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.

The Linux coresight drivers define the programmable ATB replicator as
Qualcomm replicator, while this is designed by ARM. This can cause
confusion to a user selecting the driver. Cleanup all references to
make it explicitly clear. This patch :
1) Replace the compatible string for the replicator :
qcom,coresight-replicator1x => arm,coresight-dynamic-replicator
2) Changes the Kconfig symbol (since this is not part of any defconfigs)
CORESIGHT_QCOM_REPLICATOR => CORESIGHT_DYNAMIC_REPLICATOR
3) Improves the help message in the Kconfig.
4) Changes the name of the driver and the file :
coresight-replicator-qcom => coresight-dynamic-replicator

Coresight includes debug module and usually the module connects with CPU
debug logic. ARMv8 architecture reference manual (ARM DDI 0487A.k) has
description for related info in "Part H: External Debug".
Chapter H7 "The Sample-based Profiling Extension" introduces several
sampling registers, e.g. we can check program counter value with
combined CPU exception level, secure state, etc. So this is helpful for
analysis CPU lockup scenarios, e.g. if one CPU has run into infinite
loop with IRQ disabled. In this case the CPU cannot switch context and
handle any interrupt (including IPIs), as the result it cannot handle
SMP call for stack dump.
This patch is to enable coresight debug module, so firstly this driver
is to bind apb clock for debug module and this is to ensure the debug
module can be accessed from program or external debugger. And the driver
uses sample-based registers for debug purpose, e.g. when system triggers
panic, the driver will dump program counter and combined context
registers (EDCIDSR, EDVIDSR); by parsing context registers so can
quickly get to know CPU secure state, exception level, etc.
Some of the debug module registers are located in CPU power domain, so
this requires the CPU power domain stays on when access related debug
registers, but the power management for CPU power domain is quite
dependent on SoC integration for power management. For the platforms
which with sane power controller implementations, this driver follows
the method to set EDPRCR to try to pull the CPU out of low power state
and then set 'no power down request' bit so the CPU has no chance to
lose power.
If the SoC has not followed up this design well for power management
controller, the user should use the command line parameter or sysfs
to constrain all or partial idle states to ensure the CPU power
domain is enabled and access coresight CPU debug component safely.

The TMC block can operate in 3 modes (ETB, ETF and ETR) and accessed
via two interfaces (sysFS and Perf). That makes 6 mode to cover, which
is way too much coupling for a single file.
This patch splits the original TMC driver in 2 halves, one for ETB/ETF
and another one for ETR mode. A common core is kept for functionality
common to all 3 modes.

Keeping drivers related to HW tracing on ARM, i.e coresight,
under "drivers/coresight" doesn't make sense when other
