treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 191

2019-05-30T18:29:21Z

Based on 1 normalized pattern(s): licensed under gplv2 extracted by the scancode license scanner the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-only has been chosen to replace the boilerplate/reference in 99 file(s).

selftests/powerpc: Return false instead of -1 in require_paranoia_below()

2016-11-14T09:06:00Z

Returning a negative value for a boolean function seem to have the undesired effect of returning true. require_paranoia_below() is a boolean function, but the variable used to store the return value is an integer, receiving -1 or 0. This patch converts rc to bool, replaces -1 by false, and 0 by true. mpe: This wasn't exhibiting in practice because the common case, where we do the comparison of the desired level vs the current value, was being compiled into a computation based on the result of the comparison, ie. it wasn't using the default -1 value at all. However that was just luck and the code is still wrong. Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Signed-off-by: Andrew Shadura Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

selftests/powerpc/pmu: Use signed long to read perf_event_paranoid

2016-07-05T13:49:49Z

Excerpt from man 2 perf_event_open: /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid The perf_event_paranoid file can be set to restrict access to the performance counters. 2 allow only user-space measurements. 1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default). 0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples. -1 no restrictions. require_paranoia_below() should return 0 if perf_event_paranoid is below a specified level, the value from perf_event_paranoid is read into an unsigned long so the incorrect value is returned when perf_event_paranoid is set to -1. Without this patch applied there is the same number of selftests/powerpc which skip when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 1 or -1 but no skips when set to zero. With this patch applied there are no skipped selftests/powerpc test when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 0 or -1. Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
