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

All uses of the BKL in qnx4 were the result of a pushdown into
code that doesn't really need it. As Christoph points out, this
is a read-only file system, which eliminates most of the races in
readdir/lookup.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as wellSince the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek(). This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets. Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck

qnx4 wrte support has never been fully implement, is broken since the dawn
of time and hasn't been actively developed since before git history
started.Instead of letting it further bitrot and complicate API transition (like
the new truncate code) remove it.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

* have directory operations use mark_buffer_dirty_inode(),
so that sync_mapping_buffers() would get those.
* make qnx4_write_inode() honour its last argument.
* get rid of insane copies of very ancient "walk the indirect blocks"
in qnx4/fsync - they never matched the actual fs layout and, fortunately,
never'd been called. Again, all this junk is not needed; ->fsync()
should just do sync_mapping_buffers + sync_inode (and if we implement
block allocation for qnx4, we'll need to use mark_buffer_dirty_inode()
for extent blocks)Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixupsThe goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven

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!
