License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

arm, arm64: factorize common cpu capacity default code

2017-06-03T10:10:09Z

arm and arm64 share lot of code relative to parsing CPU capacity information from DT, using that information for appropriate scaling and exposing a sysfs interface for chaging such values at runtime. Factorize such code in a common place (driver/base/arch_topology.c) in preparation for further additions.

driver-core: add test module for asynchronous probing

2016-11-10T16:28:16Z

This test module tries to test asynchronous driver probing by having a driver that sleeps for an extended period of time (5 secs) in its probe() method. It measures the time needed to register this driver (with device already registered) and a new device (with driver already registered). The module will fail to load if the time spent in register call is more than half the probing sleep time. As a sanity check the driver will then try to synchronously register driver and device and fail if registration takes less than half of the probing sleep time.

isa: Allow ISA-style drivers on modern systems

2016-06-18T03:21:12Z

Several modern devices, such as PC/104 cards, are expected to run on modern systems via an ISA bus interface. Since ISA is a legacy interface for most modern architectures, ISA support should remain disabled in general. Support for ISA-style drivers should be enabled on a per driver basis. To allow ISA-style drivers on modern systems, this patch introduces the ISA_BUS_API and ISA_BUS Kconfig options. The ISA bus driver will now build conditionally on the ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option, which defaults to the legacy ISA Kconfig option. The ISA_BUS Kconfig option allows the ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option to be selected on architectures which do not enable ISA (e.g. X86_64). The ISA_BUS Kconfig option is currently only implemented for X86 architectures. Other architectures may have their own ISA_BUS Kconfig options added as required.

drivers/base: Add MSI domain support for non-PCI devices

2015-07-29T22:14:38Z

With the msi_list and the msi_domain properties now being at the generic device level, it is starting to be relatively easy to offer a generic way of providing non-PCI MSIs. The two major hurdles with this idea are: - Lack of global ID that identifies a device: this is worked around by having a global ID allocator for each device that gets enrolled in the platform MSI subsystem - Lack of standard way to write the message in the generating device. This is solved by mandating driver code to provide a write_msg callback, so that everyone can have their own square wheel Apart from that, the API is fairly straightforward: - platform_msi_create_irq_domain creates an MSI domain that gets tagged with DOMAIN_BUS_PLATFORM_MSI - platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs allocate MSIs for a given device, populating the msi_list - platform_msi_domain_free_irqs does what is written on the tin [ tglx: Created a seperate struct platform_msi_desc and added kerneldoc entries ] Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Cc: Cc: Yijing Wang Cc: Ma Jun Cc: Lorenzo Pieralisi Cc: Duc Dang Cc: Hanjun Guo Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Jiang Liu Cc: Jason Cooper Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1438091186-10244-10-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

drivers: base: support cpu cache information interface to userspace via sysfs

2014-11-07T19:45:00Z

This patch adds initial support for providing processor cache information to userspace through sysfs interface. This is based on already existing implementations(x86, ia64, s390 and powerpc) and hence the interface is intended to be fully compatible. The main purpose of this generic support is to avoid further code duplication to support new architectures and also to unify all the existing different implementations. This implementation maintains the hierarchy of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology. Cache devices are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. The cache information is replicated per-cpu even if they are shared. A per-cpu array of cache information maintained is used mainly for sysfs-related book keeping. It also implements the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for enabling both kernel and user-space to discover the system's overall cache topology. This patch also add the missing ABI documentation for the cacheinfo sysfs interface already, which is well defined and widely used.

Driver core: Unified device properties interface for platform firmware

2014-11-04T20:58:21Z

Add a uniform interface by which device drivers can request device properties from the platform firmware by providing a property name and the corresponding data type. The purpose of it is to help to write portable code that won't depend on any particular platform firmware interface. The following general helper functions are added: device_property_present() device_property_read_u8() device_property_read_u16() device_property_read_u32() device_property_read_u64() device_property_read_string() device_property_read_u8_array() device_property_read_u16_array() device_property_read_u32_array() device_property_read_u64_array() device_property_read_string_array() The first one allows the caller to check if the given property is present. The next 5 of them allow single-valued properties of various types to be retrieved in a uniform way. The remaining 5 are for reading properties with multiple values (arrays of either numbers or strings). The interface covers both ACPI and Device Trees. This change set includes material from Mika Westerberg and Aaron Lu.

device coredump: add new device coredump class

2014-09-24T05:53:15Z

Many devices run firmware and/or complex hardware, and most of that can have bugs. When it misbehaves, however, it is often much harder to debug than software running on the host. Introduce a "device coredump" mechanism to allow dumping internal device/firmware state through a generalized mechanism. As devices are different and information needed can vary accordingly, this doesn't prescribe a file format - it just provides mechanism to get data to be able to capture it in a generalized way (e.g. in distributions.) The dumped data will be readable in sysfs in the virtual device's data file under /sys/class/devcoredump/devcd*/. Writing to it will free the data and remove the device, as does a 5-minute timeout. Note that generalized capturing of such data may result in privacy issues, so users generally need to be involved. In order to allow certain users/system integrators/... to disable the feature at all, introduce a Kconfig option to override the drivers that would like to have the feature. For now, this provides two ways of dumping data: 1) with a vmalloc'ed area, that is then given to the subsystem and freed after retrieval or timeout 2) with a generalized reader/free function method We could/should add more options, e.g. a list of pages, since the vmalloc area is very limited on some architectures.
