  • 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

  • Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification.
    Standardized the location of __printf too.

    Done via script and a little typing.

    $ grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | \
    grep -vP "^(tools|scripts|include/linux/compiler-gcc.h)" | \
    xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (<>) { s/\b__attribute__\s*\(\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*\)\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }'

  • -tip testing found the following build breakage:

    drivers/built-in.o: In function `xen_suspend':
    manage.c:(.text+0x4390f): undefined reference to `xen_console_resume'

    with this config:

    http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Thu_May_29_09_23_16_CEST_2008.bad

    i have bisected it down to:

    | commit 0e91398f2a5d4eb6b07df8115917d0d1cf3e9b58
    | Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
    | Date: Mon May 26 23:31:27 2008 +0100
    |
    | xen: implement save/restore

    the problem is that drivers/xen/manage.c is built unconditionally if
    CONFIG_XEN is enabled and makes use of xen_suspend(), but
    drivers/char/hvc_xen.c, where the xen_suspend() method is implemented,
    is only build if CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y as well.

    i have solved this by providing a NOP implementation for xen_suspend()
    in the !CONFIG_HVC_XEN case.

  • Add code to:

    1. Deal with the console page being canonicalized. During save, the
    console's mfn in the start_info structure is canonicalized to a pfn.
    In order to deal with that, we always use a copy of the pfn and
    indirect off that all the time. However, we fall back to using the
    mfn if the pfn hasn't been initialized yet.

    2. Restore the console event channel, and rebind it to the existing irq.

  • Add a couple of functions which can write directly to the Xen console
    for debugging. This output ends up on the host's dom0 console
    (assuming it allows the domain to write there).
