Merge tag 'spdx_identifiers-4.14-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH: "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files
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 <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

perf test attr: Fix python error on empty result
Commit d78ada4a767 ("perf tests attr: Do not store failed events") does not create an event file in the /tmp directory when the perf_open_event() system call failed.
This can lead to a situation where not /tmp/event-xx-yy-zz result file exists at all (for example on a s390x virtual machine environment) where no CPUMF hardware is available.
The following command then fails with a python call back chain instead of printing failure:
[root@s8360046 perf]# /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ \ -p ./perf -v -ttest-stat-basic running './tests/attr//test-stat-basic' Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tests/attr.py", line 379, in <module> main() File "./tests/attr.py", line 370, in main run_tests(options) File "./tests/attr.py", line 311, in run_tests Test(f, options).run() File "./tests/attr.py", line 300, in run self.compare(self.expect, self.result) File "./tests/attr.py", line 248, in compare exp_event.diff(res_event) UnboundLocalError: local variable 'res_event' referenced before assignment [root@s8360046 perf]#
This patch catches this pitfall and prints an error message instead:

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "Kernel side changes:
- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)
- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)
- Export some PMU capability details in the new /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi Kleen)
- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)
- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)
- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)
On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and git history for details:
UI improvements:
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook 81.93 │ ├──je 20 │ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip) │ │↓ jne 29 │ │↓ jmp 43 11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in callchain entries (Jin Yao)
Example from one of Jin's patches:
# perf record -g -j any,save_type # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children
38.50% div.c:45 [.] main div | ---main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)
namespaces support:
- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)
perf trace enhancements:
- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including: sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data' CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf stat enhancements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using {} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
pipe mode improvements:
- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:
- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was already there (Adrian Hunter)"

ASoC: Fixes for v4.13
Quite a few fixes here that have been sent since the merge window, the biggest one is the fix from Tony for some confusion with the device property API which was causing issues with the of-graph card. This is fixed with some changes in the graph API itself as it seemed very likely to be error prone.

Merge airlied/drm-next into drm-intel-next-queued
Resync with upstream to avoid git getting too badly confused. Also, we have a conflict with the drm_vblank_cleanup removal, which cannot be resolved
Merge airlied/drm-next into drm-intel-next-queued
Resync with upstream to avoid git getting too badly confused. Also, we have a conflict with the drm_vblank_cleanup removal, which cannot be resolved by simply taking our side. Bake that in properly.

Merge airlied/drm-next into drm-misc-next
I need this to be able to apply the deferred fbdev setup patches, I need the relevant prep work that landed through the drm-intel tree.
Also squash in conf

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.13-20170718' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. We still need to work more to deal with namespaces that vanish before we can get the needed data to do analysis, but this should be as good as what is in bcc now (Krister Johansen)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook 81.93 │ ├──je 20 │ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip) │ │↓ jne 29 │ │↓ jmp 43 11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in callchain entries (Jin Yao)
Example from one of Jin's patches:
# perf record -g -j any,save_type # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children
38.50% div.c:45 [.] main div | ---main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Infrastructure changes:
- 'perf test attr' fixes (Jiri Olsa)
Vendor events changes:
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
