Merge tag 'spdx_identifiers-4.14-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

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 'net-subsystem-misc-refcounter-conversions'

Elena Reshetova says:

====================
v2 net subsystem misc refcounter conversions

Changes in v2:
* rebase on top of net-next
* currently by default refcount_t = atomic_t (*) and uses all
atomic standard operations unless CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL is enabled.
This is a compromise for the systems that are critical on
performance (such as net) and cannot accept even slight delay
on the refcounter operations.

This series, for various misc network components, replaces atomic_t reference
counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h).
By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental
underflows or overflows that can led to use-after-free vulnerabilities.
These are the last networking-related conversions with the exception of
network drivers (to be send separately).

Please excuse the long patch set, but seems like breaking it up
won't save that much on CC list and most of the changes are
trivial.

The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately.
In order to try with refcount functionality enabled in run-time,
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL must be enabled.

NOTE: automatic kernel builder for some reason doesn't like all my
network branches and regularly times out the builds on these branches.
Suggestion for "waiting a day for a good coverage" doesn't work, as
we have seen with generic network conversions. So please wait for the
full report from kernel test rebot before merging further up.
This has been compile-tested in 116 configs, but 71 timed out (including
all s390-related configs again). I am trying to see if they can fix
build coverage for me in meanwhile.

* The respective change is currently merged into -next as

No changes in patches apart from rebases, but now by
default refcount_t = atomic_t (*) and uses all atomic standard operations
unless CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL is enabled. This is a compromise for the
systems that are critical on performance (such as net) and cannot accept even
slight delay on the refcounter operations.

This series, for core network subsystem components, replaces atomic_t reference
counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h).
By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental
underflows or overflows that can led to use-after-free vulnerabilities.
These patches contain only generic net pieces. Other changes will be sent separately.

The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately.
The big patches, such as conversions for sock structure, need a very detailed
look from maintainers: refcount managing is quite complex in them and while
it seems that they would benefit from the change, extra checking is needed.
The biggest corner issue is the fact that refcount_inc() does not increment
from zero.

If there are no objections to the patches, please merge them via respective trees.

* The respective change is currently merged into -next as
"locking/refcount: Create unchecked atomic_t implementation".

net: convert sock.sk_refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of
atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint()
version of refcount API. If the hint() version must
be used, we might need to revisit API.
