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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<title>sched/isolcpus: Fix "isolcpus=" boot parameter handling when !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK</title>

cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as a limit to parse the
passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits
represents varies depending upon the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option:

 - If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is the same as
   NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of CPUs that really exist
   (default 64). So, there's a chance of a gap between nr_cpu_ids
   and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse()
   operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on an 8 cpu
   system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error
   that it's supposed to.

This patch fixes this bug by finding the last CPU of the passed
isolcpus= list and checking it against nr_cpu_ids.

It also fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be
nr_cpu_ids-1, since CPU numbering starts from 0.

<title>cpumask: make cpumask_next() out-of-line</title>

Every for_each_XXX_cpu() invocation calls cpumask_next() which is an
inline function:

	static inline unsigned int cpumask_next(int n, const struct cpumask *srcp)
	{
	        /* -1 is a legal arg here. */
	        if (n != -1)
	                cpumask_check(n);
	        return find_next_bit(cpumask_bits(srcp), nr_cpumask_bits, n + 1);
	}

However!

find_next_bit() is regular out-of-line function which means "nr_cpu_ids"
load and increment happen at the caller resulting in a lot of bloat

x86_64 defconfig:
	add/remove: 3/0 grow/shrink: 8/373 up/down: 155/-5668 (-5513)
x86_64 allyesconfig-ish:
	add/remove: 3/1 grow/shrink: 57/634 up/down: 3515/-28177 (-24662) !!!

Some archs redefine find_next_bit() but it is OK:

	m68k		inline but SMP is not supported
	arm		out-of-line
	unicore32	out-of-line

Function call will happen anyway, so move load and increment into callee.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.

Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:

1)
	kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));

"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.

2)
	while (loff_t *pos &lt; nr_cpu_ids)

MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.

Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

More users for for_each_cpu_wrap() have appeared. Promote the construct
to generic cpumask interface.

The implementation is slightly modified to reduce arguments.

<title>cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned</title>

Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices but
"nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable sign
extensions occur on x86_64.  Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat by number of
uses across whole kernel.

Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
after all.  It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64 without
MOVSX.

Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.

Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
or comparison is already unsigned.

"cpu_t" which is whole separate story).

<title>cpumask: Add helper cpumask_available()</title>

<content type='text'>
With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y cpumask_var_t is a struct cpumask
pointer, otherwise a struct cpumask array with a single element.

Some code dealing with cpumasks needs to validate that a cpumask_var_t
is not a NULL pointer when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. This is typically
done by performing the check always, regardless of the underlying type
of cpumask_var_t. This works in both cases, however clang raises a
warning like this when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n:

kernel/irq/manage.c:839:28: error: address of array
'desc-&gt;irq_common_data.affinity' will always evaluate to 'true'
[-Werror,-Wpointer-bool-conversion]

Add the inline helper cpumask_available() which only performs the
pointer check if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.
