      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      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.

      arm64: use WFE for long delays · 7b77452e
      Julien Thierry authored
      
      The current delay implementation uses the yield instruction, which is a
      hint that it is beneficial to schedule another thread. As this is a hint,
      it may be implemented as a NOP, causing all delays to be busy loops. This
      is the case for many existing CPUs.
      
      Taking advantage of the generic timer sending periodic events to all
      cores, we can use WFE during delays to reduce power consumption. This is
      beneficial only for delays longer than the period of the timer event
      stream.
      
      If timer event stream is not enabled, delays will behave as yield/busy
      loops.

      arm_arch_timer: Expose event stream status · ec5c8e42
      Julien Thierry authored
      
      The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending
      said CPU.
      
      In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays),
      we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as
      properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure
      that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.

      clocksource/drivers/sp804: Convert init function to return error · 2ef2538b
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      
      The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:
      
        - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
             make the system boot up correctly
      
        or
      
        - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system
      
      Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
      to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.
      
      Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
      by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
      function.

      clocksource: arch_timer: Add support for memory mapped timers · 22006994
      Stephen Boyd authored
      
      Add support for the memory mapped timers by filling in the
      read/write functions and adding some parsing code. Note that we
      only register one clocksource, preferring the cp15 based
      clocksource over the mmio one.
      
      To keep things simple we register one global clockevent. This
      covers the case of UP and SMP systems with only mmio hardware and
      systems where the memory mapped timers are used as the broadcast
      timer in low power modes.
      
      The DT binding allows for per-CPU memory mapped timers in case we
      want to support that in the future, but the code isn't added
      here. We also don't do much for hypervisor support, although it
      should be possible to support it by searching for at least two
      frames where one frame has the virtual capability and then
      updating KVM timers to support it.

      clocksource: arch_timer: Make register accessors less error-prone · e09f3cc0
      Stephen Boyd authored
      
      Using an enum for the register we wish to access allows newer
      compilers to determine if we've forgotten a case in our switch
      statement. This allows us to remove the BUILD_BUG() instances in
      the arm64 port, avoiding problems where optimizations may not
      happen.
      
      To try and force better code generation we're currently marking
      the accessor functions as inline, but newer compilers can ignore
      the inline keyword unless it's marked __always_inline. Luckily on
      arm and arm64 inline is __always_inline, but let's make
      everything __always_inline to be explicit.

      clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters · 0d651e4e
      Mark Rutland authored
      
      Switching between reading the virtual or physical counters is
      problematic, as some core code wants a view of time before we're fully
      set up. Using a function pointer and switching the source after the
      first read can make time appear to go backwards, and having a check in
      the read function is an unfortunate block on what we want to be a fast
      path.
      
      Instead, this patch makes us always use the virtual counters. If we're a
      guest, or don't have hyp mode, we'll use the virtual timers, and as such
      don't care about CNTVOFF as long as it doesn't change in such a way as
      to make time appear to travel backwards. As the guest will use the
      virtual timers, a (potential) KVM host must use the physical timers
      (which can wake up the host even if they fire while a guest is
      executing), and hence a host must have CNTVOFF set to zero so as to have
      a consistent view of time between the physical timers and virtual
      counters.

      clocksource: add samsung pwm timer driver · f1189989
      Tomasz Figa authored
      
      This adds a new clocksource driver for the PWM timer that is
      present in most Samsung SoCs, based on the existing driver in
      arch/arm/plat-samsung/samsung-time.c and many changes implemented by
      Tomasz Figa.
      
      Originally, the conversion of all Samsung machines to the new driver was
      planned for 3.10, but that work ended up being too late and too invasive
      just before the merge window.
      
      Unfortunately, other changes in the Exynos platform resulted in some
      Exynos4 setups, particularly the Universal C210 board to be broken. In
      order to fix that with minimum risk, so we now leave the existing pwm
      clocksource driver in place for all older platforms and use the new
      driver only for device tree enabled boards. This way, we can get the
      broken machines running again using DT descriptions.
      
      All clocksource changes were implemented by Tomasz, while the DT
      registration was rewritten by Arnd.

      This converts arm and arm64 to use CLKSRC_OF DT based initialization for

      This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There
      should not be any reason not to use the arch timers for sched_clock.

      The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
      the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
      counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.
