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.

ktest: Make sure wait_for_input does honor the timeout
ktest: Fix while loop in wait_for_input
The function wait_for_input takes in a timeout, and even has a default
timeout. But if for some reason the STDIN descriptor keeps sending in data,
the function will never time out. The timout is to wait for the data from
the passed in file descriptor, not for STDIN. Adding a test in the case
where there's no data from the passed in file descriptor that checks to see
if the timeout passed, will ensure that it will timeout properly even if
there's input in STDIN.

The run_command function was changed to use the wait_for_input function to
allow having a timeout if the command to run takes too much time. There was
a bug in the wait_for_input where it could end up going into an infinite
loop. There's two issues here. One is that the return value of the sysread
wasn't used for the write (to write a proper size), and that it should
continue processing the passed in file descriptor too even if there was
input. There was no check for error, if for some reason STDIN returned an
error, the function would go into an infinite loop and never exit.

When ktest runs the console program as a child process, the parent and
child share the same tty for stdin and stderr. This is problematic when
using a libvirt target. The "virsh console" program makes a lot of
changes to the tty settings, making ktest's output hard to read
(carriage returns don't work). After ktest exits, the terminal is
unusable (CRs broken, stdin isn't echoed).
I think the best way to fix this issue would be to create a
pseudoterminal (pty pair) so the child process would have a dedicated
tty, and then use pipes to connect the two ttys. I'm not sure if that's
overkill, but it's far beyond my current Perl abilities.
This patch is a much easier way to (partially) fix this issue. It saves
the tty settings before opening the console and restores them after
closing it. There are still a few places where ktest prints mangled
output while the console is open, but the output is much more legible
overall, and the terminal works just fine after ktest exits.

Tests can set options that override the default ones. But if a test
tries to undefine a default option, it is simply ignored and the
default option stays as is.
For example, if you want to have a test that defines no MIN_CONFIG
then the test should be able to do that with:
TEST_START
MIN_CONFIG =
Which should make MIN_CONFIG not defined for that test. But the way
the code currently works, undefined options in tests are dropped.
This is because the NULL options are evaluated during the reading of
the config file and since one can disable default options in the default
section with this method, it is evaluated there (the option turns to a
undef). But undef options in the test section mean to use the default
option.
To fix this, keep the empty string in the option during the reading
of the config file, and then evaluate it when running the test. This
will allow tests to null out default options.

it is disabled, but changes the hash value to be that of the
line "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". Unfortunately, the make_min_config
test only checks to see if the config is removed. It now needs to
check if the config is in the hash and not set to be disabled.

I never liked the way config-bisect worked. I would assume the bad config
had some config that broke the system. But it would not work if the bad
config just happened to be missing something that the good config had.
I rewrote the config-bisect to do this properly. It does a diff of the two
configs, and sets half of the configs that are in one and not the other.
The way it works is that when it "sets", it really just makes one copy
what the other has. That is, a "set" can be setting a:
# CONFIG_FOO is not set
Basically, it looks at the differences between the two files and makes
them similar until it comes down to one config that makes it work or
not work depending on if it is set or not.
Note, if more than one config change makes the bad config not work, it
will only find one of them. But this is true with all bisect logic.

You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
able to use parts of it for other variables.
For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
your warnings file with like this:
WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}
But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
With the eval command we can, by adding:
WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/
Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.

Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called
${KERNEL_VERSION}. This will embed the current kernel version into
the variable. For example:
WARNINGS_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-${KERNEL_VERSION}
If the current version is v3.8 then the WARNINGS_FILE will become
${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-v3.8

The sample.conf file needs to document all available options.
With the new CLOSE_CONSOE_SIGNAL option, it too needs to be
document.

Currently ktest sends SIGINT to terminate the console.
However, there are consoles which do not exit by this signal, for example,
in my case, "virsh console <guest OS>". In such case, ktest is blocked in
close_console(). It prevents this automate test.
This patch adds new option CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL which mean the
signal to terminate the console. Since its default value is "INT",
the original behavior isn't changed.

H8/300 has been dead for several years, and the kernel for it
has not compiled for ages. Drop support for it.

Different tests may use a different machine. In such cases, we need to
try to get the current grub menu index. If the same grub menu is used
for two different machines, it may not be at the same index on the
second machine. A search for the index must be performed again.

To save connecting and searching for a given grub menu for each test,
ktest.pl will cache the grub number it found. The problem is that
different tests might use a different grub menu, but ktest.pl will
ignore it.
Instead, have ktest.pl check if the grub menu it used to cache the
content is the same as when it grabbed the menu. If not, grab it again,
otherwise just return the cached value.

The index of a line where a warning is tested can be returned
differently on different versions of gcc (or same version compiled
differently). That is, a tab + space can give different results. This
causes the warning check to produce a false positive. Removing the
index from the check fixes this issue.

The reboot just wants to get to the next kernel. But if a warning (Call
Trace) appears, the monitor will report an error, and the reboot will
think something went wrong and power cycle the box, even though we
successfully made it to the next kernel.
Ignore warnings during the reboot until we get to the next kernel. It
will still timeout if we never get to the next kernel and then a power
cycle will happen. That's what we want it to do.

Sometimes when a test kernel passed fine, but on reboot it crashed,
ktest could get stuck and not proceed. This would be frustrating if you
let a test run overnight to find out the next morning that it was stuck
on the first test.
To fix this, I made reboot check for the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE. If the
line was not detected, then it would power cycle the box.
What it didn't cover was if the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE wasn't defined or if
a 'good' kernel did not display the line. Instead have it search for the
Linux banner "Linux version". The reboot just needs to get to the start
of the next kernel, it does not need to test if the next kernel makes it
to a boot prompt.
After we find the next kernel has booted, then we just wait for either
the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE to appear or the timeout.
