asm-generic: don't include in cacheflush.h

2020-06-08T18:05:57+00:00

This seems to lead to some crazy include loops when using asm-generic/cacheflush.h on more architectures, so leave it to the arch header for now.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

libnvdimm, nd_blk: remove mmio_flush_range()

2017-08-31T22:05:10+00:00

mmio_flush_range() suffers from a lack of clearly-defined semantics, and is somewhat ambiguous to port to other architectures where the scope of the writeback implied by "flush" and ordering might matter, but MMIO would tend to imply non-cacheable anyway. Per the rationale in 67a3e8fe9015 ("nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB"), the only existing use is actually to invalidate clean cache lines for ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM type mappings *without* writeback. Since the recent cleanup of the pmem API, that also now happens to be the exact purpose of arch_invalidate_pmem(), which would be a far more well-defined tool for the job. Rather than risk potentially inconsistent implementations of mmio_flush_range() for the sake of one callsite, streamline things by removing it entirely and instead move the ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM related definitions up to the libnvdimm level, so they can be shared by NFIT as well. This allows NFIT to be enabled for arm64. Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

treewide: move set_memory_* functions away from cacheflush.h

2017-05-09T00:15:13+00:00

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3. The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days, the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to do with caches.

mm: add arch-independent testcases for RODATA

2017-02-28T02:43:48+00:00

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific because using inline assembly directly. And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build. To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it to shared location.

It was introduced in "arch, x86: pmem api for ensuring durability of persistent memory updates" in July 2015, along with the code that really used that stuff. Three weeks later all that code got moved to asm/pmem.h by "pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header"; include, however, was left behind. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

x86/mm: Always enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and remove the Kconfig option

2016-02-22T07:51:38+00:00

This removes the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option and makes it always enabled. This simplifies the code and also makes it clearer that read-only mapped memory is just as fundamental a security feature in kernel-space as it is in user-space.

nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB

2015-08-27T23:38:28+00:00

This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was done on a random lab machine. PMEM reads from a write combining mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s PMEM reads from a write-back mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read, and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed. In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently only supported on x86. Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
