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.

Commit:
9043442b43b1 ("locking/paravirt: Use new static key for controlling call of virt_spin_lock()")
sets the static virt_spin_lock_key to a value before jump_label_init()
has been called, which will result in a WARN().
Reorder the initialization sequence:
- Move the native_pv_lock_init() into native_smp_prepare_cpus()
- set the value in xen_init_lock_cpu()
to avoid calling into the not yet initialized static keys subsystem.

to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:
----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()
// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

With the boot parameter "xen_nopvspin" specified a Xen guest should not
make use of paravirt spinlocks, but behave as if running on bare
metal. This is not true, however, as the qspinlock code will fall back
to a test-and-set scheme when it is detecting a hypervisor.
In order to avoid this disable the virt_spin_lock_key.

mapping overlaps with kernel module virtual space. When mapping in this space
is cleared by xen_cleanhighmap(), in certain case there could be an 2MB mapping
left. This is due to XEN initialize 4MB aligned mapping but xen_cleanhighmap()

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to

When running as Xen pv-guest the exception frame on the stack contains
%r11 and %rcx additional to the other data pushed by the processor.
Instead of having a paravirt op being called for each exception type
prepend the Xen specific code to each exception entry. When running as
Xen pv-guest just use the exception entry with prepended instructions,
otherwise use the entry without the Xen specific code.

The first 32 bits of gate struct are the same for 32 and 64 bit kernels.
The 32-bit version uses desc_struct and no designated data structure,
so we need different accessors for 32 and 64 bit kernels.
Aside of that the macros which are necessary to build the 32-bit
gate descriptor are horrible to read.
Unify the gate structs and switch all code fiddling with it over.

Xen's paravirt patch function xen_patch() does some special casing for
irq_ops functions to apply relocations when those functions can be
patched inline instead of calls.
Unfortunately none of the special case function replacements is small
enough to be patched inline, so the special case never applies.
As xen_patch() will call paravirt_patch_default() in all cases it can
be just dropped. xen-asm.h doesn't seem necessary without xen_patch()
as the only thing left in it would be the definition of XEN_EFLAGS_NMI
used only once. So move that definition and remove xen-asm.h.

When I cleaned up the Xen SYSCALL entries, I inadvertently changed
the reported segment registers. Before my patch, regs->ss was
__USER(32)_DS and regs->cs was __USER(32)_CS. After the patch, they
are FLAT_USER_CS/DS(32).
This had a couple unfortunate effects. It confused the
opportunistic fast return logic. It also significantly increased
the risk of triggering a nasty glibc bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21269
Update the Xen entry code to change it back.

A Xen HVM guest running with KASLR enabled will die rather soon today
because the shared info page mapping is using va() too early. This was
introduced by commit a5d5f328b0e2baa5ee7c119fd66324eb79eeeb66 ("xen:
allocate page for shared info page from low memory").
In order to fix this use early_memremap() to get a temporary virtual

Xen's raw SYSCALL entries are much less weird than native. Rather
than fudging them to look like native entries, use the Xen-provided
stack frame directly.
This lets us eliminate entry_SYSCALL_64_after_swapgs and two uses of
the SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK paravirt hook. The SYSENTER code would
benefit from similar treatment.
This makes one change to the native code path: the compat
instruction that clears the high 32 bits of %rax is moved slightly
later. I'd be surprised if this affects performance at all.

As Eric said,
"what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the
kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this
information in something like the control page.
Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally
far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not
watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in
the kernel's .bss section."
This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one
advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because
vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

