Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI is solid now. Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in future. Plenty of acronym soup here: - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS events) - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps - use of WFE to implement long delay()s - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs - misc cleanups and non-critical fixes" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (97 commits) arm64: Make ARMV8_DEPRECATED depend on SYSCTL arm64: Implement __lshrti3 library function arm64: support __int128 on gcc 5+ arm64/sve: Add documentation arm64/sve: Detect SVE and activate runtime support arm64/sve: KVM: Hide SVE from CPU features exposed to guests arm64/sve: KVM: Treat guest SVE use as undefined instruction execution arm64/sve: KVM: Prevent guests from using SVE arm64/sve: Add sysctl to set the default vector length for new processes arm64/sve: Add prctl controls for userspace vector length management arm64/sve: ptrace and ELF coredump support arm64/sve: Preserve SVE registers around EFI runtime service calls arm64/sve: Preserve SVE registers around kernel-mode NEON use arm64/sve: Probe SVE capabilities and usable vector lengths arm64: cpufeature: Move sys_caps_initialised declarations arm64/sve: Backend logic for setting the vector length arm64/sve: Signal handling support arm64/sve: Support vector length resetting for new processes arm64/sve: Core task context handling arm64/sve: Low-level CPU setup ...

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

arm64: use WFE for long delays

2017-10-13T17:56:15Z

The current delay implementation uses the yield instruction, which is a hint that it is beneficial to schedule another thread. As this is a hint, it may be implemented as a NOP, causing all delays to be busy loops. This is the case for many existing CPUs. Taking advantage of the generic timer sending periodic events to all cores, we can use WFE during delays to reduce power consumption. This is beneficial only for delays longer than the period of the timer event stream. If timer event stream is not enabled, delays will behave as yield/busy loops.

arm_arch_timer: Expose event stream status

2017-10-13T17:55:05Z

The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending said CPU. In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays), we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: add structs to describe MMIO timer

2017-04-19T15:11:48Z

In preparation for ACPI GTDT support, this patch adds structs to describe the MMIO timers indepedent of the firmware interface. Subsequent patches will use these to split the FW/HW probing logic, so that the HW probing logic can be shared by ACPI and DT.

ARM: sa11x0/pxa: acquire timer rate from the clock rate

2016-10-18T07:12:36Z

As both pxa and sa1100 provide a clock to the timer, the rate can be inferred from the clock rather than hard encoded in a functional call. This patch changes the pxa timer to have a mandatory clock which is used as the timer rate. Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano Acked-by: Russell King

clocksource/drivers/sp804: Convert init function to return error

2016-06-28T08:19:30Z

The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following: - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and make the system boot up correctly or - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype. Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano
