<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<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.

Rename struct perf_data_file to perf_data, because we will add the
possibility to have multiple files under perf.data, so the 'perf_data'
name fits better.

There are places where we just need a forward declaration, and others
were we need to include strlist.h and/or strfilter.h, reducing the
impact of changes in headers on the build time, do it.

<title>perf jit: Generate .eh_frame/.eh_frame_hdr in DSO</title>

<content type='text'>
When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as
eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject.

The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do
not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls.  It can
be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is
passed to V8.

The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the
.text.

The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a
4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of
the word size, which means there will never be additional padding
between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or
8 bytes.

However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and
.eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes,
also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra
bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of
removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the
jitdump.

<title>perf jit: Add unwinding support</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=0284fecd13b6db3ecd4c2b1bf3e72b105edce24b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0284fecd13b6db3ecd4c2b1bf3e72b105edce24b</id>
<content type='text'>
This record is intended to provide unwinding information in the
eh_frame format. This is required to unwind JITed code which
does not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls.

The eh_frame unwinding information can be emitted by V8 / Chromium
when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed.

A record of type jr_code_unwinding_info comes before the jr_code_load
it referred to and contains both the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr.

The fields in the header have the following meaning:

  * unwinding_size: size of the eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr, necessary
    for distinguishing the content from the padding.

  * eh_frame_hdr_size: as the name says.

  * mapped_size: size of the payload that was in memory at runtime.
    typically unwinding_size if the .eh_frame_hdr and .eh_frame were
    mapped, or 0 if they weren't. It should always be the former case,
    since the .eh_frame is guaranteed to be mapped in memory. However,
    certain JITs might want to inject an .eh_frame_hdr with an empty LUT
    to trigger fp-based unwinding fallback in libunwind. The only part
    of the .eh_frame_hdr that libunwind reads from remote memory is the
    LUT, and since there is none, mapping the unwinding info in memory
    is not necessary, and 0 in this field signifies that it wasn't.
    This practical hack allows to save bytes in code memory for those
    JIT compilers that might or might not maintain a valid frame pointer.

The payload that follows is assumed to contain first the .eh_frame and
then the .eh_header_hdr, with no padding between the two.
