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.

sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user
space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user
format, which is not needed for in-kernel users.
Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend
it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes.
This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out
of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in
the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and
sys_stat64 with vfs_stat.

Many "embedded" architectures provide CMDLINE_FORCE to allow the kernel
to override the command line provided by an inflexible bootloader.
However there is currrently no way for the kernel to override the
initramfs image provided by the bootloader meaning there are still ways
for bootloaders to make things difficult for us.
Fix this by introducing INITRAMFS_FORCE which can prevent the kernel
from loading the bootloader supplied image.
We use CMDLINE_FORCE (and its friend CMDLINE_EXTEND) to imply that the
system has an inflexible bootloader. This allow us to avoid presenting
this config option to users of systems where inflexible bootloaders
aren't usually a problem.

In OpenRISC we do not have a bootloader passed initrd, but the built in
initramfs does contain the /init and other binaries, including modules.
The previous commit 0886551480 ("initramfs: finish fput() before
accessing any binary from initramfs") made a change to only call fput()
if the bootloader initrd was available, this caused intermittent crashes
for OpenRISC.
This patch changes the fput() to happen unconditionally if any rootfs is
loaded. Also, I added some comments to make it a bit more clear why we
call unpack_to_rootfs() multiple times.

Commit 4a9d4b024a ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to
load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary.
This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs
and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which
happens very late after unpacking initramfs.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.
Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly. It
turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
will become < 0 when length is more than 2G. Furthermore, during
decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.
Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
32bits.

When initrd (compressed or not) is used, kernel report data corrupted with
/dev/ram0.
The root cause:
During initramfs checking, if it is initrd, it will be transferred to
/initrd.image with sys_write.
sys_write only support 2G-4K write, so if the initrd ram is more than
that, /initrd.image will not complete at all.
Add local xwrite to loop calling sys_write to workaround the problem.
Also need to use xwrite in write_buffer() to handle:
image is uncompressed cpio and there is one big file (>2G) in it.
unpack_to_rootfs ===> write_buffer ===> actions[]/do_copy
At the same time, we don't need to worry about sys_read/sys_write in
do_mounts_rd.c::crd_load. As decompressor will have fill/flush and local
buffer that is smaller than 2G.
Test with uncompressed initrd, and compressed ones with gz, bz2, lzma,xz,
lzop.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.
This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

The init/mount.o source files produce a number of sparse warnings of the
type:
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
expected char [noderef] <asn:1>*dev_name
got char *name
This is due to the syscalls expecting some of the arguments to be user
pointers but they are being passed as kernel pointers. This is harmless
but adds a lot of noise to a sparse build.
To limit the noise just disable the sparse checking in the relevant source
files, but still display a warning so that the user knows this has been
done.
Since the sparse checking has been disabled we can also remove the __user
__force casts that are scattered thru the source.

The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by
"__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start". Those symbols are defined in the
linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:
#define INIT_RAM_FS \
. = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .; \
*(.init.ramfs) \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .;
If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end"
symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the
System.map might look like:
0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start
00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end <-- odd address
At least on s390 this causes a problem:
Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses
(larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses. The compiler loads
the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction. This instruction sets
the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size
is one byte less than it should be:
0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>:
540a9c: eb cf f0 78 00 24 stmg %r12,%r15,120(%r15),
540aa2: c0 10 00 01 8a af larl %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start>
540aa8: c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e larl %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end>
(Instead of 5bcd05)
...
540abe: 1b c1 sr %r12,%r1
To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable
__initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file.
The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the
.init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the
initramfs. Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the
__initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

The unpack routine fails to handle the decompress_method() returning
unrecognised decompressor (compress_name == NULL). This results in the
routine looping eventually oopsing on an out of bounds memory access.
Note this bug is usually hidden, only triggering on trailing junk after
one or more correct compressed blocks. The case of the compressed archive
being complete junk is (by accident?) caught by the if (state != Reset)
check because state is initialised to Start, but not updated due to the
decompressor not having been called. Obviously if the junk is trailing a
correctly decompressed buffer, state == Reset from the previous call to
the decompressor.

Change cb6ff20807 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on
initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init
being a hardlink.
It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to
reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which
have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the
file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway
loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary
format.
My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things
for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on
nommu systems, although I would guess not.

Impact: More consistent behaviour, avoid policy in the kernel
Upgrade/downgrade initrd/initramfs decompression failure from
inconsistently a panic or a KERN_ALERT message to a KERN_EMERG event.
It is, however, possible do design a system which can recover from
this (using the kernel builtin code and/or the internal initramfs),
which means this is policy, not a technical necessity.
A good way to handle this would be to have a panic-level=X option, to
force a panic on a printk above a certain level. That is a separate
patch, however.

Support XIP on files unpacked from the initramfs image on NOMMU systems. This
simply requires the length of the file to be preset so that the ramfs fs can
attempt to garner sufficient contiguous storage to store the file (NOMMU mmap
can only map contiguous RAM).
All the other bits to do XIP on initramfs files are present:
(1) ramfs's truncate attempts to allocate a contiguous run of pages when a
file is truncated upwards from nothing.
(2) ramfs sets BDI on its files to indicate direct mapping is possible, and
that its files can be mapped for read, write and exec.
(3) NOMMU mmap() will use the above bits to determine that it can do XIP.
Possibly this needs better controls, because it will _always_ try and do
XIP.
One disadvantage of this very simplistic approach is that sufficient space
will be allocated to store the whole file, and not just the bit that would be
XIP'd. To deal with this, though, the initramfs unpacker would have to be
able to parse the file contents.

compressors.

When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows
mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the
initramfs.
For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the initramfs, this
is invaluable:
When building embedded application initramfs images, its nice to know when
the files were actually created during the build process - that makes it
easier to see what files were modified when so we can compare the files
that are being used on the image with the files used during the build
process. This might help (for example) to determine if the target system
has all the updated files you expect to see w/o having to check MD5s etc.
In our environment, the whole system runs off the initramfs partition, and
seeing the modified times of the shared libraries (for example) helps us
find bugs that may have been introduced by the build system incorrectly
propogating outdated shared libraries into the image.
Similarly, many of the initializion/configuration files in /etc might be
dynamically built by the build system, and knowing when they were modified
helps us sanity check whether the target system has the "latest" files
etc.
Finally, we might use last modified times to determine whether a hot fix
should be applied or not to the running ramfs.

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.
The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.
This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.
The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
- free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
allocations should be made
- free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed
The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call. This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().
Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image

For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this

Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this

without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks

People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are
probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.
One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.
