2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2015-06-25lib/sort: Add 64 bit swap functionDaniel Wagner
In case the call side is not providing a swap function, we either use a 32 bit or a generic swap function. When swapping around pointers on 64 bit architectures falling back to use the generic swap function seems like an unnecessary waste. There at least 9 users ('sort' is of difficult to grep for) of sort() and all of them use the sort function without a customized swap function. Furthermore, they are all using pointers to swap around: arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:sanitize_e820_map() arch/x86/mm/extable.c:sort_extable() drivers/acpi/fan.c:acpi_fan_get_fps() fs/btrfs/super.c:btrfs_descending_sort_devices() fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_block.c:xfs_dir2_sf_to_block() kernel/range.c:clean_sort_range() mm/memcontrol.c:__mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:snd_hda_parse_pin_defcfg() sound/pci/hda/hda_auto_parser.c:sort_pins_by_sequence() Obviously, we could improve the swap for other sizes as well but this is overkill at this point. A simple test shows sorting a 400 element array (try to stay in one page) with either with u32_swap() or u64_swap() show that the theory actually works. This test was done on a x86_64 (Intel Xeon E5-4610) machine. - swap_32: NumSamples = 100; Min = 48.00; Max = 49.00 Mean = 48.320000; Variance = 0.217600; SD = 0.466476; Median 48.000000 each * represents a count of 1 48.0000 - 48.1000 [ 68]: ******************************************************************** 48.1000 - 48.2000 [ 0]: 48.2000 - 48.3000 [ 0]: 48.3000 - 48.4000 [ 0]: 48.4000 - 48.5000 [ 0]: 48.5000 - 48.6000 [ 0]: 48.6000 - 48.7000 [ 0]: 48.7000 - 48.8000 [ 0]: 48.8000 - 48.9000 [ 0]: 48.9000 - 49.0000 [ 32]: ******************************** - swap_64: NumSamples = 100; Min = 44.00; Max = 63.00 Mean = 48.250000; Variance = 18.687500; SD = 4.322904; Median 47.000000 each * represents a count of 1 44.0000 - 45.9000 [ 15]: *************** 45.9000 - 47.8000 [ 37]: ************************************* 47.8000 - 49.7000 [ 39]: *************************************** 49.7000 - 51.6000 [ 0]: 51.6000 - 53.5000 [ 0]: 53.5000 - 55.4000 [ 0]: 55.4000 - 57.3000 [ 0]: 57.3000 - 59.2000 [ 1]: * 59.2000 - 61.1000 [ 3]: *** 61.1000 - 63.0000 [ 5]: ***** - swap_72: NumSamples = 100; Min = 53.00; Max = 71.00 Mean = 55.070000; Variance = 21.565100; SD = 4.643824; Median 53.000000 each * represents a count of 1 53.0000 - 54.8000 [ 73]: ************************************************************************* 54.8000 - 56.6000 [ 9]: ********* 56.6000 - 58.4000 [ 9]: ********* 58.4000 - 60.2000 [ 0]: 60.2000 - 62.0000 [ 0]: 62.0000 - 63.8000 [ 0]: 63.8000 - 65.6000 [ 0]: 65.6000 - 67.4000 [ 1]: * 67.4000 - 69.2000 [ 4]: **** 69.2000 - 71.0000 [ 4]: **** - test program: static int cmp_32(const void *a, const void *b) { u32 l = *(u32 *)a; u32 r = *(u32 *)b; if (l < r) return -1; if (l > r) return 1; return 0; } static int cmp_64(const void *a, const void *b) { u64 l = *(u64 *)a; u64 r = *(u64 *)b; if (l < r) return -1; if (l > r) return 1; return 0; } static int cmp_72(const void *a, const void *b) { u32 l = get_unaligned((u32 *) a); u32 r = get_unaligned((u32 *) b); if (l < r) return -1; if (l > r) return 1; return 0; } static void init_array32(void *array) { u32 *a = array; int i; a[0] = 3821; for (i = 1; i < ARRAY_ELEMENTS; i++) a[i] = next_pseudo_random32(a[i-1]); } static void init_array64(void *array) { u64 *a = array; int i; a[0] = 3821; for (i = 1; i < ARRAY_ELEMENTS; i++) a[i] = next_pseudo_random32(a[i-1]); } static void init_array72(void *array) { char *p; u32 v; int i; v = 3821; for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_ELEMENTS; i++) { p = (char *)array + (i * 9); put_unaligned(v, (u32*) p); v = next_pseudo_random32(v); } } static void sort_test(void (*init)(void *array), int (*cmp) (const void *, const void *), void *array, size_t size) { ktime_t start, stop; int i; for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { init(array); local_irq_disable(); start = ktime_get(); sort(array, ARRAY_ELEMENTS, size, cmp, NULL); stop = ktime_get(); local_irq_enable(); if (i > 10000 - 101) pr_info("%lld\n", ktime_to_us(ktime_sub(stop, start))); } } static void *create_array(size_t size) { void *array; array = kmalloc(ARRAY_ELEMENTS * size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!array) return NULL; return array; } static int perform_test(size_t size) { void *array; array = create_array(size); if (!array) return -ENOMEM; pr_info("test element size %d bytes\n", (int)size); switch (size) { case 4: sort_test(init_array32, cmp_32, array, size); break; case 8: sort_test(init_array64, cmp_64, array, size); break; case 9: sort_test(init_array72, cmp_72, array, size); break; } kfree(array); return 0; } static int __init sort_tests_init(void) { int err; err = perform_test(sizeof(u32)); if (err) return err; err = perform_test(sizeof(u64)); if (err) return err; err = perform_test(sizeof(u64)+1); if (err) return err; return 0; } static void __exit sort_tests_exit(void) { } module_init(sort_tests_init); module_exit(sort_tests_exit); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Daniel Wagner"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("sort perfomance tests"); Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-02-12lib/sort.c: move include inside #if 0Rasmus Villemoes
The sort function and its helpers don't do memory allocation, so the slab.h include is redundant. Move it inside the #if 0 protecting the self-test, similar to how it is done in lib/list_sort.c.

2015-02-12lib/sort.c: use simpler includesRasmus Villemoes
sort.c doesn't use facilities from kernel.h, but does use some types defined in linux/types.h. Include the latter directly instead of relying on some other header doing it. Similarly, include linux/export.h directly instead of through module.h. This removes 80 lines from the dependency file .sort.o.cmd.

Hello, I fixed and tested a small bug in lib/sort.c file, heap sort function. The fix avoids unnecessary swap of contents when i is 0 (saves few loads and stores), which happens every time sort function is called. I felt the fix is worth bringing it to your attention given the importance and frequent use of the sort function.

It is a non-standard heap-sort algorithm implementation because the index of child node is wrong .

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
