  • 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

  • Change the CONFIG_DMAR to CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU to be consistent
    with the other IOMMU options.

    Rename the CONFIG_INTR_REMAP to CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP to match the
    irq subsystem name.

    And define the CONFIG_DMAR_TABLE for the common ACPI DMAR
    routines shared by both CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU and CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP.

  • The patch contains Intel IOMMU IA64 specific code. It defines new
    machvec dig_vtd, hooks for IOMMU, DMAR table detection, cache line flush
    function, etc.

    For a generic kernel with CONFIG_DMAR=y, if Intel IOMMU is detected,
    dig_vtd is used for machinve vector. Otherwise, kernel falls back to
    dig machine vector. Kernel parameter "machvec=dig" or "intel_iommu=off"
    can be used to force kernel to boot dig machine vector.

  • screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
    included by tty.h. This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
    directly include screen_info.h. struct screen_info is mainly used to
    communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console. Note that this
    patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it. If there is a
    mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

  • 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!
