<title>linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9772285a7246c2a816da7f50c8c1e94b264770d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d15155824c5014803d91b829736d249c500bdda6 upstream.

linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
uapi/linux/types.h -&gt; uapi/linux/posix_types.h -&gt; linux/stddef.h
-&gt; uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
offsetof.

Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
such as:

   In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
                    from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
                    from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
   include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
&gt;&gt; include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
     ^

A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
(e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.

This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().

uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.

commit 81cf4a45360f70528f1f64ba018d61cb5767249a upstream.

As most of BOS descriptors are longer in length than their header
'struct usb_dev_cap_header', comparing solely with it is not sufficient
to avoid out-of-bounds access to BOS descriptors.

This patch adds descriptor type specific length check in
usb_get_bos_descriptor() to fix the issue.

commit cf33c1ee5254c6a430bc1538232b49c3ea13e613 upstream.

This patch try to fix the building error on MIPS. The reason is MIPS
has already defined the PTR macro, which conflicts with the PTR macro
in include/uapi/linux/bcache.h.

Consistently use types provided by &lt;linux/types.h&gt; to fix the following
linux/rxrpc.h userspace compilation errors:

/usr/include/linux/rxrpc.h:24:2: error: unknown type name 'u16'

Use __kernel_sa_family_t instead of sa_family_t the same way
as uapi/linux/in.h does, to fix the following
linux/rxrpc.h userspace compilation errors:

/usr/include/linux/rxrpc.h:23:2: error: unknown type name 'sa_family_t'
  sa_family_t srx_family; /* address family */

Move inclusion of a private kernel header &lt;net/tcp.h&gt;
from uapi/linux/tls.h to its only user - net/tls.h,
to fix the following linux/tls.h userspace compilation error:

/usr/include/linux/tls.h:41:21: fatal error: net/tcp.h: No such file or directory

After the SPDX license tags were added a number of tooling headers got out of
sync with their kernel variants, generating lots of build warnings.

Sync them:

 - tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h,
   tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h,
   tools/include/linux/hash.h:

     Remove the SPDX tag where the kernel version does not have it.

 - tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__fls.h,
   tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/arch_hweight.h,
   tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h,
   tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls.h,
   tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls64.h,
   tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctls.h,
   tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h,
   tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h,
   tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h:

     Add the SPDX tag of the respective kernel header.

 - tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h,

     Change the tag to the kernel header version:

       -/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
       +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */

Also sync other header details:

 - include/uapi/sound/asound.h:

     Fix pointless end of line whitespace noise the header grew in this cycle.

 - tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:

     Sync the code and add tools/include/asm/export.h with dummy wrappers
     to support building the kernel side code in a tooling header environment.

 - tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h,
   tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:

     Sync other details that don't impact tooling's use of the ABIs.

Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH:
 "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files

  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

     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.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
