  • 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

  • - The LEDs register is write-only: it can't be read-modify-written.
    - The LEDs are write-1-for-off not 0.
    - The check for the platform was inverted.

  • Now that the only field in struct sys_timer is .init, delete the struct,
    and replace the machine descriptor .timer field with the initialization
    function itself.

    This will enable moving timer drivers into drivers/clocksource without
    having to place a public prototype of each struct sys_timer object into
    include/linux; the intent is to create a single of_clocksource_init()
    function that determines which timer driver to initialize by scanning
    the device dtree, much like the proposed irqchip_init() at:
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg203686.html

    Includes mach-omap2 fixes from Igor Grinberg.

  • Since we're now using addruart to establish the debug mapping, we can
    remove the io_pg_offst and phys_io members of struct machine_desc.

    The various declarations were removed using the following script:

    grep -rl MACHINE_START arch/arm | xargs \
    sed -i '/MACHINE_START/,/MACHINE_END/ { /\.\(phys_io\|io_pg_offst\)/d }'

    [ Initial patch was from Jeremy Kerr, example script from Russell King ]

  • 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!
