New architectures should no longer need stat64, which is not y2038
safe and has been replaced by statx(). This removes the 'select
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64' statement from asm-generic/unistd.h and instead
moves it into the respective asm/unistd.h UAPI header files for each
architecture that uses it today.
In the generic file, the system call number and entry points are now
made conditional, so newly added architectures (e.g. riscv32 or csky)
will never need to carry backwards compatiblity for it.
arm64 is the only 64-bit architecture using the asm-generic/unistd.h
file, and it already sets __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT in its headers, and I
use the same #ifdef here: future 64-bit architectures therefore won't
see newstat or stat64 any more. They don't suffer from the y2038 time_t
overflow, but for consistency it seems best to also let them use statx().

Some of the atomics return the result of a test applied after the atomic
operation, and almost all architectures implement these as trivial
wrappers around the underlying atomic. Specifically:
* <atomic>_inc_and_test(v) is (<atomic>_inc_return(v) == 0)
* <atomic>_dec_and_test(v) is (<atomic>_dec_return(v) == 0)
* <atomic>_sub_and_test(i, v) is (<atomic>_sub_return(i, v) == 0)
* <atomic>_add_negative(i, v) is (<atomic>_add_return(i, v) < 0)
Rather than have these definitions duplicated in all architectures, with
minor inconsistencies in formatting and documentation, let's make these
operations optional, with default fallbacks as above. Implementations
must now provide a preprocessor symbol.
The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.
Both x86 and m68k have custom implementations, which are left as-is,
given preprocessor symbols to avoid being overridden.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Several architectures these have a near-identical implementation based
on atomic_read() and atomic_cmpxchg() which we can instead define in
<linux/atomic.h>, so let's do so, using something close to the existing
x86 implementation with try_cmpxchg().
Where an architecture provides its own atomic_fetch_add_unless(), it
must define a preprocessor symbol for it. The instrumented atomics are
updated accordingly.
Note that arch/arc's existing atomic_fetch_add_unless() had redundant
barriers, as these are already present in its atomic_cmpxchg()
implementation.

While __atomic_add_unless() was originally intended as a building-block
for atomic_add_unless(), it's now used in a number of places around the
kernel. It's the only common atomic operation named __atomic*(), rather
than atomic_*(), and for consistency it would be better named
atomic_fetch_add_unless().
This lack of consistency is slightly confusing, and gets in the way of
scripting atomics. Given that, let's clean things up and promote it to
an official part of the atomics API, in the form of
atomic_fetch_add_unless().
This patch converts definitions and invocations over to the new name,
including the instrumented version, using the following script:
----
git grep -w __atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
sed -i '{s/\<__atomic_add_unless\>/atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
done
git grep -w __arch_atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
sed -i '{s/\<__arch_atomic_add_unless\>/arch_atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
done
----
Note that we do not have atomic{64,_long}_fetch_add_unless(), which will
be introduced by later patches.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

We have a couple of files that try to include asm/compat.h on

higher-level linux/compat.h file, but that in turn fails to include
asm/compat.h when CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, unless we can provide
that header on all architectures.
This adds the asm/compat.h for all remaining architectures to
simplify the dependencies.

A bugfix I did earlier caused a build regression on h8300, which defines
the __BIG_ENDIAN macro in a slightly different way than the generic
code:
arch/h8300/include/asm/byteorder.h:5:0: warning: "__BIG_ENDIAN" redefined
We don't need to define it here, as the same macro is already provided
by the linux/byteorder/big_endian.h, and that version does not conflict.
While this is a v4.16 regression, my earlier patch also got backported
to the 4.14 and 4.15 stable kernels, so we need the fixup there as well.

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.
This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
API will allow drivers to express that requirement.
Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
couple minor non-critical fixes.
Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.
Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
hardware.

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.
The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:
init_thread_union
init_stack
INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

Commit 0515e5999a ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure. This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs. Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.
For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it. For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.
To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type. An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.
The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are 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. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

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.
