2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2015-07-20perf bench futex: Add lock_pi stresserDavidlohr Bueso
Allows a way of measuring low level kernel implementation of FUTEX_LOCK_PI and FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI. The program comes in two flavors: (i) single futex (default), all threads contend on the same uaddr. For the sake of the benchmark, we call into kernel space even when the lock is uncontended. The kernel will set it to TID, any waters that come in and contend for the pi futex will be handled respectively by the kernel. (ii) -M option for multiple futexes, each thread deals with its own futex. This is a trivial scenario and only measures kernel handling of 0->TID transition.

2015-05-08perf bench futex: Support parallel waker threadsDavidlohr Bueso
The futex-wake benchmark only measures wakeups done within a single process. While this has value in its own, it does not really generate any hb->lock contention. A new benchmark 'wake-parallel' is added, by extending the futex-wake code such that we can measure parallel waker threads. The program output shows the avg per-thread latency in order to complete its share of wakeups: Run summary [PID 13474]: blocking on 512 threads (at [private] futex 0xa88668), 8 threads waking up 64 at a time. [Run 1]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.6230 ms (+-15.31%) [Run 2]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.5175 ms (+-29.95%) [Run 3]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.7578 ms (+-18.03%) [Run 4]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.8944 ms (+-12.54%) [Run 5]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 1.1204 ms (+-23.85%) Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.7826 ms (+-9.91%) Naturally, different combinations of numbers of blocking and waker threads will exhibit different information.

2014-06-19perf bench: Add --repeat optionDavidlohr Bueso
There are a number of benchmarks that do single runs and as a result does not really help users gain a general idea of how the workload performs. So the user must either manually do multiple runs or just use single bogus results. This option will enable users to specify the amount of runs (arbitrarily defaulted to 10, to use the existing benchmarks default) through the '--repeat' option. Add it to perf-bench instead of implementing it always in each specific benchmark.

tests plus cleanups Before this patch, looking at 'perf bench sched pipe' behavior over 'top' only told us that something related to perf is running: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 19934 mingo 20 0 54836 1296 952 R 18.6 0.0 0:00.56 perf 19935 mingo 20 0 54836 384 36 S 18.6 0.0 0:00.56 perf After the patch it's clearly visible what's going on: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 19744 mingo 20 0 125m 3536 2644 R 68.2 0.0 0:01.12 sched-pipe 19745 mingo 20 0 125m 1172 276 R 68.2 0.0 0:01.12 sched-pipe The benchmark-subsystem name is concatenated with the individual testcase name. Unfortunately 'perf top' does not show the reconfigured name, possibly because it caches ->comm[] values and does not recognize changes to them? Also clean up a few bits in builtin-bench.c while at it and reorganize the code and the output strings to be consistent. Use iterators to access the various arrays. Rename 'suites' concept to 'benchmark collection' and the 'bench_suite' to 'benchmark/bench'. The many repetitions of 'suite' made the code harder to read and understand.

2013-01-30perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suiteIngo Molnar
Add a suite of NUMA performance benchmarks. The goal was simulate the behavior and access patterns of real NUMA workloads, via a wide range of parameters, so this tool goes well beyond simple bzero() measurements that most NUMA micro-benchmarks use: - It processes the data and creates a chain of data dependencies, like a real workload would. Neither the compiler, nor the kernel (via KSM and other optimizations) nor the CPU can eliminate parts of the workload. - It randomizes the initial state and also randomizes the target addresses of the processing - it's not a simple forward scan of addresses. - It provides flexible options to set process, thread and memory relationship information: -G sets "global" memory shared between all test processes, -P sets "process" memory shared by all threads of a process and -T sets "thread" private memory. - There's a NUMA convergence monitoring and convergence latency measurement option via -c and -m. - Micro-sleeps and synchronization can be injected to provoke lock contention and scheduling, via the -u and -S options. This simulates IO and contention. - The -x option instructs the workload to 'perturb' itself artificially every N seconds, by moving to the first and last CPU of the system periodically. This way the stability of convergence equilibrium and the number of steps taken for the scheduler to reach equilibrium again can be measured. - The amount of work can be specified via the -l loop count, and/or via a -s seconds-timeout value. - CPU and node memory binding options, to test hard binding scenarios. THP can be turned on and off via madvise() calls. - Live reporting of convergence progress in an 'at glance' output format. Printing of convergence and deconvergence events. The 'perf bench numa mem -a' option will start an array of about 30 individual tests that will each output such measurements: # Running 5x5-bw-thread, "perf bench numa mem -p 5 -t 5 -P 512 -s 20 -zZ0q --thp 1" 5x5-bw-thread, 20.276, secs, runtime-max/thread 5x5-bw-thread, 20.004, secs, runtime-min/thread 5x5-bw-thread, 20.155, secs, runtime-avg/thread 5x5-bw-thread, 0.671, %, spread-runtime/thread 5x5-bw-thread, 21.153, GB, data/thread 5x5-bw-thread, 528.818, GB, data-total 5x5-bw-thread, 0.959, nsecs, runtime/byte/thread 5x5-bw-thread, 1.043, GB/sec, thread-speed 5x5-bw-thread, 26.081, GB/sec, total-speed See the help text and the code for more details.

2013-01-24perf bench: Flush stdout before starting bench suiteNamhyung Kim
perf bench prints header message for bench suite before starting the benchmark. However if the stdout is redirected to a file and bench suite forks child processes this (and possibly other debugging messages too) will be repeated multiple times. $ perf bench sched messaging # Running sched/messaging benchmark... # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.100 [sec] $ perf bench sched messaging > result.txt $ wc -l result.txt 391 In this file, there were so many "Running sched/messaging benchmark..." lines. This was because stdout is converted to fully-buffered due to the redirection and inherited child processes. Other lines are printed after reaping all those tasks. So fix it by flushing stdout before starting bench suites.

2012-09-11perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variablesIrina Tirdea
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

2009-12-14perf bench: Add "all" pseudo subsystem and "all" pseudo suiteHitoshi Mitake
This patch adds a new "all" pseudo subsystem and an "all" pseudo suite. These are for testing all subsystem and its all suite, or all suite of one subsystem.
