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.

chardev: Avoid potential use-after-free in 'chrdev_open()' 'chrdev_open()' calls 'cdev_get()' to obtain a reference to the 'struct cdev *' stashed in the 'i_cdev' field of the target inode structure. If the pointer is NULL, then it is initialised lazily by looking up the kobject in the 'cdev_map' and so the whole procedure is protected by the 'cdev_lock' spinlock to serialise initialisation of the shared pointer. Unfortunately, it is possible for the initialising thread to fail *after* installing the new pointer, for example if the subsequent '->open()' call on the file fails. In this case, 'cdev_put()' is called, the reference count on the kobject is dropped and, if nobody else has taken a reference, the release function is called which finally clears 'inode->i_cdev' from 'cdev_purge()' before potentially freeing the object. The problem here is that a racing thread can happily take the 'cdev_lock' and see the non-NULL pointer in the inode, which can result in a refcount increment from zero and a warning: | ------------[ cut here ]------------ | refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. | WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 6385 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf0 | Modules linked in: | CPU: 2 PID: 6385 Comm: repro Not tainted 5.5.0-rc2+ #22 | Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 | RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x6d/0xf0 | Code: 05 55 9a 15 01 01 e8 9d aa c8 ff 0f 0b c3 80 3d 45 9a 15 01 00 75 ce 48 c7 c7 00 9c 62 b3 c6 08 | RSP: 0018:ffffb524c1b9bc70 EFLAGS: 00010282 | RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff9e9da1f71390 RCX: 0000000000000000 | RDX: ffff9e9dbbd27618 RSI: ffff9e9dbbd18798 RDI: ffff9e9dbbd18798 | RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 000000000000095f R09: 0000000000000039 | R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffb524c1b9bb20 R12: ffff9e9da1e8c700 | R13: ffffffffb25ee8b0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff9e9da1e8c700 | FS: 00007f3b87d26700(0000) GS:ffff9e9dbbd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 | CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 | CR2: 00007fc16909c000 CR3: 000000012df9c000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 | DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 | DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 | Call Trace: | kobject_get+0x5c/0x60 | cdev_get+0x2b/0x60 | chrdev_open+0x55/0x220 | ? cdev_put.part.3+0x20/0x20 | do_dentry_open+0x13a/0x390 | path_openat+0x2c8/0x1470 | do_filp_open+0x93/0x100 | ? selinux_file_ioctl+0x17f/0x220 | do_sys_open+0x186/0x220 | do_syscall_64+0x48/0x150 | entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 | RIP: 0033:0x7f3b87efcd0e | Code: 89 54 24 08 e8 a3 f4 ff ff 8b 74 24 0c 48 8b 3c 24 41 89 c0 44 8b 54 24 08 b8 01 01 00 00 89 f4 | RSP: 002b:00007f3b87d259f0 EFLAGS: 00000293 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000101 | RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00007f3b87efcd0e | RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00007f3b87d25a80 RDI: 00000000ffffff9c | RBP: 00007f3b87d25e90 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 | R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000293 R12: 00007ffe188f504e | R13: 00007ffe188f504f R14: 00007f3b87d26700 R15: 0000000000000000 | ---[ end trace 24f53ca58db8180a ]--- Since 'cdev_get()' can already fail to obtain a reference, simply move it over to use 'kobject_get_unless_zero()' instead of 'kobject_get()', which will cause the racing thread to return -ENXIO if the initialising thread fails unexpectedly.

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

chardev: add helper function to register char devs with a struct device Credit for this patch goes is shared with Dan Williams [1]. I've taken things one step further to make the helper function more useful and clean up calling code. There's a common pattern in the kernel whereby a struct cdev is placed in a structure along side a struct device which manages the life-cycle of both. In the naive approach, the reference counting is broken and the struct device can free everything before the chardev code is entirely released. Many developers have solved this problem by linking the internal kobjs in this fashion: cdev.kobj.parent = &parent_dev.kobj; The cdev code explicitly gets and puts a reference to it's kobj parent. So this seems like it was intended to be used this way. Dmitrty Torokhov first put this in place in 2012 with this commit: 2f0157f char_dev: pin parent kobject and the first instance of the fix was then done in the input subsystem in the following commit: 4a215aa Input: fix use-after-free introduced with dynamic minor changes Subsequently over the years, however, this issue seems to have tripped up multiple developers independently. For example, see these commits: 0d5b7da iio: Prevent race between IIO chardev opening and IIO device (by Lars-Peter Clausen in 2013) ba0ef85 tpm: Fix initialization of the cdev (by Jason Gunthorpe in 2015) 5b28dde [media] media: fix use-after-free in cdev_put() when app exits after driver unbind (by Shauh Khan in 2016) This technique is similarly done in at least 15 places within the kernel and probably should have been done so in another, at least, 5 places. The kobj line also looks very suspect in that one would not expect drivers to have to mess with kobject internals in this way. Even highly experienced kernel developers can be surprised by this code, as seen in [2]. To help alleviate this situation, and hopefully prevent future wasted effort on this problem, this patch introduces a helper function to register a char device along with its parent struct device. This creates a more regular API for tying a char device to its parent without the developer having to set members in the underlying kobject. This patch introduce cdev_device_add and cdev_device_del which replaces a common pattern including setting the kobj parent, calling cdev_add and then calling device_add. It also introduces cdev_set_parent for the few cases that set the kobject parent without using device_add.

chardev: add helper function to register char devs with a struct device Credit for this patch goes is shared with Dan Williams [1]. I've taken things one step further to make the helper function more useful and clean up calling code. There's a common pattern in the kernel whereby a struct cdev is placed in a structure along side a struct device which manages the life-cycle of both. In the naive approach, the reference counting is broken and the struct device can free everything before the chardev code is entirely released. Many developers have solved this problem by linking the internal kobjs in this fashion: cdev.kobj.parent = &parent_dev.kobj; The cdev code explicitly gets and puts a reference to it's kobj parent. So this seems like it was intended to be used this way. Dmitrty Torokhov first put this in place in 2012 with this commit: 2f0157f char_dev: pin parent kobject and the first instance of the fix was then done in the input subsystem in the following commit: 4a215aa Input: fix use-after-free introduced with dynamic minor changes Subsequently over the years, however, this issue seems to have tripped up multiple developers independently. For example, see these commits: 0d5b7da iio: Prevent race between IIO chardev opening and IIO device (by Lars-Peter Clausen in 2013) ba0ef85 tpm: Fix initialization of the cdev (by Jason Gunthorpe in 2015) 5b28dde [media] media: fix use-after-free in cdev_put() when app exits after driver unbind (by Shauh Khan in 2016) This technique is similarly done in at least 15 places within the kernel and probably should have been done so in another, at least, 5 places. The kobj line also looks very suspect in that one would not expect drivers to have to mess with kobject internals in this way. Even highly experienced kernel developers can be surprised by this code, as seen in [2]. To help alleviate this situation, and hopefully prevent future wasted effort on this problem, this patch introduces a helper function to register a char device along with its parent struct device. This creates a more regular API for tying a char device to its parent without the developer having to set members in the underlying kobject. This patch introduce cdev_device_add and cdev_device_del which replaces a common pattern including setting the kobj parent, calling cdev_add and then calling device_add. It also introduces cdev_set_parent for the few cases that set the kobject parent without using device_add.
