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

ftrace: Fix kmemleak in unregister_ftrace_graph

2017-10-03T14:27:32Z

The trampoline allocated by function tracer was overwriten by function_graph tracer, and caused a memory leak. The save_global_trampoline should have saved the previous trampoline in register_ftrace_graph() and restored it in unregister_ftrace_graph(). But as it is implemented, save_global_trampoline was only used in unregister_ftrace_graph as default value 0, and it overwrote the previous trampoline's value. Causing the previous allocated trampoline to be lost. kmmeleak backtrace: kmemleak_vmalloc+0x77/0xc0 __vmalloc_node_range+0x1b5/0x2c0 module_alloc+0x7c/0xd0 arch_ftrace_update_trampoline+0xb5/0x290 ftrace_startup+0x78/0x210 register_ftrace_function+0x8b/0xd0 function_trace_init+0x4f/0x80 tracing_set_tracer+0xe6/0x170 tracing_set_trace_write+0x90/0xd0 __vfs_write+0x37/0x170 vfs_write+0xb2/0x1b0 SyS_write+0x55/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x67/0x180 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x6a [ Looking further into this, I found that this was left over from when the function and function graph tracers shared the same ftrace_ops. But in commit 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together"), the two were separated, and the save_global_trampoline no longer was necessary (and it may have been broken back then too). -- Steven Rostedt ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170912021454.5976-1-shuwang@redhat.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together") Signed-off-by: Shu Wang Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Stack tracing and RCU has been having issues with each other and lockdep has been pointing out constant problems. The changes have been going into the stack tracer, but it has been discovered that the problem isn't with the stack tracer itself, but it is with calling save_stack_trace() from within the internals of RCU. The stack tracer is the one that can trigger the issue the easiest, but examining the problem further, it could also happen from a WARN() in the wrong place, or even if an NMI happened in this area and it did an rcu_read_lock(). The critical area is where RCU is not watching. Which can happen while going to and from idle, or bringing up or taking down a CPU. The final fix was to put the protection in kernel_text_address() as it is the one that requires RCU to be watching while doing the stack trace. To make this work properly, Paul had to allow rcu_irq_enter() happen after rcu_nmi_enter(). This should have been done anyway, since an NMI can page fault (reading vmalloc area), and a page fault triggers rcu_irq_enter(). One patch is just a consolidation of code so that the fix only needed to be done in one location" * tag 'trace-v4.14-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Remove RCU work arounds from stack tracer extable: Enable RCU if it is not watching in kernel_text_address() extable: Consolidate *kernel_text_address() functions rcu: Allow for page faults in NMI handlers

blktrace: Fix potential deadlock between delete & sysfs ops

2017-09-25T14:56:05Z

The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex/1); lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that partition. The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count) on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code. The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being removed. Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect access to the blk_trace structure.

tracing: Remove RCU work arounds from stack tracer

2017-09-23T20:50:20Z

Currently the stack tracer calls rcu_irq_enter() to make sure RCU is watching when it records a stack trace. But if the stack tracer is triggered while tracing inside of a rcu_irq_enter(), calling rcu_irq_enter() unconditionally can be problematic. The reason for having rcu_irq_enter() in the first place has been fixed from within the saving of the stack trace code, and there's no reason for doing it in the stack tracer itself. Just remove it.

tracing: Fix trace_pipe behavior for instance traces

When reading data from trace_pipe, tracing_wait_pipe() performs a check to see if tracing has been turned off after some data was read. Currently, this check always looks at global trace state, but it should be checking the trace instance where trace_pipe is located at.
