      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.

      perf/x86/intel: Add proper condition to run sched_task callbacks · df6c3db8
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      We have 2 functions using the same sched_task callback:

  - PEBS drain for free running counters
  - LBR save/store

Both of them are called from intel_pmu_sched_task() and
either of them can be unwillingly triggered when the
other one is configured to run.

Let's say there's PEBS drain configured in sched_task
callback for the event, but in the callback itself
(intel_pmu_sched_task()) we will also run the code for
LBR save/restore, which we did not ask for, but the
code in intel_pmu_sched_task() does not check for that.

This can lead to extra cycles in some perf monitoring,
like when we monitor PEBS event without LBR data.

  # perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000

  (We need PEBS, non freq/non timestamp event to enable
   the sched_task callback)

The perf stat of cycles and msr:write_msr for above
command before the change:
  ...
  Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
                                 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):

    18,519,557,441      cycles:k
        91,195,527      msr:write_msr

      29.334476406 seconds time elapsed

And after the change:
  ...
  Performance counter stats for './perf record --no-timestamp -c 10000 -e cycles:p \
                                 ./perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000' (5 runs):

    18,704,973,540      cycles:k
        27,184,720      msr:write_msr

      16.977875900 seconds time elapsed

There's no affect on cycles:k because the sched_task happens
with events switched off, however the msr:write_msr tracepoint
counter together with almost 50% of time speedup show the
improvement.

Monitoring LBR event and having extra PEBS drain processing
in sched_task callback showed just a little speedup, because
the drain function does not do much extra work in case there
is no PEBS data.

Adding conditions to recognize the configured work that needs
to be done in the x86_pmu's sched_task callback.

      perf/x86/intel: Record branch type · d5c7f9dc
      由 Jin Yao 提交于 
      Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction
and using the branch type for filtering. The patch just records
the branch type in perf_branch_entry.

Before recording, the patch converts the x86 branch type to
common branch type.

Change log:

v10: Set the branch_map array to be static. The previous version
     has it on stack then makes the compiler to create it every
     time when the function gets called.

v9: Use __ffs() to find first bit in type in common_branch_type().
    It lets the code be clear.

v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.

v7: Just convert following x86 branch types to common branch types.

X86_BR_CALL      -> PERF_BR_CALL
X86_BR_RET       -> PERF_BR_RET
X86_BR_JCC       -> PERF_BR_COND
X86_BR_JMP       -> PERF_BR_UNCOND
X86_BR_IND_CALL  -> PERF_BR_IND_CALL
X86_BR_ZERO_CALL -> PERF_BR_CALL
X86_BR_IND_JMP   -> PERF_BR_IND
X86_BR_SYSCALL   -> PERF_BR_SYSCALL
X86_BR_SYSRET    -> PERF_BR_SYSRET

Others are set to PERF_BR_NONE

v6: Not changed.

v5: Just fix the merge error. No other update.

v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:

1. Uses a lookup table to convert x86 branch type to common branch
   type.

2. Move the JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page computing to
   user space.

3. Initialize branch type to 0 in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32 and
   intel_pmu_lbr_read_64

      perf/x86/intel: Clean up LBR state tracking · 3e2c1a67
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      The lbr_context logic confused me; it appears to me to try and do the
same thing the pmu::sched_task() callback does now, but limited to
per-task events.

So rip it out. Afaict this should also improve performance, because I
think the current code can end up doing lbr_reset() twice, once from
the pmu::add() and then again from pmu::sched_task(), and MSR writes
(all 3*16 of them) are expensive!!

While thinking through the cases that need the reset it occured to me
the first install of an event in an active context needs to reset the
LBR (who knows what crap is in there), but detecting this case is
somewhat hard.

      Currently perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are called from

Furthermore, we really only need this accounting on pmu::{add,del}(),

need.

Introduce x86_pmu::{add,del}() and wire up the LBR and PEBS.

where lbr_perf is the patched perf tool, that allows to specify :k

      perf/x86/intel: Fix MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x bug when no TSX · 19fc9ddd
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      Intel's SDM states that bits 61:62 in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x are the
TSX flags for formats with LBR_TSX flags (i.e. LBR_FORMAT_EIP_EFLAGS2).

However, when the CPU has TSX support deactivated, bits 61:62 actually
behave as follows:

  - For wrmsr(), bits 61:62 are considered part of the sign extension.
  - When capturing branches, the LBR hw will always clear bits 61:62.
    regardless of the sign extension.

Therefore, if:

  1) LBR has TSX format.
  2) CPU has no TSX support enabled.

... then any value passed to wrmsr() must be sign extended to 63 bits
and any value from rdmsr() must be converted to have a sign extension
of 61 bits, ignoring the values at TSX flags.

This bug was masked by the work-around to the Intel's CPU bug:
BJ94. "LBR May Contain Incorrect Information When Using FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI"
in Document Number: 324643-037US.

The aforementioned work-around uses hw flags to filter out all kernel
branches, limiting LBR callstack to user level execution only.

Since user addresses are not sign extended, they do not trigger the wrmsr()
bug in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when saved/restored at context switch.

To verify the hw bug:

  $ perf record -b -e cycles sleep 1
  $ rdmsr -p 0 0x680
  0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
  $ wrmsr -p 0 0x680 0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
  write(): Input/output error

The quirk for LBR_FROM_ MSRs is required before calls to wrmsrl() and
after rdmsrl().

This patch introduces it for wrmsrl()'s done for testing LBR support.

Future patch in series adds the quirk for context switch, that would
be required if LBR callstack is to be enabled for ring 0.

      perf/x86/intel: Print LBR support statement after validation · f09509b9
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      The following commit:

  338b522c ("perf/x86/intel: Protect LBR and extra_regs against KVM lying")

added an additional test to LBR support detection that is performed after
printing the LBR support statement to dmesg.

Move the LBR support output after the very last test, to make sure we
print the true status of LBR support.

      perf/x86: Add option to disable reading branch flags/cycles · b16a5b52
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      With LBRv5 reading the extra LBR flags like mispredict, TSX, cycles is
not free anymore, as it has moved to a separate MSR.

For callstack mode we don't need any of this information; so we can
avoid the unnecessary MSR read. Add flags to the perf interface where
perf record can request not collecting this information.

Add branch_sample_type flags for CYCLES and FLAGS. It's a bit unusual
for branch_sample_types to be negative (disable), not positive (enable),
but since the legacy ABI reported the flags we need some form of
explicit disabling to avoid breaking the ABI.

After we have the flags the x86 perf code can keep track if any users
need the flags. If noone needs it the information is not collected.

This cuts down the cost of LBR callstack on Skylake significantly.
Profiling a kernel build with LBR call stack the average run time of
the PMI handler drops by 43%.

      perf/x86: Fix LBR call stack save/restore · b28ae956
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      This fixes a bug I added in the following commit:

  90405aa0 ("perf/x86/intel/lbr: Limit LBR accesses to TOS in callstack mode")

The bug could lead to lost LBR call stacks. When restoring the LBR state
we need to use the TOS of the previous context, not the current context.
To do that we need to save/restore the TOS.
