License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license 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.

PCI / VFIO: Add 'override_only' support for VFIO PCI sub system Expose an 'override_only' helper macro (i.e. PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO) for VFIO PCI sub system and add the required code to prefix its matching entries with "vfio_" in modules.alias file. It allows VFIO device drivers to include match entries in the modules.alias file produced by kbuild that are not used for normal driver autoprobing and module autoloading. Drivers using these match entries can be connected to the PCI device manually, by userspace, using the existing driver_override sysfs. For example the resulting modules.alias may have: alias pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_core alias vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_vfio_pci alias vfio_pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* vfio_pci In this example mlx5_core and mlx5_vfio_pci match to the same PCI device. The kernel will autoload and autobind to mlx5_core but the kernel and udev mechanisms will ignore mlx5_vfio_pci. When userspace wants to change a device to the VFIO subsystem it can implement a generic algorithm: 1) Identify the sysfs path to the device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 2) Get the modalias string from the kernel: $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/modalias pci:v000015B3d00001021sv000015B3sd00000001bc02sc00i00 3) Prefix it with vfio_: vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv000015B3sd00000001bc02sc00i00 4) Search modules.alias for the above string and select the entry that has the fewest *'s: alias vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_vfio_pci 5) modprobe the matched module name: $ modprobe mlx5_vfio_pci 6) cat the matched module name to driver_override: echo mlx5_vfio_pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver_override 7) unbind device from original module echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind 8) probe PCI drivers (or explicitly bind to mlx5_vfio_pci) echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe The algorithm is independent of bus type. In future the other buses with VFIO device drivers, like platform and ACPI, can use this algorithm as well. This patch is the infrastructure to provide the information in the modules.alias to userspace. Convert the only VFIO pci_driver which results in one new line in the modules.alias: alias vfio_pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* vfio_pci Later series introduce additional HW specific VFIO PCI drivers, such as mlx5_vfio_pci.

ACPI / scan: Add support for ACPI _CLS device matching Device drivers typically use ACPI _HIDs/_CIDs listed in struct device_driver acpi_match_table to match devices. However, for generic drivers, we do not want to list _HID for all supported devices. Also, certain classes of devices do not have _CID (e.g. SATA, USB). Instead, we can leverage ACPI _CLS, which specifies PCI-defined class code (i.e. base-class, subclass and programming interface). This patch adds support for matching ACPI devices using the _CLS method. To support loadable module, current design uses _HID or _CID to match device's modalias. With the new way of matching with _CLS this would requires modification to the current ACPI modalias key to include _CLS. This patch appends PCI-defined class-code to the existing ACPI modalias as following. acpi:<HID>:<CID1>:<CID2>:..:<CIDn>:<bbsspp>: E.g: # cat /sys/devices/platform/AMDI0600:00/modalias acpi:AMDI0600:010601: where bb is th base-class code, ss is te sub-class code, and pp is the programming interface code Since there would not be _HID/_CID in the ACPI matching table of the driver, this patch adds a field to acpi_device_id to specify the matching _CLS. static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = { { ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) }, {}, }; In this case, the corresponded entry in modules.alias file would be: alias acpi*:010601:* ahci_platform Acked-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Hanjun Guo <hanjun.guo@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Suravee Suthikulpanit <Suravee.Suthikulpanit@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and (at least some) EISA-aware modules. The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC): eisa:sTCM5093 and the in-module alias like: eisa:sTCM5093* The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated. There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those maps are obsolete anyway. The rationale for this patch is: a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias support, to unify driver loading b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

