<id>urn:sha1:33629d35090f5ce2b1b4ce78aa39954c603536d5</id>
<content type='text'>
Synopsys AHCI SATA controller can work pretty under with the generic
AHCI-platform driver control. But there are vendor-specific peculiarities
which can tune the device performance up and which may need to be fixed up
for proper device functioning. In addition some DWC AHCI-based controllers
may require small platform-specific fixups, so adding them in the generic
AHCI driver would have ruined the code simplicity. Shortly speaking in
order to keep the generic AHCI-platform code clean and have DWC AHCI
SATA-specific features supported we suggest to add a dedicated DWC AHCI
SATA device driver. Aside with the standard AHCI-platform resources
getting, enabling/disabling and the controller registration the new driver
performs the next actions.

First of all there is a way to verify whether the HBA/ports capabilities
activated in OF are correct. Almost all features availability is reflected
in the vendor-specific parameters registers. So the DWC AHCI driver does
the capabilities sanity check based on the corresponding fields state.

Secondly if either the Command Completion Coalescing or the Device Sleep
feature is enabled the DWC AHCI-specific internal 1ms timer must be fixed
in accordance with the application clock signal frequency. In particular
the timer value must be set to be Fapp * 1000. Normally the SoC designers
pre-configure the TIMER1MS register to contain a correct value by default.
But the platforms can support the application clock rate change. If that
happens the 1ms timer value must be accordingly updated otherwise the
dependent features won't work as expected. In the DWC AHCI driver we
suggest to rely on the "aclk" reference clock rate to set the timer
interval up. That clock source is supposed to be the AHCI SATA application
clock in accordance with the DT bindings.

Finally DWC AHCI SATA controller AXI/AHB bus DMA-engine can be tuned up to
transfer up to 1024 * FIFO words at a time by setting the Tx/Rx
transaction size in the DMA control register. The maximum value depends on
the DMA data bus and AXI/AHB bus maximum burst length. In most of the
cases it's better to set the maximum possible value to reach the best AHCI
SATA controller performance. But sometimes in order to improve the system
interconnect responsiveness, transferring in smaller data chunks may be
more preferable. For such cases and for the case when the default value
doesn't provide the best DMA bus performance we suggest to use the new
HBA-port specific DT-properties "snps,{tx,rx}-ts-max" to tune the DMA
transactions size up.

After all the settings denoted above are handled the DWC AHCI SATA driver
proceeds further with the standard AHCI-platform host initializations.

Note since DWC AHCI controller is now have a dedicated driver we can
discard the corresponding compatible string from the ahci-platform.c
module. The same concerns "snps,spear-ahci" compatible string, which is
also based on the DWC AHCI IP-core.

<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.
