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

perf tools: Unwind properly location after REJECT

2017-10-27T14:42:51Z

We have defined YY_USER_ACTION to keep trace of the column location during events parsing, but we need to clean it up when we call REJECT. When REJECT is called, the lexer shrinks the text and re-runs the matching, so we need to address it in resuming the previous location value to keep it correct for error display, like: Before: $ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core,krava/' true event syntax error: '..38;5;9:mi=01;05;37;41:su=48;5;196;38;5;15:sg=48;5;1\ 1;38;5;16:ca=48;5;196;38;5;226:tw=48;5;10;38;5;16:ow=48;5;10;38;5;21:st=48;5;\ 21;38;50 �' \___ unknown term After: $ ./perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core,krava/' true event syntax error: '..cuted.core,krava/' \___ unknown term Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Tested-by: Andi Kleen Cc: Changbin Du Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jin Yao Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-vug2hchlny30jfsfrumbym26@git.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171009140944.GD28623@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf symbols: Fix memory corruption because of zero length symbols

2017-10-25T16:01:09Z

Perf top is often crashing at very random locations on powerpc. After investigating, I found the crash only happens when sample is of zero length symbol. Powerpc kernel has many such symbols which does not contain length details in vmlinux binary and thus start and end addresses of such symbols are same. Structure struct sym_hist { u64 nr_samples; u64 period; struct sym_hist_entry addr[0]; }; has last member 'addr[]' of size zero. 'addr[]' is an array of addresses that belongs to one symbol (function). If function consist of 100 instructions, 'addr' points to an array of 100 'struct sym_hist_entry' elements. For zero length symbol, it points to the *empty* array, i.e. no members in the array and thus offset 0 is also invalid for such array. static int __symbol__inc_addr_samples(...) { ... offset = addr - sym->start; h = annotation__histogram(notes, evidx); h->nr_samples++; h->addr[offset].nr_samples++; h->period += sample->period; h->addr[offset].period += sample->period; ... } Here, when 'addr' is same as 'sym->start', 'offset' becomes 0, which is valid for normal symbols but *invalid* for zero length symbols and thus updating h->addr[offset] causes memory corruption. Fix this by adding one dummy element for zero length symbols.

perf xyarray: Fix wrong processing when closing evsel fd

2017-10-18T12:09:36Z

In current xyarray code, xyarray__max_x() returns max_y, and xyarray__max_y() returns max_x. It's confusing and for code logic it looks not correct. Error happens when closing evsel fd. Let's see this scenario: 1. Allocate an fd (pseudo-code) perf_evsel__alloc_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel, int ncpus, int nthreads) { evsel->fd = xyarray__new(ncpus, nthreads, sizeof(int)); } xyarray__new(int xlen, int ylen, size_t entry_size) { size_t row_size = ylen * entry_size; struct xyarray *xy = zalloc(sizeof(*xy) + xlen * row_size); xy->entry_size = entry_size; xy->row_size = row_size; xy->entries = xlen * ylen; xy->max_x = xlen; xy->max_y = ylen; ...... } So max_x is ncpus, max_y is nthreads and row_size = nthreads * 4. 2. Use perf syscall and get the fd int perf_evsel__open(struct perf_evsel *evsel, struct cpu_map *cpus, struct thread_map *threads) { for (cpu = 0; cpu < cpus->nr; cpu++) { for (thread = 0; thread < nthreads; thread++) { int fd, group_fd; fd = sys_perf_event_open(&evsel->attr, pid, cpus->map[cpu], group_fd, flags); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = fd; } } static inline void *xyarray__entry(struct xyarray *xy, int x, int y) { return &xy->contents[x * xy->row_size + y * xy->entry_size]; } These codes don't have issues. The issue happens in the closing of fd. 3. Close fd. void perf_evsel__close_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel) { int cpu, thread; for (cpu = 0; cpu < xyarray__max_x(evsel->fd); cpu++) for (thread = 0; thread < xyarray__max_y(evsel->fd); ++thread) { close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread)); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1; } } Since xyarray__max_x() returns max_y (nthreads) and xyarry__max_y() returns max_x (ncpus), so above code is actually to be: for (cpu = 0; cpu < nthreads; cpu++) for (thread = 0; thread < ncpus; ++thread) { close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread)); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1; } It's not correct! This change is introduced by "475fb533fb7d" ("perf evsel: Fix buffer overflow while freeing events") This fix is to let xyarray__max_x() return max_x (ncpus) and let xyarry__max_y() return max_y (nthreads) Committer note: This was also fixed by Ravi Bangoria, who provided the same patch, noticing the problem with 'perf record': I see 'perf record -p ' crashes with following log: *** Error in `./perf': free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x000000000298b340 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7f7fd85c87e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x8037a)[0x7f7fd85d137a] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(cfree+0x4c)[0x7f7fd85d553c] ./perf(perf_evsel__close+0xb4)[0x4b7614] ./perf(perf_evlist__delete+0x100)[0x4ab180] ./perf(cmd_record+0x1d9)[0x43a5a9] ./perf[0x49aa2f] ./perf(main+0x631)[0x427841] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7f7fd8571830] ./perf(_start+0x29)[0x427a59] Signed-off-by: Jin Yao Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ravi Bangoria Fixes: d74be4767367 ("perf xyarray: Save max_x, max_y") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508339478-26674-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508327446-15302-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
