2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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.

2015-07-29perf python: Make twatch.py use soft dummy event, freq=0Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+11
To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE + PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and goes... Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to those PERF_RECORD_ goodies).

2011-01-31perf evlist: Store pointer to the cpu and thread mapsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-2/+2
So that we don't have to pass it around to the several methods that needs it, simplifying usage. There is one case where we don't have the thread/cpu map in advance, which is in the parsing routines used by top, stat, record, that we have to wait till all options are parsed to know if a cpu or thread list was passed to then create those maps. For that case consolidate the cpu and thread map creation via perf_evlist__create_maps() out of the code in top and record, while also providing a perf_evlist__set_maps() for cases where multiple evlists share maps or for when maps that represent CPU sockets, for instance, get crafted out of topology information or subsets of threads in a particular application are to be monitored, providing more granularity in specifying which cpus and threads to monitor.

2011-01-30perf tools: Initial python bindingArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+41
First clarifying that this kind of binding is not a replacement or an equivalent to the 'perf script' way of using python with perf. The 'perf script' way is to process events and look at a given script for some python function that matches the events to pass each event for processing. This is a python module, i.e. everything is driven from the python script, that merely uses "import perf" or "from perf import". perf script is focused on tracepoints, this binding is focused on profiling as an initial target. More work is needed to make available tracepoint specific variables as event variables accessible via this binding. There is one example of such usage model, in tools/perf/python/twatch.py, a tool to watch "cycles" events together with task (fork, exit) and comm perf events. For now, due to me not being able to grok how python distutils cope with building C extensions outside the sources dir the install target just builds it, I'm using it as: [root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/ [root@emilia linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py cpu: 4, pid: 30126, tid: 30126 { type: mmap, pid: 30126, tid: 30126, start: 0x4, length: 0x82e9ca03, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 6, pid: 47, tid: 47 { type: mmap, pid: 47, tid: 47, start: 0x6, length: 0xbef87c36, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 1, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0x1, length: 0x775d1904, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 7, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0x7, length: 0xc750aeb6, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 5, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x5, length: 0x76669635, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 0, pid: 0, tid: 0 { type: mmap, pid: 0, tid: 0, start: 0, length: 0x6422ef6b, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 2, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x2, length: 0xe078757a, offset: 0, filename: } cpu: 1, pid: 5769, tid: 5769 { type: fork, pid: 30127, ppid: 5769, tid: 30127, ptid: 5769, time: 103893991270534} cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: comm, pid: 30127, tid: 30127, comm: ls } cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: exit, pid: 30127, ppid: 30127, tid: 30127, ptid: 30127, time: 103893993273024} The first 8 mmap events in this 8 way machine are a mistery that is still being investigated. More of the tools/perf/util/ APIs will be exposed via this python binding as the need arises. For now the focus is on creating events and processing them, symbol resolution is an obvious next step, with tracepoint variables as a close second step.
