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

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86/KASLR: Build identity mappings on demand

2016-05-07T05:38:39Z

Currently KASLR only supports relocation in a small physical range (from 16M to 1G), due to using the initial kernel page table identity mapping. To support ranges above this, we need to have an identity mapping for the desired memory range before we can decompress (and later run) the kernel. 32-bit kernels already have the needed identity mapping. This patch adds identity mappings for the needed memory ranges on 64-bit kernels. This happens in two possible boot paths: If loaded via startup_32(), we need to set up the needed identity map. If loaded from a 64-bit bootloader, the bootloader will have already set up an identity mapping, and we'll start via the compressed kernel's startup_64(). In this case, the bootloader's page tables need to be avoided while selecting the new uncompressed kernel location. If not, the decompressor could overwrite them during decompression. To accomplish this, we could walk the pagetable and find every page that is used, and add them to mem_avoid, but this needs extra code and will require increasing the size of the mem_avoid array. Instead, we can create a new set of page tables for our own identity mapping instead. The pages for the new page table will come from the _pagetable section of the compressed kernel, which means they are already contained by in mem_avoid array. To do this, we reuse the code from the uncompressed kernel's identity mapping routines. The _pgtable will be shared by both the 32-bit and 64-bit paths to reduce init_size, as now the compressed kernel's _rodata to _end will contribute to init_size. To handle the possible mappings, we need to increase the existing page table buffer size: When booting via startup_64(), we need to cover the old VO, params, cmdline and uncompressed kernel. In an extreme case we could have them all beyond the 512G boundary, which needs (2+2)*4 pages with 2M mappings. And we'll need 2 for first 2M for VGA RAM. One more is needed for level4. This gets us to 19 pages total. When booting via startup_32(), KASLR could move the uncompressed kernel above 4G, so we need to create extra identity mappings, which should only need (2+2) pages at most when it is beyond the 512G boundary. So 19 pages is sufficient for this case as well. The resulting BOOT_*PGT_SIZE defines use the "_SIZE" suffix on their names to maintain logical consistency with the existing BOOT_HEAP_SIZE and BOOT_STACK_SIZE defines. This patch is based on earlier patches from Yinghai Lu and Baoquan He.

x86: support XZ-compressed kernel

2011-01-13T16:03:25Z

This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code. mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for kernel decompression. It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to keep the code simpler. The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64. Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number. With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin Cc: "H.

CONFIG_X86_64 was misspelled (wrong case), which caused the x86-64 kernel to advertise itself as more relocatable than it really is. This could in theory cause boot failures once bootloaders start support the new relocation fields. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin
