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.

Our VDSO code makes use of macros from linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h to
provide offsets to register values, but these are trivial offsets to the
two 32 bit halves of a 64 bit value. Replace use of the macros with zero
(ie. omit adding an offset) and the size of the low 32 bit of the value.
This removes our need for linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h & prepares us for it

In preparation for adjusting functions such as mips_cm_numcores(), which

this patch modifies the way we use the various CPS headers. Rather than
having users include asm/mips-cm.h or asm/mips-cpc.h individually we
instead have users include asm/mips-cps.h which in turn includes
asm/mips-cm.h & asm/mips-cpc.h. This means that users will gain access
to both CM & CPC registers by including one header, and most importantly
it makes asm/mips-cps.h an ideal location for helper functions which
need to access the various components of the CPS.

This function is used if pure VDSO implementation gettimeofday()
does not succeed for any reason. Its imeplementation is enclosed in
"#ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL" to be in sync with the similar
arrangement for __vdso_gettimeofday().
If syscall invocation via __NR_gettimeofday fails, register a3 will
be set. So, after the syscall, register a3 is tested and the return
valuem is negated if it's set.

Fix incorrect calculation in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse()
function that in turn caused incorrect values returned by the vdso
version of system call clock_gettime() on mips64 if its system clock
ID parameter was CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
Consider these variables and their types on mips32 and mips64:
tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec s64, s64 (kernel/vdso.c)
vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec u32, u32 (kernel/vdso.c)
to_mono_sec u32, u32 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
ts->tv_sec s32, s64 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
For mips64 case, u32 vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable is updated
from the 64-bit signed variable tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec
(kernel/vdso.c:76) which is a negative number holding the time passed
from 1970-01-01 to the time boot started. This 64-bit signed value is
currently around 47+ years, in seconds. For instance, let this value
be:
-1489757461
or
11111111111111111111111111111111 10100111001101000001101011101011
By updating 32-bit vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable, we lose upper
32 bits (signed 1's).
to_mono_sec variable is a parameter of do_monotonic() and
do_monotonic_coarse() functions which holds vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec
value. Its value needs to be added (or subtracted considering it holds
negative value from the tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec) to the current
time passed from 1970-01-01 (ts->tv_sec), which is again something like
47+ years, but increased by the time passed from the boot to the
current time. ts->tv_sec is 32-bit long in case of 32-bit architecture
and 64-bit long in case of 64-bit architecture. Consider the update of
ts->tv_sec (vdso/gettimeofday.c:55 & 167):
ts->tv_sec += to_mono_sec;
mips32 case: This update will be performed correctly, since both
ts->tv_sec and to_mono_sec are 32-bit long and the sign in to_mono_sec
is preserved. Implicit conversion from u32 to s32 will be done
correctly.
mips64 case: This update will be wrong, since the implicit conversion
will not be done correctly. The reason is that the conversion will be
from u32 to s64. This is because to_mono_sec is 32-bit long for both
mips32 and mips64 cases and s64..33 bits of converted to_mono_sec
variable will be zeros.
So, in order to make MIPS64 implementation work properly for
MONOTONIC and MONOTONIC_COARSE clock ids on mips64, the size of
wall_to_mono_sec variable in mips_vdso_data union and respective
parameters in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse() functions
should be changed from u32 to u64. Because of consistency, this
size change from u32 and u64 is also done for wall_to_mono_nsec
variable and corresponding function parameters.
As far as similar situations for other architectures are concerned,
let's take a look at arm. Arm has two distinct vdso_data structures
for 32-bit & 64-bit cases, and arm's wall_to_mono_sec and
wall_to_mono_nsec are u32 for 32-bit and u64 for 64-bit cases.
On the other hand, MIPS has only one structure (mips_vdso_data),
hence the need for changing the size of above mentioned parameters.

The problem here is mainly the missing asm/asm-prototypes.h header file
that is supposed to include the prototypes for each symbol that is exported
from an assembler file.
A second problem is that the asm/uaccess.h header contains some but not
all the necessary declarations for the user access helpers.
Finally, the vdso build is broken once we add asm/asm-prototypes.h, so
we have to fix this at the same time by changing the vdso header. My
approach here is to just not look for exported symbols in the VDSO
assembler files, as the symbols cannot be exported anyway.

The genvdso program modifies the debug and stripped versions of the
VDSOs in place, and errors if the modification has already taken place.
Unfortunately this means that a rebuild which tries to rerun genvdso to
generate vdso*-image.c without also rebuilding vdso.so.dbg (for example
if genvdso.c is modified) hits a build error like this:
arch/mips/vdso/genvdso 'arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg' already contains a '.MIPS.abiflags' section
This is fixed by reorganising the rules such that unmodified .so files
have a .raw suffix, and these are copied in the same rule that runs
genvdso on the copies.
I.e. previously we had:
cmd_vdsold:
link objects -> vdso.so.dbg
cmd_genvdso:
strip vdso.so.dbg -> vdso.so
run genvdso -> vdso-image.c
and modify vdso.so.dbg and vdso.so in place
Now we have:
cmd_vdsold:
link objects -> vdso.so.dbg.raw
a new cmd_objcopy based strip rule (inspired by ARM):
strip vdso.so.dbg.raw -> vdso.so.raw
cmd_genvdso:
copy vdso.so.dbg.raw -> vdso.so.dbg
copy vdso.so.raw -> vdso.so
run genvdso -> vdso-image.c
and modify vdso.so.dbg and vdso.so in place

The ld-version.sh script doesn't handle versions with large (>= 10) 3rd

times that of the 3rd component.
For example the following version string:
GNU ld (Codescape GNU Tools 2015.06-05 for MIPS MTI Linux) 2.24.90
gives a bogus version number:
20000000
+ 2400000
+ 900000 = 23300000
Breakage, confusion and mole-whacking ensues.
Increase the multipliers of the first two version components by a factor
of 10 to give space for a 3rd components of up to 99, and update the
sole user of ld-ifversion (MIPS VDSO) accordingly.

Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.
When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.
When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.
This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.
A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):
- Syscall: ~31000 ns
- VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
- VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef
- Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the
arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]

Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().
To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
(genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
compiled into the kernel.
On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
the mips_abi structure.
A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
function implementations which are added later.
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Add more comments
- Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
that needs it.
- Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
- Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking.
- Simplify Makefile a little bit.
- checkpatch fixes
- Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6
- Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64]
