  • b24413180   License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license ... Browse Code »

    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

  • f07726048   Fix handling of backlash character in LINUX_COMPILE_BY name ... Browse Code »

    When using a domain login, `whoami` returns the login in
    user\domain format. This leads to either warnings on unrecognised
    escape sequences or escaped characters being generated for the user.
    This patch ensures that any backslash is escaped to a double-backslash
    to make sure the name is preserved correctly. This patch does not
    enforce escaping on the KBUILD_BUILD_USER variable, as this is something
    the user has control of and can escape if required.

  • 87c94bfb8   kbuild: override build timestamp & version ... Browse Code »

    Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION to make it
    possible to override kernel build version
    during build time.

    Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to make it
    possible to override kernel build timestamp
    during build time.

    But variables are useful mainly by distros
    that want to pass info from an SCM when
    building the kernel. Timestamp could be last
    checkin date for a file etc.

    The idea came from Olaf Hering

  • 895a39a08   [PATCH] Make mkcompile_h use LANG=C and LC_ALL=C for $CC -v ... Browse Code »

    Fix a minor bug in mkcompile_h. As one can see, the current locale is used
    while getting the version of gcc. This produces problems when a locale
    other than C or en_US is used. As an example, my /proc/version contains
    Turkish characters in iso-8859-9 encoding.

    This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the C locale is used to get
    gcc's version.

  • bd5bdd875   kbuild: "PREEMPT" in UTS_VERSION ... Browse Code »

    From: Matt Mackall

    Add PREEMPT to UTS_VERSION where enabled as is done for SMP to make
    preempt kernels easily identifiable.
    Added SMP PREEMPT as comment in compile.h to force it to be
    updated when they change (sam).

    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!
