Andy Shevchenko 22c033989c include/linux/unaligned: replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency hell,
especially when there are circular dependencies are involved.

Replace kernel.h inclusion with the list of what is really being used.

The rest of the changes are induced by the above and may not be split.

Arnd Bergmann 803f4e1eab asm-generic: simplify asm/unaligned.h
The get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() implementations are much more complex
than necessary, now that all architectures use the same code.

Move everything into one file and use a much more compact way to express
the same logic.

I've compared the binary output using gcc-11 across defconfig builds for
all architectures and found this patch to make no difference, except for
a single function on powerpc that needs two additional register moves
because of random differences in register allocation.

There are a handful of callers of the low-level __get_unaligned_cpu32,
so leave that in place for the time being even though the common code
no longer uses it.

This adds a warning for any caller of get_unaligned()/put_unaligned()
that passes in a single-byte pointer, but I've sent patches for all
instances that show up in x86 and randconfig builds. It would be nice
to change the arguments of the endian-specific accessors to take the
matching __be16/__be32/__be64/__le16/__le32/__le64 arguments instead of
a void pointer, but that requires more changes to the rest of the kernel.

This new version does allow aggregate types into get_unaligned(), which
was not the original goal but might come in handy.

Arnd Bergmann 778aaefb8e asm-generic: unaligned always use struct helpers
As found by Vineet Gupta and Linus Torvalds, gcc has somewhat unexpected
behavior when faced with overlapping unaligned pointers. The kernel's
unaligned/access-ok.h header technically invokes undefined behavior
that happens to usually work on the architectures using it, but if the
compiler optimizes code based on the assumption that undefined behavior
doesn't happen, it can create output that actually causes data corruption.

A related problem was previously found on 32-bit ARMv7, where most
instructions can be used on unaligned data, but 64-bit ldrd/strd causes
an exception. The workaround was to always use the unaligned/le_struct.h
helper instead of unaligned/access-ok.h, in commit 1cce91dfc8 ("ARM:
8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h").

The same solution should work on all other architectures as well, so
remove the access-ok.h variant and use the other one unconditionally on
all architectures, picking either the big-endian or little-endian version.

With this, the arm specific header can be removed as well, and the
only file including linux/unaligned/access_ok.h gets moved to including
the normal file.

Fortunately, this made almost no difference to the object code produced
by gcc-11. On x86, s390, powerpc, and arc, the resulting binary appears
to be identical to the previous version, while on arm64 and m68k there
are minimal differences that looks like an optimization pass went into
a different direction, usually using fewer stack spills on the new
version.

Arnd Bergmann 0652035a57 asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpers
In theory, compilers should be able to work this out themselves so we
can use a simpler version based on the swab() helpers.

I have verified that this works on all supported compiler versions
(gcc-4.9 and up, clang-10 and up). Looking at the object code produced by
gcc-11, I found that the impact is mostly a change in inlining decisions
that lead to slightly larger code.

In other cases, this version produces explicit byte swaps in place of
separate byte access, or comparing against pre-swapped constants.

While the source code is clearly simpler, I have not seen an indication
of the new version actually producing better code on Arm, so maybe
we want to skip this after all. From what I can tell, gcc recognizes
the byteswap pattern in the byteshift.h header and can turn it into
explicit instructions, but it does not turn a __builtin_bswap32() back
into individual bytes when that would result in better output, e.g.
when storing a byte-reversed constant.

Arnd Bergmann bf067edf5d openrisc: always use unaligned-struct header
openrisc is the only architecture using the linux/unaligned/*memmove
infrastructure. There is a comment saying that this version is more
efficient, but this was added in 2011 before the openrisc gcc port
was merged upstream.

I checked a couple of files to see what the actual difference is with
the mainline gcc (9.4 and 11.1), and found that the generic header
seems to produce better code now, regardless of the gcc version.

Specifically, the be_memmove leads to allocating a stack slot and
copying the data one byte at a time, then reading the whole word
from the stack:

00000000 <test_get_unaligned_memmove>:
   0:	9c 21 ff f4 	l.addi r1,r1,-12
   4:	d4 01 10 04 	l.sw 4(r1),r2
   8:	8e 63 00 00 	l.lbz r19,0(r3)
   c:	9c 41 00 0c 	l.addi r2,r1,12
  10:	8e 23 00 01 	l.lbz r17,1(r3)
  14:	db e2 9f f4 	l.sb -12(r2),r19
  18:	db e2 8f f5 	l.sb -11(r2),r17
  1c:	8e 63 00 02 	l.lbz r19,2(r3)
  20:	8e 23 00 03 	l.lbz r17,3(r3)
  24:	d4 01 48 08 	l.sw 8(r1),r9
  28:	db e2 9f f6 	l.sb -10(r2),r19
  2c:	db e2 8f f7 	l.sb -9(r2),r17
  30:	85 62 ff f4 	l.lwz r11,-12(r2)
  34:	85 21 00 08 	l.lwz r9,8(r1)
  38:	84 41 00 04 	l.lwz r2,4(r1)
  3c:	44 00 48 00 	l.jr r9
  40:	9c 21 00 0c 	l.addi r1,r1,12

while the be_struct version reads each byte into a register
and does a shift to the right position:

