      treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help' · a7f7f624
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      Since commit 84af7a61 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
      '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
      decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
      
      This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
      I also fixed the indentation.
      
      There are a variety of indentation styles found.
      
        a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
        b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
        c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
        d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
        e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
        f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
        g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
      
      In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
      following commend:
      
        $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      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.

      EISA/PCI: Init EISA early, before PNP · c5fb301a
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      Matthew reported kernels fail the pci_eisa probe and are later successful
      with the virtual_eisa_root_init force probe without slot0.
      
      The reason for that is: PNP probing is before pci_eisa_init gets called
      as pci_eisa_init is called via pci_driver.
      
      pnp 00:0f has 0xc80 - 0xc84 reserved.
      [    9.700409] pnp 00:0f: [io  0x0c80-0x0c84]
      
      so eisa_probe will fail from pci_eisa_init
      				==>eisa_root_register
      					==>eisa_probe path.
      as force_probe is not set in pci_eisa_root, it will bail early when
      slot0 is not probed and initialized.
      
      Try to use subsys_initcall_sync instead, and will keep following sequence:
      	pci_subsys_init
      	pci_eisa_init_early
      	pnpacpi_init/isapnp_init
      
      After this patch EISA can be initialized properly, and PNP overlapping
      resource will not be reserved.
      [   10.104434] system 00:0f: [io  0x0c80-0x0c84] could not be reserved

      EISA/PCI: Fix bus res reference · 2cfda637
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      Matthew found that 3.8.3 is having problems with an old (ancient)
      PCI-to-EISA bridge, the Intel 82375. It worked with the 3.2 kernel.
      He identified the 82375, but doesn't assign the struct resource *res
      pointer inside the struct eisa_root_device, and panics.
      
      pci_eisa_init() was using bus->resource[] directly instead of
      pci_bus_resource_n().  The bus->resource[] array is a PCI-internal
      implementation detail, and after commit 45ca9e97 (PCI: add helpers for
      building PCI bus resource lists) and commit 0efd5aab (PCI: add struct
      pci_host_bridge_window with CPU/bus address offset), bus->resource[] is not
      used for PCI root buses any more.
      
      The 82375 is a subtractive-decode PCI device, so handle it the same
      way we handle PCI-PCI bridges in subtractive-decode mode in
      pci_read_bridge_bases().

      Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct · 7eff2e7a
      Kay Sievers authored
      
      This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
      long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
      proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
      in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
      environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.
      
      Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
      error handling.

      [PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support · 07563c71
      Michael Tokarev authored
      
      Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
      (at least some) EISA-aware modules.
      
      The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
      
       eisa:sTCM5093
      
      and the in-module alias like:
      
       eisa:sTCM5093*
      
      The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
      to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
      latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
      drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
      declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
      scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
      
      There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
      by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
      maps are obsolete anyway.
      
      The rationale for this patch is:
      
       a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
          support, to unify driver loading
      
       b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
          (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
          how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)
