      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.

      sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in wake_up_page_bit · 11a19c7b
      Tim Chen 提交于
      Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark
      on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function.
      
      We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
      pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
      other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
      when traversing the list for too long.  This reduces the interrupt and
      rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

      sched/wait: Break up long wake list walk · 2554db91
      Tim Chen 提交于
      We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large
      systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and
      execute all the wake functions.
      
      We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of
      large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list
      during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will
      spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of
      hot pages that are shared by many threads.
      
      Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one
      queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups.
      
      The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused
      various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI
      watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only
      extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped.
      
      This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break
      the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume
      its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and
      rescheduling latency.
      
      This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next
      patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the
      will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.

      wait: add wait_event_killable_timeout() · 8ada9279
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      These are the few pending fixes I have queued up for v4.13-final.  One
      is a a generic regression fix for recursive loops on kmod and the other
      one is a trivial print out correction.
      
      During the v4.13 development we assumed that recursive kmod loops were
      no longer possible.  Clearly that is not true.  The regression fix makes
      use of a new killable wait.  We use a killable wait to be paranoid in
      how signals might be sent to modprobe and only accept a proper SIGKILL.
      The signal will only be available to userspace to issue *iff* a thread
      has already entered a wait state, and that happens only if we've already
      throttled after 50 kmod threads have been hit.
      
      Note that although it may seem excessive to trigger a failure afer 5
      seconds if all kmod thread remain busy, prior to the series of changes
      that went into v4.13 we would actually *always* fatally fail any request
      which came in if the limit was already reached.  The new waiting
      implemented in v4.13 actually gives us *more* breathing room -- the wait
      for 5 seconds is a wait for *any* kmod thread to finish.  We give up and
      fail *iff* no kmod thread has finished and they're *all* running
      straight for 5 consecutive seconds.  If 50 kmod threads are running
      consecutively for 5 seconds something else must be really bad.
      
      Recursive loops with kmod are bad but they're also hard to implement
      properly as a selftest without currently fooling current userspace tools
      like kmod [1].  For instance kmod will complain when you run depmod if
      it finds a recursive loop with symbol dependency between modules as such
      this type of recursive loop cannot go upstream as the modules_install
      target will fail after running depmod.
      
      These tests already exist on userspace kmod upstream though (refer to
      the testsuite/module-playground/mod-loop-*.c files).  The same is not
      true if request_module() is used though, or worst if aliases are used.
      
      Likewise the issue with 64-bit kernels booting 32-bit userspace without
      a binfmt handler built-in is also currently not detected and proactively
      avoided by userspace kmod tools, or kconfig for all architectures.
      Although we could complain in the kernel when some of these individual
      recursive issues creep up, proactively avoiding these situations in
      userspace at build time is what we should keep striving for.
      
      Lastly, since recursive loops could happen with kmod it may mean
      recursive loops may also be possible with other kernel usermode helpers,
      this should be investigated and long term if we can come up with a more
      sensible generic solution even better!

      accepts SIGKILL interrupt signal.  Other signals are ignored.

      sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list naming · 2055da97
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
      code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.
      
      Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
      not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
      the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.
      
      To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
      fields unambiguously:
      
      	struct wait_queue_head::task_list	=> ::head
      	struct wait_queue_entry::task_list	=> ::entry
      
      For example, this code:
      
      	rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
      
      ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
      
      	rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
      
      ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
      
      Other examples are:
      
      	list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
      	list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {
      
      ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
      hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
      a bug), while now it's written as:
      
      	list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
      	list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {

      sched/wait: Split out the wait_bit*() APIs from <linux/wait.h> into <linux/wait_bit.h> · 5dd43ce2
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they
      are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues.
      
      Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while
      over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality.
      
      So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality
      out of it, into a separate .h and .c file:
      
        include/linux/wait_bit.h  for types and APIs
        kernel/sched/wait_bit.c   for the implementation
      
      Update all header dependencies.
      
      This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

      sched/wait: Standardize wait_bit_queue naming · 76c85ddc
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      So wait-bit-queue head variables are often named:
      
      	struct wait_bit_queue *q
      
      ... which is a bit ambiguous and super confusing, because
      they clearly suggest wait-queue head semantics and behavior
      (they rhyme with the old wait_queue_t *q naming), while they
      are extended wait-queue _entries_, not heads!
      
      They are misnomers in two ways:
      
       - the 'wait_bit_queue' leaves open the question of whether
         it's an entry or a head
      
       - the 'q' parameter and local variable naming falsely implies
         that it's a 'queue' - while it's an entry.
      
      This resulted in sometimes confusing cases such as:
      
      	finish_wait(wq, &q->wait);
      
      where the 'q' is not a wait-queue head, but a wait-bit-queue entry.
      
