  • 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 a78ff1112263 ("um: add extended processor state save/restore
    support") and b6024b21fec8 ("um: extend fpstate to _xstate to support
    YMM registers") forced the use of the x86 FP _xstate and
    PTRACE_GETREGSET/SETREGSET. On older hosts, we would neither be able to
    build UML nor run it anymore with these two commits applied because we
    don't have definitions for struct _xstate nor these two ptrace requests.

    We can determine at build time which fp context structure to check
    against, just like we can keep using the old i387 fp save/restore if
    PTRACE_GETRESET/SETREGSET are not defined.

  • In order to introduce new arch_prctls that are not 64 bit only, rename the
    existing 64 bit implementation to do_arch_prctl_64(). Also rename the
    second argument of that function from 'addr' to 'arg2', because it will no
    longer always be an address.

  • The x86 specific arch_prctl() arbitrarily changed prctl's 'option' to
    'code'. Before adding new options, rename it.

  • This patch extends save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() to use
    PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET with the XSTATE note type, adding
    support for new processor state extensions between context switches.

    When the new ptrace requests are unavailable, it falls back to the old
    PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS methods, which have been renamed to
    save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers().

    Now these functions expect *fp_regs to have the space of an _xstate struct.
    Thus, this also makes ptrace in UML responde to PTRACE_GETFPREGS/_SETFPREG
    requests with a user_i387_struct (thus independent from HOST_FP_SIZE), and
    by calling save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers() instead of
    the extended save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() functions.

  • On recent toolchains we hit:
    In file included from arch/x86/um/os-Linux/prctl.c:7:0:
    /usr/include/linux/ptrace.h:58:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct

    make[1]: *** [arch/x86/um/os-Linux] Error 2
    make: *** [arch/x86/um] Error 2

    The solution is not to include linux/ptrace.h and obtain
    the arch specific ptrace command from asm/ptrace.h.
