      Kbuild: suppress packed-not-aligned warning for default setting only · 321cb030
      Xiongfeng Wang authored
      
      gcc-8 reports many -Wpacked-not-aligned warnings. The below are some
      examples.
      
      ./include/linux/ceph/msgr.h:67:1: warning: alignment 1 of 'struct
      ceph_entity_addr' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
       } __attribute__ ((packed));

      ceph_entity_addr' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
       } __attribute__ ((packed));
      
      This patch suppresses this kind of warnings for default setting.

      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.

      Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings by default · 4324cb23
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      
      Previously the warnings were added back at the W=1 level and above, this
      now turns them on again by default, assuming that we have addressed all
      warnings and again have a clean build for v4.10.
      
      I found a number of new warnings in linux-next already and submitted
      bugfixes for those.  Hopefully they are caught by the 0day builder in
      the future as soon as this patch is merged.

      Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1" · a76bcf55
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables
      enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it
      also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation
      of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases
      [2].
      
      Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false
      positives, and in commit e74fc973 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized
      when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that
      was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.  This drastically reduced the number
      of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had
      the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig'
      builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and
      remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed.
      
      With commit 877417e6 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
      definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7
      and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in
      an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings
      for ARM randconfig builds.
      
      However, commit 6e8d666e ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning
      globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for
      all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had
      not addressed until then.  This caused a lot of actual bugs to get
      merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during
      the v4.9 development cycle.  Most of these are actual bugs, some are for
      correct code that is safe because it is only called under external
      constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees,
      and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can
      obviously never happen.
      
      I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected
      all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can
      provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is
      interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch
      the actual bugs earlier.
      
      This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now
      brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into
      mainline without introducing false positives.  A follow-up patch enables
      it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because
      of false-positives.

      kbuild: move -Wunused-const-variable to W=1 warning level · c9c6837d
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      
      gcc-6 started warning by default about variables that are not
      used anywhere and that are marked 'const', generating many
      false positives in an allmodconfig build, e.g.:
      
      arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da830-evm.c:282:20: warning: 'da830_evm_emif25_pins' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
      arch/arm/plat-omap/dmtimer.c:958:34: warning: 'omap_timer_match' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
      drivers/bluetooth/hci_bcm.c:625:39: warning: 'acpi_bcm_default_gpios' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
      drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c:92:18: warning: 'reg_map_omap4' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
      drivers/devfreq/exynos/exynos5_bus.c:381:32: warning: 'exynos5_busfreq_int_pm' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
      drivers/dma/mv_xor.c:1139:34: warning: 'mv_xor_dt_ids' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
      
      This is similar to the existing -Wunused-but-set-variable warning
      that was added in an earlier release and that we disable by default
      now and only enable when W=1 is set, so it makes sense to do
      the same here. Once we have eliminated the majority of the
      warnings for both, we can put them back into the default list.
      
      We probably want this in backport kernels as well, to allow building
      them with gcc-6 without introducing extra warnings.

      kbuild: Demote 'sign-compare' warning to W=2 · 7599ea8b
      Lee Jones authored
      
      Ideally, a kernel compile with W=1 enabled should complete cleanly;
      however, when we run one currently we are presented with ~25k warnings.
      'sign-compare' accounts for ~22k of those ~25k.
      
      In this patch we're demoting 'sign-compare' warnings to W=2, with a view
      to fixing the remaining 3k W=1 warnings required for a clean build.
      
      Arnd adds:
        "As per our discussion, I'd add that this was inadvertedly introduced
         by Behan when he moved the clang specific warnings into an ifdef block
         and did not notice that -Wsign-compare was interpreted by both gcc
         and clang.
      
         Earlier, it was introduced in just the same way by Jan-Simon as part
         of 3d3d6b84 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux: Adapt warnings for compilation
         with clang")."
