  • 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

  • 390192b30   compat_ioctl: fix warning caused by qemu ... Browse Code »

    On Linux x86_64 host with 32bit userspace, running
    qemu or even just "qemu-img create -f qcow2 some.img 1G"
    causes a kernel warning:

    ioctl32(qemu-img:5296): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00005326){t:'S';sz:0} arg(7fffffff) on some.img
    ioctl32(qemu-img:5296): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(801c0204){t:02;sz:28} arg(fff77350) on some.img

    ioctl 00005326 is CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS,
    ioctl 801c0204 is FDGETPRM.

    The warning appears because the Linux compat-ioctl handler for these
    ioctls only applies to block devices, while qemu also uses the ioctls on
    plain files.

  • 9e49184c8   floppy: support arbitrary first-sector numbers ... Browse Code »

    The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting
    from 0 or 1. This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for
    example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks.

    This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch)
    to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9).

    Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a
    first sector number of 0. We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK
    as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.

    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!
