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

x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang

2017-09-23T13:06:20Z

For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame pointer is set up first: static inline void foo() { register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP); asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp)) } Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer. The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global variable. It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC version. With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as before: defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp before 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940 after 9820389 9491555 8816046 8516940 With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed. It now changes its behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global. That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before inserting *any* inline asm. (Therefore, listing the variable as an output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.) It's a bit overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible. And in fact, there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled: defconfig defconfig-nofp distro distro-nofp before 9796316 9468236 9076191 8790305 after 9796957 9464267 9076381 8785949 So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for older versions.

objtool: Handle another GCC stack pointer adjustment bug

The kbuild bot reported the following warning with GCC 4.4 and a randconfig: net/socket.o: warning: objtool: compat_sock_ioctl()+0x1083: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+160 cfa2=-1+0 This is caused by another GCC non-optimization, where it backs up and restores the stack pointer for no apparent reason: 2f91: 48 89 e0 mov %rsp,%rax 2f94: 4c 89 e7 mov %r12,%rdi 2f97: 4c 89 f6 mov %r14,%rsi 2f9a: ba 20 00 00 00 mov $0x20,%edx 2f9f: 48 89 c4 mov %rax,%rsp This issue would have been happily ignored before the following commit: dd88a0a0c861 ("objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug") But now that objtool is paying attention to such stack pointer writes to/from a register, it needs to understand them properly. In this case that means recognizing that the "mov %rsp, %rax" instruction is potentially a backup of the stack pointer.

objtool: Fix object file corruption

2017-09-15T09:31:57Z

Arnd Bergmann reported that a randconfig build was failing with the following link error: built-in.o: member arch/x86/kernel/time.o in archive is not an object It turns out the link failed because the time.o file had been corrupted by objtool: nm: arch/x86/kernel/time.o: File format not recognized In certain rare cases, when a .o file's ORC table is very small, the .data section size doesn't change because it's page aligned. Because all the existing sections haven't changed size, libelf doesn't detect any section header changes, and so it doesn't update the section header table properly. Instead it writes junk in the section header entries for the new ORC sections. Make sure libelf properly updates the section header table by setting the ELF_F_DIRTY flag in the top level elf struct.

objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug

Arnd Bergmann reported the following warning with GCC 7.1.1: fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x139: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+88 cfa2=7+96 And the kbuild robot reported the following warnings with GCC 5.4.1: fs/fs_pin.o: warning: objtool: pin_kill()+0x182: return with modified stack frame fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_alloc_inode()+0x140: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+120 cfa2=7+128 fs/quota/dquot.o: warning: objtool: dquot_free_inode()+0x11a: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+112 cfa2=7+120 Those warnings are caused by an unusual GCC non-optimization where it uses an intermediate register to adjust the stack pointer. It does: lea 0x8(%rsp), %rcx ... mov %rcx, %rsp Instead of the obvious: add $0x8, %rsp It makes no sense to use an intermediate register, so I opened a GCC bug to track it: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81813 But it's not exactly a high-priority bug and it looks like we'll be stuck with this issue for a while. So for now we have to track register values when they're loaded with stack pointer offsets. This is kind of a big workaround for a tiny problem, but c'est la vie. I hope to eventually create a GCC plugin to implement a big chunk of objtool's functionality. Hopefully at that point we'll be able to remove of a lot of these GCC-isms from the objtool code.
