75acacb658 NFSD: Trace boot verifier resets
According to commit bbf2f09883 ("nfsd: Reset the boot verifier on
all write I/O errors"), the Linux NFS server forces all clients to
resend pending unstable writes if any server-side write or commit
operation encounters an error (say, ENOSPC). This is a rare and
quite exceptional event that could require administrative recovery
action, so it should be made trace-able. Example trace event:

nfsd-938   [002]  7174.945558: nfsd_writeverf_reset: boot_time=        61cc920d xid=0xdcd62036 error=-28 new verifier=0x08aecc6142515904

8791545eda NFS: Move NFS protocol display macros to global header
Refactor: surface useful show_ macros so they can be shared between
the client and server trace code.

Additional clean up:
- Housekeeping: ensure the correct #include files are pulled in
  and add proper TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM where they are missing
- Use a consistent naming scheme for the helpers
- Store values to be displayed symbolically as unsigned long, as
  that is the type that the __print_yada() functions take

3caf91757c nfsd: rename delegation related tracepoints to make them less confusing
Now when a read delegation is given, two delegation related traces
will be printed:

    nfsd_deleg_open: client 5f45b854:e6058001 stateid 00000030:00000001
    nfsd_deleg_none: client 5f45b854:e6058001 stateid 0000002f:00000001

Although the intention is to let developers know two stateid are
returned, the traces are confusing about whether or not a read delegation
is handled out. So renaming trace_nfsd_deleg_none() to trace_nfsd_open()
and trace_nfsd_deleg_open() to trace_nfsd_deleg_read() to make
the intension clearer.

The patched traces will be:

    nfsd_deleg_read: client 5f48a967:b55b21cd stateid 00000003:00000001
    nfsd_open: client 5f48a967:b55b21cd stateid 00000002:00000001

65294c1f2c nfsd: add a new struct file caching facility to nfsd
Currently, NFSv2/3 reads and writes have to open a file, do the read or
write and then close it again for each RPC. This is highly inefficient,
especially when the underlying filesystem has a relatively slow open
routine.

This patch adds a new open file cache to knfsd. Rather than doing an
open for each RPC, the read/write handlers can call into this cache to
see if there is one already there for the correct filehandle and
NFS_MAY_READ/WRITE flags.

If there isn't an entry, then we create a new one and attempt to
perform the open. If there is, then we wait until the entry is fully
instantiated and return it if it is at the end of the wait. If it's
not, then we attempt to take over construction.

Since the main goal is to speed up NFSv2/3 I/O, we don't want to
close these files on last put of these objects. We need to keep them
around for a little while since we never know when the next READ/WRITE
will come in.

Cache entries have a hardcoded 1s timeout, and we have a recurring
workqueue job that walks the cache and purges any entries that have
expired.

Byte swapping and knfsd_fh_hash() are not available in "trace-cmd
report", where the print format string is actually used. These
data transformations have to be done during the TP_fast_assign step.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
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.
