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.

decode_stacktrace: make stack dump output useful again Right now when people try to report issues in the kernel they send stack dumps to eachother, which looks something like this: [ 6.906437] [<ffffffff811f0e90>] ? backtrace_test_irq_callback+0x20/0x20 [ 6.907121] [<ffffffff84388ce8>] dump_stack+0x52/0x7f [ 6.907640] [<ffffffff811f0ec8>] backtrace_regression_test+0x38/0x110 [ 6.908281] [<ffffffff813596a0>] ? proc_create_data+0xa0/0xd0 [ 6.908870] [<ffffffff870a8040>] ? proc_modules_init+0x22/0x22 [ 6.909480] [<ffffffff810020c2>] do_one_initcall+0xc2/0x1e0 [...] However, most of the text you get is pure garbage. The only useful thing above is the function name. Due to the amount of different kernel code versions and various configurations being used, the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really helpful in determining where the problem actually occured. Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line' translations. Which slows down the entire process of debugging the issue (and really annoying). The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the stack dump into line numbers. Which means that the stack dump would look like this: [ 635.148361] dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) [ 635.149127] warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418) [ 635.150214] warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453) [ 635.151031] _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0 [ 635.152171] ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728) [ 635.152988] ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939) [ 635.154766] __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766) It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump before. Usage is pretty simple: ./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path] Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example: ./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).

decode_stacktrace: make stack dump output useful again Right now when people try to report issues in the kernel they send stack dumps to eachother, which looks something like this: [ 6.906437] [<ffffffff811f0e90>] ? backtrace_test_irq_callback+0x20/0x20 [ 6.907121] [<ffffffff84388ce8>] dump_stack+0x52/0x7f [ 6.907640] [<ffffffff811f0ec8>] backtrace_regression_test+0x38/0x110 [ 6.908281] [<ffffffff813596a0>] ? proc_create_data+0xa0/0xd0 [ 6.908870] [<ffffffff870a8040>] ? proc_modules_init+0x22/0x22 [ 6.909480] [<ffffffff810020c2>] do_one_initcall+0xc2/0x1e0 [...] However, most of the text you get is pure garbage. The only useful thing above is the function name. Due to the amount of different kernel code versions and various configurations being used, the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really helpful in determining where the problem actually occured. Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line' translations. Which slows down the entire process of debugging the issue (and really annoying). The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the stack dump into line numbers. Which means that the stack dump would look like this: [ 635.148361] dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) [ 635.149127] warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418) [ 635.150214] warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453) [ 635.151031] _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0 [ 635.152171] ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728) [ 635.152988] ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939) [ 635.154766] __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766) It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump before. Usage is pretty simple: ./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path] Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example: ./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).

scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: support debuginfod Now that stacktraces contain the build ID information we can update this script to use debuginfod-find to locate the debuginfo for the vmlinux and modules automatically. This can replace the existing code that requires specifying a path to vmlinux or tries to find the vmlinux and modules automatically by using the release number. Work it into the script as a fallback option if the vmlinux isn't specified on the commandline.

scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: remove find_module recursion and improve error reporting Patch series "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and usability", v2. This small series improves usability of scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh by improving the usage text and correctly reporting when modules are built without debugging symbols. This patch (of 3): The find_module() function can fail for two reasons: * the module was not found * the module was found but without debugging info In both cases the user is reported the same error: WARNING! Modules path isn't set, but is needed to parse this symbol This is misleading in case the modules path is set correctly. find_module() is currently implemented as a recursive function based on global variables in order to check up to 4 different paths. This is not straightforward to read and even less to modify. Besides, the debuginfo code at the beginning of find_module() is executed identically every time the function is entered, i.e. up to 4 times per each module search due to recursion. To be able to improve error reporting, first rewrite the find_module() function to remove recursion. The new version of the function iterates over all the same (up to 4) paths as before and for each of them does the same checks as before. At the end of the iteration it is now able to print an appropriate error message, so that has been moved from the caller into find_module(). Finally, when the module is found but without debugging info, mention the two Kconfig variables one needs to set in order to have the needed debugging symbols.

scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: optionally use LLVM utilities GNU's addr2line can have problems parsing a vmlinux built with LLVM, particularly when LTO was used. In order to decode the traces correctly this patch adds the ability to switch to LLVM's utilities readelf and addr2line. The same approach is followed by Will in [1]. Before: $ scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux < kernel.log [17716.240635] Call trace: [17716.240646] skb_cow_data (??:?) [17716.240654] esp6_input (ld-temp.o:?)

However, doing so can break the decodecode routine as it will force the selection of other LLVM utilities down the line e.g. llvm-as.

decode_stacktrace: make stack dump output useful again Right now when people try to report issues in the kernel they send stack dumps to eachother, which looks something like this: [ 6.906437] [<ffffffff811f0e90>] ? backtrace_test_irq_callback+0x20/0x20 [ 6.907121] [<ffffffff84388ce8>] dump_stack+0x52/0x7f [ 6.907640] [<ffffffff811f0ec8>] backtrace_regression_test+0x38/0x110 [ 6.908281] [<ffffffff813596a0>] ? proc_create_data+0xa0/0xd0 [ 6.908870] [<ffffffff870a8040>] ? proc_modules_init+0x22/0x22 [ 6.909480] [<ffffffff810020c2>] do_one_initcall+0xc2/0x1e0 [...] However, most of the text you get is pure garbage. The only useful thing above is the function name. Due to the amount of different kernel code versions and various configurations being used, the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really helpful in determining where the problem actually occured. Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line' translations. Which slows down the entire process of debugging the issue (and really annoying). The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the stack dump into line numbers. Which means that the stack dump would look like this: [ 635.148361] dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) [ 635.149127] warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418) [ 635.150214] warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453) [ 635.151031] _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0 [ 635.152171] ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728) [ 635.152988] ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939) [ 635.154766] __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766) It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump before. Usage is pretty simple: ./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path] Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example: ./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).
