  • In commit b6b2735514bc
    ("tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes")
    the newly introduced str_has_prefix() was used
    to replace error-prone strncmp(str, const, len).
    Here fix codes with the same pattern.

  • Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

    The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
    duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
    instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
    architectures.

    Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
    down to, e.g.

    static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
    {
    return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
    }

    static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
    {
    return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
    }

    These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
    XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

    For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
    possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

    These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
    accessors to the new header.

    This patch (of 12):

    The linux/mm.h header includes to allow inlining of the
    functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
    pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include
    in the files that include .

    The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

    for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
    sed -i -e '/include / d' $f
    done

  • In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
    programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

    It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
    selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

    This commit renames like follows:

    always -> always-y
    hostprogs-y -> hostprogs

    So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

    always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
    always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
    ...
    hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

    I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
    program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
    which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

    The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
    compatibility for a while.

  • 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

  • There are very few files that need add an -I$(obj) gcc for the preprocessor
    or the assembler. For C files, we add always these for both the objtree and
    srctree, but for the other ones we require the Makefile to add them, and
    Kbuild then adds it for both trees.

    As a preparation for changing the meaning of the -I$(obj) directive to
    only refer to the srctree, this changes the two instances in arch/x86 to use
    an explictit $(objtree) prefix where needed, otherwise we won't find the
    headers any more, as reported by the kbuild 0day builder.

    Both targets were broken due to some missing defines to re-map ELF

    implementation for the bootloader.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
    process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
    malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.

    The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
    free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
    allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.

    This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
    all the malloc/free implementations.

    The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
    - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
    allocations should be made
    - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
    allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
    the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed

    The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
    function call. This function will be called several times during the
    decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
    still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
    define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
    arch_decomp_wdog().

    Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
    kernel and improved by me.

    This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h

  • 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!
