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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

 "These include a usual ACPICA code update (this time to upstream
  revision 20170728), a fix for a boot crash on some systems with
  Thunderbolt devices connected at boot time, a rework of the handling
  of PCI bridges when setting up device wakeup, new support for Apple
  device properties, support for DMA configurations reported via ACPI on
  ARM64, APEI-related updates, ACPI EC driver updates and assorted minor
  modifications in several places.

  Specifics:

   - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20170728
     including:
      * Alias operator handling update (Bob Moore).
      * Deferred resolution of reference package elements (Bob Moore).
      * Support for the _DMA method in walk resources (Bob Moore).
      * Tables handling update and support for deferred table
        verification (Lv Zheng).
      * Update of SMMU models for IORT (Robin Murphy).
      * Compiler and disassembler updates (Alex James, Erik Schmauss,
        Ganapatrao Kulkarni, James Morse).
      * Tools updates (Erik Schmauss, Lv Zheng).
      * Assorted minor fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Kees Cook, Lv
        Zheng, Shao Ming).

   - Rework the initialization of non-wakeup GPEs with method handlers
     in order to address a boot crash on some systems with Thunderbolt
     devices connected at boot time where we miss an early hotplug event
     due to a delay in GPE enabling (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Rework the handling of PCI bridges when setting up ACPI-based
     device wakeup in order to avoid disabling wakeup for bridges
     prematurely (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Consolidate Apple DMI checks throughout the tree, add support for
     Apple device properties to the device properties framework and use
     these properties for the handling of I2C and SPI devices on Apple
     systems (Lukas Wunner).

   - Add support for _DMA to the ACPI-based device properties lookup
     code and make it possible to use the information from there to
     configure DMA regions on ARM64 systems (Lorenzo Pieralisi).

   - Fix several issues in the APEI code, add support for exporting the
     BERT error region over sysfs and update APEI MAINTAINERS entry with
     reviewers information (Borislav Petkov, Dongjiu Geng, Loc Ho, Punit
     Agrawal, Tony Luck, Yazen Ghannam).

   - Fix a potential initialization ordering issue in the ACPI EC driver
     and clean it up somewhat (Lv Zheng).

   - Update the ACPI SPCR driver to extend the existing XGENE 8250
     workaround in it to a new platform (m400) and to work around an
     Xgene UART clock issue (Graeme Gregory).

   - Add a new utility function to the ACPI core to support using ACPI
     OEM ID / OEM Table ID / Revision for system identification in
     blacklisting or similar and switch over the existing code already
     using this information to this new interface (Toshi Kani).

   - Fix an xpower PMIC issue related to GPADC reads that always return
     0 without extra pin manipulations (Hans de Goede).

   - Add statements to print debug messages in a couple of places in the
     ACPI core for easier diagnostics (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the ACPI processor driver slightly (Colin Ian King, Hanjun
     Guo).

   - Clean up the ACPI x86 boot code somewhat (Andy Shevchenko).

   - Add a quirk for Dell OptiPlex 9020M to the ACPI backlight driver
     (Alex Hung).

   - Assorted fixes, cleanups and updates related to ACPI (Amitoj Kaur
     Chawla, Bhumika Goyal, Frank Rowand, Jean Delvare, Punit Agrawal,
     Ronald Tschalär, Sumeet Pawnikar)"

There is a mistake here where we accidentally use sizeof(TB_CFG_PKG_RESET)
instead of just TB_CFG_PKG_RESET.  The size of an int is 4 so it's the
same as TB_CFG_PKG_NOTIFY_ACK.

If secure authentication of a devices fails, either because the device
already has another key uploaded, or there is some other error sending
challenge to the device, and the user only wants to approve the device
just once (without a new key being uploaded to the device) the current
implementation does not allow this because the key cannot be cleared
once set even if we allow it to be changed.

Make this scenario possible and allow clearing the key by writing
empty string to the key sysfs file.

Some Alpine Ridge LP DROMs (there might be others) erroneusly list more
ports than the controller actually has. Most probably because DROM of
the full Dual/Single port Thunderbolt controller was reused for LP
version. The current DROM parser does not check the upper bound thus it
leads to crash when sw-&gt;ports[] is accessed over bounds:

Fix this by making sure we only enumerate DROM port entries the hardware
actually has.

We're about to amend ACPI bus scan with DMI checks whether we're running
on a Mac to support Apple device properties in AML.  The DMI checks are
performed for every single device, adding overhead for everything x86
that isn't Apple, which is the majority.  Rafael and Andy therefore
request to perform the DMI match only once and cache the result.

Outside of ACPI various other Apple DMI checks exist and it seems
reasonable to use the cached value there as well.  Rafael, Andy and
Darren suggest performing the DMI check in arch code and making it
available with a header in include/linux/platform_data/x86/.

To this end, add early_platform_quirks() to arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c
to perform the DMI check and invoke it from setup_arch().  Switch over
all existing Apple DMI checks, thereby fixing two deficiencies:

* They are now #defined to false on non-x86 arches and can thus be
  optimized away if they're located in cross-arch code.

* Some of them only match "Apple Inc." but not "Apple Computer, Inc.",
  which is used by BIOSes released between January 2006 (when the first
  x86 Macs started shipping) and January 2007 (when the company name
  changed upon introduction of the iPhone).
