License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license 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.

perf trace: Add scripting ops Adds an interface, scripting_ops, that when implemented for a particular scripting language enables built-in support for trace stream processing using that language. The interface is designed to enable full-fledged language interpreters to be embedded inside the perf executable and thereby make the full capabilities of the supported languages available for trace processing. See below for details on the interface. This patch also adds a couple command-line options to 'perf trace': The -s option option is used to specify the script to be run. Script names that can be used with -s take the form: [language spec:]scriptname[.ext] Scripting languages register a set of 'language specs' that can be used to specify scripts for the registered languages. The specs can be used either as prefixes or extensions. If [language spec:] is used, the script is taken as a script of the matching language regardless of any extension it might have. If [language spec:] is not used, [.ext] is used to look up the language it corresponds to. Language specs are case insensitive. e.g. Perl scripts can be specified in the following ways: Perl:scriptname pl:scriptname.py # extension ignored PL:scriptname scriptname.pl scriptname.perl The -g [language spec] option gives users an easy starting point for writing scripts in the specified language. Scripting support for a particular language can implement a generate_script() scripting op that outputs an empty (or near-empty) set of handlers for all the events contained in a given perf.data trace file - this option gives users a direct way to access that. Adding support for a scripting language --------------------------------------- The main thing that needs to be done do add support for a new language is to implement the scripting_ops interface: It consists of the following four functions: start_script() stop_script() process_event() generate_script() start_script() is called before any events are processed, and is meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to set things up to receive events e.g. create and initialize an instance of a language interpreter. stop_script() is called after all events are processed, and is meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter instance, etc. process_event() is called once for each event and takes as its main parameter a pointer to the binary trace event record to be processed. The implementation is responsible for picking out the binary fields from the event record and sending them to the script handler function associated with that event e.g. a function derived from the event name it's meant to handle e.g. 'sched::sched_switch()'. The 'format' information for trace events can be used to parse the binary data and map it into a form usable by a given scripting language; see the Perl implemention in subsequent patches for one possible way to leverage the existing trace format parsing code in perf and map that info into specific scripting language types. generate_script() should generate a ready-to-run script for the current set of events in the trace, preferably with bodies that print out every field for each event. Again, look at the Perl implementation for clues as to how that can be done. This is an optional, but very useful op. Support for a given language should also add a language-specific setup function and call it from setup_scripting(). The language-specific setup function associates the the scripting ops for that language with one or more 'language specifiers' (see below) using script_spec_register(). When a script name is specified on the command line, the scripting ops associated with the specified language are used to instantiate and use the appropriate interpreter to process the trace stream. In general, it should be relatively easy to add support for a new language, especially if the language implementation supports an interface allowing an interpreter to be 'embedded' inside another program (in this case the containing program will be 'perf trace'). If so, it should be relatively straightforward to translate trace events into invocations of user-defined script functions where e.g. the function name corresponds to the event type and the function parameters correspond to the event fields. The event and field type information exported by the event tracing infrastructure (via the event 'format' files) should be enough to parse and send any piece of trace data to the user script. The easiest way to see how this can be done would be to look at the Perl implementation contained in perf/util/trace-event-perl.c/.h. There are a couple of other things that aren't covered by the scripting_ops or setup interface and are technically optional, but should be implemented if possible. One of these is support for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields e.g. being able to use more human-readable values such as 'GFP_KERNEL' or HI/BLOCK_IOPOLL/TASKLET in place of raw flag values. See the Perl implementation to see how this can be done. The other thing is support for 'calling back' into the perf executable to access e.g. uncommon fields not passed by default into handler functions, or any metadata the implementation might want to make available to users via the language interface. Again, see the Perl implementation for examples.

Scripting support for a particular language can implement a generate_script() scripting op that outputs an empty (or near-empty) set of handlers for all the events contained in a given perf.data trace file - this option gives users a direct way to access that. Adding support for a scripting language --------------------------------------- The main thing that needs to be done do add support for a new language is to implement the scripting_ops interface: It consists of the following four functions: start_script() stop_script() process_event() generate_script() start_script() is called before any events are processed, and is meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to set things up to receive events e.g. create and initialize an instance of a language interpreter. stop_script() is called after all events are processed, and is meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter instance, etc. process_event() is called once for each event and takes as its main parameter a pointer to the binary trace event record to be processed. The implementation is responsible for picking out the binary fields from the event record and sending them to the script handler function associated with that event e.g. a function derived from the event name it's meant to handle e.g. 'sched::sched_switch()'. The 'format' information for trace events can be used to parse the binary data and map it into a form usable by a given scripting language; see the Perl implemention in subsequent patches for one possible way to leverage the existing trace format parsing code in perf and map that info into specific scripting language types. generate_script() should generate a ready-to-run script for the current set of events in the trace, preferably with bodies that print out every field for each event. Again, look at the Perl implementation for clues as to how that can be done. This is an optional, but very useful op. Support for a given language should also add a language-specific setup function and call it from setup_scripting(). The language-specific setup function associates the the scripting ops for that language with one or more 'language specifiers' (see below) using script_spec_register(). When a script name is specified on the command line, the scripting ops associated with the specified language are used to instantiate and use the appropriate interpreter to process the trace stream. In general, it should be relatively easy to add support for a new language, especially if the language implementation supports an interface allowing an interpreter to be 'embedded' inside another program (in this case the containing program will be 'perf trace'). If so, it should be relatively straightforward to translate trace events into invocations of user-defined script functions where e.g. the function name corresponds to the event type and the function parameters correspond to the event fields. The event and field type information exported by the event tracing infrastructure (via the event 'format' files) should be enough to parse and send any piece of trace data to the user script. The easiest way to see how this can be done would be to look at the Perl implementation contained in perf/util/trace-event-perl.c/.h. There are a couple of other things that aren't covered by the scripting_ops or setup interface and are technically optional, but should be implemented if possible. One of these is support for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields e.g. being able to use more human-readable values such as 'GFP_KERNEL' or HI/BLOCK_IOPOLL/TASKLET in place of raw flag values. See the Perl implementation to see how this can be done. The other thing is support for 'calling back' into the perf executable to access e.g. uncommon fields not passed by default into handler functions, or any metadata the implementation might want to make available to users via the language interface. Again, see the Perl implementation for examples.

perf trace: Add scripting ops Adds an interface, scripting_ops, that when implemented for a particular scripting language enables built-in support for trace stream processing using that language. The interface is designed to enable full-fledged language interpreters to be embedded inside the perf executable and thereby make the full capabilities of the supported languages available for trace processing. See below for details on the interface. This patch also adds a couple command-line options to 'perf trace': The -s option option is used to specify the script to be run. Script names that can be used with -s take the form: [language spec:]scriptname[.ext] Scripting languages register a set of 'language specs' that can be used to specify scripts for the registered languages. The specs can be used either as prefixes or extensions. If [language spec:] is used, the script is taken as a script of the matching language regardless of any extension it might have. If [language spec:] is not used, [.ext] is used to look up the language it corresponds to. Language specs are case insensitive. e.g. Perl scripts can be specified in the following ways: Perl:scriptname pl:scriptname.py # extension ignored PL:scriptname scriptname.pl scriptname.perl The -g [language spec] option gives users an easy starting point for writing scripts in the specified language.
