Correct inline documentation for `do_div', which is a function-like
macro the `n' parameter of which has the semantics of a C++ reference:
it is both read and written in the context of the caller without an
explicit dereference such as with a pointer.
In the C programming language it has no equivalent for proper functions,
in terms of which the documentation expresses the semantics of `do_div',
but substituting a pointer in documentation is misleading, and using the
C++ notation should at least raise the reader's attention and encourage
to seek explanation even if the C++ semantics is not readily understood.
While at it observe that "semantics" is an uncountable noun, so refer to
it with a singular rather than plural verb.

Contrary to the description, the first parameter (n) should not be passed
as a pointer, but directly as an lvalue. This is possible because do_div() is

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 default C implementation for the 128-bit cross product is abstracted
into the __arch_xprod_64() macro that can be overridden to let
architectures provide their own assembly optimized implementation.
There are many advantages to an assembly version for this operation.
Carry bit handling becomes trivial, and 32-bit shifts may be achieved
simply by inverting register pairs on some architectures. This has the
potential to be quite faster and use much fewer instructions.
Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>
64-by-32-bit divisions are prominent in the kernel, even on 32-bit
machines. Luckily, many of them use a constant divisor that allows
for a much faster multiplication by the divisor's reciprocal.
The compiler already performs this optimization when compiling a 32-by-32
division with a constant divisor. Unfortunately, on 32-bit machines, gcc
does not optimize 64-by-32 divisions in that case, except for constant
divisors that happen to be a power of 2.
Let's avoid the slow path whenever the divisor is constant by manually
computing the reciprocal ourselves and performing the multiplication
inline. In most cases, this improves performance of 64-by-32 divisions
by about two orders of magnitude compared to the __div64_32() fallback,
especially on architectures lacking a native div instruction.
The algorithm used here comes from the existing ARM code.
The __div64_const32_is_OK macro can be predefined by architectures to
disable this optimization in some cases. For example, some ancient gcc
version on ARM would crash with an ICE when fed this code.

Let's perform the obvious mask and shift operation in this case.
On 32-bit targets, gcc is able to do the same thing with a constant
divisor that happens to be a power of two i.e. it turns the division
into an inline shift, but it doesn't hurt to be explicit.

Rename div64_64 to div64_u64 to make it consistent with the other divide
functions, so it clearly includes the type of the divide. Move its definition
to math64.h as currently no architecture overrides the generic implementation.
They can still override it of course, but the duplicated declarations are
avoided.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
