  • The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
    extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
    variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
    introduced in C99:

    struct foo {
    int stuff;
    struct boo array[];
    };

    By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
    in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
    will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
    inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

    Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
    this change:

    "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
    may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
    zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

    Lastly, fix checkpatch.pl warning
    WARNING: __aligned(size) is preferred over __attribute__((aligned(size)))
    in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

    This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

  • 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

  • This change prepares for upcoming on-demand xtables hook registration.

    We change the protoypes of the register/unregister functions.
    A followup patch will then add nf_hook_register/unregister calls
    to the iptables one.

    Once a hook is registered packets will be picked up, so all assignments
    of the form

    net->ipv4.iptable_$table = new_table

    have to be moved to ip(6)t_register_table, else we can see NULL
    net->ipv4.iptable_$table later.

    This patch doesn't change functionality; without this the actual change
    simply gets too big.

  • Remove non-UAPI Kbuild files that have become empty as a result of UAPI
    disintegration. They used to have only header-y lines in them and those have
    now moved to the Kbuild files in the corresponding uapi/ directories.

    Possibly these should not be removed but rather have a comment inserted to say
    they are intentionally left blank. This would make it easier to add generated
    header lines in future without having to restore the infrastructure.

    Note that at this point not all the UAPI disintegration parts have been merged,
    so it is likely that more empty Kbuild files will turn up.

    It is probably necessary to make the files non-empty to prevent the patch
    program from automatically deleting them when it reduces them to nothing.

  • Greg Steuck points out that some of the netfilter
    headers can't be used in userspace without including linux/types.h
    first. The headers include their own linux/types.h include statements,
    these are stripped by make headers-install because they are inside
    #ifdef __KERNEL__ however. Move them out to fix this.

    Reported and Tested by Greg Steuck.

  • Typical table module registers xt_table structure (i.e. packet_filter)
    and link it to list during it. We can't use one template for it because
    corresponding list_head will become corrupted. We also can't unregister
    with template because it wasn't changed at all and thus doesn't know in
    which list it is.

    So, we duplicate template at the very first step of table registration.
    Table modules will save it for use during unregistration time and actual
    filtering.

    Do it at once to not screw bisection.

    P.S.: renaming i.e. packet_filter => __packet_filter is temporary until
    full netnsization of table modules is done.

  • 66 and 67 for getsockopt on IPv6 socket is doubly used for IPv6 Advanced
    API and ip6tables. This moves numbers for ip6tables to 68 and 69.
    This also kills XT_SO_* because {ip,ip6,arp}_tables doesn't have so much
    common numbers now.

    The old userland tools keep to behave as ever, because old kernel always
    calls functions of IPv6 Advanced API for their numbers.

  • This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
    structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
    ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
    allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
    isn't (yet?) ideal.

    o introduce a new x_tables module
    o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
    o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
    wrappers around x_tables provided functions
    o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
    are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
    to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
    o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
    include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
    around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

    Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
    gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

  • 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!
