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.

HD-audio driver uses regmap cache bypass feature for reading a raw
value without the cache. But this is racy since both the cached and
the uncached reads may occur concurrently. The former is done via the
normal control API access while the latter comes from the proc file
read.
Even though the regmap itself has the protection against the
concurrent accesses, the flag set/reset is done without the
protection, so it may lead to inconsistent state of bypass flag that
doesn't match with the current read and occasionally result in a
kernel WARNING like:
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2731 at drivers/base/regmap/regcache.c:499 regcache_cache_only+0x78/0x93
One way to work around such a problem is to wrap with a mutex. But in
this case, the solution is simpler: for the uncached read, we just
skip the regmap and directly calls its accessor. The verb execution
there is protected by itself, so basically it's safe to call
individually.

Yet another regression by the transition to regmap cache; for better
usability, we had the fake mute control using the zero amp value for
Conexant codecs, and this was forgotten in the new hda core code.
Since the bits 4-7 are unused for the amp registers (as we follow the
syntax of AMP_GET verb), the bit 4 is now used to indicate the fake
mute. For setting this flag, snd_hda_codec_amp_update() becomes a
function from a simple macro. The bonus is that it gained a proper
function description.

So far we assumed that the node attributes like amp values remain
during the power state transition of the node itself. While this is
true for IDT/STAC codecs I've tested, but some other codecs don't seem
behaving in that way.
This patch implements a partial sync mechanism specific to the given
widget node. Now we've merged the regmap support, and it can be
easily written with regcache_sync_region().

HD-audio spec is inconvenient regarding the handling of stereo volume
controls. It can set and get only single channel at once (although
there is a special option to set the same value to both channels).
This patch provides a fake pseudo-register via the regmap access so
that the stereo channels can be read and written by a single call.
It'd be useful, for example, for implementing DAPM widgets.
A stereo amp pseudo register consists of the encoding like the normal
amp verbs but it has both SET_LEFT (bit 13) and SET_RIGHT (bit 12)
bits set. The regmap reads and writes a 16bit value for this pseudo
register where the upper 8bit is for the right chanel and the lower
8bit for the left channel.
Note that the driver doesn't recognize conflicts when both stereo and
mono channel registers are mixed. Mixing them would certainly confuse
the operation. So, use carefully.

Codecs may have own vendor-specific verbs, and we need to allow each
driver to give such verbs for cached accesses. Here a verb can be put
into a single array and looked through it at readable and writeable
callbacks.

This patch adds an infrastructure to support regmap-based verb
accesses. Because o the asymmetric nature of HD-audio verbs,
especially the amp verbs, we need to translate the verbs as a sort of
pseudo registers to be mapped uniquely in regmap.
In this patch, a pseudo register is built from the NID, the
AC_VERB_GET_* and 8bit parameters, i.e. almost in the form to be sent
to HD-audio bus but without codec address field. OTOH, for writing,
the same pseudo register is translated to AC_VERB_SET_* automatically.
The AC_VERB_SET_AMP_* verb is re-encoded from the corresponding
AC_VERB_GET_AMP_* verb and parameter at writing.
Some verbs has a single command for read but multiple for writes. A
write for such a verb is split automatically to multiple verbs.
The patch provides also a few handy helper functions. They are
designed to be accessible even without regmap. When no regmap is set
up (e.g. before the codec device instantiation), the direct hardware
access is used. Also, it tries to avoid the unnecessary power-up.
The power up/down sequence is performed only on demand.
The codec driver needs to call snd_hdac_regmap_exit() and
snd_hdac_regmap_exit() at probe and remove if it wants the regmap
access.
There is one flag added to hdac_device. When the flag lazy_cache is
set, regmap helper ignores a write for a suspended device and returns
as if it was actually written. It reduces the hardware access pretty
much, e.g. when adjusting the mixer volume while in idle. This
assumes that the driver will sync the cache later at resume properly,
so use it carefully.
