  • 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

  • Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want
    this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining
    consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header.
    This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/
    seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

  • Move prototypes and in-core structures to fs/ufs/ similar to what most
    other filesystems already do.

    I made little modifications: move also ufs debug macros and
    mount options constants into fs/ufs/ufs.h, this stuff
    also private for ufs.

  • Currently to turn on debug mode "user" has to edit ~10 files, to turn off he
    has to do it again.

    This patch introduce such changes:
    1)turn on(off) debug messages via ".config"
    2)remove unnecessary duplication of code
    3)make "UFSD" macros more similar to function
    4)fix some compiler warnings

  • There are two ugly macros in ufs code:
    #define UCPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)ucpi)
    #define USPI_UBH ((struct ufs_buffer_head *)uspi)
    when uspi looks like
    struct {
    struct ufs_buffer_head ;
    }
    and USPI_UBH has some sence,
    ucpi looks like
    struct {
    struct not_ufs_buffer_head;
    }

    To prevent bugs in future, this patch convert macros to inline function and
    fix "ucpi" structure.

  • 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!
