The comment in 'asm-generic/bitops.h' states that you should "recode
these in the native assembly language, if at all possible". This is
pretty crappy advice now that the generic implementation is defined in
terms of atomic_long_t rather than a spinlock, so update the comment and
hopefully save future architecture maintainers a bit of work.Reported-by: Stefan Asserhall

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

Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
on each architecture like below:m68k:
big-endian 16bit indexed bitmapsh8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmapsm32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
little-endian bitmaps for little-endian modeOthers:
little-endian bitmapsIn order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian
bitmaps do not select these options.Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
architectures.Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita

architecture independent code in ext2 filesystem, and remove from

Introduce little-endian bit operations to the big-endian architectures
which do not have native little-endian bit operations and the
little-endian architectures. (alpha, avr32, blackfin, cris, frv, h8300,
ia64, m32r, mips, mn10300, parisc, sh, sparc, tile, x86, xtensa)These architectures can just include generic implementation

bitops.h apparently suffered from some level of bitrot, it
was missing the smp_mb__{before,after}_clear_bit functions,
and included other headers in an invalid order.This changes the file so that new architectures can use
it out of the box.Signed-off-by: Remis Lima Baima

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion
Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is
included directly without e.g. linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h,
forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h. Thanks to Adrian Bunk.Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
