  • b24413180   License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license ... Browse Code »

    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

  • 803711afd   PNP: Compile all pnp built-in stuff in one module namespace ... Browse Code »

    This is cleanup mostly, nothing urgent.
    I came up with it when looking at dynamic debug which can
    enable pr_debug messages at runtime or boot param
    for a specific module.

    Advantages:
    - Any pnp code can make use of the moduleparam.h interface, the modules
    will show up as pnp.param.
    - Passing pnp.ddebug as kernel boot param will enable all pnp debug messages
    with my previous patch and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.

  • ac88a8f3f   PNP: remove old CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG option ... Browse Code »

    CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG is no longer used to turn on dev_dbg() in PNP,
    since we have pnp_dbg() which can be enabled at boot-time, so
    this patch removes the config option.

    Note that pnp_dock_event() checks "#ifdef DEBUG". But there's
    never been a clear path for enabling that via configgery. It
    happened that CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG enabled it after 1bd17e63a068db6,
    but that was accidental and only in 2.6.26.

  • ed458df4d   PnP: move pnpacpi/pnpbios_init to after PCI init ... Browse Code »

    We already did that a long time ago for pnp_system_init, but
    pnpacpi_init and pnpbios_init remained as subsys_initcalls, and get
    linked into the kernel before the arch-specific routines that finalize
    the PCI resources (pci_subsys_init).

    This means that the PnP routines would either register their resources
    before the PCI layer could, or would be unable to check whether a PCI
    resource had already been registered. Both are problematic.

    I wanted to do this before 2.6.27, but every time we change something
    like this, something breaks. That said, _every_ single time we trust
    some firmware (like PnP tables) more than we trust the hardware itself
    (like PCI probing), the problems have been worse.

  • a05d07816   PNP: use dev_info(), dev_err(), etc in core ... Browse Code »

    If we have the struct pnp_dev available, we can use dev_info(), dev_err(),
    etc., to give a little more information and consistency.

    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!
