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.

Remove the common 'platform' registration module, and move the crypto
compression driver registration into each of the pSeries and PowerNV
platform NX 842 drivers. Change the nx-842.c code into simple common
functions that each platform driver uses to perform constraints-based
buffer changes, i.e. realigning and/or resizing buffers to match the
driver's hardware requirements.
The common 'platform' module was my mistake to create - since each
platform driver will only load/operate when running on its own
platform (i.e. a pSeries platform or a PowerNV platform), they can
directly register with the crypto subsystem, using the same alg and
driver name. This removes unneeded complexity.

Replace the NX842_MEM_COMPRESS define with a function that returns the
specific platform driver's required working memory size.
The common nx-842.c driver refuses to load if there is no platform
driver present, so instead of defining an approximate working memory
size that's the maximum approximate size of both platform driver's
size requirements, the platform driver can directly provide its
specific, i.e. sizeof(struct nx842_workmem), size requirements which
the 842-nx crypto compression driver will use.
This saves memory by both reducing the required size of each driver
to the specific sizeof() amount, as well as using the specific loaded
platform driver's required amount, instead of the maximum of both.

Move the contents of the include/linux/nx842.h header file into the
drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.h header file. Remove the nx842.h header
file and its entry in the MAINTAINERS file.
The include/linux/nx842.h header originally was there because the
crypto/842.c driver needed it to communicate with the nx-842 hw
driver. However, that crypto compression driver was moved into
the drivers/crypto/nx/ directory, and now can directly include the
nx-842.h header. Nothing else needs the public include/linux/nx842.h
header file, as all use of the nx-842 hardware driver will be through
the "842-nx" crypto compression driver, since the direct nx-842 api is
very limited in the buffer alignments and sizes that it will accept,
and the crypto compression interface handles those limitations and
allows any alignment and size buffers.

Change the nx-842 common driver to wait for loading of both platform
drivers, and fail loading if the platform driver pointer is not set.
Add an independent platform driver pointer, that the platform drivers
set if they find they are able to load (i.e. if they find their platform
devicetree node(s)).
The problem is currently, the main nx-842 driver will stay loaded even
if there is no platform driver and thus no possible way it can do any
compression or decompression. This allows the crypto 842-nx driver
to load even if it won't actually work. For crypto compression users
(e.g. zswap) that expect an available crypto compression driver to
actually work, this is bad. This patch fixes that, so the 842-nx crypto
compression driver won't load if it doesn't have the driver and hardware
available to perform the compression.

Add "constraints" for the NX-842 driver. The constraints are used to
indicate what the current NX-842 platform driver is capable of. The
constraints tell the NX-842 user what alignment, min and max length, and
length multiple each provided buffers should conform to. These are
required because the 842 hardware requires buffers to meet specific
constraints that vary based on platform - for example, the pSeries
max length is much lower than the PowerNV max length.
