<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.

When setting up the Xenstore watch for the memory target size the new
watch will fire at once. Don't try to reach the configured target size
by onlining new memory in this case, as the current memory size will
be smaller in almost all cases due to e.g. BIOS reserved pages.

Onlining new memory will lead to more problems e.g. undesired conflicts
with NVMe devices meant to be operated as block devices.

Instead remember the difference between target size and current size
when the watch fires for the first time and apply it to any further
size changes, too.

In order to avoid races between balloon.c and xen-balloon.c init calls
do the xen-balloon.c initialization from balloon.c.

 "This is the first pull request for the new dma-mapping subsystem

  In this new subsystem we'll try to properly maintain all the generic
  code related to dma-mapping, and will further consolidate arch code
  into common helpers.

  This pull request contains:

   - removal of the DMA_ERROR_CODE macro, replacing it with calls to
     -&gt;mapping_error so that the dma_map_ops instances are more self
     contained and can be shared across architectures (me)

   - removal of the -&gt;set_dma_mask method, which duplicates the
     -&gt;dma_capable one in terms of functionality, but requires more
     duplicate code.

   - various updates for the coherent dma pool and related arm code
     (Vladimir)

   - various smaller cleanups (me)"

ARM and x86 had duplicated versions of the dma_ops structure, the
only difference is that x86 hasn't wired up the set_dma_mask,
mmap, and get_sgtable ops yet.  On x86 all of them are identical
to the generic version, so they aren't needed but harmless.

All the symbols used only for xen_swiotlb_dma_ops can now be marked
static as well.

<title>xen/pvh*: Support &gt; 32 VCPUs at domain restore</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b64ffb8db4e310f77a01079ca752d946a8526b5</id>
<content type='text'>
When Xen restores a PVHVM or PVH guest, its shared_info only holds
up to 32 CPUs. The hypercall VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info allows
us to setup per-page areas for VCPUs. This means we can boot
PVH* guests with more than 32 VCPUs. During restore the per-cpu
structure is allocated freshly by the hypervisor (vcpu_info_mfn is
set to INVALID_MFN) so that the newly restored guest can make a
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall.

However, we end up triggering this condition in Xen:
/* Run this command on yourself or on other offline VCPUS. */
 if ( (v != current) &amp;&amp; !test_bit(_VPF_down, &amp;v-&gt;pause_flags) )

which means we are unable to setup the per-cpu VCPU structures
for running VCPUS. The Linux PV code paths makes this work by
iterating over cpu_possible in xen_vcpu_restore() with:

 1) is target CPU up (VCPUOP_is_up hypercall?)
 2) if yes, then VCPUOP_down to pause it
 3) VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info
 4) if it was down, then VCPUOP_up to bring it back up

With Xen commit 192df6f9122d ("xen/x86: allow HVM guests to use
hypercalls to bring up vCPUs") this is available for non-PV guests.
As such first check if VCPUOP_is_up is actually possible before
trying this dance.

As most of this dance code is done already in xen_vcpu_restore()
let's make it callable on PV, PVH and PVHVM.

A HVM domian booting generates around 200K (evtchn:qemu-dm xen-dyn)
interrupts,in a short period of time. All these evtchn:qemu-dm are bound
to VCPU 0, until irqbalance sees these IRQ and moves it to a different VCPU.
In one configuration, irqbalance runs every 10 seconds, which means
irqbalance doesn't get to see these burst of interrupts and doesn't
re-balance interrupts most of the time, making all evtchn:qemu-dm to be
processed by VCPU0. This cause VCPU0 to spend most of time processing
hardirq and very little time on softirq. Moreover, if dom0 kernel PREEMPTION
is disabled, VCPU0 never runs watchdog (process context), triggering a
softlockup detection code to panic.

Binding evtchn:qemu-dm to next online VCPU, will spread hardirq
processing evenly across different CPU. Later, irqbalance will try to balance
evtchn:qemu-dm, if required.
