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

preempt_mask.h defines all the preempt_count semantics and related
symbols: preempt, softirq, hardirq, nmi, preempt active, need resched,
etc...preempt.h defines the accessors and mutators of preempt_count.
But there is a messy dependency game around those two header files:
* preempt_mask.h includes preempt.h in order to access preempt_count()
* preempt_mask.h defines all preempt_count semantic and symbols
except PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED that is needed by asm/preempt.h
Thus we need to define it from preempt.h, right before including
asm/preempt.h, instead of defining it to preempt_mask.h with the
other preempt_count symbols. Therefore the preempt_count semantics
happen to be spread out.* We plan to introduce preempt_active_[enter,exit]() to consolidate
preempt_schedule*() code. But we'll need to access both preempt_count
mutators (preempt_count_add()) and preempt_count symbols
(PREEMPT_ACTIVE, PREEMPT_OFFSET). The usual place to define preempt
operations is in preempt.h but then we'll need symbols in
preempt_mask.h which already includes preempt.h. So we end up with
a ressource circle dependency.Lets merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h to solve these dependency issues.
This way we gather semantic symbols and operation definition of
preempt_count in a single file.This is a dumb copy-paste merge. Further merge re-arrangments are
performed in a subsequent patch to ease review.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason.
So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the
function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on
load/store archs).Also expose two new local_bh functions:
__local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt);
Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour.
The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock
functions.With build fixes from Jacob Pan.

Impact: remove unused code
__local_bh_enable has been replaced with _local_bh_enable.
As comments says "it always nests inside local_bh_enable() sections"
has not been valid now. Also there is no reason to use __local_bh_enable
anywhere, so we can remove this useless function.Signed-off-by: Liming Wang

With CONFIG_SMP=n:
drivers/input/ff-memless.c:384: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_disable'
drivers/input/ff-memless.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_enable'Really linux/spinlock.h should include linux/interrupt.h. But interrupt.h
includes sched.h which will need spinlock.h.So the patch breaks the _bh declarations out into a separate header and
includes it in both interrupt.h and spinlock.h.Cc: "Randy.Dunlap"
