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.

When the user unbinds the last device of a group from a vfio bus
driver, the devices within that group should be available for other
purposes.  We currently have a race that makes this generally, but
not always true.  The device can be unbound from the vfio bus driver,
but remaining IOMMU context of the group attached to the container
can result in errors as the next driver configures DMA for the device.

Wait for the group to be detached from the IOMMU backend before
allowing the bus driver remove callback to complete.

In vfio_iommu_group_get() we want to increase the reference
count of the iommu group.

In noiommu case, the group does not exist and is allocated.
iommu_group_add_device() increases the group ref count. However we
then call iommu_group_put() which decrements it.

This leads to a "refcount_t: underflow WARN_ON".

Only decrement the ref count in case of iommu_group_add_device
failure.

If the IOMMU driver advertises 'real' reserved regions for MSIs, but
still includes the software-managed region as well, we are currently
blind to the former and will configure the IOMMU domain to map MSIs into
the latter, which is unlikely to work as expected.

Since it would take a ridiculous hardware topology for both regions to
be valid (which would be rather difficult to support in general), we
should be safe to assume that the presence of any hardware regions makes
the software region irrelevant. However, the IOMMU driver might still
advertise the software region by default, particularly if the hardware
regions are filled in elsewhere by generic code, so it might not be fair
for VFIO to be super-strict about not mixing them. To that end, make
vfio_iommu_has_sw_msi() robust against the presence of both region types
at once, so that we end up doing what is almost certainly right, rather
than what is almost certainly wrong.

For ARM-based systems with a GICv3 ITS to provide interrupt isolation,
but hardware limitations which are worked around by having MSIs bypass
SMMU translation (e.g. HiSilicon Hip06/Hip07), VFIO neglects to check
for the IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_MSI_REMAP capability, (and thus erroneously
demands unsafe_interrupts) if a software-managed MSI region is absent.

Fix this by always checking for isolation capability at both the IRQ
domain and IOMMU domain levels, rather than predicating that on whether
MSIs require an IOMMU mapping (which was always slightly tenuous logic).

domain and IOMMU domain levels, rather than predicating that on whether
MSIs require an IOMMU mapping (which was always slightly tenuous logic).

Root complex integrated endpoints do not have a link and therefore may
use a smaller PCIe capability in config space than we expect when
building our config map.  Add a case for these to avoid reporting an
erroneous overlap.

Device lock bites again; if a device .remove() callback races a user
calling ioctl(VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD), the unbind request will hold
the device lock, but the user ioctl may have already taken a vfio_device
reference.  In the case of a PCI device, the initial open will attempt
to reset the device, which again attempts to get the device lock,
resulting in deadlock.  Use the trylock PCI reset interface and return
error on the open path if reset fails due to lock contention.

The original intent of vfio_container.group_lock is to protect
vfio_container.group_list, however over time it's become a crutch to
prevent changes in container composition any time we call into the
iommu driver backend.  This introduces problems when we start to have
more complex interactions, for example when a user's DMA unmap request
triggers a notification to an mdev vendor driver, who responds by
attempting to unpin mappings within that request, re-entering the
iommu backend.  We incorrectly assume that the use of read-locks here
allow for this nested locking behavior, but a poorly timed write-lock
could in fact trigger a deadlock.

The current use of group_lock seems to fall into the trap of locking
code, not data.  Correct that by removing uses of group_lock that are
not directly related to group_list.  Note that the vfio type1 iommu
backend has its own mutex, vfio_iommu.lock, which it uses to protect
itself for each of these interfaces anyway.  The group_lock appears to
be a redundancy for these interfaces and type1 even goes so far as to
release its mutex to allow for exactly the re-entrant code path above.
