentation it's obvious that this is Linux memory policy. Besides,
"Linux memory policy" may refer to other policies, e.g. memory hotplug
policy, and using term NUMA makes the documentation less ambiguous.

  This series provides the script 'features-refresh.sh', which operates on

Thomas said:

There are a few bogus SPDX identifiers in various files and SPDX
Identifiers used in tree or about to be used which have no corresponding
License Text file in the LICENSES directory or use the new variant of the
GPL-2.0[+] license identifiers which are not mentioned in the GPL-2.0
Valid-License-Identifiers: tags.

There is no tool which can be used to scan the tree and also nothing which
helps people who submit patches to check their stuff before submission.

The following series cleans that up:

 - Add GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers to the GPL2.0 license
   and the Linux-syscall-note exception

 - Add X11, Apache-2.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0, CCDL-1.0, Linux-OpenIB license texts
   to the LICENSES directory along with the required documentation texts

 - Add a checker script which can read a single file or even a patch from
   the command line or does a full git tree scan

[Thomas also wins some sort of special prize for including an SPDX-checking
patch that complains about itself!]

The SPDX-License-Identifiers are growing in the kernel and so grow
expression failures and license IDs are used which have no corresponding
license text file in the LICENSES directory.

Add a script which gathers information from the LICENSES directory,
i.e. the various tags in the licenses and exception files and then scans
either input from stdin, which it treats as a single file or if started
without arguments it scans the full kernel tree.

It checks whether the license expression syntax is correct and also
validates whether the license identifiers used in the expressions are
available in the LICENSES files.

That's a full tree sweep on my laptop. Note, this runs single threaded.

It scans by default the first 15 lines for a SPDX identifier where the
current max inside a top comment is at line 10. But that's going to be
faster once the identifiers are all in the first two lines as documented.

The python wizards will surely know how to do that smarter and faster, but
its at least better than no tool at all.
