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

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

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.

perf test: Add test cases for new data source encoding

2017-08-22T16:23:10+00:00

Add some simple tests to perf test to test data source printing.

v2: Make the tests actually checked for the correct name of Forward
v3: Adjust to new encoding

Committer notes:

Avoid the in place declaration to make this build with older compilers,
for instance, in Debian 7 we get:

  tests/mem.c: In function 'test__mem':
  tests/mem.c:30:5: error: missing initializer [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]
  tests/mem.c:30:5: error: (near initialization for '(anonymous)..mem_snoop') [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]

So just zero a struct, then go on building the unions as needed,
reusing settings from the previous test, i.e. local -> remote, etc.

perf test: Add infrastructure to run shell based tests

2017-08-11T19:06:22+00:00

To allow testing by directly using perf tools in scripts, checking that
the effects on the system are the ones expected and that the output
produced is as well the desired one.

For instance, adding a probe at a well known location with 'perf probe',
then checking that the results from using that probe to record are the
desired ones, etc.

The next csets will introduce tests using this new testing
infrastructure.

The scripts should return 0 for Ok, 1 for FAIL and 2 for SKIP.

perf test: Add 'struct test *' to the test functions

2017-08-11T13:42:53+00:00

This way we'll be able to pass more test specific parameters without
having to change this function signature.

Will be used by the upcoming 'shell tests', shell scripts that will
call perf tools and check if they work as expected, comparing its
effects on the system (think 'perf probe foo') the output produced, etc.

perf test: Disable breakpoint signal tests for powerpc

2017-06-05T17:18:01+00:00

The following tests are failing on powerpc:

  # perf test break
  18: Breakpoint overflow signal handler  : FAILED!
  19: Breakpoint overflow sampling        : FAILED!

The powerpc kenel so far does not have support to even create
instruction breakpoints using the perf event interface, so those tests
fail early in the config phase.

I added a '->is_supported()' callback to test struct to be able to
disable specific tests. It seems better than putting ifdefs directly to
the test array.

perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON

2017-03-23T14:39:27+00:00

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.

This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"

v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
    Support multiple free variables for parser

Committer note:

The v2 patch had:

  %define api.pure full

In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:

  %pure-parser

Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.

I added:

  CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w

To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
another parser.

perf clang: Add builtin clang support ant test case

2016-12-05T18:51:43+00:00

Add basic clang support in clang.cpp and test__clang() testcase. The
first testcase checks if builtin clang is able to generate LLVM IR.

tests/clang.c is a proxy. Real testcase resides in
utils/c++/clang-test.cpp in c++ and exports C interface to perf test
subsystem.

Test result:

   $ perf test -v clang
   51: builtin clang support                               :
   51.1: Test builtin clang compile C source to IR              :

Committer note:

Make sure you've enabled CLANG and LLVM builtin support by setting
the LIBCLANGLLVM variable on the make command line, e.g.:

  make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin

Otherwise you'll get this when trying to do the 'perf test' call above:

perf tools: Introduce perf hooks

2016-11-29T15:13:27+00:00

Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.

To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
an error to help debugging.

A test case for perf hook is introduced.

Test result:
  $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook
  50: Test perf hooks                                          :
