This is a workaround until the issue is resolved in clang.

[ Upstream commit 9506a7425b ]
It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem
found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite
significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the
kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64
server nearly doubled.
Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the
frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function
probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks
off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg
to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0.
This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held
debug_locks. As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different
places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance.
To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired()
and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before
proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check
debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

While debugging an issue debugobject tracking warned about an annotation

object in concern being on a different stack which was due to another
issue.
Thomas suggested to print the pointers and the location of the stack for
the currently running task. This helped to figure out that the object was
on the wrong stack.
As this is general useful information for debugging similar issues, make
the error message more informative by printing the pointers.

commit 03fc7f9c99 upstream.
The commit 719f6a7040 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI
when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks
in printk() and NMI.
The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent
mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and:
+ Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example,
the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace().
+ The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop()
in panic().
The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message
into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines
go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via
the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general.
This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI
direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce
many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical
than problems with eventual reordering.
The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was
the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is
even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps.
Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because
it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

commit 7a4deea1aa upstream.
If the radix tree underlying the IDR happens to be full and we attempt
to remove an id which is larger than any id in the IDR, we will call
__radix_tree_delete() with an uninitialised 'slot' pointer, at which
point anything could happen. This was easiest to hit with a single
entry at id 0 and attempting to remove a non-0 id, but it could have
happened with 64 entries and attempting to remove an id >= 64.
Roman said:
The syzcaller test boils down to opening /dev/kvm, creating an
eventfd, and calling a couple of KVM ioctls. None of this requires
superuser. And the result is dereferencing an uninitialized pointer
which is likely a crash. The specific path caught by syzbot is via
KVM_HYPERV_EVENTD ioctl which is new in 4.17. But I guess there are
other user-triggerable paths, so cc:stable is probably justified.
Matthew added:
We have around 250 calls to idr_remove() in the kernel today. Many of
them pass an ID which is embedded in the object they're removing, so
they're safe. Picking a few likely candidates:
drivers/firewire/core-cdev.c looks unsafe; the ID comes from an ioctl.
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ctx.c is similar
drivers/atm/nicstar.c could be taken down by a handcrafted packet

commit 9f418224e8 upstream.
Fix a race in the multi-order iteration code which causes the kernel to
hit a GP fault. This was first seen with a production v4.15 based
kernel (4.15.6-300.fc27.x86_64) utilizing a DAX workload which used
order 9 PMD DAX entries.
The race has to do with how we tear down multi-order sibling entries
when we are removing an item from the tree. Remember for example that
an order 2 entry looks like this:
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][sibling][sibling][sibling]
where 'entry' is in some slot in the struct radix_tree_node, and the
three slots following 'entry' contain sibling pointers which point back
to 'entry.'
When we delete 'entry' from the tree, we call :
radix_tree_delete()
radix_tree_delete_item()
__radix_tree_delete()
replace_slot()
replace_slot() first removes the siblings in order from the first to the
last, then at then replaces 'entry' with NULL. This means that for a
brief period of time we end up with one or more of the siblings removed,
so:
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][NULL][sibling][sibling]
This causes an issue if you have a reader iterating over the slots in
the tree via radix_tree_for_each_slot() while only under
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() protection. This is a common case in
mm/filemap.c.
The issue is that when __radix_tree_next_slot() => skip_siblings() tries
to skip over the sibling entries in the slots, it currently does so with
an exact match on the slot directly preceding our current slot.
Normally this works:
V preceding slot
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][sibling][sibling][sibling]
^ current slot
This lets you find the first sibling, and you skip them all in order.
But in the case where one of the siblings is NULL, that slot is skipped
and then our sibling detection is interrupted:
V preceding slot
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][NULL][sibling][sibling]
^ current slot
This means that the sibling pointers aren't recognized since they point
all the way back to 'entry', so we think that they are normal internal
radix tree pointers. This causes us to think we need to walk down to a
struct radix_tree_node starting at the address of 'entry'.
In a real running kernel this will crash the thread with a GP fault when
you try and dereference the slots in your broken node starting at
'entry'.
We fix this race by fixing the way that skip_siblings() detects sibling
nodes. Instead of testing against the preceding slot we instead look
for siblings via is_sibling_entry() which compares against the position
of the struct radix_tree_node.slots[] array. This ensures that sibling
entries are properly identified, even if they are no longer contiguous
with the 'entry' they point to.

