      unexport linux/elfcore.h · 1e6b57d6
      Al Viro authored
      
      It's unusable from userland - it uses elf_gregset_t, which is not
      provided by exported headers.  glibc has it in sys/procfs.h, but
      the same file defines struct elf_prstatus, so linux/elfcore.h can't
      be included once sys/procfs.h has been pulled.  Same goes for uclibc
      and dietlibc simply doesn't have elf_gregset_t defined anywhere.
      
      IOW, no userland source is including that thing.

      kbuild: re-implement detection of CONFIG options leaked to user-space · c7c0eecf
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      scripts/headers_check.pl can detect references to CONFIG options in
      exported headers, but it has been disabled for more than a decade.
      
      Reverting commit 7e3fa561 ("kbuild: drop check for CONFIG_ in
      headers_check") would emit the following warnings for headers_check
      on x86:

      usr/include/asm/auxvec.h:14: leaks CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION to userspace where it is not valid
      usr/include/asm/e820.h:14: leaks CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT to userspace where it is not valid
      usr/include/asm/e820.h:39: leaks CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to userspace where it is not valid
      usr/include/asm/e820.h:49: leaks CONFIG_INTEL_TXT to userspace where it is not valid
      usr/include/asm/mman.h:7: leaks CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS to userspace where it is not valid
      
      Most of these are false positives because scripts/headers_check.pl
      parses comment lines.
      
      It is also false negative. arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h contains
      CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION and CONFIG_X86_64, but the only former is reported.
      
      It would be possible to fix scripts/headers_check.pl, of course.
      However, we already have some duplicated checks between headers_check
      and CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST. At this moment of time, there are still
      dozens of headers excluded from the header test (usr/include/Makefile),
      but we might be able to remove headers_check eventually.
      
      I re-implemented it in scripts/headers_install.sh by using sed because
      the most of code in scripts/headers_install.sh is written in sed.
      
      This patch works like this:
      
      [1] Run scripts/unifdef first because we need to drop the code
          surrounded by #ifdef __KERNEL__ ... #endif
      
      [2] Remove all C style comments. The sed code is somewhat complicated
          since we need to deal with both single and multi line comments.
      
          Precisely speaking, a comment block is replaced with a space just
          in case.
      
            CONFIG_FOO/* this is a comment */CONFIG_BAR
      
          should be converted into:
      
            CONFIG_FOO CONFIG_BAR
      
          instead of:
      
            CONFIG_FOOCONFIG_BAR
      
      [3] Match CONFIG_... pattern. It correctly matches to all CONFIG
          options that appear in a single line.
      
      After this commit, this would detect the following warnings, all of
      which are real ones.
      
      warning: include/uapi/linux/pktcdvd.h: leak CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE to user-space
      warning: include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: leak CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS to user-space

      warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/mman.h: leak CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS to user-space
      
      However, it is not nice to show them right now. I created a list of
      existing leakages. They are not warned, but a new leakage will be
      blocked by the 0-day bot.

      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.

      linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.h · d1515582
      Will Deacon authored and Ingo Molnar's avatar Ingo Molnar committed
      
      linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
      uapi/linux/types.h -> uapi/linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h
      -> uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
      offsetof.
      
      Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
      smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
      for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
      users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
      such as:
      
         In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
                          from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
                          from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
         include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
      >> include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
           smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
           ^
      
      A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
      but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
      (e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
      used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.
      
      This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
      annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
      compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
      such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().
      
      uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
      linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.
