libtraceevent: Fix build with binutils 2.35

2023-01-18T08:26:04+00:00

commit 39efdd94e314336f4acbac4c07e0f37bdc3bef71 upstream.

In binutils 2.35, 'nm -D' changed to show symbol versions along with
symbol names, with the usual @@ separator.  When generating
libtraceevent-dynamic-list we need just the names, so strip off the
version suffix if present.

libtraceevent: Fix lib installation with O=

2020-01-12T11:11:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 587db8ebdac2c5eb3a8851e16b26f2e2711ab797 ]

When we use 'O=' with make to build libtraceevent in a separate folder
it fails to install libtraceevent.a and libtraceevent.so.1.1.0 with the
error:

  INSTALL  /home/sudip/linux/obj-trace/libtraceevent.a
  INSTALL  /home/sudip/linux/obj-trace/libtraceevent.so.1.1.0

  cp: cannot stat 'libtraceevent.a': No such file or directory
  Makefile:225: recipe for target 'install_lib' failed
  make: *** [install_lib] Error 1

I used the command:

  make O=../../../obj-trace DESTDIR=~/test prefix==/usr  install

It turns out libtraceevent Makefile, even though it builds in a separate
folder, searches for libtraceevent.a and libtraceevent.so.1.1.0 in its
source folder.

So, add the 'OUTPUT' prefix to the source path so that 'make' looks for
the files in the correct place.

tools lib traceevent: Fix "robust" test of do_generate_dynamic_list_file

2019-10-11T16:18:32+00:00

commit 82a2f88458d70704be843961e10b5cef9a6e95d3 upstream.

The tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile had a test added to it to detect a failure
of the "nm" when making the dynamic list file (whatever that is). The
problem is that the test sorts the values "U W w" and some versions of sort
will place "w" ahead of "W" (even though it has a higher ASCII value, and
break the test.

Add 'tr "w" "W"' to merge the two and not worry about the ordering.

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.

tools lib traceevent: Robustify do_generate_dynamic_list_file

2017-02-08T13:27:45+00:00

The dynamic-list-file used to export dynamic symbols introduced in

commit e3d09ec8126f ("tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols
used by traceevent plugins")

is generated without any sort of error checking.

I experienced problems due to an old version of nm (v 0.158) that outputs
in a format distinct from the assumed by the script.

Robustify the built of dynamic symbol list  by enforcing that the second
column of $(NM) -u  is either "U" (Undefined), "W" or "w" (undefined
weak), which are the possible outputs from non-ancient $(NM) versions.
Print an error if format is unexpected.

v2: Accept "W" and "w" symbol options.

make already provides the current working directory in a variable, so make
use of it instead of forking a shell. Also replace usage of PWD by
CURDIR. PWD is provided by most shells, but not all, so this makes the
build system more robust.

tools lib traceevent: Add version for traceevent shared object

2016-10-24T14:07:32+00:00

Adding version support for libtraceevent.so object.

Using the existing EVENT_PARSE_VERSION variable to construct
the .so object version string, which now consists of:

  $(EP_VERSION).$(EP_PATCHLEVEL).$(EP_EXTRAVERSION)

Looks like it was created for this purpose anyway.

The build will now produce following traeceevent libraries:

  $ ll libtraceevent*
  libtraceevent.a
  libtraceevent.so -> libtraceevent.so.1.1.0
  libtraceevent.so.1 -> libtraceevent.so.1.1.0
  libtraceevent.so.1.1.0

Also the install target will carry them:

  $ make DESTDIR=/tmp/krava prefix=/usr install
  INSTALL  trace_plugins
  INSTALL  libtraceevent.a
  INSTALL  libtraceevent.so.1.1.0

  $ find /tmp/krava/ | xargs ls -l
  ...
  /tmp/krava/usr/lib64:
  total 572
  libtraceevent.a
  libtraceevent.so -> libtraceevent.so.1.1.0
  libtraceevent.so.1 -> libtraceevent.so.1.1.0
  libtraceevent.so.1.1.0
  ...
