<title>bpf: fix broken BPF selftest build on s390</title>

<content type='text'>
With 720f228e8d31 ("bpf: fix broken BPF selftest build") the
inclusion of arch-specific header files changed.  Including the
asm/bpf_perf_event.h on s390, correctly includes the s390 specific
header file.  This header file tries then to include the s390
asm/ptrace.h and the build fails with:

cc -Wall -O2 -I../../../include/uapi -I../../../lib -I../../../../include/generated  -I../../../include    test_verifier.c
+/root/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/libbpf.a /root/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/cgroup_helpers.c -lcap -lelf -o
+/root/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_verifier

         ^~~~~~~~~~~~
make: *** [../lib.mk:109: /root/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_verifier] Error 1

This is caused by a recent update to the s390 asm/ptrace.h file
that is not (yet) available in the local installation.  That means,
the s390 asm/ptrace.h must be included from the tools/arch/s390
directory.

Because there is no proper framework to deal with asm specific
includes in tools/, slightly modify the s390 asm/bpf_perf_event.h
to include the local ptrace.h header file.

See also discussion on
https://marc.info/?l=linux-s390&amp;m=151359424420691&amp;w=2

Please note that this needs to be preserved until tools/ is able to
correctly handle asm specific headers.

<title>tools arch s390: Do not include header files from the kernel sources</title>

Long ago we decided to be verbotten including files in the kernel git
sources from tools/ living source code, to avoid disturbing kernel
development (and perf's and other tools/) when, say, a kernel hacker
adds something, tests everything but tools/ and have tools/ build
broken.

This got broken recently by s/390, fix it by copying
arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/perf_regs.h to tools/arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/,
making this one be used by means of &lt;asm/perf_regs.h&gt; and updating
tools/perf/check_headers.sh to make sure we are notified when the
original changes, so that we can check if anything is needed on the
tooling side.

This would have been caught by the 'tarkpg' test entry in:

$ make -C tools/perf build-test

When run on a s/390 build system or container.

There were two trivial updates to these upstream UAPI headers:

  arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm_perf.h
  arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt

Synchronize them with their tooling copies.

(The x86 opcode map includes a new instruction pattern now.)

Synchronize the uapi kernel header files which solves the broken
uapi export of pt_regs.  Because of arch-specific uapi headers,
extended the include path in the Makefile.

With this change, the test_verifier program compiles and runs successfully
on s390.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license</title>

<id>e2be04c7f9958dde770eeb8b30e829ca969b37bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

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.

Time for a sync with ABI/uapi headers with the upcoming v4.14 kernel.

None of the ABI changes require any source code level changes to our
existing in-kernel tooling code:

  - tools/arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:

      New KVM_S390_VM_TOD_EXT ABI, not used by in-kernel tooling.

  - tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h:
    tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h:

      New PCID, SME and VGIF x86 CPU feature bits defined.

  - tools/include/asm-generic/hugetlb_encode.h:
    tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h:
    tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:

      Two new madvise() flags, plus a hugetlb system call mmap flags
      restructuring/extension changes.

  - tools/include/uapi/drm/drm.h:
    tools/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h:

      New drm_syncobj_create flags definitions, new drm_syncobj_wait
      and drm_syncobj_array ABIs. DRM_I915_PERF_* calls and a new
      I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_FENCE_ARRAY ABI for the Intel driver.

  - tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:

      New bpf_sock fields (::mark and ::priority), new XDP_REDIRECT
      action, new kvm_ppc_smmu_info fields (::data_keys, instr_keys)
