Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level
that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in
the next merge window.
The main changes in this cycle were:
Hardware enablement:
- Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention)
CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)
[ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]
- Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)
- Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)
Other changes:
- A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
Lutomirski)
- Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)
- 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)
- Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
FPU init code (Andi Kleen)
- Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada)
- ... plus misc enhancements, fixes and cleanups"

Pull core locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Another attempt at enabling cross-release lockdep dependency
tracking (automatically part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y), this time
with better performance and fewer false positives. (Byungchul Park)

- Convert remaining uses of ACCESS_ONCE() to
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(). Most of the conversion was Coccinelle
driven. (Mark Rutland, Paul E. McKenney)

Partially revert commit 2fa365682943 ("kbuild: soften MODULE_LICENSE
check") so that modpost detects modules that do not have a
MODULE_LICENSE.
Sam's commit also changed the fatal error to a warning, which I am
leaving as is.
This gives advance notice of when a module has no license and will taint
the kernel if the module is loaded.
This produces the following warnings on x86_64 allmodconfig:

Currently we are leaking addresses from the kernel to user space. This
script is an attempt to find some of those leakages. Script parses
`dmesg` output and /proc and /sys files for hex strings that look like
kernel addresses.
Only works for 64 bit kernels, the reason being that kernel addresses on
64 bit kernels have 'ffff' as the leading bit pattern making greping
possible. On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury.
Scripts is _slightly_ smarter than a straight grep, we check for false
positives (all 0's or all 1's, and vsyscall start/finish addresses).
[ I think there is a lot of room for improvement here, but it's already
useful, so I'm merging it as-is. The whole "hash %p format" series is
expected to go into 4.15, but will not fix %x users, and will not
incentivize people to look at what they are leaking. - Linus ]

For some odd historical reason, we preprocessed the linker scripts with
"-C", which keeps comments around. That makes no sense, since the
comments are not meaningful for the build anyway.
And it actually breaks things, since linker scripts can't have C++ style
"//" comments in them, so keeping comments after preprocessing now
limits us in odd and surprising ways in our header files for no good
reason.
The -C option goes back to pre-git and pre-bitkeeper times, but seems to
have been historically used (along with "-traditional") for some
odd-ball architectures (ia64, MIPS and SH). It probably didn't matter
back then either, but might possibly have been used to minimize the
difference between the original file and the pre-processed result.
The reason for this may be lost in time, but let's not perpetuate it
only because we can't remember why we did this crazy thing.
This was triggered by the recent addition of SPDX lines to the source
tree, where people apparently were confused about why header files
couldn't use the C++ comment format.

Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH:
"License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files
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.

linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
uapi/linux/types.h -> uapi/linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h
-> uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
offsetof.
Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
such as:
In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
>> include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
^
A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
(e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.
This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().
uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.

Pull input fix from Dmitry Torokhov:
"A fix for a broken commit in the previous pull breaking automatic
module loading of input handlers, such ad evdev"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input:
Input: do not use property bits when generating module alias
|
|
The commit 8724ecb07229 ("Input: allow matching device IDs on property
bits") started using property bits when generating module aliases for input
handlers, but did not adjust the generation of MODALIAS attribute on input
device uevents, breaking automatic module loading. Given that no handler
currently uses property bits in their module tables, let's revert this part
of the commit for now.

gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with
'-frecord-gcc-switches'. In most cases, those symbols are reported with
nm as
000000000000000e n $d
and with objdump as
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d
Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored.
However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the
situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are
built with
'--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'.
In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported
by nm as:
000000000000000e n __efistub_$d
and by objdump as:
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d
Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address
calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which
in turn causes kallsyms to abort with
kallsyms failure:
relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode
The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI
enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.
Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug
symbols.

The kbuild bot occasionally reports warnings like:

These warnings are always with GCC 4.4. That version of GCC sometimes
places unreachable instructions after calls to noreturn functions.
The unreachable warnings aren't very important anyway. Just ignore them

The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the
.version file.
However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file.
So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION
always indicates #1. This does not match with "rpm -q".
The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either.
Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is
created. Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion. This script returns an
incremented version. So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is
greater than the version in the kernel by one.
For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can
give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command.
For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file
because it contains the version number that was used for building the
kernel image.
We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need
not touch the .version file.

Pull firmware removal from Greg KH:
"Many many years ago (at the kernel summit in Boston), we all came to
the agreement that the firmware/ tree should be dropped from the
kernel, and everyone use the linux-firmware package instead. For some
minor reason, David Woodhouse didn't send the pull request at that
point in time, and everyone forgot about this.
The topic came up in the hallway track at the Plumbers conference this
week, so here's a single patch that drops the whole firmware tree. The
last firmware update was back in 2013, and all distros have been using
linux-firmware instead since at least that year, if not before. The
only commits to that directory since 2013 was some kbuild fixups for
various build tool issues.
So lets finally drop this, we don't need to lug them around in the
kernel source tree anymore, especially as no one wants or uses them.
This has passed build testing with 0-day, I don't think it made it
into linux-next this week, but I figured it was good to get in before
4.14-rc1 was out"

Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING
are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in
list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the
output of --list-types.
Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are
passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too.
So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

I had stupidly missed one special use of 'is_reserved_word()' when I
converted the code to avoid gperf.
I had changed that function to return the token ID directly rather than
a pointer to the token descriptor structure, but that meant that the
test for "is this a reserved word" changed from checking the return
value against NULL, to checking that it wasn't negative.
And while I had converted the main token parser over, I missed the
special case of the typeof phrase handling. And since our dependency
chain for genksyms does not include the genksyms program itself
changing, my kernel rebuild didn't show the problem.

Only the media PDF book was requiring adjustbox, in order to
scale big tables. That worked pretty good with Sphinx versions
1.4 and 1.5, but Spinx 1.6 changed the way tables are produced,
by introducing some weird macros before tabulary.
That causes adjustbox to fail. So, it can't be used anymore,
and its usage was removed from the media book.
So, let's remove it from conf.py and sphinx-pre-install.

Remove our use of 'gperf' for generating perfect hashes from some of our
build tools.
This removal was prompted by Masahiro Yamada sending out a patch that
removes all our pre-generated files, and when I tested it, I noticed
that the gperf version I have (3.1) apparently generates code that no
longer works with out code-base because the function interfaces
generated by gperf have changed.
We really don't care that much, and the gperf people changed their
interfaces in ways that makes it annoying to work with them. Tools that
make it hard to use them should not be used, and the kernel is not at
all interested in some autoconf mess. So remove the gperf dependency
entirely.
It turns out that if you ignore the pre-generated files, the use of
gperf apparently saved us a whopping fifteen lines of code. It
obviously wasn't worth it, considering that the pre-generated files are
about 500 lines.
I sent this out as a patch about three weeks ago, and got absolutely
zero responses. So let's see if anybody notices now that I merge it.
Because there might be serious bugs here, but it WorksForMe(tm).
