Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH:
"License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files

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.

Merge branch 'replace-dst_confirm'

Julian Anastasov says:

====================
net: dst_confirm replacement

This patchset addresses the problem of neighbour
confirmation where received replies from one nexthop
can cause confirmation of different nexthop when using
the same dst. Thanks to YueHaibing <yuehaibing@huawei.com>
for tracking the dst->pending_confirm problem.

Sockets can obtain cached output route. Such
routes can be to known nexthop (rt_gateway=IP) or to be
used simultaneously for different nexthop IPs by different
subnet prefixes (nh->nh_scope = RT_SCOPE_HOST, rt_gateway=0).

At first look, there are more problems:

- dst_confirm() sets flag on dst and not on dst->path,
as result, indication is lost when XFRM is used

- DNAT can change the nexthop, so the really used nexthop is
not confirmed

So, the following solution is to avoid using
dst->pending_confirm.

The current dst_confirm() usage is as follows:

Protocols confirming dst on received packets:
- TCP (1 dst per socket)
- SCTP (1 dst per transport)
- CXGB*

Protocols supporting sendmsg with MSG_CONFIRM [ | MSG_PROBE ] to
confirm neighbour:
- UDP IPv4/IPv6
- ICMPv4 PING
- RAW IPv4/IPv6
- L2TP/IPv6

MSG_CONFIRM for other purposes (fix not needed):
- CAN

Sending without locking the socket:
- UDP (when no cork)
- RAW (when hdrincl=1)

Redirects from old to new GW:
- rt6_do_redirect

The patchset includes the following changes:

1. sock: add sk_dst_pending_confirm flag

- used only by TCP with patch 4 to remember the received
indication in sk->sk_dst_pending_confirm

2. net: add dst_pending_confirm flag to skbuff

- skb->dst_pending_confirm will be used by all protocols
in following patches, via skb_{set,get}_dst_pending_confirm

3. sctp: add dst_pending_confirm flag

- SCTP uses per-transport dsts and can not use
sk->sk_dst_pending_confirm like TCP

4. tcp: replace dst_confirm with sk_dst_confirm

5. net: add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops

- IPv4 and IPv6 provision for slow neigh lookups for MSG_PROBE users.
I decided to use neigh lookup only for this case because on
MSG_PROBE the skb may pass MTU checks but it does not reach
the neigh confirmation code. This patch will be used from patch 6.

- xfrm_confirm_neigh: we use the last tunnel address, if present.
When there are only transports, the original dest address is used.

6. net: use dst_confirm_neigh for UDP, RAW, ICMP, L2TP

- dst_confirm conversion for UDP, RAW, ICMP and L2TP/IPv6

- these protocols use MSG_CONFIRM propagated by ip*_append_data
to skb->dst_pending_confirm. sk->sk_dst_pending_confirm is not
used because some sending paths do not lock the socket. For
MSG_PROBE we use the slow lookup (dst_confirm_neigh).

- there are also 2 cases that need the slow lookup:
__ip6_rt_update_pmtu and rt6_do_redirect. I hope
&ipv6_hdr(skb)->saddr is the correct nexthop address to use here.

7. net: pending_confirm is not used anymore

- I failed to understand the CXGB* code, I see dst_confirm()
calls but I'm not sure dst_neigh_output() was called. For now
I just removed the dst->pending_confirm flag and left all
dst_confirm() calls there. Any better idea?

- Now may be old function neigh_output() should be restored
instead of dst_neigh_output?
