  • 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

  • We are having build failure with m32r and the error message being:

    __ucmpdi2 is introduced to m32r architecture taking example from other
    architectures like h8300, microblaze, mips.

  • Update {get,put}_user macros for m32r kernel.
    - Modify get_user to use __get_user_asm macro, instead of __get_user_x macro.
    - Remove arch/m32r/lib/{get,put}user.S.
    - Some cosmetic updates.

    I would like to thank NIIBE Yutaka for his reporting about the m32r kernel's
    security problem in {get,put}_user macros.

    There were no address checking for user space access in {get,put}_user macros.

  • Fix and update for gcc-4.0.

    - arch/m32r/kernel/signal.c:
    Change type of the 8th parameter of sys_rt_sigsuspend() from
    'struct pt_regs' to 'struct pt_regs *'.
    This functions make use of the 'regs' parameter to return status value,
    but gcc-4.0 optimizes and removes it as a dead code.
    Functions, sys_sigaltstack() and sys_rt_sigreturn(), have also modified.

    - arch/m32r/lib/usercopy.c, include/asm-m32r/uaccess.h:
    Add early-clobber constraints('&') to output values of asm statements;
    these constraints seems to be required for gcc-4.0 register assignment.

  • I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
    sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
    from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
    by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
    this disentangling (patch to follow later).
    However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

    In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
    possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
    i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
    patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
    adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
    hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
    will pick it up again in the next round.

  • 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!
