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

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm/hugetlb: add size parameter to huge_pte_offset()

2017-07-06T23:24:34Z

A poisoned or migrated hugepage is stored as a swap entry in the page tables. On architectures that support hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries (such as on arm64) this leads to ambiguity in determining the page table entry to return in huge_pte_offset() when a poisoned entry is encountered. Let's remove the ambiguity by adding a size parameter to convey additional information about the requested address. Also fixup the definition/usage of huge_pte_offset() throughout the tree.

mm, memory_hotplug: replace for_device by want_memblock in arch_add_memory

2017-07-06T23:24:32Z

arch_add_memory gets for_device argument which then controls whether we want to create memblocks for created memory sections. Simplify the logic by telling whether we want memblocks directly rather than going through pointless negation. This also makes the api easier to understand because it is clear what we want rather than nothing telling for_device which can mean anything. This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online

2017-07-06T23:24:32Z

The current memory hotplug implementation relies on having all the struct pages associate with a zone/node during the physical hotplug phase (arch_add_memory->__add_pages->__add_section->__add_zone). In the vast majority of cases this means that they are added to ZONE_NORMAL. This has been so since 9d99aaa31f59 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Support memory hotadd without sparsemem") and it wasn't a big deal back then because movable onlining didn't exist yet. Much later memory hotplug wanted to (ab)use ZONE_MOVABLE for movable onlining 511c2aba8f07 ("mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory") and then things got more complicated. Rather than reconsidering the zone association which was no longer needed (because the memory hotplug already depended on SPARSEMEM) a convoluted semantic of zone shifting has been developed. Only the currently last memblock or the one adjacent to the zone_movable can be onlined movable. This essentially means that the online type changes as the new memblocks are added. Let's simulate memory hot online manually $ echo 0x100000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones Normal Movable $ echo $((0x100000000+(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable $ echo $((0x100000000+2*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable $ echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable Normal This is an awkward semantic because an udev event is sent as soon as the block is onlined and an udev handler might want to online it based on some policy (e.g. association with a node) but it will inherently race with new blocks showing up. This patch changes the physical online phase to not associate pages with any zone at all. All the pages are just marked reserved and wait for the onlining phase to be associated with the zone as per the online request. There are only two requirements - existing ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap - ZONE_NORMAL precedes ZONE_MOVABLE in physical addresses the latter one is not an inherent requirement and can be changed in the future. It preserves the current behavior and made the code slightly simpler. This is subject to change in future. This means that the same physical online steps as above will lead to the following state: Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable Implementation: The current move_pfn_range is reimplemented to check the above requirements (allow_online_pfn_range) and then updates the respective zone (move_pfn_range_to_zone), the pgdat and links all the pages in the pfn range with the zone/node. __add_pages is updated to not require the zone and only initializes sections in the range. This allowed to simplify the arch_add_memory code (s390 could get rid of quite some of code). devm_memremap_pages is the only user of arch_add_memory which relies on the zone association because it only hooks into the memory hotplug only half way. It uses it to associate the new memory with ZONE_DEVICE but doesn't allow it to be {on,off}lined via sysfs. This means that this particular code path has to call move_pfn_range_to_zone explicitly. The original zone shifting code is kept in place and will be removed in the follow up patch for an easier review. Please note that this patch also changes the original behavior when offlining a memory block adjacent to another zone (Normal vs. Movable) used to allow to change its movable type. This will be handled later.

mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of is_zone_device_section

2017-07-06T23:24:32Z

Device memory hotplug hooks into regular memory hotplug only half way. It needs memory sections to track struct pages but there is no need/desire to associate those sections with memory blocks and export them to the userspace via sysfs because they cannot be onlined anyway. This is currently expressed by for_device argument to arch_add_memory which then makes sure to associate the given memory range with ZONE_DEVICE. register_new_memory then relies on is_zone_device_section to distinguish special memory hotplug from the regular one. While this works now, later patches in this series want to move __add_zone outside of arch_add_memory path so we have to come up with something else. Add want_memblock down the __add_pages path and use it to control whether the section->memblock association should be done. arch_add_memory then just trivially want memblock for everything but for_device hotplug. remove_memory_section doesn't need is_zone_device_section either. We can simply skip all the memblock specific cleanup if there is no memblock for the given section. This shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-19T13:50:20Z

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.
