Evaluating cc-name invokes the compiler every time even when you are
not compiling anything, like 'make help'. This is not efficient.

The compiler type has been already detected in the Kconfig stage.
Use CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG, instead.

Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
  and bring them up to date.

  The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
  (i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
  GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
  reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.

  Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
  which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
  significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
  only guarding a few non-attribute macros).

  This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
  kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
  have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
  more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.

  The series was triggered due to the move to gcc &gt;= 4.6. In turn, this
  series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
  __has_attribute on its own.

  Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
  applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
  unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"

* tag 'compiler-attributes-for-linus-4.20-rc1' of https://github.com/ojeda/linux:
  compiler-gcc: remove comment about gcc 4.5 from unreachable()
  compiler.h: update definition of unreachable()

Now that Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) have been entirely removed[1]
from the kernel, enable the VLA warning globally. The only exceptions
to this are the KASan an UBSan tests which are explicitly checking that
VLAs trigger their respective tests.

<content type='text'>
Commit 217c3e019675 ("disable stringop truncation warnings for now")
disabled -Wstringop-truncation since it was too noisy.

Having __nonstring available allows us to let GCC know that a string
is not meant to be NUL-terminated, which helps suppressing some
-Wstringop-truncation warnings.

Note that using __nonstring actually triggers other warnings
(-Wstringop-overflow, which is on by default) which may be real
problems. Therefore, cleaning up -Wstringop-truncation warnings
also buys us the ability to uncover further potential problems.

To encourage the use of __nonstring, we put the warning back at W=1.
In the future, if we end up with a fairly warning-free tree,
we might want to enable it by default.

gcc-8 reports many -Wpacked-not-aligned warnings. The below are some
examples.

./include/linux/ceph/msgr.h:67:1: warning: alignment 1 of 'struct
ceph_entity_addr' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
 } __attribute__ ((packed));

./include/linux/ceph/msgr.h:67:1: warning: alignment 1 of 'struct

./include/linux/ceph/msgr.h:67:1: warning: alignment 1 of 'struct
ceph_entity_addr' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
 } __attribute__ ((packed));

This patch suppresses this kind of warnings for default setting.

<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.

Since commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to
cc-option to support clang"), cc-option and friends work nicely
for clang.

However, -Wno-unknown-warning-option makes clang happy with any
unknown warning options even if -Werror is specified.

Once -Wno-unknown-warning-option is added, any succeeding call of
cc-disable-warning is evaluated positive, then unknown warning
options are accepted.  This should be dropped.

Previously the warnings were added back at the W=1 level and above, this
now turns them on again by default, assuming that we have addressed all
warnings and again have a clean build for v4.10.

I found a number of new warnings in linux-next already and submitted
bugfixes for those.  Hopefully they are caught by the 0day builder in
the future as soon as this patch is merged.