00000000 <test_get_unaligned_struct>:
   0:	9c 21 ff f8 	l.addi r1,r1,-8
   4:	8e 63 00 00 	l.lbz r19,0(r3)
   8:	aa 20 00 18 	l.ori r17,r0,0x18

  20:	8e 23 00 02 	l.lbz r17,2(r3)
  24:	aa 60 00 08 	l.ori r19,r0,0x8
  28:	e2 31 98 08 	l.sll r17,r17,r19
  2c:	d4 01 10 00 	l.sw 0(r1),r2
  30:	d4 01 48 04 	l.sw 4(r1),r9
  34:	9c 41 00 08 	l.addi r2,r1,8
  38:	e2 31 58 04 	l.or r17,r17,r11
  3c:	8d 63 00 03 	l.lbz r11,3(r3)
  40:	e1 6b 88 04 	l.or r11,r11,r17
  44:	84 41 00 00 	l.lwz r2,0(r1)
  48:	85 21 00 04 	l.lwz r9,4(r1)
  4c:	44 00 48 00 	l.jr r9
  50:	9c 21 00 08 	l.addi r1,r1,8

According to Stafford Horne, the new version should in fact perform
better.

In the trivial example, the struct version is a few instructions longer,
but building a whole kernel shows an overall reduction in code size,
presumably because it now has to manage fewer stack slots:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4792010	 181480	  82324	5055814	 4d2546	vmlinux-unaligned-memmove
4790642	 181480	  82324	5054446	 4d1fee	vmlinux-unaligned-struct

Remove the memmove version completely and let openrisc use the same
code as everyone else, as a simplification.

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.

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.

It only affects arches with efficient unaligned access insns, such as x86.
(arched which lack such ops do not include linux/unaligned/access_ok.h)

Code size decrease after the patch is ~8.5k:

Will Newton 4e06fd14d5 include/linux/unaligned: pack the whole struct rather than just the field
The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the
packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than
to the struct as a whole.  This is not sufficient to enforce proper
behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than
one byte.

For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when
compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the
struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed
field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary:

__get_unaligned_cpu16:
        ldrh    r0, [r0, #0]
        bx      lr

Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the
proper unaligned access code to be generated:

__get_unaligned_cpu16:
	ldrb	r3, [r0, #0]	@ zero_extendqisi2
	ldrb	r0, [r0, #1]	@ zero_extendqisi2
	orr	r0, r3, r0, asl #8
	bx	lr

Albin Tonnerre 2fa4341074 include/linux/unaligned/{l,b}e_byteshift.h: fix usage for compressed kernels
When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as
for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.

linux/kernel.h brings at least:
extern int console_printk[];
extern const char hex_asc[];
which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when
compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `valid_user_regs':
   arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h:158: undefined reference to `elf_hwcap'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_silent':
   include/linux/kernel.h:292: undefined reference to `console_printk'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_verbose':
   include/linux/kernel.h:297: undefined reference to `console_printk'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `pack_hex_byte':
   include/linux/kernel.h:360: undefined reference to `hex_asc'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `hweight_long':
   include/linux/bitops.h:45: undefined reference to `hweight32'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic':
   include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:21: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
   include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:42: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__xchg':
   arch/arm/include/asm/system.h:309: undefined reference to `__bad_xchg'

However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all
they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so
<linux/types.h> should be enough

Harvey Harrison 064106a91b kernel: add common infrastructure for unaligned access
Create a linux/unaligned directory similar in spirit to the linux/byteorder
folder to hold generic implementations collected from various arches.

Currently there are five implementations:
1) packed_struct.h: C-struct based, from asm-generic/unaligned.h
2) le_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
3) be_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
4) memmove.h: taken from multiple implementations in tree
5) access_ok.h: taken from x86 and others, unaligned access is ok.

All of the new implementations checks for sizes not equal to 1,2,4,8
and will fail to link.

API additions:

get_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(p) which is meant to replace
code of the form:
le16_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le16 *)p));

put_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(val, pointer) which is meant to
replace code of the form:
put_unaligned(cpu_to_le16(val), (__le16 *)p);

The headers that arches should include from their asm/unaligned.h:

access_ok.h : Wrappers of the byteswapping functions in asm/byteorder

Choose a particular implementation for little-endian access:
le_byteshift.h
le_memmove.h (arch must be LE)
le_struct.h (arch must be LE)

Choose a particular implementation for big-endian access:
be_byteshift.h
be_memmove.h (arch must be BE)
be_struct.h (arch must be BE)

After including as needed from the above, include unaligned/generic.h and
define your arch's get/put_unaligned as (for LE):
