<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<title>x86/boot/e820: Rename early_reserve_e820() to e820__memblock_alloc() and document it</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5da217ca967b9d7a0bbbd8edd06749c99a4fe501</id>
<content type='text'>
early_reserve_e820() is an early hack for kexec that does a limited fixup of the
mptable and passes it to the kexec kernel as if it was the real thing.

For this it needs to allocate memory - but no memory allocator is available yet
beyond the memblock allocator, so early_reserve_e820() is really a wrapper
around memblock_alloc() plus a hack to update the e820_table_firmware entries.

The name 'reserve' is really a bit of a misnomer, as 'reserved' memory typically
means memory completely inaccessible to the kernel - while here what we want to do
is a special RAM allocation for our own purposes and insert that as RAM_RESERVED.

Rename the function to e820__memblock_alloc_reserved() to better signal this dual
purpose, plus document it better, which was omitted when it was merged. The barely
comprehensible and cryptic comment:

  /*
   * pre allocated 4k and reserved it in memblock and e820_table_firmware
   */
  u64 __init e820__memblock_alloc_reserved(u64 size, u64 align)

... does not count as documentation, replace it with:

  /*
   * Allocate the requested number of bytes with the requsted alignment
   * and return (the physical address) to the caller. Also register this
   * range in the 'firmware' E820 table.
   *
   * This allows kexec to fake a new mptable, as if it came from the real
   * system.
   */
  u64 __init e820__memblock_alloc_reserved(u64 size, u64 align)

No change in functionality.

<title>x86/acpi: Introduce persistent storage for cpuid &lt;-&gt; apicid mapping</title>
<updated>2016-09-21T19:18:38Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=8f54969dc8d6704632b42cbb5e47730cd75cc713'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8f54969dc8d6704632b42cbb5e47730cd75cc713</id>
<content type='text'>
The whole patch-set aims at making cpuid &lt;-&gt; nodeid mapping persistent. So that,
when node online/offline happens, cache based on cpuid &lt;-&gt; nodeid mapping such as
wq_numa_possible_cpumask will not cause any problem.
It contains 4 steps:
1. Enable apic registeration flow to handle both enabled and disabled cpus.
2. Introduce a new array storing all possible cpuid &lt;-&gt; apicid mapping.
3. Enable _MAT and MADT relative apis to return non-present or disabled cpus' apicid.
4. Establish all possible cpuid &lt;-&gt; nodeid mapping.

This patch finishes step 2.

In this patch, we introduce a new static array named cpuid_to_apicid[],
which is large enough to store info for all possible cpus.

And then, we modify the cpuid calculation. In generic_processor_info(),
it simply finds the next unused cpuid. And it is also why the cpuid &lt;-&gt; nodeid
mapping changes with node hotplug.

After this patch, we find the next unused cpuid, map it to an apicid,
and store the mapping in cpuid_to_apicid[], so that cpuid &lt;-&gt; apicid
mapping will be persistent.

And finally we will use this array to make cpuid &lt;-&gt; nodeid persistent.

cpuid &lt;-&gt; apicid mapping is established at local apic registeration time.
But non-present or disabled cpus are ignored.

In this patch, we establish all possible cpuid &lt;-&gt; apicid mapping when
registering local apic.

<title>x86/apic: Get rid of apic_version[] array</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cff9ab2b291e64259d97add48fe073c081afe4e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The array has a size of MAX_LOCAL_APIC, which can be as large as 32k, so it
can consume up to 128k.

The array has been there forever and was never used for anything useful
other than a version mismatch check which was introduced in 2009.

There is no reason to store the version in an array. The kernel is not
prepared to handle different APIC versions anyway, so the real important
part is to detect a version mismatch and warn about it, which can be done
with a single variable as well.

<content type='text'>
Simplify arch/x86/include/asm/mpspec.h by
1) Change max_physical_apicid to static as it's only used in apic.c.
2) Kill declaration of mpc_default_type, it's never defined.
3) Delete default_acpi_madt_oem_check(), it has already been declared
   in apic.h.
4) Make default_acpi_madt_oem_check() depends on CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
   instead of CONFIG_X86_64 to support i386.
5) Change mp_override_legacy_irq(), mp_config_acpi_legacy_irqs() and
   mp_register_gsi() as static because they are only used in acpi/boot.c.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

[ hpa: undid incorrect removal from arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S ]
