  • 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 always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
    did it late at lookup time. It turns out that we can simplify that
    lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
    instead of late.

    A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
    pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.

    Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
    NULL pointer as a no-salt.

  • When TOMOYO started using garbage collector at commit 847b173e "TOMOYO: Add
    garbage collector.", we waited for close() before kfree(). Thus, elements to be
    kfree()d were queued up using tomoyo_gc_list list.

    But it turned out that tomoyo_element_linked_by_gc() tends to choke garbage
    collector when certain pattern of entries are queued.

    Since garbage collector is no longer waiting for close() since commit 2e503bbb
    "TOMOYO: Fix lockdep warning.", we can remove tomoyo_gc_list list and
    tomoyo_element_linked_by_gc() by doing sequential processing.

  • To be able to start using enforcing mode from the early stage of boot sequence,
    this patch adds support for built-in policy configuration (and next patch adds
    support for activating access control without calling external policy loader
    program).

  • Mauras Olivier reported that it is difficult to use TOMOYO in LXC environments,
    for TOMOYO cannot distinguish between environments outside the container and
    environments inside the container since LXC environments are created using
    pivot_root(). To address this problem, this patch introduces policy namespace.

    Each policy namespace has its own set of domain policy, exception policy and
    profiles, which are all independent of other namespaces. This independency
    allows users to develop policy without worrying interference among namespaces.
