Julia Lawall 21195f8e9a coccinelle: deref_null: improve performance
Move rules looking for some special cases of safe dereferences before
the collection of NULL-tested values.  The special cases are fairly
rare, but somewhat costly to find, because isomorphisms create many
variants of the rules.  There is thus no need to search for them over
and over for each NULL tested expression.  Collecting them just once
is sufficient and more efficient.

Himanshu Jha 5e2d9da5b9 Coccinelle: kzalloc-simple: Add all zero allocating functions
There are many instances where memory is allocated using regular
allocator functions immediately followed by setting the allocated
memory to 0 value using memset.

We already have zero memory allocator functions to set the memory to
0 value instead of manually setting it using memset.

Therefore, use zero memory allocating functions instead of regular
memory allocators followed by memset 0 to remove redundant memset and
make the code more cleaner and also reduce the code size.

Adding two #define constants is less common than performing & and |
operations on them, so put the addition first to reduce the set of cases
that have to be considered in detail.  At the same time, add & and |
patterns for both arguments of +, to account for commutativity and obtain
more results.

Running time is divided by 3 when applying this to the whole kernel on my
laptop with an Intel i5-6200U CPU.

Surprisingly, ld-version.sh can extract the version number from the
string "Requires Coccinelle version 1.0.0-rc20 or later", but this
expectation is fragile.  Fix the .cocci file.  I removed "-rc20"
because ld-version.sh cannot handle it.

Make the coccicheck script to see exact patterns for "Options:" and
"Requires:" in order to avoid accidental matching to what just happens
to appear in comment lines.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
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.

remains for compatibility.

Yann Droneaud b7b2ee41f3 coccinelle: catch krealloc() on devm_*() allocated memory
krealloc() must not be used against devm_*() allocated
memory regions:

- if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() and
  __krealloc() could return a different pointer than the
  one given to them, creating a memory region which is not
  managed, thus it will not be automatically released on
  device removal.

- if a bigger memory is to be allocated, krealloc() could
  kfree() the managed memory region which is passed to it.
  The old pointer is left registered as a resource for the
  device. On device removal, this dangling pointer will be
  used and an unrelated memory region could be released.

- if the requested size is equal to 0, krealloc() can also
  just behave like kfree(). Here too, the old pointer is
  kept associated with the device. On device removal, this
  invalid pointer will be used and an unrelated memory
  region could be released.

For all these reasons, krealloc() must not be used on a
pointer returned by devm_*() functions.

Nicolai Stange 5103068eac debugfs, coccinelle: check for obsolete DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() usage
In order to protect against file removal races, debugfs files created via
debugfs_create_file() now get wrapped by a struct file_operations at their
opening.

If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against removal
races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed by creating
the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe().

In order to help debugfs users who use the common
  DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file()
idiom to transition to removal safe struct file_operations, the helper
macro DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() has been introduced.

Thus, the preferred strategy is to use
  DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
now.

Introduce a Coccinelle script that searches for
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE()-defined struct file_operations handed into