commit b4678df184 upstream.
The errseq_t infrastructure assumes that errors which occurred before
the file descriptor was opened are of no interest to the application.
This turns out to be a regression for some applications, notably Postgres.
Before errseq_t, a writeback error would be reported exactly once (as
long as the inode remained in memory), so Postgres could open a file,
call fsync() and find out whether there had been a writeback error on
that file from another process.
This patch changes the errseq infrastructure to report errors to all
file descriptors which are opened after the error occurred, but before
it was reported to any file descriptor. This restores the user-visible
behaviour.

commit b6bdb7517c upstream.
On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may
create pud/pmd mappings. A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems
with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo.
1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
then set the a new value for pmd;
4. pte0 is leaked;
5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
which will lead to kernel panic.
This panic is not reproducible on x86. INVLPG, called from iounmap,
purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86. x86
still has memory leak.
The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since
doing so in the unmap path has the following issues:
- The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only
supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an
overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed
up.
- Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path
is racy, and serializing this check is expensive.
- The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges.
Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB
purge.
Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level
entries.
This patch implements their stub functions on x86 and arm64, which work
as workaround.

commit 1b4cfe3c0a upstream.
Commit b8347c2196 ("x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier
chain, to fix KGDB crash") changed the ordering of fixups, and did not
take into account the case of x86 processing non-WARN() and non-BUG()
exceptions. This would lead to output of a false BUG line with no other
information.
In the case of a refcount exception, it would be immediately followed by
the refcount WARN(), producing very strange double-"cut here":
lkdtm: attempting bad refcount_inc() overflow

...
In the prior ordering, exceptions were searched first:
do_trap_no_signal(struct task_struct *tsk, int trapnr, char *str,
...
if (fixup_exception(regs, trapnr))
return 0;
- if (fixup_bug(regs, trapnr))
- return 0;
-
As a result, fixup_bugs()'s is_valid_bugaddr() didn't take into account
needing to search the exception list first, since that had already
happened.
So, instead of searching the exception list twice (once in
is_valid_bugaddr() and then again in fixup_exception()), just add a
simple sanity check to report_bug() that will immediately bail out if a
BUG() (or WARN()) entry is not found.

[ Upstream commit bbc25bee37 ]
Current MIPS64r6 toolchains aren't able to generate efficient
DMULU/DMUHU based code for the C implementation of umul_ppmm(), which
performs an unsigned 64 x 64 bit multiply and returns the upper and
lower 64-bit halves of the 128-bit result. Instead it widens the 64-bit
inputs to 128-bits and emits a __multi3 intrinsic call to perform a 128
x 128 multiply. This is both inefficient, and it results in a link error
since we don't include __multi3 in MIPS linux.
For example commit 90a53e4432 ("cfg80211: implement regdb signature
checking") merged in v4.15-rc1 recently broke the 64r6_defconfig and
64r6el_defconfig builds by indirectly selecting MPILIB. The same build
errors can be reproduced on older kernels by enabling e.g. CRYPTO_RSA:
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.o: In function `mpihelp_mul_1':
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:50: undefined reference to `__multi3'
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul2.o: In function `mpihelp_addmul_1':
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul2.c:49: undefined reference to `__multi3'
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul3.o: In function `mpihelp_submul_1':
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul3.c:49: undefined reference to `__multi3'
lib/mpi/mpih-div.o In function `mpihelp_divrem':
lib/mpi/mpih-div.c:205: undefined reference to `__multi3'
lib/mpi/mpih-div.c:142: undefined reference to `__multi3'
Therefore add an efficient MIPS64r6 implementation of umul_ppmm() using
inline assembly and the DMULU/DMUHU instructions, to prevent __multi3
calls being emitted.

