141b6b2ad7 net: add a generic tracepoint for TX queue timeout
Although devlink health report does a nice job on reporting TX
timeout and other NIC errors, unfortunately it requires drivers
to support it but currently only mlx5 has implemented it.
Before other drivers could catch up, it is useful to have a
generic tracepoint to monitor this kind of TX timeout. We have
been suffering TX timeout with different drivers, we plan to
start to monitor it with rasdaemon which just needs a new tracepoint.

Sample output:

  ksoftirqd/1-16    [001] ..s2   144.043173: net_dev_xmit_timeout: dev=ens3 driver=e1000 queue=0

b0e3f1bdf9 net: Add trace events for all receive exit points
Trace events are already present for the receive entry points, to indicate
how the reception entered the stack.

This patch adds the corresponding exit trace events that will bound the
reception such that all events occurring between the entry and the exit
can be considered as part of the reception context. This greatly helps
for dependency and root cause analyses.

Without this, it is not possible with tracepoint instrumentation to
determine whether a sched_wakeup event following a netif_receive_skb
event is the result of the packet reception or a simple coincidence after
further processing by the thread. It is possible using other mechanisms
like kretprobes, but considering the "entry" points are already present,
it would be good to add the matching exit events.

In addition to linking packets with wakeups, the entry/exit event pair
can also be used to perform network stack latency analyses.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
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.

ae78dbfa40 net: Add trace events for all receive entry points, exposing more skb fields
The existing net/netif_rx and net/netif_receive_skb trace events
provide little information about the skb, nor do they indicate how it
entered the stack.

Add trace events at entry of each of the exported functions, including
most fields that are likely to be interesting for debugging driver
datapath behaviour.  Split netif_rx() and netif_receive_skb() so that
internal calls are not traced.

d87d04a785 net: Add net_dev_start_xmit trace event, exposing more skb fields
The existing net/net_dev_xmit trace event provides little information
about the skb that has been passed to the driver, and it is not
simple to add more since the skb may already have been freed at
the point the event is emitted.

Add a separate trace event before the skb is passed to the driver,
including most fields that are likely to be interesting for debugging
driver datapath behaviour.

ec764bf083 net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden
5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes)
