* asm-generic: simplify asm/unaligned.hArnd Bergmann2021-05-171-13/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() implementations are much more complex than necessary, now that all architectures use the same code. Move everything into one file and use a much more compact way to express the same logic. I've compared the binary output using gcc-11 across defconfig builds for all architectures and found this patch to make no difference, except for a single function on powerpc that needs two additional register moves because of random differences in register allocation. There are a handful of callers of the low-level __get_unaligned_cpu32, so leave that in place for the time being even though the common code no longer uses it. This adds a warning for any caller of get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() that passes in a single-byte pointer, but I've sent patches for all instances that show up in x86 and randconfig builds. It would be nice to change the arguments of the endian-specific accessors to take the matching __be16/__be32/__be64/__le16/__le32/__le64 arguments instead of a void pointer, but that requires more changes to the rest of the kernel. This new version does allow aggregate types into get_unaligned(), which was not the original goal but might come in handy. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* asm-generic: unaligned always use struct helpersArnd Bergmann2021-05-101-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As found by Vineet Gupta and Linus Torvalds, gcc has somewhat unexpected behavior when faced with overlapping unaligned pointers. The kernel's unaligned/access-ok.h header technically invokes undefined behavior that happens to usually work on the architectures using it, but if the compiler optimizes code based on the assumption that undefined behavior doesn't happen, it can create output that actually causes data corruption. A related problem was previously found on 32-bit ARMv7, where most instructions can be used on unaligned data, but 64-bit ldrd/strd causes an exception. The workaround was to always use the unaligned/le_struct.h helper instead of unaligned/access-ok.h, in commit 1cce91dfc8f7 ("ARM: 8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h"). The same solution should work on all other architectures as well, so remove the access-ok.h variant and use the other one unconditionally on all architectures, picking either the big-endian or little-endian version. With this, the arm specific header can be removed as well, and the only file including linux/unaligned/access_ok.h gets moved to including the normal file. Fortunately, this made almost no difference to the object code produced by gcc-11. On x86, s390, powerpc, and arc, the resulting binary appears to be identical to the previous version, while on arm64 and m68k there are minimal differences that looks like an optimization pass went into a different direction, usually using fewer stack spills on the new version.

* asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpersArnd Bergmann2021-05-101-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In theory, compilers should be able to work this out themselves so we can use a simpler version based on the swab() helpers. I have verified that this works on all supported compiler versions (gcc-4.9 and up, clang-10 and up). Looking at the object code produced by gcc-11, I found that the impact is mostly a change in inlining decisions that lead to slightly larger code. In other cases, this version produces explicit byte swaps in place of separate byte access, or comparing against pre-swapped constants. While the source code is clearly simpler, I have not seen an indication of the new version actually producing better code on Arm, so maybe we want to skip this after all. From what I can tell, gcc recognizes the byteswap pattern in the byteshift.h header and can turn it into explicit instructions, but it does not turn a __builtin_bswap32() back into individual bytes when that would result in better output, e.g. when storing a byte-reversed constant.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kernel: Move arches to use common unaligned accessHarvey Harrison2008-04-291-124/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unaligned access is ok for the following arches: cris, m68k, mn10300, powerpc, s390, x86 Arches that use the memmove implementation for native endian, and the byteshifting for the opposite endianness. h8300, m32r, xtensa Packed struct for native endian, byteshifting for other endian: alpha, blackfin, ia64, parisc, sparc, sparc64, mips, sh m86knommu is generic_be for Coldfire, otherwise unaligned access is ok. frv, arm chooses endianness based on compiler settings, uses the byteshifting versions. Remove the unaligned trap handler from frv as it is now unused. v850 is le, uses the byteshifting versions for both be and le. Remove the now unused asm-generic implementation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git 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. Let it rip!
