One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len *
// sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL);

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

commit e2860e1f62f2 ("serial: 8250_of: Add reset support")
introduced reset support for the 8250_of driver.However it unconditionally uses the assert/deassert pair to
deassert reset on the device at probe and assert it at
remove. This does not work with systems that have a
self-deasserting reset controller, such as Gemini, that
recently added a reset controller.As a result, the console will not probe on the Gemini with
this message:Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 1 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
of_serial: probe of 42000000.serial failed with error -524This (-ENOTSUPP) is the error code returned by the
deassert() operation on self-deasserting reset controllers.To work around this, implement dummy .assert() and
.deassert() operations in the Gemini combined clock and
reset controller. This fixes the issue on this system.Cc: Joel Stanley

The Cortina Systems Gemini (SL3516/CS3516) has an on-chip clock
controller that derive all clocks from a single crystal, using some
documented and some undocumented PLLs, half dividers, counters and
gates. This is a best attempt to construct a clock driver for the
clocks so at least we can gate off unused hardware and driver the
PCI bus clock.Acked-by: Philipp Zabel
