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.

binfmt_flat: do not stop relocating GOT entries prematurely on riscv bFLT binaries are usually created using elf2flt. The linker script used by elf2flt has defined the .data section like the following for the last 19 years: .data : { _sdata = . ; __data_start = . ; data_start = . ; *(.got.plt) *(.got) FILL(0) ; . = ALIGN(0x20) ; LONG(-1) . = ALIGN(0x20) ; ... } It places the .got.plt input section before the .got input section. The same is true for the default linker script (ld --verbose) on most architectures except x86/x86-64. The binfmt_flat loader should relocate all GOT entries until it encounters a -1 (the LONG(-1) in the linker script). The problem is that the .got.plt input section starts with a GOTPLT header (which has size 16 bytes on elf64-riscv and 8 bytes on elf32-riscv), where the first word is set to -1. See the binutils implementation for riscv [1]. This causes the binfmt_flat loader to stop relocating GOT entries prematurely and thus causes the application to crash when running. Fix this by skipping the whole GOTPLT header, since the whole GOTPLT header is reserved for the dynamic linker. The GOTPLT header will only be skipped for bFLT binaries with flag FLAT_FLAG_GOTPIC set. This flag is unconditionally set by elf2flt if the supplied ELF binary has the symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ defined. ELF binaries without a .got input section should thus remain unaffected. Tested on RISC-V Canaan Kendryte K210 and RISC-V QEMU nommu_virt_defconfig.

remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long' argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an unsigned type. However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int' argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are 8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'. Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments. This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE() because there are probably still architecture specific users elsewhere. Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'. The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'. For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior. I was using this definition for testing: #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \ unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO)) which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument. I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion (fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus asked me to send the whole thing again.
