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

Ensure that genheaders fails with an error if too many permissions
are defined in a class to fit within an access vector. This is similar
to a check performed by checkpolicy when compiling the policy.Also, fix the suffix on the permission constants generated by this program.

Compiling with clang and -Wundef makes the compiler report a usage of

^PF_MAX is defined in include/linux/socket.h but not in
include/uapi/linux/socket.h. Therefore host programs have to rely on the
definition from libc's /usr/include/bits/socket.h, included by
.Fix the issue by using sys/socket.h in mdp and genheaders. When
classmap.h is included by security/selinux/avc.c, it uses the kernel
definition of PF_MAX, which makes the test consistent.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss

Commit 3322d0d64f4e ("selinux: keep SELinux in sync with new capability
definitions") added a check on the defined capabilities without
explicitly including the capability header file which caused problems
when building genheaders for users of clang/llvm. Resolve this by
using the kernel headers when building genheaders, which is arguably
the right thing to do regardless, and explicitly including the
kernel's capability.h header file in classmap.h. We also update the
mdp build, even though it wasn't causing an error we really should
be using the headers from the kernel we are building.Reported-by: Nicolas Iooss

The security_is_socket_class() is auto-generated by genheaders based
on classmap.h to reduce maintenance effort when a new class is defined
in SELinux kernel. The name for any socket class should be suffixed by
"socket" and doesn't contain more than one substr of "socket".Signed-off-by: Harry Ciao

If a permission name is long enough the selinux class definition generation
tool will go into a infinite loop. This is because it's macro max() is
fooled into thinking it is dealing with unsigned numbers. This patch makes
sure the macro always uses signed number so 1 > -1.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

Add a simple utility (scripts/selinux/genheaders) and invoke it to
generate the kernel-private class and permission indices in flask.h
and av_permissions.h automatically during the kernel build from the
security class mapping definitions in classmap.h. Adding new kernel
classes and permissions can then be done just by adding them to classmap.h.Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley
