<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<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>x86/hyperv: Clear vCPU banks between calls to avoid flushing unneeded vCPUs</title>

<content type='text'>
hv_flush_pcpu_ex structures are not cleared between calls for performance
reasons (they're variable size up to PAGE_SIZE each) but we must clear
hv_vp_set.bank_contents part of it to avoid flushing unneeded vCPUs. The
rest of the structure is formed correctly.

To do the clearing in an efficient way stash the maximum possible vCPU
number (this may differ from Linux CPU id).

<title>x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=f5caf621ee357279e759c0911daf6d55c7d36f03'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f5caf621ee357279e759c0911daf6d55c7d36f03</id>
<content type='text'>
For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the
stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame
pointer is set up first:

  static inline void foo()
  {
	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))
  }

Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer.

The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global
variable.

It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC
version.  With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as
before:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940
 after	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940

With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed.  It now changes its
behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global.
That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before
inserting *any* inline asm.  (Therefore, listing the variable as an
output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.)  It's a bit
overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible.  And in fact,
there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9796316		9468236		9076191		8790305
 after	9796957		9464267		9076381		8785949

So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint
is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for
older versions.

<title>x86/hyper-v: Use hypercall for remote TLB flush</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2ffd9e33ce4af4e8cfa3e17bf493defe8474e2eb</id>
<content type='text'>
Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush,
this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.

Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls
we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to
have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot.

pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate
hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().

It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is
even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the
host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The
hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Rep hypercalls are normal hypercalls which perform multiple actions at
once. Hyper-V guarantees to return exectution to the caller in not more
than 50us and the caller needs to use hypercall continuation. Touch NMI
watchdog between hypercall invocations.

This is going to be used for HvFlushVirtualAddressList hypercall for
remote TLB flushing.

Hyper-V supports 'fast' hypercalls when all parameters are passed through
registers. Implement an inline version of a simpliest of these calls:
hypercall with one 8-byte input and no output.

We have only three call sites for hv_do_hypercall() and we're going to
change HVCALL_SIGNAL_EVENT to doing fast hypercall so we can inline this
function for optimization.

Hyper-V top level functional specification states that r9-r11 registers
and flags may be clobbered by the hypervisor during hypercall and with
inlining this is somewhat important, add the clobbers.
