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 553f770ef71b ("ipc: move compat shmctl to native") moved the
compat IPC syscall handling into ipc/shm.c and refactored the struct
accessors in the process. Unfortunately, the call to
copy_compat_shmid_to_user when handling a compat {IPC,SHM}_STAT command
gets the arguments the wrong way round, passing a kernel stack address
as the user buffer (destination) and the user buffer as the kernel stack
address (source).This patch fixes the parameter ordering so the buffers are accessed
correctly.Cc: Al Viro

Replacing semop()'s kmalloc for kvmalloc was originally proposed by
Manfred on the premise that it can be called for large (than order-1)
sizes. For example, while Oracle recommends setting SEMOPM to a _minimum_
of 100, some distros[1] encourage the setting to be a factor of the amount
of db tasks (PROCESSES), which can get fishy for large systems (easily
going beyond 1000).[1] An Example of Semaphore Settings

allocations we do in ipc. While the fallback vmalloc obviously involves
more overhead, this by far the uncommon path, and it's better for the user
than just erroring out with kmalloc.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170803184136.13855-2-dave@stgolabs.net

There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair. This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in
exit_sem() with spin_lock() followed immediately by spin_unlock().
This should be safe from a performance perspective because exit_sem()
is rarely invoked in production.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

When building with the randstruct gcc plugin, the layout of the IPC
structs will be randomized, which requires any sub-structure accesses to
use container_of(). The proc display handlers were missing the needed
container_of()s since the iterator is passing in the top-level struct
kern_ipc_perm.This would lead to crashes when running the "lsipc" program after the
system had IPC registered (e.g. after starting up Gnome):general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
