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.

*
* Allow an NFS filesystem to be mounted as root. The way this works is:
* (1) Use the IP autoconfig mechanism to set local IP addresses and routes.
* (2) Construct the device string and the options string using DHCP
* option 17 and/or kernel command line options.
* (3) When mount_root() sets up the root file system, pass these strings
* to the NFS client's regular mount interface via sys_mount().
*
*
* Changes:
*
* Alan Cox : Removed get_address name clash with FPU.
* Alan Cox : Reformatted a bit.
* Gero Kuhlmann : Code cleanup
* Michael Rausch : Fixed recognition of an incoming RARP answer.
* Martin Mares : (2.0) Auto-configuration via BOOTP supported.
* Martin Mares : Manual selection of interface & BOOTP/RARP.
* Martin Mares : Using network routes instead of host routes,
* allowing the default configuration to be used
* for normal operation of the host.
* Martin Mares : Randomized timer with exponential backoff
* installed to minimize network congestion.
* Martin Mares : Code cleanup.
* Martin Mares : (2.1) BOOTP and RARP made configuration options.
* Martin Mares : Server hostname generation fixed.
* Gerd Knorr : Fixed wired inode handling
* Martin Mares : (2.2) "0.0.0.0" addresses from command line ignored.
* Martin Mares : RARP replies not tested for server address.
* Gero Kuhlmann : (2.3) Some bug fixes and code cleanup again (please
* send me your new patches _before_ bothering
* Linus so that I don' always have to cleanup
* _afterwards_ - thanks)
* Gero Kuhlmann : Last changes of Martin Mares undone.
* Gero Kuhlmann : RARP replies are tested for specified server
* again. However, it's now possible to have
* different RARP and NFS servers.
* Gero Kuhlmann : "0.0.0.0" addresses from command line are
* now mapped to INADDR_NONE.
* Gero Kuhlmann : Fixed a bug which prevented BOOTP path name
* from being used (thanks to Leo Spiekman)
* Andy Walker : Allow to specify the NFS server in nfs_root
* without giving a path name
* Swen Thümmler : Allow to specify the NFS options in nfs_root
* without giving a path name. Fix BOOTP request
* for domainname (domainname is NIS domain, not
* DNS domain!). Skip dummy devices for BOOTP.
* Jacek Zapala : Fixed a bug which prevented server-ip address
* from nfsroot parameter from being used.
* Olaf Kirch : Adapted to new NFS code.
* Jakub Jelinek : Free used code segment.
* Marko Kohtala : Fixed some bugs.
* Martin Mares : Debug message cleanup
* Martin Mares : Changed to use the new generic IP layer autoconfig
* code. BOOTP and RARP moved there.
* Martin Mares : Default path now contains host name instead of
* host IP address (but host name defaults to IP
* address anyway).
* Martin Mares : Use root_server_addr appropriately during setup.
* Martin Mares : Rewrote parameter parsing, now hopefully giving
* correct overriding.
* Trond Myklebust : Add in preliminary support for NFSv3 and TCP.
* Fix bug in root_nfs_addr(). nfs_data.namlen
* is NOT for the length of the hostname.
* Hua Qin : Support for mounting root file system via
* NFS over TCP.
* Fabian Frederick: Option parser rebuilt (using parser lib)
* Chuck Lever : Use super.c's text-based mount option parsing
* Chuck Lever : Add "nfsrootdebug".

NFS: NFSROOT should default to "proto=udp" There have been a number of recent reports that NFSROOT is no longer working with default mount options, but fails only with certain NICs. Brian Downing <bdowning@lavos.net> bisected to commit 56463e50 "NFS: Use super.c for NFSROOT mount option parsing". Among other things, this commit changes the default mount options for NFSROOT to use TCP instead of UDP as the underlying transport. TCP seems less able to deal with NICs that are slow to initialize. The system logs that have accompanied reports of problems all show that NFSROOT attempts to establish a TCP connection before the NIC is fully initialized, and thus the TCP connection attempt fails. When a TCP connection attempt fails during a mount operation, the NFS stack needs to fail the operation. Usually user space knows how and when to retry it. The network layer does not report a distinct error code for this particular failure mode. Thus, there isn't a clean way for the RPC client to see that it needs to retry in this case, but not in others. Because NFSROOT is used in some environments where it is not possible to update the kernel command line to specify "udp", the proper thing to do is change NFSROOT to use UDP by default, as it did before commit 56463e50. To make it easier to see how to change default mount options for NFSROOT and to distinguish default settings from mandatory settings, I've adjusted a couple of areas to document the specifics. root_nfs_cat() is also modified to deal with commas properly when concatenating strings containing mount option lists. This keeps root_nfs_cat() call sites simpler, now that we may be concatenating multiple mount option strings.

To make it easier to see how to change default mount options for NFSROOT and to distinguish default settings from mandatory settings, I've adjusted a couple of areas to document the specifics. root_nfs_cat() is also modified to deal with commas properly when concatenating strings containing mount option lists. This keeps root_nfs_cat() call sites simpler, now that we may be concatenating multiple mount option strings.
