7832681b36 Merge tag 'docs-4.15' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.

  - The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.

  - We have a couple of new helper scripts. find-unused-docs.sh from
    Sayli Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually
    used in the documentation. Jani Nikula's
    documentation-file-ref-check finds references to non-existing files.

  - A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.

  - Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST

  Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.

  This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
  all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
  places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

ba1029c9cb modpost: detect modules without a MODULE_LICENSE
Partially revert commit 2fa3656829 ("kbuild: soften MODULE_LICENSE
check") so that modpost detects modules that do not have a
MODULE_LICENSE.

Sam's commit also changed the fatal error to a warning, which I am
leaving as is.

This gives advance notice of when a module has no license and will taint
the kernel if the module is loaded.

This produces the following warnings on x86_64 allmodconfig:

136fc5c41f scripts: add leaking_addresses.pl
Currently we are leaking addresses from the kernel to user space. This
script is an attempt to find some of those leakages. Script parses
`dmesg` output and /proc and /sys files for hex strings that look like
kernel addresses.

Only works for 64 bit kernels, the reason being that kernel addresses on
64 bit kernels have 'ffff' as the leading bit pattern making greping
possible. On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury.

Scripts is _slightly_ smarter than a straight grep, we check for false
positives (all 0's or all 1's, and vsyscall start/finish addresses).

[ I think there is a lot of room for improvement here, but it's already
  useful, so I'm merging it as-is. The whole "hash %p format" series is
  expected to go into 4.15, but will not fix %x users, and will not
  incentivize people to look at what they are leaking.     - Linus ]

5cb0512c02 Kbuild: don't pass "-C" to preprocessor when processing linker scripts
For some odd historical reason, we preprocessed the linker scripts with
"-C", which keeps comments around.  That makes no sense, since the
comments are not meaningful for the build anyway.

And it actually breaks things, since linker scripts can't have C++ style
"//" comments in them, so keeping comments after preprocessing now
limits us in odd and surprising ways in our header files for no good
reason.

The -C option goes back to pre-git and pre-bitkeeper times, but seems to
have been historically used (along with "-traditional") for some
odd-ball architectures (ia64, MIPS and SH).  It probably didn't matter
back then either, but might possibly have been used to minimize the
difference between the original file and the pre-processed result.

The reason for this may be lost in time, but let's not perpetuate it
only because we can't remember why we did this crazy thing.

This was triggered by the recent addition of SPDX lines to the source
tree, where people apparently were confused about why header files
couldn't use the C++ comment format.

ead751507d Merge tag 'spdx_identifiers-4.14-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
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.

51962a9d43 scripts/kallsyms.c: ignore symbol type 'n'
gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with
'-frecord-gcc-switches'.  In most cases, those symbols are reported with
nm as

	000000000000000e n $d

and with objdump as

	0000000000000000 l    d  .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
	000000000000000e l       .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 $d

Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored.
However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the
situation is different.  For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are
built with

	'--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'.

In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported
by nm as:

	000000000000000e n __efistub_$d
and by objdump as:
	0000000000000000 l    d  .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
	000000000000000e l       .GCC.command.line	0000000000000000 __efistub_$d

Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address
calculation.  This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which
in turn causes kallsyms to abort with

    kallsyms failure:
	relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode

The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI
enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.

Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug
symbols.

2aab9c3ca4 scripts: fix faddr2line to work on last symbol
If faddr2line is given a function name which is the last one listed by
"nm -n", it will fail because it never finds the next symbol.

So teach the awk script to catch that possibility, and use 'size' to
provide the end point of the last function.

e8939222dc Documentation: add script and build target to check for broken file references
Add a simple script and build target to do a treewide grep for
references to files under Documentation, and report the non-existing
file in stderr. It tries to take into account punctuation not part of
the filename, and wildcards, but there are bound to be false positives
too. Mostly seems accurate though.

We've moved files around enough to make having this worthwhile.

a08ffbef4a checkpatch: fix ignoring cover-letter logic
Currently running checkpatch on a directory with a cover-letter.patch
file reports the following error:

  -----------------------------------------

  ERROR: Does not appear to be a unified-diff format patch

The logic to suppress the unified-diff check for cover letters is there
but is checking $file instead of $filename.  Fix the variable to use the
correct one.

da541b2002 objtool: Skip unreachable warnings for GCC 4.4 and older
The kbuild bot occasionally reports warnings like:

  drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_core.o: warning: objtool: seldo_run()+0x130: unreachable instruction

These warnings are always with GCC 4.4.  That version of GCC sometimes
places unreachable instructions after calls to noreturn functions.

The unreachable warnings aren't very important anyway.  Just ignore them
for old versions of GCC.

5cb5c31cdf scripts/kernel-doc: warn on excess enum value descriptions
The existing message
	"Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member [...]"
made it sound like this would already be done, but the
code is never invoked for enums or typedefs (and really
can't be).

Add some code to the enum dumper to handle this there
instead.

While at it, also make the above message more accurate
by simply dumping the type that was passed in, and pass
the struct/union differentiation in.

Update dtx_diff include paths in the same manner as:
commit b12869a8d5 ("of: remove drivers/of/testcase-data from
include search path for CPP"), commit 5ffa2aed38 ("of: remove
arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts from include search path for CPP"), and
commit 50f9ddaf64 ("of: search scripts/dtc/include-prefixes path
for both CPP and DTC").

Remove proposed include path kernel/dts/, which was never implemented
for the dtb build.

For the diff case, each source file is compiled separately.  For
each of those compiles, provide the location of the source file
as an include path, not the location of both source files.

25b080bd53 kbuild: rpm-pkg: fix version number handling
The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the
.version file.

However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file.
So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION
always indicates #1.  This does not match with "rpm -q".

The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either.
Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is
created.  Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion.  This script returns an
incremented version.  So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is
greater than the version in the kernel by one.

For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can
give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command.

For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file
because it contains the version number that was used for building the
kernel image.

We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need
not touch the .version file.

Since then, "make rpm-pkg" / "make binrpm-pkg" fails to build with
the error:

  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `firmware_install'.  Stop.

Commit df85b2d767 ("firmware: Restore support for built-in firmware")
restored the build infrastructure for CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, but this
is out of the scope of "make firmware_install".  So, the right thing to
do is to kill the use of "make firmware_install".
