2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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.

2016-07-10x86/entry: Avoid interrupt flag save and restorePaolo Bonzini1-0/+15
Thanks to all the work that was done by Andy Lutomirski and others, enter_from_user_mode() and prepare_exit_to_usermode() are now called only with interrupts disabled. Let's provide them a version of user_enter()/user_exit() that skips saving and restoring the interrupt flag. On an AMD-based machine I tested this patch on, with force-enabled context tracking, the speed-up in system calls was 90 clock cycles or 6%, measured with the following simple benchmark: #include <sys/signal.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> unsigned long rdtsc() { unsigned long result; asm volatile("rdtsc; shl $32, %%rdx; mov %%eax, %%eax\n" "or %%rdx, %%rax" : "=a" (result) : : "rdx"); return result; } int main() { unsigned long tsc1, tsc2; int pid = getpid(); int i; tsc1 = rdtsc(); for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) kill(pid, SIGWINCH); tsc2 = rdtsc(); printf("%ld\n", tsc2 - tsc1); } Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

2015-11-10context_tracking: avoid irq_save/irq_restore on guest entry and exitPaolo Bonzini1-2/+6
guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled, since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}. Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are called by guest_enter and guest_exit. Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM. Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit loop by about 2%.

2015-05-07context_tracking: Inherit TIF_NOHZ through forks instead of context switchesFrederic Weisbecker1-10/+0
TIF_NOHZ is used by context_tracking to force syscall slow-path on every task in order to track userspace roundtrips. As such, it must be set on all running tasks. It's currently explicitly inherited through context switches. There is no need to do it in this fast-path though. The flag could simply be set once for all on all tasks, whether they are running or not. Lets do this by setting the flag for the init task on early boot, and let it propagate through fork inheritance. While at it, mark context_tracking_cpu_set() as init code, we only need it at early boot time.

2015-03-09kvm,rcu,nohz: use RCU extended quiescent state when running KVM guestRik van Riel1-0/+6
The host kernel is not doing anything while the CPU is executing a KVM guest VCPU, so it can be marked as being in an extended quiescent state, identical to that used when running user space code. The only exception to that rule is when the host handles an interrupt, which is already handled by the irq code, which calls rcu_irq_enter and rcu_irq_exit. The guest_enter and guest_exit functions already switch vtime accounting independent of context tracking. Leave those calls where they are, instead of moving them into the context tracking code.

Generalize the context tracking APIs to support various nature of contexts. This is performed by splitting out the mechanism from context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit into context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit. The nature of the context we track is now detailed in a ctx_state parameter pushed to these APIs, allowing the same functions to not just track kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions. But leave the old functions in order to avoid breaking ARM, which calls these functions from assembler code, and cannot easily use C enum parameters. Reviewed-by: Paul E.

2015-03-09context_tracking: Rename context symbols to prepare for transition stateFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
Current context tracking symbols are designed to express living state. As such they are prefixed with "IN_": IN_USER, IN_KERNEL. Now we are going to use these symbols to also express state transitions such as context_tracking_enter(IN_USER) or context_tracking_exit(IN_USER). But while the "IN_" prefix works well to express entering a context, it's confusing to depict a context exit: context_tracking_exit(IN_USER) could mean two things: 1) We are exiting the current context to enter user context. 2) We are exiting the user context We want 2) but the reviewer may be confused and understand 1) So lets disambiguate these symbols and rename them to CONTEXT_USER and CONTEXT_KERNEL.

We plan to use the context tracking static key on inline vtime APIs. For this we need to include the context tracking headers from those of vtime. However vtime headers need to stay low level because they are included in hardirq.h that mostly contains standalone definitions. But context_tracking.h includes sched.h for a few task_struct references, therefore it wouldn't be sensible to include it from vtime.h To solve this, lets split the context tracking headers and move out the pure state definitions that only require a few low level headers.

2013-08-13nohz: Only enable context tracking on full dynticks CPUsFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+2
The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking and another range that does. Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks subsystem to the context tracking. This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking itself is still necessary everywhere. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter() and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed on kvm context switches. 2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we run in tick based accounting for these CPUs. Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations finally work.

2013-05-31kvm: Move guest entry/exit APIs to context_trackingFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+35
The kvm_host.h header file doesn't handle well inclusion when archs don't support KVM. This results in build crashes for such archs when they want to implement context tracking because this subsystem includes kvm_host.h in order to implement the guest_enter/exit APIs but it doesn't handle KVM off case. To fix this, move the guest_enter()/guest_exit() declarations and generic implementation to the context tracking headers. These generic APIs actually belong to this subsystem, besides other domains boundary tracking like user_enter() et al. KVM now properly becomes a user of this library, not the other buggy way around.

2013-03-07context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exitFrederic Weisbecker1-7/+12
On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode. However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace. If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs). As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking state. To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame. (May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so, sorry for the missing credit).

2013-03-07context_tracking: Move exception handling to generic codeFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+16
Exceptions handling on context tracking should share common treatment: on entry we exit user mode if the exception triggered in that context. Then on exception exit we return to that previous context. Generalize this to avoid duplication across archs.

2013-01-26context_tracking: Export context state for generic vtimeFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+28
Export the context state: whether we run in user / kernel from the context tracking subsystem point of view. This is going to be used by the generic virtual cputime accounting subsystem that is needed to implement the full dynticks.

2012-11-30context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystemFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+18
Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries to keep track of the transitions between level contexts with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel. This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking to implement its userspace extended quiescent state. We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: H.
