<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes
hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause
a complete rebuild of the tools.

Following commit will allow BPF script attach to tracepoints.
bpf__foreach_tev() will iterate over all events, not only kprobes.
Rename it to bpf__foreach_event().

Since only group and event are used by caller, there's no need to pass
full 'struct probe_trace_event' to bpf_prog_iter_callback_t. Pass only
these two strings. After this patch bpf_prog_iter_callback_t natually
support tracepoints.

<title>perf bpf: Clone bpf stdout events in multiple bpf scripts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d78885739a7df111dc7b081f8a09e08a5fcfecc2</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
command:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000

equals to:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/  \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               usleep 100000

<id>urn:sha1:2d055bf253c0d606c5de3fe7749e3188080780ad</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces basic facilities to support config different slots
in a BPF map one by one.

array.nr_ranges and array.ranges are introduced into 'struct
parse_events_term', where ranges is an array of indices range (start,
length) which will be configured by this config term. nr_ranges is the
size of the array. The array is passed to 'struct bpf_map_priv'.  To
indicate the new type of configuration, BPF_MAP_KEY_RANGES is added as a
new key type. bpf_map_config_foreach_key() is extended to iterate over
those indices instead of all possible keys.

Code in this commit will be enabled by following commit which enables
the indices syntax for array configuration.

<content type='text'>
A new syntax is added to the parser so that the user can access
predefined perf events in BPF objects.

After this patch, BPF programs for perf are finally able to utilize
bpf_perf_event_read() introduced in commit 35578d798400 ("bpf: Implement
function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected hardware PMU
counter").

Test result:

<content type='text'>
bpf__apply_obj_config() is introduced as the core API to apply object
config options to all BPF objects. This patch also does the real work
for setting values for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_ARRAY maps by inserting value
stored in map's private field into the BPF map.

This patch is required because we are not always able to set all BPF
config during parsing. Further patch will set events created by perf to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps, which is not exist until
perf_evsel__open().

bpf_map_foreach_key() is introduced to iterate over each key needs to be
configured. This function would be extended to support more map types
and different key settings.

In perf record, before start recording, call bpf__apply_config() to turn
on all BPF config options.

Test result:

<title>perf bpf: Add API to set values to map entries in a bpf object</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=066dacbf2a32defb4de23ea4c1af9e77578b5ac2'/>
<id>urn:sha1:066dacbf2a32defb4de23ea4c1af9e77578b5ac2</id>
<content type='text'>
bpf__config_obj() is introduced as a core API to config BPF object after
loading. One configuration option of maps is introduced. After this
patch BPF object can accept assignments like:

  map:my_map.value=1234

(map.my_map.value looks pretty. However, there's a small but hard to fix
problem related to flex's greedy matching. Please see [1].  Choose ':'
to avoid it in a simpler way.)

This patch is more complex than the work it does because the
consideration of extension. In designing BPF map configuration, the
following things should be considered:

 1. Array indices selection: perf should allow user setting different
    value for different slots in an array, with syntax like:
    map:my_map.value[0,3...6]=1234;

 2. A map should be set by different config terms, each for a part
    of it. For example, set each slot to the pid of a thread;

 3. Type of value: integer is not the only valid value type. A perf
    counter can also be put into a map after commit 35578d798400
    ("bpf: Implement function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the
      selected hardware PMU counter")

 4. For a hash table, it should be possible to use a string or other
    value as a key;

 5. It is possible that map configuration is unable to be setup
    during parsing. A perf counter is an example.

Therefore, this patch does the following:

 1. Instead of updating map element during parsing, this patch stores
    map config options in 'struct bpf_map_priv'. Following patches
    will apply those configs at an appropriate time;

 2. Link map operations in a list so a map can have multiple config
    terms attached, so different parts can be configured separately;

 3. Make 'struct bpf_map_priv' extensible so that the following patches
    can add new types of keys and operations;

 4. Use bpf_obj_config__map_funcs array to support more map config options.

Since the patch changing the event parser to parse BPF object config is
relative large, I've put it in another commit. Code in this patch can be
tested after applying the next patch.

Following patches are going to introduce BPF object level configuration
to enable setting values into BPF maps. To avoid confusion, this patch
renames existing 'config' in bpf-loader.c to 'program config'. Following
patches would introduce 'object config'.

<title>perf bpf: Add prologue for BPF programs for fetching arguments</title>
<updated>2015-11-18T20:51:04Z</updated>
<author>
<name>He Kuang</name>

</author>
<published>2015-11-16T12:10:12Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=bfc077b4cf106793b30bf942e426ee99f1f4ac44'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bfc077b4cf106793b30bf942e426ee99f1f4ac44</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch generates a prologue for a BPF program which fetches arguments for
it.  With this patch, the program can have arguments as follow:

  SEC("lock_page=__lock_page page-&gt;flags")
  int lock_page(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
  {
 	 return 1;
  }

This patch passes at most 3 arguments from r3, r4 and r5. r1 is still the ctx
pointer. r2 is used to indicate if dereferencing was done successfully.

This patch uses r6 to hold ctx (struct pt_regs) and r7 to hold stack pointer
for result. Result of each arguments first store on stack:

 low address
 BPF_REG_FP - 24  ARG3
 BPF_REG_FP - 16  ARG2
 BPF_REG_FP - 8   ARG1
 BPF_REG_FP
 high address

Then loaded into r3, r4 and r5.

The output prologue for offn(...off2(off1(reg)))) should be:

     r6 &lt;- r1			// save ctx into a callee saved register
     r7 &lt;- fp
     r7 &lt;- r7 - stack_offset	// pointer to result slot
     /* load r3 with the offset in pt_regs of 'reg' */
     (r7) &lt;- r3			// make slot valid
     r3 &lt;- r3 + off1		// prepare to read unsafe pointer
     r2 &lt;- 8
     r1 &lt;- r7			// result put onto stack
     call probe_read		// read unsafe pointer
     jnei r0, 0, err		// error checking
     r3 &lt;- (r7)			// read result
     r3 &lt;- r3 + off2		// prepare to read unsafe pointer
     r2 &lt;- 8
     r1 &lt;- r7
     call probe_read
     jnei r0, 0, err
     ...
     /* load r2, r3, r4 from stack */
     goto success
err:
     r2 &lt;- 1
     /* load r3, r4, r5 with 0 */
     goto usercode
success:
     r2 &lt;- 0
usercode:
     r1 &lt;- r6	// restore ctx
     // original user code

If all of arguments reside in register (dereferencing is not
required), gen_prologue_fastpath() will be used to create
fast prologue:

     r3 &lt;- (r1 + offset of reg1)
     r4 &lt;- (r1 + offset of reg2)
     r5 &lt;- (r1 + offset of reg3)
     r2 &lt;- 0

P.S.

eBPF calling convention is defined as:

* r0		- return value from in-kernel function, and exit value
                  for eBPF program
* r1 - r5	- arguments from eBPF program to in-kernel function
* r6 - r9	- callee saved registers that in-kernel function will
                  preserve
* r10		- read-only frame pointer to access stack

Committer note:

At least testing if it builds and loads:

  # cat test_probe_arg.c
  struct pt_regs;

  __attribute__((section("lock_page=__lock_page page-&gt;flags"), used))
  int func(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
  {
  	return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
  # perf record -e ./test_probe_arg.c usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist
