Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
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.

Matthias Kaehlcke 60b0a8c3d2 frv: declare jiffies to be located in the .data section
Commit 7c30f352c8 ("jiffies.h: declare jiffies and jiffies_64 with
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp") removed a section specification from the
jiffies declaration that caused conflicts on some platforms.

Unfortunately this change broke the build for frv:

  kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq': (.text+0x6460): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol
      `jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
  kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq': (.text+0x6574): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol
      `jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
  kernel/built-in.o: In function `pwq_activate_delayed_work': workqueue.c:(.text+0x15b9c): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against
      symbol `jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
  ...

Add __jiffy_arch_data to the declaration of jiffies and use it on frv to
include the section specification.  For all other platforms
__jiffy_arch_data (currently) has no effect.

Jason A. Donenfeld 3740dcdf8a jiffies: add time comparison functions for 64 bit jiffies
Though the time_before and time_after family of functions were nicely
extended to support jiffies64, so that the interface would be consistent,
it was forgotten to also extend the before/after jiffies functions to
support jiffies64.  This commit brings the interface to parity between
jiffies and jiffies64, which is quite convenient.

Andrew Hunter d78c9300c5 jiffies: Fix timeval conversion to jiffies
timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:

setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);

would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.)  Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val.  So fix the math.

Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)

jiffies = usec  * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)

by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:

jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC

and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)

In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.

We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies.  This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.

Tested: the following program:

int main() {
  struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
  /* Initially set to 10 ms. */
  struct itimerval initial = zero;
  initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
  setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
  /* Save and restore several times. */
  for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
    struct itimerval prev;
    setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
    /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
    printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
           prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
           prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
    setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
  }
    return 0;
}

Kevin Hilman 8fe8ff09ce sched/nohz: Fix overflow error in scheduler_tick_max_deferment()
While calculating the scheduler tick max deferment, the delta is
converted from microseconds to nanoseconds through a multiplication
against NSEC_PER_USEC.

But this microseconds operand is an unsigned int, thus the result may
likely overflow. The result is cast to u64 but only once the operation
is completed, which is too late to avoid overflown result.

This is currently not a problem because the scheduler tick max deferment
is 1 second. But this may become an issue as we plan to make this
value tunable.

So lets fix this by casting the usecs value to u64 before multiplying by
NSECS_PER_USEC.

Also to prevent from this kind of mistake to happen again, move this
ad-hoc jiffies -> nsecs conversion to a new helper.

Paul E. McKenney 5a581b367b jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow
According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results
in undefined behavior.  This commit therefore changes the definitions
of time_after(), time_after_eq(), time_after64(), and time_after_eq64()
to avoid this undefined behavior.  The trick is that the subtraction
is done using unsigned arithmetic, which according to 6.2.5p9 cannot
overflow because it is defined as modulo arithmetic.  This has the added
(though admittedly quite small) benefit of shortening four lines of code
by four characters each.

Note that the C standard considers the cast from unsigned to
signed to be implementation-defined, see 6.3.1.3p3.  However, on a
two's-complement system, an implementation that defines anything other
than a reinterpretation of the bits is free to come to me, and I will be
happy to act as a witness for its being committed to an insane asylum.
(Although I have nothing against saturating arithmetic or signals in some
cases, these things really should not be the default when compiling an
operating-system kernel.)

John Stultz b3c869d35b jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATE
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.

This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.

This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.

Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.

For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.

Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.

This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.

This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.

NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
	register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

Eric Dumazet a399a80531 time: jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() helper to the rescue
Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed
in clock_t units.

This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed
to jiffies_to_clock_t().

This function has an overflow in :

return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ);

commit cbbc719fcc (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type
to unsigned long) only got around the problem.

As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking
various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper
that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

Catalin Marinas a7ea3bbf5d time/jiffies: Allow CLOCK_TICK_RATE to be undefined
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a legacy constant that defines the timer
device's granularity. On hardware with particularly coarse
granularity, this constant is used to reduce accumulated
time error when using jiffies as a clocksource, by calculating
the hardware's actual tick length rather then just assuming
it is 1sec/HZ.

However, for the most part this is unnecessary, as most modern
systems don't use jiffies for their clocksource, and their
tick device is sufficiently fine grained to avoid major error.

Thus, this patch allows an architecture to not define
CLOCK_TICK_RATE, in which case ACTHZ defaults to (HZ << 8).

Peter Staubach 64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

Roman Zippel f8bd2258e2 remove div_long_long_rem
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

Most of time_after like macros usages just compare jiffies and another number,
so here add some time_is_* macros for convenience.

Randy Dunlap bfe8df3d31 slow down printk during boot
Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.

Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.

It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

Fabio Olive Leite c7e1596111 Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffies
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.

2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).

Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.

In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:

Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07

NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

# touch /local/A/foo/bar

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:

Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /nfs/A/foo/bar

# touch /local/A/foo/bar

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:14 /local/A/foo/bar