x86's lazy TLB mode used to be fairly weak -- it would switch to
init_mm the first time it tried to flush a lazy TLB. This meant an
unnecessary CR3 write and, if the flush was remote, an unnecessary
IPI.
Rewrite it entirely. When we enter lazy mode, we simply remove the
CPU from mm_cpumask. This means that we need a way to figure out
whether we've missed a flush when we switch back out of lazy mode.
I use the tlb_gen machinery to track whether a context is up to
date.
Note to reviewers: this patch, my itself, looks a bit odd. I'm
using an array of length 1 containing (ctx_id, tlb_gen) rather than
just storing tlb_gen, and making it at array isn't necessary yet.
I'm doing this because the next few patches add PCID support, and,
with PCID, we need ctx_id, and the array will end up with a length
greater than 1. Making it an array now means that there will be
less churn and therefore less stress on your eyeballs.
NB: This is dubious but, AFAICT, still correct on Xen and UV.
xen_exit_mmap() uses mm_cpumask() for nefarious purposes and this
patch changes the way that mm_cpumask() works. This should be okay,
since Xen *also* iterates all online CPUs to find all the CPUs it
needs to twiddle.
The UV tlbflush code is rather dated and should be changed.
Here are some benchmark results, done on a Skylake laptop at 2.3 GHz
(turbo off, intel_pstate requesting max performance) under KVM with
the guest using idle=poll (to avoid artifacts when bouncing between
CPUs). I haven't done any real statistics here -- I just ran them
in a loop and picked the fastest results that didn't look like
outliers. Unpatched means commit a4eb8b993554, so all the
bookkeeping overhead is gone.
MADV_DONTNEED; touch the page; switch CPUs using sched_setaffinity. In
an unpatched kernel, MADV_DONTNEED will send an IPI to the previous CPU.
This is intended to be a nearly worst-case test.
patched: 13.4µs
unpatched: 21.6µs
Vitaly's pthread_mmap microbenchmark with 8 threads (on four cores),
nrounds = 100, 256M data
patched: 1.1 seconds or so
unpatched: 1.9 seconds or so
The sleepup on Vitaly's test appearss to be because it spends a lot
of time blocked on mmap_sem, and this patch avoids sending IPIs to
blocked CPUs.

That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and
reestablishing affinities for no value. (Christoph Hellwig)
Note: This contains also the BLOCK-MQ and NVME changes which depend
on the rework of the irq core infrastructure. Jens acked them and
agreed that they should go with the irq changes.
- Consolidation of irq domain code (Marc Zyngier)
- State tracking consolidation in the core code (Jeffy Chen)
- Add debug infrastructure for hierarchical irq domains (Thomas
Gleixner)
- Infrastructure enhancement for managing generic interrupt chips via
devmem (Bartosz Golaszewski)
- Constification work all over the place (Tobias Klauser)
- Two new interrupt controller drivers for MVEBU (Thomas Petazzoni)
- The usual set of fixes, updates and enhancements all over the
place"

Remove unnecessary variable mfn in function xen_foreach_remap_area() and,
refactor the code.
Variable mfn at line 518:mfn = xen_remap_buf.mfns[i];
is only being used to store a value to be passed as
an argument to the xen_update_mem_tables() function.
This value can be passed directly, which makes variable
mfn unnecessary. Also, value assigned to variable mfn
at line 534:mfn = xen_remap_mfn; is never used.

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.
These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage. Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.

In a HVM guest the kernel allocates the page for mapping the shared
info structure via extend_brk() today. This will lead to a drop of
performance as the underlying EPT entry will have to be split up into
4kB entries as the single shared info page is located in hypervisor
memory.
The issue has been detected by using the libmicro munmap test:
unmapping 8kB of memory was faster by nearly a factor of two when no
pv interfaces were active in the HVM guest.
So instead of taking a page from memory which might be mapped via
large EPT entries use a page which is already mapped via a 4kB EPT
entry: we can take a page from the first 1MB of memory as the video
memory at 640kB disallows using larger EPT entries.

The current approach, which is the wholesale efi struct initialization from
a 'efi_xen' local template is not robust. Usually if new member is defined
then it is properly initialized in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c, but not in
arch/x86/xen/efi.c.
The effect is that the Xen initialization clears any fields the generic code
might have set and the Xen code does not know about yet.
I saw this happen a few times, so let's initialize only the EFI struct members
used by Xen and maintain no local duplicate, to avoid such issues in the future.

ARM and x86 had duplicated versions of the dma_ops structure, the
only difference is that x86 hasn't wired up the set_dma_mask,
mmap, and get_sgtable ops yet. On x86 all of them are identical
to the generic version, so they aren't needed but harmless.
All the symbols used only for xen_swiotlb_dma_ops can now be marked
static as well.
