* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sched/cputime: Replace VTIME_GEN irq time code with IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING codeRik van Riel2016-07-141-18/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not appear to currently work right. On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU. On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making. Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code, and replace it with the IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code, when selected as a config option by the user.

* sched/cputime: Introduce vtime accounting check for readersFrederic Weisbecker2015-12-041-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Readers need to know if vtime runs at all on some CPU somewhere, this is a fast-path check to determine if we need to check further the need to add up any tickless cputime delta. This fast path check uses context tracking state because vtime is tied to context tracking as of now. This check appears to be confusing though so lets use a vtime function that deals with context tracking details in vtime implementation instead.

* vtime: Use consistent clocks among nohz accountingFrederic Weisbecker2013-05-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While computing the cputime delta of dynticks CPUs, we are mixing up clocks of differents natures: * local_clock() which takes care of unstable clock sources and fix these if needed. * sched_clock() which is the weaker version of local_clock(). It doesn't compute any fixup in case of unstable source. If the clock source is stable, those two clocks are the same and we can safely compute the difference against two random points. Otherwise it results in random deltas as sched_clock() can randomly drift away, back or forward, from local_clock(). As a consequence, some strange behaviour with unstable tsc has been observed such as non progressing constant zero cputime. (The 'top' command showing no load). Fix this by only using local_clock(), or its irq safe/remote equivalent, in vtime code.

* cputime: Allow dynamic switch between tick/virtual based cputime accountingFrederic Weisbecker2013-01-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow to dynamically switch between tick and virtual based cputime accounting. This way we can provide a kind of "on-demand" virtual based cputime accounting. In this mode, the kernel relies on the context tracking subsystem to dynamically probe on kernel boundaries. This is in preparation for being able to stop the timer tick in more places than just the idle state. Doing so will depend on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which makes it possible to account the cputime without the tick by hooking on kernel/user boundaries. Depending whether the tick is stopped or not, we can switch between tick and vtime based accounting anytime in order to minimize the overhead associated to user hooks.

* cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accountingFrederic Weisbecker2013-01-271-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

* vtime: Remove the underscore prefix invasionFrederic Weisbecker2012-11-191-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepending irq-unsafe vtime APIs with underscores was actually a bad idea as the result is a big mess in the API namespace that is even waiting to be further extended. Also these helpers are always called from irq safe callers except kvm. Just provide a vtime_account_system_irqsafe() for this specific case so that we can remove the underscore prefix on other vtime functions.

* cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtimeFrederic Weisbecker2012-10-291-10/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In the second case it only handles irq time accounting. So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*() this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq() in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime() calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.

* cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooksFrederic Weisbecker2012-10-291-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account() is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the context: if we are interrupting the idle task we account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time, softirq time, ... However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry and softirq entry: * Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle. * The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time already flushed from the hardirq entry. In the other cases we always account to system/irq time: * On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time. * On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time. To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account() and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call vtime_account_system(). CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting as well in the future.

* vtime: Make vtime_account_system() irqsafeFrederic Weisbecker2012-10-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with vtime_account() which is irq safe. Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime. So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now prefixed with "__". vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly to stay consistent.

* vtime: Gather vtime declarations to their own header fileFrederic Weisbecker2012-10-291-0/+22
These APIs are scattered around and are going to expand a bit. Let's create a dedicated header file for sanity.
