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>netlink: fix nla_put_{u8,u16,u32} for KASAN</title>

<id>b4391db42308c9940944b5d7be5ca4b78fb88dd0</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled, the "--param asan-stack=1" causes rather large
stack frames in some functions. This goes unnoticed normally because
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is disabled with CONFIG_KASAN by default as of commit
3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with
KASAN=y").

The kernelci.org build bot however has the warning enabled and that led
me to investigate it a little further, as every build produces these warnings:

net/wireless/nl80211.c:4389:1: warning: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/wireless/nl80211.c:1895:1: warning: the frame size of 3776 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/wireless/nl80211.c:1410:1: warning: the frame size of 2208 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/bridge/br_netlink.c:1282:1: warning: the frame size of 2544 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

Most of this problem is now solved in gcc-8, which can consolidate
the stack slots for the inline function arguments. On older compilers
we can add a workaround by declaring a local variable in each function
to pass the inline function argument.

Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. Basically, updates to the conntrack core, enhancements for
nf_tables, conversion of netfilter hooks from linked list to array to
improve memory locality and asorted improvements for the Netfilter
codebase. More specifically, they are:

1) Add expection to hashes after timer initialization to prevent
   access from another CPU that walks on the hashes and calls
   del_timer(), from Florian Westphal.

2) Don't update nf_tables chain counters from hot path, this is only
   used by the x_tables compatibility layer.

3) Get rid of nested rcu_read_lock() calls from netfilter hook path.
   Hooks are always guaranteed to run from rcu read side, so remove
   nested rcu_read_lock() where possible. Patch from Taehee Yoo.

4) nf_tables new ruleset generation notifications include PID and name
   of the process that has updated the ruleset, from Phil Sutter.

5) Use skb_header_pointer() from nft_fib, so we can reuse this code from
   the nf_family netdev family. Patch from Pablo M. Bermudo.

6) Add support for nft_fib in nf_tables netdev family, also from Pablo.

7) Use deferrable workqueue for conntrack garbage collection, to reduce
   power consumption, from Patch from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan.

8) Add nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() helper and use it. From Florian
   Westphal.

9) Call nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy only from cttimeout, from Florian.

10) Drop references on conntrack removal path when skbuffs has escaped via
    nfqueue, from Florian.

11) Don't queue packets to nfqueue with dying conntrack, from Florian.

12) Constify nf_hook_ops structure, from Florian.

13) Remove neededlessly branch in nf_tables trace code, from Phil Sutter.

14) Add nla_strdup(), from Phil Sutter.

15) Rise nf_tables objects name size up to 255 chars, people want to use
    DNS names, so increase this according to what RFC 1035 specifies.
    Patch series from Phil Sutter.

16) Kill nf_conntrack_default_on, it's broken. Default on conntrack hook
    registration on demand, suggested by Eric Dumazet, patch from Florian.

17) Remove unused variables in compat_copy_entry_from_user both in
    ip_tables and arp_tables code. Patch from Taehee Yoo.

18) Constify struct nf_conntrack_l4proto, from Julia Lawall.

19) Constify nf_loginfo structure, also from Julia.

20) Use a single rb root in connlimit, from Taehee Yoo.

21) Remove unused netfilter_queue_init() prototype, from Taehee Yoo.

22) Use audit_log() instead of open-coding it, from Geliang Tang.

23) Allow to mangle tcp options via nft_exthdr, from Florian.

24) Allow to fetch TCP MSS from nft_rt, from Florian. This includes
    a fix for a miscalculation of the minimal length.

25) Simplify branch logic in h323 helper, from Nick Desaulniers.

26) Calculate netlink attribute size for conntrack tuple at compile
    time, from Florian.

27) Remove protocol name field from nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto structure.
    From Florian.

28) Remove holes in nf_conntrack_l4proto structure, so it becomes
    smaller. From Florian.

29) Get rid of print_tuple() indirection for /proc conntrack listing.
    Place all the code in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c.
    Patch from Florian.

30) Do not built in print_conntrack() if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS is
    off. From Florian.

31) Constify most nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto helper functions, from
    Florian.

32) Fix broken indentation in ebtables extensions, from Colin Ian King.

33) Fix several harmless sparse warning, from Florian.

