<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<title>seccomp: Add a seccomp_data parameter secure_computing()</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, if arch code wants to supply seccomp_data directly to
seccomp (which is generally much faster than having seccomp do it
using the syscall_get_xyz() API), it has to use the two-phase
seccomp hooks. Add it to the easy hooks, too.

<id>urn:sha1:64e2a42bca12e408f0258c56adcf3595bcd116e7</id>
<content type='text'>
By adding TRACEHOOK support we now get a clean user interface to access
registers via PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETREGS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS and
PTRACE_SETFPREGS.

The user-visible regset struct user_regs_struct and user_fp_struct are
modelled similiar to x86 and can be accessed via PTRACE_GETREGSET.

<id>urn:sha1:910cd32e552ea09caa89cdbe328e468979b030dd</id>
<content type='text'>
The seccomp filter support requires careful handling of task registers.  This
includes reloading of the return value (%r28) and proper syscall exit if
secure_computing() returned -1.

Additionally we need to sign-extend the syscall number from signed 32bit to
signed 64bit in do_syscall_trace_enter() since the ptrace interface only allows
storing 32bit values in compat mode.

<title>parisc: Fix ptrace syscall number and return value modification</title>

<id>urn:sha1:98e8b6c9ac9d1b1e9d1122dfa6783d5d566bb8f7</id>
<content type='text'>
Mike Frysinger reported that his ptrace testcase showed strange
behaviour on parisc: It was not possible to avoid a syscall and the
return value of a syscall couldn't be changed.

To modify a syscall number, we were missing to save the new syscall
number to gr20 which is then picked up later in assembly again.

The effect that the return value couldn't be changed is a side-effect of
another bug in the assembly code. When a process is ptraced, userspace
expects each syscall to report entrance and exit of a syscall.  If a
syscall number was given which doesn't exist, we jumped to the normal
syscall exit code instead of informing userspace that the (non-existant)
syscall exits. This unexpected behaviour confuses userspace and thus the
bug was misinterpreted as if we can't change the return value.

This patch fixes both problems and was tested on 64bit kernel with
32bit userspace.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

We have a function where the arch can be queried, syscall_get_arch().
So rather than have every single piece of arch specific code use and/or
duplicate syscall_get_arch(), just have the audit code use the
syscall_get_arch() code.
