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.

This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART
device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device
probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too.
The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual
serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller)
and one is on the host CPU side.
This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC
userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at
what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host
on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system
(though most of them use 3f8/4).
OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the
VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard
mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind
to the device, and clear it on unbind.
We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this
bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether
the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

pxa2xx-uart was a separate uart platform driver. It was declaring
the same device names and numbers as 8250 driver. As a result,
it was impossible to use 8250 driver on PXA SoCs.
Upon closer examination pxa2xx-uart turned out to be a clone of
8250_core driver.
Workaround for Erratum #19 according to Marvel(R) PXA270M Processor
Specification Update (April 19, 2010) is dropped. 8250_core reads
from FIFO immediately after checking DR bit in LSR.
The patch leaves the original SERIAL_PXA driver around. The original
driver is just marked DEPRECATED in Kconfig and C source. When
the original driver is considered safe to remove, no changes
to SERIAL_8250 will be necessary.
Compiling SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE and SERIAL_PXA_CONSOLE even without
SERIAL_8250_PXA breaks console for SERIAL_PXA. For this reasons, the new
and the original drivers are made mutually exclusive.

The SoCs, such as Intel Braswell, have DesignWare UART IP. Split out the
support of such chips to a separate module which also will be used for Intel
Quark later.
The rationale to have the separate driver to be existing:
- Do not contaminate 8250_pci.c anymore with LPSS related quirks
- All of them are using same DMA engine and they are Designware IP which means
that in the future we might share the code between 8250_dw.c and 8250_lpss.c
- It reduces the kernel memory footprint on non-X86 machines where 8250_pci.c
is in use
Besides the split the driver also has been refactored, in particular a) the DMA
and port setup are separate functions, b) the two new structures lpss8250 and
lpss8250_board are introduced to keep necessary data instead of
pciserial_board, c) DMA parameters are passed to the DMA setup via mentioned
custom structure. Most of the changes are done due to the future support of
UART DMA on Intel Quark.
The Intel Quark UART DMA support is based on bits taking from BSP code
published by Intel earlier.
The driver does not use any specific power management. PCI core takes care of
the default behaviour during suspend and resume.

The 8250_fintek driver advertises as the PNP0501 driver; however this
conflicts with the standard 16550A uart PNP0501. The conflict causes
the 8250_fintek driver to load with _every_ PNP0501, but never probe,
and causing the entire 8250 driver stack to unload if the 8250_fintek
driver is unloaded (modprobe doesn't know that 8250_pnp rather than
8250_fintek claimed the resource).
This patch merges the Fintek driver into 8250_base. On autoconfig_16550
the device is probed to verify if it is a FINTEK device or not.
This custom probing can be disabled completely via configuration. When a
Fintek device is not probed it will behave as a standard 16550A device,
with no RS485 capabilities.

The bcm2835 SOC contains an auxiliary uart, which is very close
to the ns16550 with some differences.
The big difference is that the uart HW is not using an internal divider
of 16 but 8, which results in an effictive baud-rate being twice
the requested baud-rate.
This driver handles this device correctly and handles the difference in
the HW divider by scaling up the clock by a factor of 2.
The approach to write a separate (wrapper) driver instead of using a
multiplying clock and "ns16550" as compatibility in the device-tree
has been recommended by Stephen Warren.

Intel MID UART quirks require already quite a bit of code
in 8250_pci.c. On new Intel platforms where it is used, the
integrated DMA engine no longer has its own PCI device, but
is instead configured from the UART's MMIO. That means we
will have to add even more code for handling just MID UARTs.
Instead of adding that to 8250_pci.c, splitting the support
of Intel MID UART into its own driver. Handling of the
integrated DMA engine becomes much simpler this way. Own
driver will also remove the need for things like specific
set_termios hooks for every board using this UART, and
simplify the handling of it in general.