      So improve this all by standardizing wait-bit-queue nomenclature
      similar to wait-queue head naming:
      
      	struct wait_bit_queue   => struct wait_bit_queue_entry
      	q			=> wbq_entry
      
      Which makes it all a much clearer:
      
      	struct wait_bit_queue_entry *wbq_entry
      
      ... and turns the former confusing piece of code into:
      
      	finish_wait(wq_head, &wbq_entry->wq_entry;
      
      which IMHO makes it apparently clear what we are doing,
      without having to analyze the context of the code: we are
      adding a wait-queue entry to a regular wait-queue head,
      which entry is embedded in a wait-bit-queue entry.
      
      I'm not a big fan of acronyms, but repeating wait_bit_queue_entry
      in field and local variable names is too long, so Hopefully it's
      clear enough that 'wq_' prefixes stand for wait-queues, while
      'wbq_' prefixes stand for wait-bit-queues.

      sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue heads · 9d9d676f
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      The wait-queue head parameters and variables are named in a
      couple of ways, we have the following variants currently:
      
      	wait_queue_head_t *q
      	wait_queue_head_t *wq
      	wait_queue_head_t *head
      
      In particular the 'wq' naming is ambiguous in the sense whether it's
      a wait-queue head or entry name - as entries were often named 'wait'.
      
      ( Not to mention the confusion of any readers coming over from
        workqueue-land. )
      
      Standardize all this around a single, unambiguous parameter and
      variable name:
      
      	struct wait_queue_head *wq_head
      
      which is easy to grep for and also rhymes nicely with the wait-queue
      entry naming:
      
      	struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry
      
      Also rename:
      
      	struct __wait_queue_head => struct wait_queue_head
      
      ... and use this struct type to migrate from typedefs usage to 'struct'
      usage, which is more in line with existing kernel practices.
      
      Don't touch any external users and preserve the main wait_queue_head_t
      typedef.

      sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue entries · 50816c48
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      So the various wait-queue entry variables in include/linux/wait.h
      and kernel/sched/wait.c are named in a colorfully inconsistent
      way:
      
      	wait_queue_entry_t *wait
      	wait_queue_entry_t *__wait	(even in plain C code!)
      	wait_queue_entry_t *q		(!)
      	wait_queue_entry_t *new		(making anyone who knows C++ cringe)
      	wait_queue_entry_t *old
      
      I think part of the reason for the inconsistency is the constant
      apparent confusion about what a wait queue 'head' versus 'entry' is.
      
      ( Some of the documentation talks about a 'wait descriptor', which is
        the wait-queue entry itself - further adding to the confusion. )
      
      The most common name is 'wait', but that in itself is somewhat
      ambiguous as well, as it does not really make it clear whether
      it's a wait-queue entry or head.
      
      To improve all this name the wait-queue entry structure parameters
      and variables consistently and push through this naming into all
      the wait.h and wait.c code:
      
      	struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry
      
      The 'wq_' prefix makes it easy to grep for, and we also use the
      opportunity to move away from the typedef to a plain 'struct' naming:
      in the kernel we typically reserve typedefs for cases where a
      C structure is really small and somewhat opaque - such as pte_t.
      
      wait-queue entries are neither small nor opaque, so use the more
      standard 'struct xxx_entry' list management code nomenclature instead.
      
      ( We don't touch external users, and we preserve the typedef as well
        for actual wait-queue users, to reduce unnecessary churn. )

      sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t · ac6424b9
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Rename:
      
      	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t
      
      'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
      but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
      which had to carry the name.
      
      Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
      
      This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
      lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
      which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

      sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h> · bd0f9b35
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
      nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
      <linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
      from <linux/sched/signal.h>.
      
      That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
      semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates
      from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).
      
      It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
      generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
      __wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
      includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
      actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
      function is the right thing to do.
      
      Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
      versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
      set of helper functions.
      
      We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
      subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
      the annoying header dependency.

      ktime: Get rid of the union · 2456e855
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
      scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
      variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
      and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
      become completely pointless.
      
      Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.
      
      The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

      wait: introduce wait_event_exclusive_cmd · 9f3520c3
      Yuanhan Liu 提交于
      It's just a variant of wait_event_cmd(), with exclusive flag being set.
      
      For cases like RAID5, which puts many processes to sleep until 1/4
      resources are free, a wake_up wakes up all processes to run, but
      there is one process being able to get the resource as it's protected
      by a spin lock. That ends up introducing heavy lock contentions, and
      hurts performance badly.
      
      Here introduce wait_event_exclusive_cmd to relieve the lock contention
      naturally by letting wake_up just wake up one process.

      It took me a few tries to figure out what this code did; lets rewrite
      it into a more regular form.
      
      The thing that makes this one 'special' is the BSG_F_BLOCK flag, if
      that is not set we're not supposed/allowed to block and should spin
      wait for completion.
      
      The (new) io_wait_event() will never see a false condition in case of
      the spinning and we will therefore not block.

      SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces. · cbbce822
      NeilBrown 提交于
      In commit c1221321
         sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
      
      I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
      need.  This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.
      
      Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
      "timeout" field was just premature generalization.  If some other
      use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.
      
      So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
      waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
      and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:
      
      wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
      and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
      example.  Others can be added as needed.
