Hi Linus,
Please, pull the following patches that mark switch cases where we are
expecting to fall through. These patches are part of the ongoing efforts
to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough. Most of them have been baking in linux-next
for a whole development cycle.
Also, pull the Makefile patch that globally enables the
-Wimplicit-fallthrough option.
Finally, some missing-break fixes that have been tagged for -stable:
- drm/amdkfd: Fix missing break in switch statement
- drm/amdgpu/gfx10: Fix missing break in switch statement
Notice that with these changes, we completely get rid of all the
fall-through warnings in the kernel.
Thanks

The conversion itself is simple: add a markup for the
title of this file and add markups for both tables.
Yet, the big table here with IOCTL numbers is badly formatted:
on several lines, the "Include File" column has some values that
are bigger than the reserved space there.
Also, on several places, a comment was misplaced at the "Include
File" space.
So, most of the work here is to actually ensure that each field
will be properly fixed.
Also worth to mention that some URLs have the asterisk character
on it. Well, Sphinx has an issue with asterisks in the middle
of an string. As this is URL, use the alternate format: %2A.
As a side effect of this patch, it is now a lot easier to see that
some reserved ioctl numbers are missing the include files
where it is supposed to be used.
PS.: While this is part of a subdir, I opted to convert this
single file alone, as this file has a potential of conflicts,
as most subsystem maintainers touch it.

With all isdn4linux hardware drivers gone, this is only a wrapper around
CAPI to support old user space. However, from looking at the mailing
list, it seems that the last time anyone asked about it was in 2014,
when the upgrade from a linux-2.4 installation failed, and mISDN was
suggested as a replacement.
The largest public ISDN network (Deutsche Telekom) was supposed to be
shut down 2018, which must have drastically reduced the number of legacy
installations.
When we last discussed removing i4l in 2016, Karsten Keil suggested
revisiting this in 2018. I guess this is overdue.

Just like the CDDL the Apache license and the MPL must only be used as
a choice in additional to an GPL2 compatible license. Copy over the
boilerplate from the CDDL file to the other two after fixing it up to
make it clear the licenses need to be GPL2 compatible, not just the
more generic GPL compatible. For example the Apache 2 license is GPL3
compatible, but that doesn't matter for the kernel.
Also move these licenses to a separate directory and document the rules

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit
architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or
file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for
a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig
size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use
64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway,
so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either.
Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that
has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.

The documentation for Co-developed-by is a bit light on details, e.g. it
doesn't explicitly state that:
- Multiple Co-developed-by tags are perfectly acceptable
- Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by must be paired together
- SOB ordering should still follow standard sign-off procedure
Lack of explicit direction has resulted in developers taking a variety
of approaches, often lacking any intent whatsoever, e.g. scattering SOBs
willy-nilly, collecting them all at the end or the beginning, etc...
Tweak the wording to make it clear that multiple co-authors are allowed,
and document the expectation that standard sign-off procedures are to
be followed.
The use of "original author" has also led to confusion as many patches
don't have just one "original" author, e.g. when multiple developers
are involved from the genesis of the patch. Remove all usage of
"original" and instead call out that Co-developed-by is simply a way to
provide attribution in addition to the From tag, i.e. neither tag is

The instructions for generating patches are given as shell commands
with variables as placeholders. They use the syntax "SRCTREE= linux",
which is wrong for the Bourne shell family (it runs the command
"linux" with the variable "SRCTREE" set to the empty string).
Remove the spaces to avoid confusion. This breaks the pretty alignment
but helps new contributors who try to run the commands as written.

...and use a commit with an obnoxiously long summary in the example to
make it abundantly clear that keeping the tag on a single line takes
priority over wrapping at 75 columns. Without the explicit exemption,
one might assume splitting the tag is acceptable, even encouraged, e.g.
due to being conditioned by checkpatch's line length warning.
Per Stephen's scripts[1] and implied by commit bf4daf12a9 ("checkpatch:
avoid some commit message long line warnings"), splitting the 'Fixes:'
tag across multiple lines is a no-no, presumably because parsing multi-
line tags is unnecessarily painful.

