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.

Linus Torvalds b91e1302ad mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page()
In commit 6290602709 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.

However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
just got updated atomically.

On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd.  The
atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
not the value of an unrelated bit.

On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
"xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
bits), and look at the other bits of the result.  However, an even
simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
of the unrelated bit #7.

So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too.  And architectures
with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.

This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
the costly stall at page unlock time.

The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit.  Nick doesn't
love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.

So this introduces the new architecture primitive

    clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();

and adds the trivial implementation for x86.  We have a generic
non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
better.  According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
example, but some other architectures may not even care.

All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test".  After this, it's down to
0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.

(The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
by Nick's earlier commit).

Denys Vlasenko 8dd5032d9c x86/asm/bitops: Force inlining of test_and_set_bit and friends
Sometimes GCC mysteriously doesn't inline very small functions
we expect to be inlined, see:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122

Arguably, GCC should do better, but GCC people aren't willing
to invest time into it and are asking to use __always_inline
instead.

With this .config:

  http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os

here's an example of functions getting deinlined many times:

  test_and_set_bit (166 copies, ~1260 calls)

Linus Torvalds 72d9310460 Make ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER a real config variable
It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
<asm/bitops.h> that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.

This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.

NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong.  If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies.  This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.

This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

In checkin:

0c44c2d0f4 x86: Use asm goto to implement better modify_and_test() functions

the various functions which do modify and test were unified and
optimized using "asm goto".  However, this change missed the detail
that the bitops require an "Ir" constraint rather than an "er"
constraint ("I" = integer constant from 0-31, "e" = signed 32-bit
integer constant).  This would cause code to miscompile if these
functions were used on constant bit positions 32-255 and the build to
fail if used on constant bit positions above 255.

Add the constraints as a parameter to the GEN_BINARY_RMWcc() macro to
avoid this problem.

Peter Zijlstra 0c44c2d0f4 x86: Use asm goto to implement better modify_and_test() functions
Linus suggested using asm goto to get rid of the typical SETcc + TEST
instruction pair -- which also clobbers an extra register -- for our
typical modify_and_test() functions.

Because asm goto doesn't allow output fields it has to include an
unconditinal memory clobber when it changes a memory variable to force
a reload.

Luckily all atomic ops already imply a compiler barrier to go along
with their memory barrier semantics.

H. Peter Anvin 9b710506a0 x86, bitops: Change bitops to be native operand size
Change the bitops operation to be naturally "long", i.e. 63 bits on
the 64-bit kernel.  Additional bugs are likely to crop up in the
future.

We already have bugs which machines with > 16 TiB of memory in a
single node, as can happen if memory is interleaved.  The x86 bitop
operations take a signed index, so using an unsigned type is not an
option.

Jim Kukunas measured the effect of this patch on kernel size: it adds
2779 bytes to the allyesconfig kernel.  Some of that probably could be
elided by replacing the inline functions with macros which select the
32-bit type if the index is a 32-bit value, something like:

In that case we could also use "Jr" constraints for the 64-bit
version.

However, this would more than double the amount of code for a
relatively small gain.

Note that we can't use ilog2() for _BITOPS_LONG_SHIFT, as that causes
a recursive header inclusion problem.

The change to constant_test_bit() should both generate better code and
give correct result for negative bit indicies.  As previously written
the compiler had to generate extra code to create the proper wrong
result for negative values.

Jan Beulich 5870661c09 x86: Prefer TZCNT over BFS
Following a relatively recent compiler change, make use of the
fact that for non-zero input BSF and TZCNT produce the same
result, and that CPUs not knowing of TZCNT will treat the
instruction as BSF (i.e. ignore what looks like a REP prefix to
them). The assumption here is that TZCNT would never have worse
performance than BSF.

For the moment, only do this when the respective generic-CPU
option is selected (as there are no specific-CPU options
covering the CPUs supporting TZCNT), and don't do that when size
optimization was requested.

The 64-bit special cases of the former two (the thrird one is
64-bit only anyway) don't need to use "long" temporaries, as the
result will always fit in a 32-bit variable, and the functions
return plain "int". This avoids a few REX prefixes, i.e.
minimally reduces code size.

David Howells ca3d30cc02 x86_64, asm: Optimise fls(), ffs() and fls64()
fls(N), ffs(N) and fls64(N) can be optimised on x86_64.  Currently they use a
CMOV instruction after the BSR/BSF to set the destination register to -1 if the
value to be scanned was 0 (in which case BSR/BSF set the Z flag).