i3c: Add core I3C infrastructure Add core infrastructure to support I3C in Linux and document it. This infrastructure adds basic I3C support. Advanced features will be added afterwards. There are a few design choices that are worth mentioning because they impact the way I3C device drivers can interact with their devices: - all functions used to send I3C/I2C frames must be called in non-atomic context. Mainly done this way to ease implementation, but this is not set in stone, and if anyone needs async support, new functions can be added later on. - the bus element is a separate object, but it's tightly coupled with the master object. We thus have a 1:1 relationship between i3c_bus and i3c_master_controller objects, and if 2 master controllers are connected to the same bus and both exposed to the same Linux instance they will appear as two distinct busses, and devices on this bus will be exposed twice. - I2C backward compatibility has been designed to be transparent to I2C drivers and the I2C subsystem. The I3C master just registers an I2C adapter which creates a new I2C bus. I'd say that, from a representation PoV it's not ideal because what should appear as a single I3C bus exposing I3C and I2C devices here appears as 2 different buses connected to each other through the parenting (the I3C master is the parent of the I2C and I3C busses). On the other hand, I don't see a better solution if we want something that is not invasive. Missing features: - I3C HDR modes are not supported - no support for multi-master and the associated concepts (mastership handover, support for secondary masters, ...) - I2C devices can only be described using DT because this is the only use case I have. However, the framework can easily be extended with ACPI and board info support - I3C slave framework. This has been completely omitted, but shouldn't have a huge impact on the I3C framework because I3C slaves don't see the whole bus, it's only about handling master requests and generating IBIs. Some of the struct, constant and enum definitions could be shared, but most of the I3C slave framework logic will be different Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

MIPS: Add CDMM bus support Add MIPS Common Device Memory Map (CDMM) support in the form of a bus in the standard Linux device model. Each device attached via CDMM is discoverable via an 8-bit type identifier and may contain a number of blocks of memory mapped registers in the CDMM region. IRQs are expected to be handled separately. Due to the per-cpu (per-VPE for MT cores) nature of the CDMM devices, all the driver callbacks take place from workqueues which are run on the right CPU for the device in question, so that the driver doesn't need to be as concerned about which CPU it is running on. Callbacks also exist for when CPUs are taken offline, so that any per-CPU resources used by the driver can be disabled so they don't get forcefully migrated. CDMM devices are created as children of the CPU device they are attached to. Any existing CDMM configuration by the bootloader will be inherited, however platforms wishing to enable CDMM should implement the weak mips_cdmm_phys_base() function (see asm/cdmm.h) so that the bus driver knows where it should put the CDMM region in the physical address space if the bootloader hasn't already enabled it. A mips_cdmm_early_probe() function is also provided to allow early boot or particularly low level code to set up the CDMM region and probe for a specific device type, for example early console or KGDB IO drivers for the EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC) CDMM device.

Add driver auto probing for x86 features v4 There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often doesn't work. This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number and also based on CPUID feature bits. For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS which relies on fast CRC. Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU. Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this. It works with existing udev without any changes. The code exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs that can be matched by udev's pattern matching. This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing that would require changing udev. Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match, there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC) But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue. Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers. This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices, which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this. This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions in followups.

Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers. This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices, which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this. This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions in followups.

Add driver auto probing for x86 features v4 There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often doesn't work. This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number and also based on CPUID feature bits. For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS which relies on fast CRC. Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU. Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this. It works with existing udev without any changes. The code exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs that can be matched by udev's pattern matching. This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing that would require changing udev.

thunderbolt: Add support for XDomain discovery protocol When two hosts are connected over a Thunderbolt cable, there is a protocol they can use to communicate capabilities supported by the host. The discovery protocol uses automatically configured control channel (ring 0) and is build on top of request/response transactions using special XDomain primitives provided by the Thunderbolt base protocol. The capabilities consists of a root directory block of basic properties used for identification of the host, and then there can be zero or more directories each describing a Thunderbolt service and its capabilities. Once both sides have discovered what is supported the two hosts can setup high-speed DMA paths and transfer data to the other side using whatever protocol was agreed based on the properties. The software protocol used to communicate which DMA paths to enable is service specific. This patch adds support for the XDomain discovery protocol to the Thunderbolt bus. We model each remote host connection as a Linux XDomain device. For each Thunderbolt service found supported on the XDomain device, we create Linux Thunderbolt service device which Thunderbolt service drivers can then bind to based on the protocol identification information retrieved from the property directory describing the service. This code is based on the work done by Amir Levy and Michael Jamet.
