  • 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

  • asm-generic/hardirq.h needs asm/irq.h which might include
    linux/interrupt.h as in the sparc 32 case. At this point
    we need irq_cpustat generic definitions, but those are
    included later in asm-generic/hardirq.h.

    Then delay a bit the inclusion of irq.h from
    asm-generic/hardirq.h, it doesn't need to be included early.

    This fixes:

    include/linux/interrupt.h: In function '__raise_softirq_irqoff':
    include/linux/interrupt.h:414: error: implicit declaration of function 'local_softirq_pending'
    include/linux/interrupt.h:414: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

  • Since the beginnings in aafe4dbed0bf6cbdb2e9f03e1d42f8a540d8541d
    ("asm-generic: add generic versions of common headers") the generic
    version of defined __softirq_pending as unsigned long.

    Which is different from other architectures for no apparent good reason
    and was causing the following warning:

    kernel/time/tick-sched.c: In function 'tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick':
    kernel/time/tick-sched.c:261: warning: format '%02x' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'long unsigned int'

    Reported and initial patch by Wu Zhangjin .

    [ Arnd points out that we really should make sure parisc and alpha are
    ok with this, since they have also been converted to use the generic
    hardirq.h file. But neither seems to use it, although parisc does
    build a IRQSTAT_SIRQ_PEND #define into asm-offsets - but that also
    appears unused.. - Linus ]

  • Architechtures normally don't need to set a HARDIRQ_BITS
    unless they have hardcoded a specific value in assembly.
    This drops the definition from asm-generic/hardirq.h, which
    results in linux/hardirq.h setting its default of 10.

    Both the old default of 8 and the linux/hardirq.h default
    of 10 are sufficient because they only limit the number
    of nested hardirqs, and we normally run out of stack space
    much earlier than exceeding 256 or even 1024 nested interrupts.

  • These are all kernel internal interfaces that get copied
    around a lot. In most cases, architectures can provide
    their own optimized versions, but these generic versions
    can work as well.

    I have tried to use the most common contents of each
    header to allow existing architectures to migrate easily.

    Thanks to Remis for suggesting a number of cleanups.