The original MODULE_LICENSE string for kernel modules licensed under the
GPL v2 (only / or later) was simply "GPL", which was - and still is -
completely sufficient for the purpose of module loading and checking
whether the module is free software or proprietary.
In January 2003 this was changed with commit 3344ea3ad4b7 ("[PATCH]
MODULE_LICENSE and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL support"). This commit can be found in
the history git repository which holds the 1:1 import of Linus' bitkeeper
repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=3344ea3ad4b7c302c846a680dbaeedf96ed45c02
The main intention of the patch was to refuse linking proprietary modules
against symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() at module load time.
As a completely undocumented side effect it also introduced the distinction
between "GPL" and "GPL v2" MODULE_LICENSE() strings:
* "GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]
* "GPL v2" [GNU Public License v2]
* "GPL and additional rights" [GNU Public License v2 rights and more]
* "Dual BSD/GPL" [GNU Public License v2
* or BSD license choice]
* "Dual MPL/GPL" [GNU Public License v2
* or Mozilla license choice]
This distinction was and still is wrong in several aspects:
1) It broke all modules which were using the "GPL" string in the
MODULE_LICENSE() already and were licensed under GPL v2 only.
A quick license scan over the tree at that time shows that at least 480
out of 1484 modules have been affected by this change back then. The
number is probably way higher as this was just a quick check for
clearly identifiable license information.
There was exactly ONE instance of a "GPL v2" module license string in
the kernel back then - drivers/net/tulip/xircom_tulip_cb.c which
otherwise had no license information at all. There is no indication
that the change above is any way related to this driver. The change
happend with the 2.4.11 release which was on Oct. 9 2001 - so quite
some time before the above commit. Unfortunately there is no trace on
the intertubes to any discussion of this.
2) The dual licensed strings became ill defined as well because following
the "GPL" vs. "GPL v2" distinction all dual licensed (or additional
rights) MODULE_LICENSE strings would either require those dual licensed
modules to be licensed under GPL v2 or later or just be unspecified for
the dual licensing case. Neither choice is coherent with the GPL
distinction.
Due to the lack of a proper changelog and no real discussion on the patch
submission other than a few implementation details, it's completely unclear
why this distinction was introduced at all. Other than the comment in the
module header file exists no documentation for this at all.
From a license compliance and license scanning POV this distinction is a
total nightmare.
As of 5.0-rc2 2873 out of 9200 instances of MODULE_LICENSE() strings are
conflicting with the actual license in the source code (either SPDX or
license boilerplate/reference). A comparison between the scan of the
history tree and a scan of current Linus tree shows to the extent that the
git rename detection over Linus tree grafted with the history tree is
halfways complete that almost none of the files which got broken in 2003
have been cleaned up vs. the MODULE_LICENSE string. So subtracting those
480 known instances from the conflicting 2800 of today more than 25% of the
module authors got it wrong and it's a high propability that a large
portion of the rest just got it right by chance.
There is no value for the module loader to convey the detailed license
information as the only decision to be made is whether the module is free
software or not.
The "and additional rights", "BSD" and "MPL" strings are not conclusive
license information either. So there is no point in trying to make the GPL
part conclusive and exact. As shown above it's already non conclusive for
dual licensing and incoherent with a large portion of the module source.
As an unintended side effect this distinction causes a major headache for
license compliance, license scanners and the ongoing effort to clean up the
license mess of the kernel.
Therefore remove the well meant, but ill defined, distinction between "GPL"
and "GPL v2" and document that:
- "GPL" and "GPL v2" both express that the module is licensed under GPLv2
(without a distinction of 'only' and 'or later') and is therefore kernel
license compliant.
- None of the MODULE_LICENSE strings can be used for expressing or
determining the exact license
- Their sole purpose is to decide whether the module is free software or
not.
Add a MODULE_LICENSE subsection to the license rule documentation as well.

Many people feel there is still a legitimate place for bool in structures,
so provide some guidance on bool usage derived from the entire thread that

This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
and bring them up to date.
The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
(i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g. GCC_VERSION),
which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared, reducing the size
of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.
Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a significant
simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now only guarding
a few non-attribute macros).
This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the kernel
with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments have also
been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now more readable,
which should help kernel developers in general.
The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this series
has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize __has_attribute
on its own.
Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also applied
on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for unreachable()
that came a bit afterwards.
