staging: comedi: move out of staging directory

2021-04-15T07:26:25Z

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its lifetime to much much earlier. It's been polished and buffed and there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real" portion of the kernel. So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there. Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this happen.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: comedi: split out PCI support into new module

2014-11-07T17:24:33Z

Setting the `CONFIG_COMEDI_PCI_DRIVERS` kernel configuration option makes the main "comedi" module depend on the PCI support in the kernel. That's not that big a deal since PCI support in the kernel is either built into the kernel or is absent, and is not in a separate module. Still, not all low-level Comedi drivers need PCI support, so we could save a bit of space by not including it. The Comedi PCI support functions are all in "comedi_pci.c". Turn it into a separate module so the support code doesn't have to be loaded unnecessarily. Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott Reviewed-by: H Hartley Sweeten Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: comedi: split out USB support into new module

2014-11-07T17:24:33Z

Setting the `CONFIG_COMEDI_USB_DRIVERS` kernel configuration option makes the main "comedi" module depend on the "usbcore" module. But perhaps the machine has no USB controllers (or they have been disabled), in which case the "usbcore" module may have been pulled in unnecessarily. Only a few low-level Comedi drivers require USB support. The Comedi USB support functions are all in "comedi_usb.c". Turn it into a separate module so we don't have to pull in the "usbcore" and "usb_common" modules unnecessarily.

Remove this module parameter and use the CONFIG_COMEDI_DEBUG option to enable normal kernel debugging with -DDEBUG flag. Remove the #undef DEBUG from all the comedi source files so they will honour the -DDEBUG flag. Signed-off-by: H Hartley Sweeten Reviewed-by: Ian Abbott Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: comedi: conditionally build in PCMCIA driver support

2013-01-31T09:38:10Z

Separate the comedi_pcmcia_* functions out of drivers.c into a new source file, comedi_pcmcia.c. This allows conditionally building support for comedi pcmcia drivers into the comedi core without the need for the #if'defery. Fix the Kconfig and Makefile appropriately. Group all the comedi_pcmcia_* prototypes into one place in comedidev.h. Protect these prototypes with an #ifdef so that building a comedi pcmcia driver without PCMCIA support will cause a build error. This will normally not happen as long as the comedi pcmcia driver is placed in the proper group in the Kconfig. Remove the #include from drivers.c. These includes are only needed by the comedi pcmcia driver support code and the pcmcia drivers. The include should occur in those files.

Separate the comedi_pci_* functions out of drivers.c into a new source file, comedi_pci.c. This allows conditionally building support for comedi PCI drivers into the comedi core. Fix the Kconfig and Makefile appropriately. Group all the comedi_pci_* prototypes and related defines into one place in comedidev.h. Protect these prototypes with an #ifdef and provide some dummy functions so that the mixed ISA/PCI comedi drivers will still build correctly. Remove the #include from comedidev.h and drivers.c.
