x86/vdso: Switch to generic vDSO implementation

2019-06-22T19:21:10Z

The x86 vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of the newly introduced generic vDSO library.

x86: Convert x86_platform_ops to timespec64

2018-05-19T12:03:14Z

The x86 platform operations are fairly isolated, so it's easy to change them from using timespec to timespec64. It has been checked that all the users and callers are safe, and there is only one critical function that is broken beyond 2106: pvclock_read_wallclock() uses a 32-bit number of seconds since the epoch to communicate the boot time between host and guest in a virtual environment. This will work until 2106, but fixing this is outside the scope of this change, Add a comment at least.

x86/pvclock: add setter for pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va

2017-11-08T21:33:14Z

Right now there is only a pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va() which is defined on kvmclock since: commit dac16fba6fc5 ("x86/vdso: Get pvclock data from the vvar VMA instead of the fixmap") The only user of this interface so far is kvm. This commit adds a setter function for the pvti page and moves pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va to pvclock, which is a more generic place to have it; and would allow other PV clocksources to use it, such as Xen. While moving pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va into pvclock, rename also this function to pvclock_get_pvti_cpu0_va (including its call sites) to be symmetric with the setter (pvclock_set_pvti_cpu0_va).

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

KVM: x86: introduce get_kvmclock_ns

2016-09-20T07:26:15Z

Introduce a function that reads the exact nanoseconds value that is provided to the guest in kvmclock. This crystallizes the notion of kvmclock as a thin veneer over a stable TSC, that the guest will (hopefully) convert with NTP. In other words, kvmclock is *not* a paravirtualized host-to-guest NTP. Drop the get_kernel_ns() function, that was used both to get the base value of the master clock and to get the current value of kvmclock. The former use is replaced by ktime_get_boot_ns(), the latter is the purpose of get_kernel_ns(). This also allows KVM to provide a Hyper-V time reference counter that is synchronized with the time that is computed from the TSC page. Reviewed-by: Roman Kagan Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

pvclock: introduce seqcount-like API

2016-08-04T11:52:21Z

The version field in struct pvclock_vcpu_time_info basically implements a seqcount. Wrap it with the usual read_begin and read_retry functions, and use these APIs instead of peppering the code with smp_rmb()s. While at it, change it to the more pedantically correct virt_rmb(). With this change, __pvclock_read_cycles can be simplified noticeably. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

pvclock: Cleanup to remove function pvclock_get_nsec_offset

2016-06-27T13:12:14Z

Function __pvclock_read_cycles is short enough, so there is no need to have another function pvclock_get_nsec_offset to calculate tsc delta. It's better to combine it into function __pvclock_read_cycles. Remove useless variables in function __pvclock_read_cycles. Signed-off-by: Minfei Huang Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

pvclock: Add CPU barriers to get correct version value

2016-06-27T13:12:14Z

Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the time values it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading them. Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.
