metag: Remove arch/metag/

2018-02-22T11:07:21Z

The earliest Meta architecture port of Linux I have a record of was an import of a Meta port of Linux v2.4.1 in February 2004, which was worked on significantly over the next few years by Graham Whaley, Will Newton, Matt Fleming, myself and others. Eventually the port was merged into mainline in v3.9 in March 2013, not long after Imagination Technologies bought MIPS Technologies and shifted its CPU focus over to the MIPS architecture. As a result, though the port was maintained for a while, kept on life support for a while longer, and useful for testing a few specific drivers for which I don't have ready access to the equivalent MIPS hardware, it is now essentially dead with no users. It is also stuck using an out-of-tree toolchain based on GCC 4.2.4 which is no longer maintained, now struggles to build modern kernels due to toolchain bugs, and doesn't itself build with a modern GCC. The latest buildroot port is still using an old uClibc snapshot which is no longer served, and the latest uClibc doesn't build with GCC 4.2.4. So lets call it a day and drop the Meta architecture port from the kernel. RIP Meta.

metag: remove arch specific early DT functions

2018-01-30T17:15:54Z

Now that the DT core code handles bootmem arches, we can remove the metag specific early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch function. As the default early_init_dt_add_memory_arch just does a WARN, we can remove it too. Cc: James Hogan Cc: linux-metag@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rob Herring

signal/metag: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE

2018-01-12T20:21:03Z

Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0. This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI. Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result hat uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr field by accident but certainly not by design. Making this a very flakey implementation. Utilizing FPE_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will reliably be copied. Possible ABI fixes includee: - Send the signal without siginfo - Don't generate a signal - Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code - Don't handle cases which can't happen Cc: James Hogan Cc: linux-metag@vger.kernel.org Ref: ac919f0883e5 ("metag: Traps") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

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

metag: Adjust system_state check

2017-05-23T08:01:35Z

To enable smp_processor_id() and might_sleep() debug checks earlier, it's required to add system states between SYSTEM_BOOTING and SYSTEM_RUNNING. Adjust the system_state check in stop_this_cpu() to handle the extra states.

Merge branch 'regset' (PTRACE_SETREGSET data leakage)

2017-03-29T15:55:25Z

Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin: "This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches, The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace to attack the kernel directly. The affected architectures are c6x, h8300, metag, mips and sparc. [ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ] The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways: 1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common approach.) 2) Copy to a local variable and then transfer to thread_struct. (A significant minority of cases.) Buggy code typically involves approach 2" * emailed patches from Dave Martin : sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes

2017-03-29T15:54:17Z

It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother. This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.