This patch provides a 8250-core based UART driver for the internal OMAP
UART. The long term goal is to provide the same functionality as the
current OMAP uart driver and DMA support.
I tried to merge omap-serial code together with the 8250-core code.
There should should be hardly a noticable difference. The trigger levels
are different compared to omap-serial:
- omap serial
TX: Interrupt comes after TX FIFO has room for 16 bytes.
TX of 4096 bytes in one go results in 256 interrupts
RX: Interrupt comes after there is on byte in the FIFO.
RX of 4096 bytes results in 4096 interrupts.
- this driver
TX: Interrupt comes once the TX FIFO is empty.
TX of 4096 bytes results in 65 interrupts. That means there will
be gaps on the line while the driver reloads the FIFO.
RX: Interrupt comes once there are 48 bytes in the FIFO or less over
"longer" time frame. We have
1 / 11520 * 10^3 * 16 => 1.38… ms
1.38ms to react and purge the FIFO on 115200,8N1. Since the other
driver fired after each byte it had ~5.47ms time to react. This
_may_ cause problems if one relies on no missing bytes and has no
flow control. On the other hand we get only 85 interrupts for the
same amount of data.
It has been only tested as console UART on am335x-evm, dra7-evm and
beagle bone. I also did some longer raw-transfers to meassure the load.
The device name is ttyS based instead of ttyO. If a ttyO based node name
is required please ask udev for it. If both driver are activated (this
and omap-serial) then this serial driver will take control over the
device due to the link order
v9…v10:
- Tony noticed that omap3 won't show anything after waking up
from core off. In v9 I reworked the register restore and set
IER to 0 by accident. This went unnoticed because start_tx
usually sets ier (either due to DMA bug or due to TX-complete
IRQ).
- dropped EFR and SLEEP from capabilities. We do have both but
nobody should touch it. We already handle SLEEP ourself.
- make the private copy of the registers (like EFR) u8 instead
u32
- drop MDR1 & DL[ML] reset in restore registers. Does not look
required it is set to the required value later.
- update MDR1 & SCR only if changed.
- set MDR1 as the last thing. The errata says that we should
setup everything before MDR1 set.
- avoid div by 0 in omap_8250_get_divisor() if baud rate gets
very large (Frans Klaver fixed the same thing omap-serial)
- drop "is in early stage" from Kconfig.
v8…v9:
- less on a file seems to hang the am335x after a while. I
believe I introduce this bug a while ago since I can reproduce
this prior to v8. Fixed by redoing the omap8250_restore_regs()
v7…v8:
- redo the register write. There is now one function for that
which is used from set_termios() and runtime-resume.
- drop PORT_OMAP_16750 and move the setup to the omap file. We
have our own set termios function anyway (Heikki Krogerus)
- use MEM instead of MEM32. TRM of AM/DM37x says that 32bit
access on THR might result in data abort. We only need 32bit
access in the errata function which is before we use 8250's
read function so it doesn't matter.
v4…v7:
- change trigger levels after some tests with raw transfers.
v3…v4:
- drop RS485 support
- wire up ->throttle / ->unthrottle
v2…v3:
- wire up startup & shutdown for wakeup-irq handling.
- RS485 handling (well the core does).
v1…v2:
- added runtime PM. Could somebody could please double check
this?
- added omap_8250_set_termios()

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk

kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete

delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").
* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA
The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.
This commit removes the MCA specific 8250 UART code.

This is V2 of the Emma Mobile 8250 platform driver.
The hardware itself has according to the data sheet
up to 64 byte FIFOs but at this point we only make
use of the 16550 compatible mode.
To support this piece of hardware the common UART
registers need to be remapped, and the access size
differences need to be handled.
The DLL and DLM registers can due to offset collision
not be remapped easily, and because of that this
driver makes use of ->dl_read() and ->dl_write()
callbacks. This in turn requires a registration
function that takes 8250-specific paramenters.
Future potential enhancements include DT support,
early platform driver console and fine grained PM.

The drivers/tty/serial dir is already getting rather busy.
Relocate the 8250 related drivers to their own subdir to
reduce the clutter.
Note that sunsu.c is not included in this move -- it is
8250-like hardware, but it does not use any of the existing
infrastructure -- and does not depend on SERIAL_8250.
