link_mem_sections() and walk_memory_range() share most of the code, so
we can use convert link_mem_sections() into a dummy function that calls
walk_memory_range() with a callback to register_mem_sect_under_node().

This patch converts register_mem_sect_under_node() in order to match a
walk_memory_range's callback, getting rid of the check_nid argument and
checking instead if the system is still boothing, since we only have to
check for the nid if the system is in such state.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: fix leftover use of struct page during hotplug</title>

<content type='text'>
The case of a new numa node got missed in avoiding using the node info
from page_struct during hotplug.  In this path we have a call to
register_mem_sect_under_node (which allows us to specify it is hotplug
so don't change the node), via link_mem_sections which unfortunately
does not.

Fix is to pass check_nid through link_mem_sections as well and disable
it in the new numa node path.

Note the bug only 'sometimes' manifests depending on what happens to be
in the struct page structures - there are lots of them and it only needs
to match one of them.

The result of the bug is that (with a new memory only node) we never
successfully call register_mem_sect_under_node so don't get the memory
associated with the node in sysfs and meminfo for the node doesn't
report it.

It came up whilst testing some arm64 hotplug patches, but appears to be
universal.  Whilst I'm triggering it by removing then reinserting memory
to a node with no other elements (thus making the node disappear then
appear again), it appears it would happen on hotplugging memory where
there was none before and it doesn't seem to be related the arm64
patches.

These patches call __add_pages (where most of the issue was fixed by
Pavel's patch).  If there is a node at the time of the __add_pages call
then all is well as it calls register_mem_sect_under_node from there
with check_nid set to false.  Without a node that function returns
having not done the sysfs related stuff as there is no node to use.
This is expected but it is the resulting path that fails...

Exact path to the problem is as follows:

 mm/memory_hotplug.c: add_memory_resource()

   The node is not online so we enter the 'if (new_node)' twice, on the
   second such block there is a call to link_mem_sections which calls
   into

  drivers/node.c: link_mem_sections() which calls

  drivers/node.c: register_mem_sect_under_node() which calls
     get_nid_for_pfn and keeps trying until the output of that matches
     the expected node (passed all the way down from
     add_memory_resource)

It is effectively the same fix as the one referred to in the fixes tag
just in the code path for a new node where the comments point out we
have to rerun the link creation because it will have failed in
register_new_memory (as there was no node at the time).  (actually that
comment is wrong now as we don't have register_new_memory any more it
got renamed to hotplug_memory_register in Pavel's patch).

During memory hotplugging the probe routine will leave struct pages
uninitialized, the same as it is currently done during boot.  Therefore,
we do not want to access the inside of struct pages before
__init_single_page() is called during onlining.

Because during hotplug we know that pages in one memory block belong to
the same numa node, we can skip the checking.  We should keep checking
for the boot case.

<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.

<title>mm, memory_hotplug: split up register_one_node()</title>

<content type='text'>
Memory hotplug (add_memory_resource) has to reinitialize node
infrastructure if the node is offline (one which went through the
complete add_memory(); remove_memory() cycle).  That involves node
registration to the kobj infrastructure (register_node), the proper
association with cpus (register_cpu_under_node) and finally creation of
node&lt;-&gt;memblock symlinks (link_mem_sections).

The last part requires to know node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages
which we currently have but a leter patch will postpone this
initialization to the onlining phase which happens later.  In fact we do
not need to rely on the early pgdat initialization even now because the
currently hot added pfn range is currently known.

Split register_one_node into core which does all the common work for the
boot time NUMA initialization and the hotplug (__register_one_node).
register_one_node keeps the full initialization while hotplug calls
__register_one_node and manually calls link_mem_sections for the proper
range.

This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

register_node() is defined as extern in include/linux/node.h.  But the
function is only called from register_one_node() in driver/base/node.c.

So the patch defines register_node() as static.

We use a static array to store struct node.  In many cases, we don't have
too many nodes, and some memory will be unused.  Convert it to per-device
dynamically allocated memory.

This moves the 'memory sysdev_class' over to a regular 'memory' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

<content type='text'>
Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property.  The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.

The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.

This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr).  This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.
