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.

Managed interrupts need to reserve interrupt vectors permanently, but as
long as the interrupt is deactivated, the vector should not be active.
Reserve a new system vector, which can be used to initially initialize
MSI/DMAR/IOAPIC entries. In that situation the interrupts are disabled in
the corresponding MSI/DMAR/IOAPIC devices. So the vector should never be
sent to any CPU.
When the managed interrupt is started up, a real vector is assigned from
the managed vector space and configured in MSI/DMAR/IOAPIC.
This allows a clear separation of inactive and active modes and simplifies
the final decisions whether the global vector space is sufficient for CPU
offline operations.
The vector space can be reserved even on offline CPUs and will survive CPU
offline/online operations.

Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but
require no action from S/W (or action is optional).These errors provide
info about a latent UC MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is
consumed by the processor.
Processors that report these errors can be configured to generate APIC
interrupts to notify OS about the error.
Provide an interrupt handler in this patch so that OS can catch these
errors as and when they happen. Currently, we simply log the errors and
exit the handler as S/W action is not mandated.

When X86_LOCAL_APIC (i.e. unconditionally on x86-64),
first_system_vector will never end up being higher than
LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR (0xef), and hence building stubs for vectors
0xef...0xff is pointlessly reducing code density. Deal with this at
build time already.
Taking into consideration that X86_64 implies X86_LOCAL_APIC, also
simplify (and hence make easier to read and more consistent with the
change done here) some #if-s in arch/x86/kernel/irqinit.c.
While we could further improve the packing of the IRQ entry stubs (the
four ones now left in the last set could be fit into the four padding
bytes each of the final four sets have) this doesn't seem to provide
any real benefit: Both irq_entries_start and common_interrupt getting
cache line aligned, eliminating the 30th set would just produce 32
bytes of padding between the 29th and common_interrupt.

Posted Interrupt feature requires a special IPI to deliver posted interrupt
to guest. And it should has a high priority so the interrupt will not be
blocked by others.
Normally, the posted interrupt will be consumed by vcpu if target vcpu is
running and transparent to OS. But in some cases, the interrupt will arrive
when target vcpu is scheduled out. And host will see it. So we need to

There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains
a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who
knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of
some other code.
Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real
vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the
middle.
This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.
The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc
through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times
per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the
development tree.
This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet
functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might
involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

Make the maxium TLB invalidate vectors depend on NR_CPUS linearly,
with a maximum of 32 vectors.
We currently only have 8 vectors for TLB invalidation and that is clearly
inadequate. If we have a lot of CPUs, the CPUs need share the 8 vectors and
tlbstate_lock is used to protect them. flush_tlb_page() is
heavily used in page reclaim, which will cause a lot of lock
contention for tlbstate_lock.
Andi Kleen suggested increasing the vectors number to 32, which should be
good for current typical systems to reduce the tlbstate_lock contention.
My test system has 4 sockets and 64G memory, and 64 CPUs. My
workload creates 64 processes. Each process mmap reads a big
empty sparse file. The total size of the files are 2*total_mem,
so this will cause a lot of page reclaim.
Below is the result I get from perf call-graph profiling:
without the patch:
------------------
24.25% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|
|--42.15%-- native_flush_tlb_others
with the patch:
------------------
14.96% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|--13.89%-- native_flush_tlb_others
So this heavily reduces the tlbstate_lock contention.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the
callback vector delivery mechanism.
The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen
is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device.
The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive
notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate
a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

After talking to some more folks inside intel (Peter Anvin, Asit Mallick),
the safest option (for future compatibility etc) seen was to use vector 0x20
for IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR instead of using vector 0x1f (which is documented as
reserved vector in the Intel IA32 manuals).
Also we don't need to reserve the entire privilege level (all 16 vectors in
the priority bucket that IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR falls into), as the
x86 architecture (section 10.9.3 in SDM Vol3a) specifies that with in the
priority level, the higher the vector number the higher the priority.
And hence we don't need to reserve the complete priority level 0x20-0x2f for
the IRQ migration cleanup logic.
So change the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to 0x20 and allow 0x21-0x2f to be used
for device interrupts. 0x30-0x3f will be used for ISA interrupts (these
also can be migrated in the context of IOAPIC and hence need to be at a higher
priority level than IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR).

We want to use a vector-assignment sequence that avoids stumbling onto
0x80 earlier in the sequence, in order to improve the spread of
vectors across priority levels on machines with a small number of
interrupt sources. Right now, this is done by simply making the first
vector (0x31 or 0x41) completely unusable. This is unnecessary; all
we need is to start assignment at a +1 offset, we don't actually need
to prohibit the usage of this vector once we have wrapped around.

Reclaim 16 IDT vectors and make them available for general allocation.
Reclaim vectors 0x20-0x2f by reallocating the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR
to vector 0x1f. This is in the range of vector numbers that is
officially reserved for the CPU (for exceptions), however, the use of
the APIC to generate any vector 0x10 or above is documented, and the
CPU internally can receive any vector number (the legacy BIOS uses INT
0x08-0x0f for interrupts, as messed up as that is.)
Since IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR has to be alone in the lowest-numbered
priority level (block of 16), this effectively enables us to reclaim
an otherwise-unusable APIC priority level and put it to use.
Since this is a transient kernel-only allocation we can change it at
any time, and if/when there is an exception at vector 0x1f this
assignment needs to be changed as part of OS enabling that new feature.

For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled
triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(),
producing ugly backtraces and confusing users.
This is a common situation with machine checks for example which
tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit
in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it
means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which
would be bad.
This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function,
which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other
CPUs.
On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU
smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic
situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex
system state.
I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic
there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch
was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the
underlying complexity problems.
The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by
checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make
this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution
because panic has to be reliable.
So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot
code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus
in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on
too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be
called from interupts off region because it is very very simple.
There can be situations where it is important that panic
is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic
is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly
as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and
all function it calls simple.
This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme.
It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not
particularly precious anymore since all big systems are
using per CPU vectors.
Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar
to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't
work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs
would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts
off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for
using a non NMI vector for now.
I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of
the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down
instead into the next lower priority.

Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.
This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().
When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.
