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 5620a0d1aac ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") removed the
entire firmware directory. Unfortunately it thereby also removed the
support for built-in firmware.This restores the ability to build firmware directly into the kernel by
pruning the original Makefile to the necessary minimum. The default for
EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR is now the standard directory /lib/firmware/.Fixes: 5620a0d1aac ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware")

When building the firmware blobs, use a simple loop to create
directories in $(objtree), like in Makefile.build. This simplifies the
rules and also makes it possible to set $(objtree) to '.' later. Before
this change, a dependency on $(objtree)/ would be satisfied by
in $(srctree).When installing the firmware blobs, call mkdir like in Makefile.modinst.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.
2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.
3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.
4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.
5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.
6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.
7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
Borkmann.8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.From Eric Dumazet.
10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
allocator c) less waste of space.From Eric Dumazet.
11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.
12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
From Stephen Hemminger.13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user

1/ Since commit 858d4aa7 "isci: Move firmware loading to per PCI device" we have
been silently falling back to built-in defaults for the parameter settings by

3/ The latest oem parameter definition flips the mode_type values which are
now 0: for APC 1: for MPC. For APC we need to make sure all the phys
default to the same address otherwise strict_wide_ports will cause duplicate
domains.4/ Fix up the driver announcement to indicate the source of the

ihex firmwares can include a jump address for starting execution. Add a
-j option which will cause this to be written into the generated file as a
record with address zero and data consisting of the address to jump to,
allowing drivers to make use of this information.This format is chosen because it most closely follows the original ihex
format, though it may make more sense to write a record with length zero
and the address stored as the address. The records are not omitted by
default since our ihex format does not include record type information and
so including additional records may lead to confusion.Signed-off-by: Mark Brown
