<id>urn:sha1:78c98f9074135d3dab4e39544e0a537f92388fce</id>
<content type='text'>
Rework the dump_trace() stack unwinder interface to support different
unwinding algorithms. The new interface looks like this:

	struct unwind_state state;
	unwind_for_each_frame(&amp;state, task, regs, start_stack)
		do_something(state.sp, state.ip, state.reliable);

The unwind_bc.c file contains the implementation for the classic
back-chain unwinder.

One positive side effect of the new code is it now handles ftraced
functions gracefully. It prints the real name of the return function
instead of 'return_to_handler'.

The patch implements a handler for GIB alert interruptions
on the host. Its task is to alert guests that interrupts are
pending for them.

A GIB alert interrupt statistic counter is added as well:

$ cat /proc/interrupts
          CPU0       CPU1
  ...
  GAL:      23         37   [I/O] GIB Alert

<content type='text'>
Remove STACK_ORDER and STACK_SIZE in favour of identical THREAD_SIZE_ORDER
and THREAD_SIZE definitions. THREAD_SIZE and THREAD_SIZE_ORDER naming is
misleading since it is used as general kernel stack size information. But
both those definitions are used in the common code and throughout
architectures specific code, so changing the naming is problematic.

<title>s390: add support for virtually mapped kernel stacks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ce3dc447493ff4186b192b38d723ab5e8c1eb52f</id>
<content type='text'>
With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.

The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)

In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<title>s390/time: add support for the TOD clock epoch extension</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6e2ef5e4f6cc57344762932d70d38ba4ec65fa8b</id>
<content type='text'>
The TOD epoch extension adds 8 epoch bits to the TOD clock to provide
a continuous clock after 2042/09/17. The store-clock-extended (STCKE)
instruction will store the epoch index in the first byte of the
16 bytes stored by the instruction. The read_boot_clock64 and the
read_presistent_clock64 functions need to take the additional bits
into account to give the correct result after 2042/09/17.

The clock-comparator register will stay 64 bit wide. The comparison
of the clock-comparator with the TOD clock is limited to bytes
1 to 8 of the extended TOD format. To deal with the overflow problem
due to an epoch change the clock-comparator sign control in CR0 can
be used to switch the comparison of the 64-bit TOD clock with the
clock-comparator to a signed comparison.

The decision between the signed vs. unsigned clock-comparator
comparisons is done at boot time. Only if the TOD clock is in the
second half of a 142 year epoch the signed comparison is used.
This solves the epoch overflow issue as long as the machine is
booted at least once in an epoch.
