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.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
kernel by about 70K.
Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
are configured, ACPI is used.
The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
<https://01.org/linux-acpi>
Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
ACPI CA, see:
<http://acpica.org/>
ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently,
it is developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under
the UEFI Forum and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute
to the ACPI specification.
The specification is available at:

ACPI: move arm64 GSI IRQ model to generic GSI IRQ layer The code deployed to implement GSI linux IRQ numbers mapping on arm64 turns out to be generic enough so that it can be moved to ACPI core code along with its respective config option ACPI_GENERIC_GSI selectable on architectures that can reuse the same code. Current ACPI IRQ mapping code is not integrated in the kernel IRQ domain infrastructure, in particular there is no way to look-up the IRQ domain associated with a particular interrupt controller, so this first version of GSI generic code carries out the GSI<->IRQ mapping relying on the IRQ default domain which is supposed to be always set on a specific architecture in case the domain structure passed to irq_create/find_mapping() functions is missing. This patch moves the arm64 acpi functions that implement the gsi mappings: acpi_gsi_to_irq() acpi_register_gsi() acpi_unregister_gsi() to ACPI core code. Since the generic GSI<->domain mapping is based on IRQ domains, it can be extended as soon as a way to map an interrupt controller to an IRQ domain is implemented for ACPI in the IRQ domain layer. x86 and ia64 code for GSI mappings cannot rely on the generic GSI layer at present for legacy reasons, so they do not select the ACPI_GENERIC_GSI config options and keep relying on their arch specific GSI mapping layer.

ACPI / LPIT: Add Low Power Idle Table (LPIT) support Add functionality to read LPIT table, which provides: - Sysfs interface to read residency counters via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_system_residency_us Here the count "low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us" shows the time spent by CPU package in low power state. This is read via MSR interface, which points to MSR for PKG C10. Here the count "low_power_idle_system_residency_us" show the count the system was in low power state. This is read via MMIO interface. This is mapped to SLP_S0 residency on modern Intel systems. This residency is achieved only when CPU is in PKG C10 and all functional blocks are in low power state. It is possible that none of the above counters present or anyone of the counter present or all counters present. For example: On my Kabylake system both of the above counters present. After suspend to idle these counts updated and prints: 6916179 6998564 This counter can be read by tools like turbostat to display. Or it can be used to debug, if modern systems are reaching desired low power state. - Provides an interface to read residency counter memory address This address can be used to get the base address of PMC memory mapped IO. This is utilized by intel_pmc_core driver to print more debug information. In addition, to avoid code duplication to read iomem, removed the read of iomem from acpi_os_read_memory() in osl.c and made a common function acpi_os_read_iomem(). This new function is used for reading iomem in in both osl.c and acpi_lpit.c.

The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as

For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision,
Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA
mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux
until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user
space).
This option enables a DMI-based quirk for the above Dell machine (so
that HDA audio is exposed by the platform firmware to the kernel) and
makes it possible to force the kernel to return "5" as the supported
ACPI revision via the "acpi_rev_override" command line switch.

The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI

Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers

ACPI: create Processor Aggregator Device driver ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy processors to enter (power saving) idle. The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out transient electrical and thermal emergencies, rather than powering off the server. On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states, the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle. However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know or care about it. This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism because after the transient emergency is over, the system must be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently break both cpusets and binding. So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread. The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU. The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy, so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will invoke the deep C-state entry instructions. To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle, the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other, which makes the mechanism not work here) Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements to allow injecting idle time into the system. This driver doesn't depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them when they are available. Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until the those scheduler enhancements are in place. However, we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful now, and can be enhanced over time.

processors in the platform. Currently only logical processor idling
is defined, which is to reduce power consumption. This driver
supports the new device.
ACPI: create Processor Aggregator Device driver ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy processors to enter (power saving) idle. The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out transient electrical and thermal emergencies, rather than powering off the server. On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states, the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle. However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know or care about it. This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism because after the transient emergency is over, the system must be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently break both cpusets and binding. So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread. The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU. The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy, so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will invoke the deep C-state entry instructions. To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle, the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other, which makes the mechanism not work here) Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements to allow injecting idle time into the system. This driver doesn't depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them when they are available.

ACPI / tables: Convert initrd table override to table upgrade mechanism This patch converts the initrd table override mechanism to the table upgrade mechanism by restricting its usage to the tables released with compatibility and more recent revision. This use case has been encouraged by the ACPI specification: 1. OEMID: An OEM-supplied string that identifies the OEM. 2. OEM Table ID: An OEM-supplied string that the OEM uses to identify the particular data table. This field is particularly useful when defining a definition block to distinguish definition block functions. OEM assigns each dissimilar table a new OEM Table Id. 3. OEM Revision: An OEM-supplied revision number. Larger numbers are assumed to be newer revisions. For OEMs, good practices will ensure consistency when assigning OEMID and OEM Table ID fields in any table. The intent of these fields is to allow for a binary control system that support services can use. Because many support function can be automated, it is useful when a tool can programatically determine which table release is a compatible and more recent revision of a prior table on the same OEMID and OEM Table ID. The facility can now be used by the vendors to upgrade wrong tables for bug fixing purpose, thus lockdep disabling taint is not suitable for it and it should be a default 'y' option to implement the spec encouraged use case. Note that, by implementing table upgrade inside of ACPICA itself, it is possible to remove acpi_table_initrd_override() and tables can be upgraded by acpi_install_table() automatically. Though current ACPICA impelentation hasn't implemented this, this patched changes the table flag setting timing to allow this to be implemented in ACPICA without changing the code here.
