[ Upstream commit bd93f003b7462ae39a43c531abca37fe7073b866 ]

Clang normally does not warn about certain issues in inline functions when
it only happens in an eliminated code path. However if something else
goes wrong, it does tend to complain about the definition of hweight_long()
on 32-bit targets:

  include/linux/bitops.h:75:41: error: shift count &gt;= width of type [-Werror,-Wshift-count-overflow]
          return sizeof(w) == 4 ? hweight32(w) : hweight64(w);

                                                  ^
  include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:19:72: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight16'
   define __const_hweight16(w) (__const_hweight8(w)  + __const_hweight8((w)  &gt;&gt; 8 ))
                                                                         ^

            (!!((w) &amp; (1ULL &lt;&lt; 2))) +     \

Adding an explicit cast to __u64 avoids that warning and makes it easier
to read other output.

commit 9144d75e22cad3c89e6b2ccab551db9ee28d250a upstream.

net_dim.h has a rather useful extension to BITS_PER_BYTE to compute the
number of bits in a type (BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(T)), so promote the macro
to bitops.h, alongside BITS_PER_BYTE, for wider usage.

commit ef4d6f6b275c498f8e5626c99dbeefdc5027f843 upstream.

The ror32 implementation (word &gt;&gt; shift) | (word &lt;&lt; (32 - shift) has
undefined behaviour if shift is outside the [1, 31] range.  Similarly
for the 64 bit variants.  Most callers pass a compile-time constant
(naturally in that range), but there's an UBSAN report that these may
actually be called with a shift count of 0.

Instead of special-casing that, we can make them DTRT for all values of
shift while also avoiding UB.  For some reason, this was already partly
done for rol32 (which was well-defined for [0, 31]).  gcc 8 recognizes
these patterns as rotates, so for example

  __u32 rol32(__u32 word, unsigned int shift)
  {
	return (word &lt;&lt; (shift &amp; 31)) | (word &gt;&gt; ((-shift) &amp; 31));
  }

compiles to

0000000000000020 &lt;rol32&gt;:
  20:   89 f8                   mov    %edi,%eax
  22:   89 f1                   mov    %esi,%ecx
  24:   d3 c0                   rol    %cl,%eax
  26:   c3                      retq

Older compilers unfortunately do not do as well, but this only affects
the small minority of users that don't pass constants.

Due to integer promotions, ro[lr]8 were already well-defined for shifts
in [0, 8], and ro[lr]16 were mostly well-defined for shifts in [0, 16]
(only mostly - u16 gets promoted to _signed_ int, so if bit 15 is set,
word &lt;&lt; 16 is undefined).  For consistency, update those as well.

commit 8bd9cb51daac89337295b6f037b0486911e1b408 upstream

In preparation for implementing the asm-generic atomic bitops in terms
of atomic_long_*(), we need to prevent &lt;asm/atomic.h&gt; implementations from
pulling in &lt;linux/bitops.h&gt;. A common reason for this include is for the
BITS_PER_BYTE definition, so move this and some other BIT() and masking
macros into a new header file, &lt;linux/bits.h&gt;.

Add two simple wrappers around set_bit/clear_bit() that accept
the common case of an u32 array. This avoids writing
casts in all callers.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

GENMASK(_ULL) performs a left-shift of ~0UL(L), which technically
results in an integer overflow.  clang raises a warning if the overflow
occurs in a preprocessor expression.  Clear the low-order bits through a
substraction instead of the left-shift to avoid the overflow.

(akpm: no change in .text size in my testing)

It causes double align requirement for __get_vm_area_node() if parameter
size is power of 2 and VM_IOREMAP is set in parameter flags, for example
size=0x10000 -&gt; fls_long(0x10000)=17 -&gt; align=0x20000

get_count_order_long() is implemented and can be used instead of
fls_long() for fixing the bug, for example size=0x10000 -&gt;
get_count_order_long(0x10000)=16 -&gt; align=0x10000

<id>urn:sha1:85ad1d13ee9b3db00615ea24b031c15e5ba14fd1</id>
<content type='text'>
Some code waits for a metadata update by:

1. flagging that it is needed (MD_CHANGE_DEVS or MD_CHANGE_CLEAN)
2. setting MD_CHANGE_PENDING and waking the management thread
3. waiting for MD_CHANGE_PENDING to be cleared

If the first two are done without locking, the code in md_update_sb()
which checks if it needs to repeat might test if an update is needed
before step 1, then clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING after step 2, resulting
in the wait returning early.

So make sure all places that set MD_CHANGE_PENDING are atomicial, and
bit_clear_unless (suggested by Neil) is introduced for the purpose.
