<id>urn:sha1:9c11918040d6aa19c407ead4dc86b65e664f401f</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce two new AP bus related tracepoint events:
- There is a tracepoint s390_ap_nqap event immediately after a request
  has been pushed into the AP firmware queue with the NQAP AP command.
- The other tracepoint s390_ap_dqap event fires immediately after a
  reply has been pulled out of the AP firmware queue via DQAP AP
  command.
Both events are triggered unconditional and may need filtering.
Filtering can be done based on the status value which is part of
the nqap and dqap trace. So for example a
  echo "!(status &amp; 0x00ff0000)" &gt;.../s390_ap_dqap/filter
filters out all trace events which have a response_code != 0
leaving just the successful nqap and dqap invocations.

The idea of these two trace events focuses on performance to measure
the runtime of a crypto request/reply as close as possible at the
firmware level. In combination with the two zcrypt tracepoints (see
the zcrypt.h trace event definition file) this gives measurement data
about the runtime of a request/reply within the zcrpyt and AP bus
layer. However, with having the status of these AP commands in hand
also other usage may be possible.

<id>urn:sha1:507cff242a98a9712081197d63e0fdc99d9ed3dd</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a slight rework of the s390_zcrypt_req and s390_zcrypt_rep
trace event:
- the psmid has been added to the s390_zcrypt_rep
- "dev" renamed to "card"
- "domain" renamed to "dom"
The motivation of these changes is to make these traces more
aligned to new upcoming traces for AP bus related trace events.
Additionally the psmid is needed to match the reply (and thus
indirect the request) to AP bus related trace events where only
the psmid is unique identifying AP messages.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<title>s390/zcrypt: tracepoint definitions for zcrypt device driver.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:13b251bdc8b97c45cc8b1d57193ab05ec0fe97e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces tracepoint definitions and tracepoint
event invocations for the s390 zcrypt device.

Currently there are just two tracepoint events defined.
An s390_zcrypt_req request event occurs as soon as the
request is recognized by the zcrypt ioctl function. This
event may act as some kind of request-processing-starts-now
indication.
As late as possible within the zcrypt ioctl function there
occurs the s390_zcrypt_rep event which may act as the point
in time where the request has been processed by the kernel
and the result is about to be transferred back to userspace.
The glue which binds together request and reply event is the
ptr parameter, which is the local buffer address where the
request from userspace has been stored by the ioctl function.

The main purpose of this zcrypt tracepoint patch is to get
some data for performance measurements together with
information about the kind of request and on which card and
queue the request has been processed. It is not an ffdc
interface as there is already code in the zcrypt device
driver to serve the s390 debug feature interface.

Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt states that the naming scheme
for tracepoints is "subsys_event" to avoid collisions. Rename
the 'diagnose' tracepoint to 's390_diagnose'.
