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.

Some call sites of stop_machine() are within a get_online_cpus() protected
region.

stop_machine() calls get_online_cpus() as well, which is possible in the
current implementation but prevents converting the hotplug locking to a
percpu rwsem.

Provide stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid nested calls to get_online_cpus().

<content type='text'>
Currently the full stop_machine() routine is only enabled on SMP if
module unloading is enabled, or if the CPUs are hotpluggable.  This
leads to configurations where stop_machine() is broken as it will then
only run the callback on the local CPU with irqs disabled, and not stop
the other CPUs or run the callback on them.

For example, this breaks MTRR setup on x86 in certain configs since
ea8596bb2d8d379 ("kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and
text_poke_smp_batch() functions") as the MTRR is only established on the
boot CPU.

This patch removes the Kconfig option for STOP_MACHINE and uses the SMP
and HOTPLUG_CPU config options to compile the correct stop_machine() for
the architecture, removing the false dependency on MODULE_UNLOAD in the
process.

<title>stop_machine: Make cpu_stop_queue_work() and stop_one_cpu_nowait() return bool</title>

<content type='text'>
Change cpu_stop_queue_work() to return true if the work was queued and
change stop_one_cpu_nowait() to return the result of cpu_stop_queue_work().
This makes it more useful, for example now you can alloc cpu_stop_work for
stop_one_cpu_nowait() and free it in the callback or if stop_one_cpu_nowait()
fails, currently this is impossible because you can't know if @fn will be

Also, this allows to kill cpu_stop_done-&gt;executed, see the next changes.

Change cpu_stop_queue_work() to return true if the work was queued and
change stop_one_cpu_nowait() to return the result of cpu_stop_queue_work().
This makes it more useful, for example now you can alloc cpu_stop_work for
stop_one_cpu_nowait() and free it in the callback or if stop_one_cpu_nowait()
fails, currently this is impossible because you can't know if @fn will be
called or not.

Also, this allows to kill cpu_stop_done-&gt;executed, see the next changes.

<title>stop_machine: Kill smp_hotplug_thread-&gt;pre_unpark, introduce stop_machine_unpark()</title>

1. Change smpboot_unpark_thread() to check -&gt;selfparking, just
   like smpboot_park_thread() does.

2. Introduce stop_machine_unpark() which sets -&gt;enabled and calls
   kthread_unpark().

3. Change smpboot_thread_call() and cpu_stop_init() to call
   stop_machine_unpark() by hand.

This way:

    - IMO the -&gt;selfparking logic becomes more consistent.

    - We can kill the smp_hotplug_thread-&gt;pre_unpark() method.

    - We can easily unpark the stopper thread earlier. Say, we
      can move stop_machine_unpark() from smpboot_thread_call()
      to sched_cpu_active() as Peter suggests.

<title>stop_machine: Ensure that a queued callback will be called before cpu_stop_park()</title>

cpu_stop_queue_work() checks stopper-&gt;enabled before it queues the
work, but -&gt;enabled == T can only guarantee cpu_stop_signal_done()
if we race with cpu_down().

This is not enough for stop_two_cpus() or stop_machine(), they will
deadlock if multi_cpu_stop() won't be called by one of the target
CPU's. stop_machine/stop_cpus are fine, they rely on stop_cpus_mutex.
But stop_two_cpus() has to check cpu_active() to avoid the same race
with hotplug, and this check is very unobvious and probably not even
correct if we race with cpu_up().

Change cpu_down() pass to clear -&gt;enabled before cpu_stopper_thread()
flushes the pending -&gt;works and returns with KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK set.

Note also that smpboot_thread_call() calls cpu_stop_unpark() which
sets enabled == T at CPU_ONLINE stage, so this CPU can't go away until
cpu_stopper_thread() is called at least once. This all means that if
cpu_stop_queue_work() succeeds, we know that work-&gt;fn() will be called.

Cosmetic, but 'cpu_stop_fn_t' actually makes the code more readable and
it doesn't break cscope. And most of the declarations already use it.

Introduce stop_two_cpus() in order to allow controlled swapping of two
tasks. It repurposes the stop_machine() state machine but only stops
the two cpus which we can do with on-stack structures and avoid
machine wide synchronization issues.

The ordering of CPUs is important to avoid deadlocks. If unordered then
two cpus calling stop_two_cpus on each other simultaneously would attempt
to queue in the opposite order on each CPU causing an AB-BA style deadlock.
By always having the lowest number CPU doing the queueing of works, we can
guarantee that works are always queued in the same order, and deadlocks
are avoided.