arch/x86/include/asm/bootparam_utils.h:37: undefined reference to `__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1'

Compiler now uses new __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1() function with
slightly modified 'struct type_mismatch_data'.
Let's add new 'struct type_mismatch_data_common' which is independent from
compiler's layout of 'struct type_mismatch_data'. And make
__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch[_v1]() functions transform compiler-dependent
type mismatch data to our internal representation. This way, we can
support both old and new compilers with minimal amount of change.

commit e7c52b84fb upstream.
We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can
easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g.
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out
into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack
frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An
earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with
KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1.
All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y
and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can
bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of
warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in
allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it
is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA
to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around
50 warnings on gcc-7.
I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another
follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures
to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN).
With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address
the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a
"noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation.
That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for
older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as
before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme
cases.
This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d86 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable
-Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next
should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig
build:
3cd890dbe2 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN")
16c3ada89c ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN")
Do we really need to backport this?
I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to
unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built
with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a
backport of commit c5caf21ab0. Most people are probably still on
older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their
distros.
The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code
that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not
cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was
added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d86 ("lib/Kconfig.debug:
disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned
off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this
fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0.
I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames
larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that
all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are
already there).
Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was
originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that
turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now
worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from
v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at
least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed
upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should
be.

[ upstream commit 290af86629 ]
The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715.
A quote from goolge project zero blog:
"At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in
the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading
from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result
appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an
attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together
and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying.
So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into
the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside
a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient
to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets."
To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config
option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode.
So far eBPF JIT is supported by:
x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64
The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only.
In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden
v2->v3:
- move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel)
v1->v2:
- fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback)
- fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback)
- add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func
- retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk.
It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next
Considered doing:
int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT;
but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove
bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place
and remove this jit_init() function.

commit 81a7be2cd6 upstream.
asn1_ber_decoder() was ignoring errors from actions associated with the
opcodes ASN1_OP_END_SEQ_ACT, ASN1_OP_END_SET_ACT,
ASN1_OP_END_SEQ_OF_ACT, and ASN1_OP_END_SET_OF_ACT. In practice, this
meant the pkcs7_note_signed_info() action (since that was the only user
of those opcodes). Fix it by checking for the error, just like the
decoder does for actions associated with the other opcodes.
This bug allowed users to leak slab memory by repeatedly trying to add a
specially crafted "pkcs7_test" key (requires CONFIG_PKCS7_TEST_KEY).
In theory, this bug could also be used to bypass module signature
verification, by providing a PKCS#7 message that is misparsed such that
a signature's ->authattrs do not contain its ->msgdigest. But it
doesn't seem practical in normal cases, due to restrictions on the
format of the ->authattrs.

commit e0058f3a87 upstream.
In asn1_ber_decoder(), indefinitely-sized ASN.1 items were being passed
to the action functions before their lengths had been computed, using
the bogus length of 0x80 (ASN1_INDEFINITE_LENGTH). This resulted in
reading data past the end of the input buffer, when given a specially
crafted message.
Fix it by rearranging the code so that the indefinite length is resolved
before the action is called.
This bug was originally found by fuzzing the X.509 parser in userspace
using libFuzzer from the LLVM project.

commit 1d9ddde12e upstream.
On a non-preemptible kernel, if KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE is called with the
largest permitted inputs (16384 bits), the kernel spends 10+ seconds
doing modular exponentiation in mpi_powm() without rescheduling. If all
threads do it, it locks up the system. Moreover, it can cause
rcu_sched-stall warnings.
Notwithstanding the insanity of doing this calculation in kernel mode
rather than in userspace, fix it by calling cond_resched() as each bit
from the exponent is processed. It's still noninterruptible, but at
least it's preemptible now.
Do the cond_resched() once per bit rather than once per MPI limb because
each limb might still easily take 100+ milliseconds on slow CPUs.

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.

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.
