  • b24413180   License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license ... Browse Code »

    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

  • d9e3cb2f9   alpha: math-emu: Fix modular build ... Browse Code »

    Commit 00fc0e0dda62 ("alpha: move exports to actual definitions") also
    removed the exports of the math emulator hooks, which are defined in C
    code. In case anyone cares about the option of CONFIG_MATHEMU=m, add
    exports next to those definitions. Also add a MODULE_LICENSE.

  • 13da9e200   Revert "endian: #define __BYTE_ORDER" ... Browse Code »

    This reverts commit b3b77c8caef1750ebeea1054e39e358550ea9f55, which was
    also totally broken (see commit 0d2daf5cc858 that reverted the crc32
    version of it). As reported by Stephen Rothwell, it causes problems on
    big-endian machines:

    > In file included from fs/jfs/jfs_types.h:33,
    > from fs/jfs/jfs_incore.h:26,
    > from fs/jfs/file.c:22:
    > fs/jfs/endian24.h:36:101: warning: "__LITTLE_ENDIAN" is not defined

    The kernel has never had that crazy "__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN"
    model. It's not how we do things, and it isn't how we _should_ do
    things. So don't go there.

  • b3b77c8ca   endian: #define __BYTE_ORDER ... Browse Code »

    Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes
    some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian. Lets
    #define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for
    header files that are used in user space too.

    In userspace the convention is that

    1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined,
    2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

    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!
