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.

Implement FETCH-OP atomic primitives, these are very similar to the
existing OP-RETURN primitives we already have, except they return the
value of the atomic variable _before_ modification.
This is especially useful for irreversible operations -- such as
bitops (because it becomes impossible to reconstruct the state prior
to modification).

asm/atomic.h doesn't really need asm/processor.h anymore. Everything
it uses has moved to other header files. So remove that include.
processor.h is a nasty header that includes lots of
other headers and makes it prone to include loops. Removing the
include here makes asm/atomic.h a "leaf" header that can
be safely included in most other headers.
The only fallout is in the lib/atomic tester which relied on
this implicit include. Give it an explicit include.
(the include is in ifdef because the user is also in ifdef)

In the "xchg" implementation, %ebx and %ecx don't need to be copied
into %eax and %edx respectively (this is only necessary when desiring
to only read the stored value).
In the "add_unless" implementation, swapping the use of %ecx and %esi
for passing arguments allows %esi to become an input only (i.e.
permitting the register to be re-used to address the same object
without reload).
In "{add,sub}_return", doing the initial read64 through the passed in
%ecx decreases a register dependency.
In "inc_not_zero", a branch can be eliminated by or-ing together the
two halves of the current (64-bit) value, and code size can be further
reduced by adjusting the arithmetic slightly.
v2: Undo the folding of "xchg" and "set".

Eric pointed out overly restrictive constraints in atomic64_set(), but
there are issues throughout the file. In the cited case, %ebx and %ecx
are inputs only (don't get changed by either of the two low level
implementations). This was also the case elsewhere.
Further in many cases early-clobber indicators were missing.
Finally, the previous implementation rolled a custom alternative
instruction macro from scratch, rather than using alternative_call()
(which was introduced with the commit that the description of the
change in question actually refers to). Adjusting has the benefit of
not hiding referenced symbols from the compiler, which however requires
them to be declared not just in the exporting source file (which, as a
desirable side effect, in turn allows that exporting file to become a
real 5-line stub).
This patch does not eliminate the overly restrictive memory clobbers,
however: Doing so would occasionally make the compiler set up a second
register for accessing the memory object (to satisfy the added "m"
constraint), and it's not clear which of the two non-optimal
alternatives is better.
v2: Re-do the declaration and exporting of the internal symbols.

atomic64_read() doesn't actually write anything (as far as the C
environment is concerned... the CPU does actually write but that's an
implementation quirk), so it should take a const pointer.
This does NOT mean that it is safe to use atomic64_read() on an object
in readonly storage (it will trap!)

This patch replaces atomic64_32.c with two assembly implementations,
one for 386/486 machines using pushf/cli/popf and one for 586+ machines
using cmpxchg8b.
The cmpxchg8b implementation provides the following advantages over the
current one:
1. Implements atomic64_add_unless, atomic64_dec_if_positive and
atomic64_inc_not_zero
2. Uses the ZF flag changed by cmpxchg8b instead of doing a comparison
3. Uses custom register calling conventions that reduce or eliminate
register moves to suit cmpxchg8b
4. Reads the initial value instead of using cmpxchg8b to do that.
Currently we use lock xaddl and movl, which seems the fastest.
5. Does not use the lock prefix for atomic64_set
64-bit writes are already atomic, so we don't need that.
We still need it for atomic64_read to avoid restoring a value
changed in the meantime.
6. Allocates registers as well or better than gcc
The 386 implementation provides support for 386 and 486 machines.
386/486 SMP is not supported (we dropped it), but such support can be
added easily if desired.
A pure assembly implementation is required due to the custom calling
conventions, and desire to use %ebp in atomic64_add_return (we need
7 registers...), as well as the ability to use pushf/popf in the 386
code without an intermediate pop/push.
The parameter names are changed to match the convention in atomic_64.h
Changes in v3 (due to rebasing to tip/x86/asm):
- Patches atomic64_32.h instead of atomic_32.h
- Uses the CALL alternative mechanism from commit
1b1d925818
Changes in v2:
- Merged 386 and cx8 support in the same patch
- 386 support now done in assembly, C code no longer used at all
- cmpxchg64 is used for atomic64_cmpxchg
- stop using macros, use one-line inline functions instead
- miscellanous changes and improvements
