      powerpc: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s · 719736e1
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于
      'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
      setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.
      
      Also since commit f467c564 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
      is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
      regardless of 'default n' being present or not:
      
          ...
          One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
          the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
      
              config FOO
                      bool
      
              config FOO
                      bool
                      default n
      
          With this change, neither of these will generate a
          '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
          That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
          redundant.

      powerpc/cell: Remove axonram driver · 1d65b1c8
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      The QS21/22 IBM Cell blades had a southbridge chip called Axon. This
      could have DDR DIMMs attached to it, though they were not directly
      usable as RAM, instead they could be used as some sort of buffer, if
      applications were written specifically to use the block device
      provided by the driver.
      
      Although the driver supposedly had direct access support, it was
      apparently never tested (see commit 91117a20 ("axonram: Fix bug in
      direct_access")).
      
      These machines have not been available for over 5 years, and were
      never widely in use. It seems highly unlikely anyone is using this
      driver.
      
      In general we're happy to leave old drivers in the tree, but because
      DAX is involved this driver is caught up in the ongoing work in that
      area, but none of the DAX folks are able to test it.
      
      So remove the driver, if any one *is* using it, we'll be happy to put
      it back.

      dax: require 'struct page' by default for filesystem dax · 569d0365
      Dan Williams 提交于
      If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
      read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
      gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
      does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
      with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
      SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
      break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
      map pages.
      
      In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
      pages.  We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
      path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
      drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
      to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
      option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
      This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.
      
      Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
      there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
      generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
      struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
      kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
      conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
      long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
      order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
      pfn_to_page().

      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.

      The PPC_DT_CPU_FTRs is a bit misplaced in menuconfig, it shows up with
      other general kernel options. It's really more at home in the "Platform
      Support" section, so move it there.
      
      Also enable it by default, for Book3s 64. It does mostly nothing unless
      the device tree properties are found, and we will want it enabled
      eventually in distro kernels, so turn it on to start getting more

      powerpc: do away with ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB · 86c55af4

      This replaces:
      
      - "select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB" with "select GPIOLIB" as this can
        now be selected directly.
      
      - "select ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB" with no dependency: GPIOLIB
        is now selectable by everyone, so we need not declare our
        intent to select it.
      
      When ordering the symbols the following rationale was used:
      if the selects were in alphabetical order, I moved select GPIOLIB
      to be in alphabetical order, but if the selects were not
      maintained in alphabetical order, I just replaced
      "select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB" with "select GPIOLIB".

      These machines will be using a new firmware called OPAL

      The PowerNV platform is intended to be also usable under
      the BML environment used internally for early CPU bringup
      which is why the code also supports using RTAS instead of
      OPAL in various places.

      powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor vmpic driver · 3a93261f
      Ashish Kalra 提交于
      The Freescale ePAPR reference hypervisor provides interrupt controller
      services via a hypercall interface, instead of emulating the MPIC
      controller.  This is called the VMPIC.
      
      The ePAPR "virtual interrupt controller" provides interrupt controller
      services for external interrupts.  External interrupts received by a
      partition can come from two sources:
      
        - Hardware interrupts - hardware interrupts come from external
          interrupt lines or on-chip I/O devices.
        - Virtual interrupts - virtual interrupts are generated by the hypervisor
          as part of some hypervisor service or hypervisor-created virtual device.
      
      Both types of interrupts are processed using the same programming model and
      same set of hypercalls.
