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 It is also stuck using an out-of-tree toolchain based on GCC 4.2.4 which is no longer maintained, now struggles to build modern kernels due to toolchain bugs, and doesn't itself build with a modern GCC.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.

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/usercopy: Switch to RAW_COPY_USER

2017-04-05T15:43:57Z

Switch to using raw user copy instead of providing metag specific [__]copy_{to,from}_user[_inatomic](). This simplifies the metag uaccess.h and allows us to take advantage of extra checking in the generic versions.

metag/usercopy: Add 64-bit get_user support

2017-04-05T14:27:32Z

Metag already supports 64-bit put_user, so add support for 64-bit get_user too so that the test_user_copy module can test both. Signed-off-by: James Hogan Cc: linux-metag@vger.kernel.org

metag/usercopy: Simplify rapf loop fixup corner case

2017-04-05T14:25:08Z

The final fixup in the rapf loops must handle a corner case due to the intermediate decrementing of the destination pointer before writing the last element to it again and re-incrementing it. This decrement (and the associated increment in the fixup code) can be easily avoided by using SETL/SETD with an offset of -8/-4. Signed-off-by: James Hogan Cc: linux-metag@vger.kernel.org

metag/usercopy: Add missing fixups

2017-04-05T14:25:07Z

The rapf copy loops in the Meta usercopy code is missing some extable entries for HTP cores with unaligned access checking enabled, where faults occur on the instruction immediately after the faulting access. Add the fixup labels and extable entries for these cases so that corner case user copy failures don't cause kernel crashes.

metag/usercopy: Fix src fixup in from user rapf loops

2017-04-05T14:25:07Z

The fixup code to rewind the source pointer in __asm_copy_from_user_{32,64}bit_rapf_loop() always rewound the source by a single unit (4 or 8 bytes), however this is insufficient if the fault didn't occur on the first load in the loop, as the source pointer will have been incremented but nothing will have been stored until all 4 register [pairs] are loaded. Read the LSM_STEP field of TXSTATUS (which is already loaded into a register), a bit like the copy_to_user versions, to determine how many iterations of MGET[DL] have taken place, all of which need rewinding.

metag/usercopy: Set flags before ADDZ

2017-04-05T14:25:06Z

The fixup code for the copy_to_user rapf loops reads TXStatus.LSM_STEP to decide how far to rewind the source pointer. There is a special case for the last execution of an MGETL/MGETD, since it leaves LSM_STEP=0 even though the number of MGETLs/MGETDs attempted was 4. This uses ADDZ which is conditional upon the Z condition flag, but the AND instruction which masked the TXStatus.LSM_STEP field didn't set the condition flags based on the result. Fix that now by using ANDS which does set the flags, and also marking the condition codes as clobbered by the inline assembly.
