      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.

      Revert "x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks" · ebd57499
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      Petr Mladek reported the following warning when loading the livepatch
      sample module:
      
        WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3699 at arch/x86/kernel/stacktrace.c:132 save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable+0x133/0x1a0

         ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40
      
      That warning means the end of the stack is no longer recognized as such
      for newly forked tasks.  The problem was introduced with the following
      commit:
      
        ff3f7e24 ("x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks")
      
      ... which was completely misguided.  It only partially fixed the
      reported issue, and it introduced another bug in the process.  None of
      the other entry code saves the frame pointer before calling into C code,
      so it doesn't make sense for ret_from_fork to do so either.
      
      Contrary to what I originally thought, the original issue wasn't related
      to newly forked tasks.  It was actually related to ftrace.  When entry
      code calls into a function which then calls into an ftrace handler, the
      stack frame looks different than normal.
      
      The original issue will be fixed in the unwinder, in a subsequent patch.

      Except for the error_exit case, none of the code paths following the
      {DIS,EN}ABLE_INTERRUPTS() invocations being modified here make any
      assumptions on register values, so all registers can be clobbered
      there. In the error_exit case a minor adjustment to register usage
      (at once eliminating an instruction) also allows for this to be true.

      x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks · ff3f7e24
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      When unwinding a task, the end of the stack is always at the same offset
      right below the saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to
      enter the kernel.  That convention allows the unwinder to verify that a
      stack is sane.
      
      However, newly forked tasks don't always follow that convention, as
      reported by the following unwinder warning seen by Dave Jones:
      
        WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffc90001443f30 in kworker/u8:8:30468 has bad value           (null)
      
      The warning was due to the following call chain:
      
        (ftrace handler)
        call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x5/0x140
        ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
      
      The problem is that ret_from_fork() doesn't create a stack frame before
      calling other functions.  Fix that by carefully using the frame pointer
      macros.
      
      In addition to conforming to the end of stack convention, this also
      makes related stack traces more sensible by making it clear to the user
      that ret_from_fork() was involved.

      x86/entry/unwind: Create stack frames for saved interrupt registers · 946c1911
      Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
      With frame pointers, when a task is interrupted, its stack is no longer
      completely reliable because the function could have been interrupted
      before it had a chance to save the previous frame pointer on the stack.
      So the caller of the interrupted function could get skipped by a stack
      trace.
      
      This is problematic for live patching, which needs to know whether a
      stack trace of a sleeping task can be relied upon.  There's currently no
      way to detect if a sleeping task was interrupted by a page fault
      exception or preemption before it went to sleep.
      
      Another issue is that when dumping the stack of an interrupted task, the
      unwinder has no way of knowing where the saved pt_regs registers are, so
      it can't print them.
      
      This solves those issues by encoding the pt_regs pointer in the frame
      pointer on entry from an interrupt or an exception.
      
      This patch also updates the unwinder to be able to decode it, because
      otherwise the unwinder would be broken by this change.
      
      Note that this causes a change in the behavior of the unwinder: each
      instance of a pt_regs on the stack is now considered a "frame".  So
      callers of unwind_get_return_address() will now get an occasional
      'regs->ip' address that would have previously been skipped over.

      do_int80_syscall_32() will call enter_form_user_mode() to convert context
      tracking state from user state to kernel state. The load_gs_index() call
      can fail with user gsbase, gsbase will be fixed up and proceed if this
      happen.
      
      However, enter_from_user_mode() will be called again in the fixed up path
      though it is context tracking kernel state currently.
      
      This patch fixes it by just fixing up gsbase and telling lockdep that IRQs
      are off once load_gs_index() failed with user gsbase.