Instead, according to the AMD64 specification, we can make use of the fact that
BSR/BSF doesn't modify its output register if its input is 0.  By preloading
the output with -1 and incrementing the result, we achieve the desired result
without the need for a conditional check.

The Intel x86_64 specification, however, says that the result of BSR/BSF in
such a case is undefined.  That said, when queried, one of the Intel CPU
architects said that the behaviour on all Intel CPUs is that:

 (1) with BSRQ/BSFQ, the 64-bit destination register is written with its
     original value if the source is 0, thus, in essence, giving the effect we
     want.  And,

 (2) with BSRL/BSFL, the lower half of the 64-bit destination register is
     written with its original value if the source is 0, and the upper half is
     cleared, thus giving us the effect we want (we return a 4-byte int).

Further, it was indicated that they (Intel) are unlikely to get away with
changing the behaviour.

It might be possible to optimise the 32-bit versions of these functions, but
there's a lot more variation, and so the effective non-destructive property of
BSRL/BSRF cannot be relied on.

[ hpa: specifically, some 486 chips are known to NOT have this property. ]

I have benchmarked these functions on my Core2 Duo test machine using the
following program:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <stdio.h>

	#ifndef __x86_64__
	#error
	#endif

	#define PAGE_SHIFT 12

		    : "+r" (bitpos)
		    : "rm" (x));
		return bitpos + 1;
	}

	static inline unsigned long __fls(unsigned long word)
	{
		asm("bsr %1,%0"
		    : "=r" (word)
		    : "rm" (word));
		return word;
	}
	static __always_inline int old_fls64(__u64 x)
	{
		if (x == 0)
			return 0;
		return __fls(x) + 1;
	}

		size = (size - 1) >> (PAGE_SHIFT - 1);

			order++;
		} while (size);
		return order;
	}

	{

	}

	int get_order(unsigned long size)
	{

		size--;
		size >>= PAGE_SHIFT;
		order = fls64(size);
		return order;
	}

	unsigned long prevent_optimise_out;

	static noinline unsigned long test_old_get_order(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += old_get_order(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	static noinline unsigned long test_get_order_old_fls64(void)

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order_old_fls64(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	static noinline unsigned long test_get_order(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		unsigned long total;

		switch (argc) {
		case 1:  total = test_old_get_order();		break;
		case 2:  total = test_get_order_old_fls64();	break;
		default: total = test_get_order();		break;
		}
		prevent_optimise_out = total;
		return 0;
	}

This allows me to test the use of the old fls64() implementation and the new
fls64() implementation and also to contrast these to the out-of-line loop-based
implementation of get_order().  The results were:

	warthog>time ./get_order
	real    1m37.191s
	user    1m36.313s
	sys     0m0.861s
	warthog>time ./get_order x
	real    0m16.892s
	user    0m16.586s
	sys     0m0.287s
	warthog>time ./get_order x x
	real    0m7.731s
	user    0m7.727s
	sys     0m0.002s

Using the current upstream fls64() as a basis for an inlined get_order() [the
second result above] is much faster than using the current out-of-line
loop-based get_order() [the first result above].

Using my optimised inline fls64()-based get_order() [the third result above]
is even faster still.

Akinobu Mita 61f2e7b0f4 bitops: remove minix bitops from asm/bitops.h
minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
other modules.  Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
on each architecture like below:

m68k:
	big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps

h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
	big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps

m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
	big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
	little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode

Others:
	little-endian bitmaps

In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.

CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa).  The architectures which always use little-endian
bitmaps do not select these options.

Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
architectures.

x86 and tile enable both CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT and
CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT. These architectures cannot include
asm-generic/bitops/find.h in their asm/bitops.h. So ifdefed extern
declarations of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit() are put in
linux/bitops.h.

This makes asm-generic/bitops/find.h usable by these architectures
and use it. Also this change is needed for the forthcoming duplicated

Alexander Chumachenko c9e2fbd909 x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4
misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile
addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *'
with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading
to hang.

Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined
constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug.

Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently;
2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype
(commit c4295fbb60) but probably fixing the issue
itself is better.

Impact: reduce kernel image size

Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.

Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.

Probably should be done for other architectures too.

Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.

On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.

With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:
