Documentation/process/coding-style.rst says:
Please don't use things like ``vps_t``.
It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.
This commit converts as follows:
struct pal_min_state_area_s -> struct pal_min_state_area
pal_min_state_area_t -> struct pal_min_state_area
My main motivation for this is to slim down the include directives
of <asm/mca.h> in the next commit.
Currently, <asm/mca.h> is required to include <asm/pal.h> directly
or indirectly due to (pal_min_state_area_t *). Otherwise, it would
have no idea what pal_min_state_area_t is.
Replacing it with (struct pal_min_state_area *) will relax the header
dependency since it is enough to tell it is a pointer to a structure,
and to resolve the size of struct pal_min_state_area. It will make
<asm/mca.h> independent of <asm/pal.h>.
<asm/pal.h> typedef's a lot of structures, but it is trivial to
convert the others in the same way.

In order to remove 'timespec' completely from the kernel, all
internal uses should be converted to a y2038-safe type, while
those that are only for compatibity with existing user space
should be marked appropriately.
Change vdso to use __kernel_old_timespec in order to avoid
the deprecated type and mark these interfaces as outdated.

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and
a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that
distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid
we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct.
Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and
into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the
leader_pid in signal_struct.
The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and
an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct.
The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special
cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as
PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential
is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove
a lot more special cases in the code.

To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so
going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification.
This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array
once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a
few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed
by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

The cost is the the same and this removes the need
to worry about complications that come from de_thread
and group_leader changing.
__task_pid_nr_ns has been updated to take advantage of this change.

pidhash is no longer required as all the information can be looked up
from idr tree. nr_hashed represented the number of pids that had been
hashed. Since, nr_hashed and PIDNS_HASH_ADDING are no longer relevant,
it has been renamed to pid_allocated and PIDNS_ADDING respectively.

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.

John Stultz provided the outline for this patch back in May 2014 here:
http://patches.linaro.org/patch/30501/
but I let this sit on the shelf for too long and in the intervening
years almost every field in "struct timekeeper" was changed. So this
is almost completely different from his original. Though the key change
in arch/ia64/kernel/fsys.S remains the same.
The core logic change with the updated vsyscall method is that we
preserve the base nanosecond value in shifted nanoseconds, which
allows us to avoid truncating and rounding up to the next nanosecond
every tick to avoid inconsistencies.
Thus the logic moved from
nsec = ((cycle_delta * mult)>>shift) + base_nsec;
to
nsec = ((cycle_delta * mult) + base_snsec) >> shift;

We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.
Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.
However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.
This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.
There are some upsides of doing this:
- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).
- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.
And one downside:
- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c

The sys_getpid() and sys_set_tid_address() behavior changed from
return current->tgid
to
struct pid *pid;
pid = current->pids[PIDTYPE_PID].pid;
return pid->numbers[pid->level].nr;
But the fast system calls on ia64 still operate the old way. Patch them
appropriately to let ia64 work with pid namespaces. Besides, this is one more
step in deprecating of pid and tgid on task_struct.
The fsys_getppid() is to be patched as well, but its logic is much
more complex now, so I will make it later.
One thing I'm not 100% sure is the trick with the IA64_UPID_SHIFT. On order
to access the pid->level's element of an array I have to perform the following
calculations
pid + sizeof(struct upid) * pid->level
The problem is that ia64 can only multiply float point registers, while all
the offsets I have in code are in rXX ones. Fortunately, the sizeof(struct
upid) is 32 bytes on ia64 (and is very unlikely to ever change), so the
calculations get simpler:
pid + pid->level << 5
So, I introduce the IA64_UPID_SHIFT and use the shl instruction. I also
looked at how gcc compiles the similar place and found that it makes it with
shift as well. Is this OK to do so?
Tested with ski emulator with 2.6.24 kernel, but fits 2.6.25-rc4 and

This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.
The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have. By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.
The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

struct ia64_sal_os_state has three semi-independent sections. The code
in mca_asm.S assumes that these three sections are contiguous, which
makes it very awkward to add new data to this structure. Remove the
assumption that the sections are contiguous. Define a macro to shorten
references to offsets in ia64_sal_os_state.
This patch does not change the way that the code behaves. It just
makes it easier to update the code in future and to add fields to
ia64_sal_os_state when debugging the MCA/INIT handlers.

The bulk of the change. Use per cpu MCA/INIT stacks. Change the SAL
to OS state (sos) to be per process. Do all the assembler work on the
MCA/INIT stacks, leaving the original stack alone. Pass per cpu state
data to the C handlers for MCA and INIT, which also means changing the
mca_drv interfaces slightly. Lots of verification on whether the
original stack is usable before converting it to a sleeping process.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
