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

asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype

2017-07-10T23:32:34Z

This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch 5), and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro to deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6). Patches 1 to 4 are prerequisites. Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of this patch series. Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2. Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of warnings when was included by . That is no longer relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was acked by a Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz. Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on "include/linux/bug.h" before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch 5. Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures due to circular dependencies. Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has array type. 1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype 2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment 3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)" 4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'" 5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into 6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of() This patch (of 6): The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its parameters. This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not already declared. Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid the warnings.

debug: Avoid setting BUGFLAG_WARNING twice

2017-04-14T08:20:13Z

Dan reported that his static checking complains about BUGFLAG_WARNING being set on both sides of the bitwise-or, it figures that that might've been an unintentional mistake. Since there are no architectures that implement __WARN_TAINT() (I converted them all to implement __WARN_FLAGS()), and all __WARN_FLAGS() implementations already set BUGFLAG_WARNING, we can remove the bit from BUGFLAG_TAINT() and make Dan's checker happy.

debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()

2017-03-30T07:37:20Z

Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra variable. Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have printk() statements prior to triggering the trap. Still, this saves a fair amount of text and some data: text data filename 10682460 4530992 defconfig-build/vmlinux.orig 10665111 4530096 defconfig-build/vmlinux.patched Suggested-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

lib/bug.c: use common WARN helper

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

The traceoff_on_warning option doesn't have any effect on s390, powerpc, arm64, parisc, and sh because there are two different types of WARN implementations: 1) The above mentioned architectures treat WARN() as a special case of a BUG() exception. They handle warnings in report_bug() in lib/bug.c. 2) All other architectures just call warn_slowpath_*() directly. Their warnings are handled in warn_slowpath_common() in kernel/panic.c. Support traceoff_on_warning on all architectures and prevent any future divergence by using a single common function to emit the warning. Also remove the '()' from '%pS()', because the parentheses look funky: [ 45.607629] WARNING: at /root/warn_mod/warn_mod.c:17 .init_dummy+0x20/0x40 [warn_mod]() Reported-by: Chunyu Hu Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf Acked-by: Heiko Carstens Tested-by: Prarit Bhargava Acked-by: Prarit Bhargava Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

bug: set warn variable before calling WARN()

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

This has hit me a couple of times already. I would be debugging code and the system would simply hang and then reboot. Finally, I found that the problem was caused by WARN_ON_ONCE() and friends. The macro WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) is defined as: static bool __section(.data.unlikely) __warned; int __ret_warn_once = !!(condition); if (unlikely(__ret_warn_once)) if (WARN_ON(!__warned)) __warned = true; unlikely(__ret_warn_once); Which looks great and all. But what I have hit, is an issue when WARN_ON() itself hits the same WARN_ON_ONCE() code. Because, the variable __warned is not yet set. Then it too calls WARN_ON() and that triggers the warning again. It keeps doing this until the stack is overflowed and the system crashes. By setting __warned first before calling WARN_ON() makes the original WARN_ON_ONCE() really only warn once, and not an infinite amount of times if the WARN_ON() also triggers the warning.

asm-generic: default BUG_ON(x) to if(x)BUG()

2016-03-01T21:25:12Z

When CONFIG_BUG is disabled, BUG_ON() will only evaluate the condition, but will not actually stop the current thread. GCC warns about a couple of BUG_ON() users where this actually leads to further undefined behavior: include/linux/ceph/osdmap.h: In function 'ceph_can_shift_osds': include/linux/ceph/osdmap.h:54:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function fs/ext4/inode.c: In function 'ext4_map_blocks': fs/ext4/inode.c:548:5: warning: 'retval' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c: In function 'prcmu_config_clkout': drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:762:10: warning: 'div_mask' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:769:13: warning: 'mask' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:757:7: warning: 'bits' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'univ8250_release_irq': drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:252:18: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:235:19: note: 'i' was declared here There is an obvious conflict of interest here: on the one hand, someone who disables CONFIG_BUG() will want the kernel to be as small as possible and doesn't care about printing error messages to a console that nobody looks at. On the other hand, running into a BUG_ON() condition means that something has gone wrong, and we probably want to also stop doing things that might cause data corruption. This patch picks the second choice, and changes the NOP to BUG(), which normally stops the execution of the current thread in some form (endless loop or a trap). This follows the logic we applied in a4b5d580e078 ("bug: Make BUG() always stop the machine"). For ARM multi_v7_defconfig, the size slightly increases: section CONFIG_BUG=y CONFIG_BUG=n CONFIG_BUG=n+patch .text 8320248 | 8180944 | 8207688 .rodata 3633720 | 3567144 | 3570648 __bug_table 32508 | --- | --- __modver 692 | 1584 | 2176 .init.text 558132 | 548300 | 550088 .exit.text 12380 | 12256 | 12380 .data 1016672 | 1016064 | 1016128 Total 14622556 | 14374510 | 14407326 So instead of saving 1.70% of the total image size, we only save 1.48% by turning off CONFIG_BUG, but in return we can ensure that we don't run into cases of uninitialized variable or return code uses when something bad happens. Aside from that, we significantly reduce the number of warnings in randconfig builds, which makes it easier to fix the warnings about other problems. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

bug: Make BUG() always stop the machine

2014-04-07T23:36:10Z

When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an infinite loop rather than a no-op. This avoids undefined behavior if execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then not returning). bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 43/10 up/down: 235/-98 (137) function old new delta umount_collect 119 138 +19 notify_change 306 324 +18 xstate_enable_boot_cpu 252 269 +17 kunmap 54 70 +16 balloon_page_dequeue 112 126 +14 mm_take_all_locks 223 233 +10 list_lru_walk_node 143 152 +9 vma_adjust 1059 1067 +8 pcpu_setup_first_chunk 1130 1138 +8 mm_drop_all_locks 143 151 +8 ns_capable 55 62 +7 anon_transport_class_unregister 8 15 +7 srcu_init_notifier_head 35 41 +6 shrink_dcache_for_umount 174 180 +6 kunmap_high 99 105 +6 end_page_writeback 43 49 +6 do_exit 1339 1345 +6 __kfifo_dma_out_prepare_r 86 92 +6 __kfifo_dma_in_prepare_r 90 96 +6 fixup_user_fault 120 125 +5 repair_env_string 73 77 +4 read_cache_pages_invalidate_page 56 60 +4 isolate_lru_pages.isra 142 146 +4 do_notify_parent_cldstop 255 259 +4 cpu_init 370 374 +4 utimes_common 270 272 +2 tasklet_hi_action 91 93 +2 tasklet_action 91 93 +2 set_pte_vaddr 46 48 +2 find_get_pages_tag 202 204 +2 early_iounmap 185 187 +2 __native_set_fixmap 36 38 +2 __get_user_pages 822 824 +2 __early_ioremap 299 301 +2 yield_task_stop 1 2 +1 tick_resume 37 38 +1 switched_to_stop 1 2 +1 switched_to_idle 1 2 +1 prio_changed_stop 1 2 +1 prio_changed_idle 1 2 +1 pm_qos_power_read 111 112 +1 arch_cpu_idle_dead 1 2 +1 __insert_vmap_area 140 141 +1 sys_renameat 614 612 -2 mm_fault_error 297 295 -2 SyS_renameat 614 612 -2 sys_linkat 416 413 -3 SyS_linkat 416 413 -3 chmod_common 129 122 -7 proc_cap_handler 240 225 -15 __schedule 849 831 -18 sys_madvise 1077 1054 -23 SyS_madvise 1077 1054 -23 Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