34) Convert netfilter hook infrastructure to use array for better memory
    locality, joint work done by Florian and Aaron Conole. Moreover, add
    some instrumentation to debug this.

35) Batch nf_unregister_net_hooks() calls, to call synchronize_net once
    per batch, from Florian.

36) Get rid of noisy logging in ICMPv6 conntrack helper, from Florian.

37) Get rid of obsolete NFDEBUG() instrumentation, from Varsha Rao.

38) Remove unused code in the generic protocol tracker, from Davide
    Caratti.

I think I will have material for a second Netfilter batch in my queue if
time allow to make it fit in this merge window.

9) Call nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy only from cttimeout, from Florian.

10) Drop references on conntrack removal path when skbuffs has escaped via
    nfqueue, from Florian.

20) Use a single rb root in connlimit, from Taehee Yoo.

21) Remove unused netfilter_queue_init() prototype, from Taehee Yoo.

22) Use audit_log() instead of open-coding it, from Geliang Tang.

23) Allow to mangle tcp options via nft_exthdr, from Florian.

24) Allow to fetch TCP MSS from nft_rt, from Florian. This includes
    a fix for a miscalculation of the minimal length.

25) Simplify branch logic in h323 helper, from Nick Desaulniers.

26) Calculate netlink attribute size for conntrack tuple at compile
    time, from Florian.

27) Remove protocol name field from nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto structure.

    Florian.

32) Fix broken indentation in ebtables extensions, from Colin Ian King.

33) Fix several harmless sparse warning, from Florian.

34) Convert netfilter hook infrastructure to use array for better memory
    locality, joint work done by Florian and Aaron Conole. Moreover, add
    some instrumentation to debug this.

35) Batch nf_unregister_net_hooks() calls, to call synchronize_net once
    per batch, from Florian.

36) Get rid of noisy logging in ICMPv6 conntrack helper, from Florian.

<title>net netlink: Add new type NLA_BITFIELD32</title>

Generic bitflags attribute content sent to the kernel by user.
With this netlink attr type the user can either set or unset a
flag in the kernel.

The value is a bitmap that defines the bit values being set
The selector is a bitmask that defines which value bit is to be
considered.

A check is made to ensure the rules that a kernel subsystem always
conforms to bitflags the kernel already knows about. i.e
if the user tries to set a bit flag that is not understood then
the _it will be rejected_.

In the most basic form, the user specifies the attribute policy as:
[ATTR_GOO] = { .type = NLA_BITFIELD32, .validation_data = &amp;myvalidflags },

where myvalidflags is the bit mask of the flags the kernel understands.

If the user _does not_ provide myvalidflags then the attribute will
also be rejected.

Examples:
value = 0x0, and selector = 0x1
implies we are selecting bit 1 and we want to set its value to 0.

value = 0x2, and selector = 0x2
implies we are selecting bit 2 and we want to set its value to 1.

Add the base infrastructure and UAPI for netlink extended ACK
reporting. All "manual" calls to netlink_ack() pass NULL for now and
thus don't get extended ACK reporting.

Big thanks goes to Pablo Neira Ayuso for not only bringing up the
whole topic at netconf (again) but also coming up with the nlattr
passing trick and various other ideas.

<title>net: ipv6: Change notifications for multipath add to RTA_MULTIPATH</title>

<id>3b1137fe74829e021f483756a648cbb87c8a1b4a</id>
<content type='text'>
Change ip6_route_multipath_add to send one notifciation with the full
route encoded with RTA_MULTIPATH instead of a series of individual routes.
This is done by adding a skip_notify flag to the nl_info struct. The
flag is used to skip sending of the notification in the fib code that
actually inserts the route. Once the full route has been added, a
notification is generated with all nexthops.

ip6_route_multipath_add handles 3 use cases: new routes, route replace,
and route append. The multipath notification generated needs to be
consistent with the order of the nexthops and it should be consistent
with the order in a FIB dump which means the route with the first nexthop
needs to be used as the route reference. For the first 2 cases (new and
replace), a reference to the route used to send the notification is
obtained by saving the first route added. For the append case, the last
route added is used to loop back to its first sibling route which is
the first nexthop in the multipath route.
