The SPDX-License-Identifiers are growing in the kernel and so grow
expression failures and license IDs are used which have no corresponding
license text file in the LICENSES directory.
Add a script which gathers information from the LICENSES directory,
i.e. the various tags in the licenses and exception files and then scans
either input from stdin, which it treats as a single file or if started
without arguments it scans the full kernel tree.
It checks whether the license expression syntax is correct and also
validates whether the license identifiers used in the expressions are
available in the LICENSES files.
scripts/spdxcheck.py -h
usage: spdxcheck.py [-h] [-m MAXLINES] [-v] [path [path ...]]
SPDX expression checker
positional arguments:
path Check path or file. If not given full git tree scan.
For stdin use "-"
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-m MAXLINES, --maxlines MAXLINES
Maximum number of lines to scan in a file. Default 15
-v, --verbose Verbose statistics output

That's a full tree sweep on my laptop. Note, this runs single threaded.
It scans by default the first 15 lines for a SPDX identifier where the
current max inside a top comment is at line 10. But that's going to be
faster once the identifiers are all in the first two lines as documented.
The python wizards will surely know how to do that smarter and faster, but
its at least better than no tool at all.

The infiniband code uses a variant of the OpenIB license. This license is
BSD-2-Clause with the MIT disclaimer. The linux kernel uses this license
extensively throughout the driver subsystem since 2005. Note that the
OpenIB.org license is a true match to BSD-2-Clause.

Quite some files have been flagged with the new GPL-2.0-only and
GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers which replace the original GPL-2.0 and
GPL-2.0+ identifiers in the SPDX license identifier specification, but the
identifiers are not mentioned as valid in the GPL-2.0 license file.
Add them to the license file and to the Linux-syscall-note exception to
make everything consistent again.

Mike Rapoport says:
These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an
initial index and link it to the top level documentation.
There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
paragraph wrapping changes.
I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
necessary.

I fell into the trap of having set up function tracer with a very

Small tweaks to the Maintainer PGP guide:
- Use --quick-addkey command that is compatible between GnuPG-2.2 and
GnuPG-2.1 (which many people still have)
- Add a note about the Nitrokey program
- Warn that some devices can't change the passphrase before there are
keys on the card (specifically, Nitrokeys)
- Link to the GnuPG wiki page about gpg-agent forwarding over ssh
- Tell git to use gpgv2 instead of legacy gpgv when verifying signed
tags or commits

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"This is a set of minor (and safe changes) that didn't make the initial
pull request plus some bug fixes.
The status handling code is actually a running regression from the
previous merge window which had an incomplete fix (now reverted) and
most of the remaining bug fixes are for problems older than the
current merge window"
[ Side note: this merge also takes the base kernel git repository to 6+
million objects for the first time. Technically we hit it a couple of
merges ago already if you count all the tag objects, but now it
reaches 6M+ objects reachable from HEAD.
I was joking around that that's when I should switch to 5.0, because
3.0 happened at the 2M mark, and 4.0 happened at 4M objects. But
probably not, even if numerology is about as good a reason as any.
