  • The conversion is actually:
    - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
    - fix tables markups;
    - add some lists markups;
    - mark literal blocks;
    - adjust title markups.

    At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
    the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

  • 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

  • "fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or
    fail_page_alloc" added tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to make it
    easier to inject slab/page allocation failures by fault injection.

    failcmd.sh prints the following warning when running with arguments
    for command.

    # ./failcmd.sh echo aaa
    failcmd.sh: line 209: [: echo: binary operator expected
    aaa

    This warning is caused by an improper check whether at least one
    parameter is left after parsing command options.

    Fix it by testing the length of $1 instead of $@

  • This adds tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to run a command while
    injecting slab/page allocation failures via fault injection.

    Example:

    Run a command "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests" with
    injecting slab allocation failure.

    # ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh \
    -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

    Same as above except to specify 100 times failures at most instead of
    one time at most by default.

    # ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
    -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

    Same as above except to inject page allocation failure instead of slab
    allocation failure.

    # env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
    ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
    -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests
