      treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array() · 6da2ec56
      Kees Cook authored
      
      The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
      patch replaces cases of:
      
              kmalloc(a * b, gfp)
      
      with:
              kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)
      
      as well as handling cases of:
      
              kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
      
      with:
      
              kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
      
      as it's slightly less ugly than:
      
              kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
      
      This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
      
              kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
      
      though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
      
      Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
      dropped, since they're redundant.
      
      The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
      implementation of kmalloc().
      
      The Coccinelle script used for this was:
      
      // Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

      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.

      argv_split(): teach it to handle mutable strings · 095d141b
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      
      argv_split() allocates argv[count_argc(str)] array and assumes that it
      will find the same number of arguments later.  This is obviously wrong if
      this string can be changed, say, by sysctl.
      
      With this patch argv_split() kstrndup's the whole string and does not
      split it, we simply replace the spaces with zeroes and keep the allocated
      memory in argv[-1] for argv_free(arg).
      
      We do not use argv[0] because:
      
      	- str can be all-spaces or empty. In fact this case is fine,
      	  we could kfree() it before return, but:
      
      	- str can have a space at the start, and we can not rely on
      	  kstrndup(skip_spaces(str)) because it can equally race if
      	  this string is mutable.
      
      Also, simplify count_argc() and kill the no longer used skip_arg().

      tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function · e7d2860b
      André Goddard Rosa authored
      Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
      spaces from strings all over the tree.
      
      It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
         text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
        64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
        64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)
      
      Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
      remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
      evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
      "a char equals zero is never a space".

      add argv_split() · d84d1cc7
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      
      argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
      whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector.  This is
      deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.
      
      [ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
        the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
        steal or replace.  Keep an eye out. ]
