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.

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

calibrate: home in on correct lpj value more quickly
Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.
If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low. By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.
E.g. an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,
but in reality should have been able to fit in a single delay 644 times
longer, so underestimated by 31 steps. To reach the equivalent of 644
small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has <1/4th of the overhead, and can therefore be expected
to underestimate by only 7 steps.
As now we have a better initial estimate we can binary chop over a smaller
range. With the loop overhead in the initial estimate kept low, and the
step sizes moderate, we won't have under-estimated by much, so chose as
tight a range as we can.

small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has <1/4th of the overhead, and can therefore be expected
to underestimate by only 7 steps.
As now we have a better initial estimate we can binary chop over a smaller
range. With the loop overhead in the initial estimate kept low, and the
step sizes moderate, we won't have under-estimated by much, so chose as
tight a range as we can.

Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.
If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low. By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.
E.g. an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,

calibrate: extract fall-back calculation into own helper
The motivation for this patch series is that currently our OMAP calibrates
itself using the trial-and-error binary chop fallback that some other
architectures no longer need to perform. This is a lengthy process,
taking 0.2s in an environment where boot time is of great interest.
Patch 2/4 has two optimisations. Firstly, it replaces the initial
repeated- doubling to find the relevant power of 2 with a tight loop that
just does as much as it can in a jiffy. Secondly, it doesn't binary chop
over an entire power of 2 range, it choses a much smaller range based on
how much it squeezed in, and failed to squeeze in, during the first stage.
Both are significant optimisations, and bring our calibration down from
23 jiffies to 5, and, in the process, often arrive at a more accurate lpj
value.
The 'bands' and 'sub-logarithmic' growth may look over-engineered, but
they only cost a small level of inaccuracy in the initial guess (for all
architectures) in order to avoid the very large inaccuracies that appeared
during testing (on x86_64 architectures, and presumably others with less
metronomic operation). Note that due to the existence of the TSC and
other timers, the x86_64 will not typically use this fallback routine, but
I wanted to code defensively, able to cope with all kinds of processor
behaviours and kernel command line options.
Patch 3/4 is an additional trap for the nightmare scenario where the
initial estimate is very inaccurate, possibly due to things like SMIs.
It simply retries with a larger bound.

calibrate: home in on correct lpj value more quickly
Binary chop with a jiffy-resync on each step to find an upper bound is
slow, so just race in a tight-ish loop to find an underestimate.
If done with lots of individual steps, sometimes several hundreds of
iterations would be required, which would impose a significant overhead,
and make the initial estimate very low. By taking slowly increasing steps
there will be less overhead.
E.g. an x86_64 2.67GHz could have fitted in 613 individual small delays,
but in reality should have been able to fit in a single delay 644 times
longer, so underestimated by 31 steps. To reach the equivalent of 644
small delays with the accelerating scheme now requires about 130
iterations, so has <1/4th of the overhead, and can therefore be expected
to underestimate by only 7 steps.
As now we have a better initial estimate we can binary chop over a smaller
range. With the loop overhead in the initial estimate kept low, and the
step sizes moderate, we won't have under-estimated by much, so chose as
tight a range as we can.

calibrate: extract fall-back calculation into own helper
The motivation for this patch series is that currently our OMAP calibrates
itself using the trial-and-error binary chop fallback that some other
architectures no longer need to perform. This is a lengthy process,
taking 0.2s in an environment where boot time is of great interest.
Patch 2/4 has two optimisations. Firstly, it replaces the initial
repeated- doubling to find the relevant power of 2 with a tight loop that
just does as much as it can in a jiffy. Secondly, it doesn't binary chop
over an entire power of 2 range, it choses a much smaller range based on
how much it squeezed in, and failed to squeeze in, during the first stage.
Both are significant optimisations, and bring our calibration down from
23 jiffies to 5, and, in the process, often arrive at a more accurate lpj
value.
The 'bands' and 'sub-logarithmic' growth may look over-engineered, but
they only cost a small level of inaccuracy in the initial guess (for all
architectures) in order to avoid the very large inaccuracies that appeared
during testing (on x86_64 architectures, and presumably others with less
metronomic operation). Note that due to the existence of the TSC and
other timers, the x86_64 will not typically use this fallback routine, but
I wanted to code defensively, able to cope with all kinds of processor
behaviours and kernel command line options.
Patch 3/4 is an additional trap for the nightmare scenario where the
initial estimate is very inaccurate, possibly due to things like SMIs.
It simply retries with a larger bound.
