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.

With the GPMC warnings now enabled, I noticed the LAN9220 timings
can overflow the GPMC registers with 200MHz L3 speed. Earlier we
were just skipping the bad timings and would continue with the
bootloader timings. Now we no longer allow to continue with bad
timings as we have the timings in the .dts files.
We could start using the GPMC clock divider, but let's instead
use the u-boot timings that are known to be working and a bit
faster. These are basically the u-boot NET_GPMC_CONFIG[1-6]
defines deciphered. Except that we don't set gpmc,burst-length
as that's only partially configured and does not seem to work
if fully enabled.

I've noticed occasional random oopsing on my gateway
machine since I upgraded it to use device tree based
booting. As this machine has worked reliably before
that for a few years, pretty much the only difference
was narrowed down to the GPMC timings. Turns out that
for legacy based booting we are using bootloader timings
for GPMC for smsc911x. With device tree we are passing
the timings in the .dts file, and the device tree
timings are not quite suitable for LAN9920.
Enabling DEBUG in gpmc.c I noticed that the device tree
configured timings are different from the the known
working bootloader timings. So let's fix the timings to
match the bootloader timings when looked at the gpmc
dmesg output with DEBUG enabled.
The changes were done by multiplying the bootloader
tick values by six to get the nanosecond value for
device tree. This is not generic from the device point
of view as the calculations should be based on the device
timings. Anyways, further improvments can be done based
on the timings documentation for LAN9220. But let's first
get things to a known good working state.
Note that we still need to change the timings also for
sb-t35 also as it has two LAN9220 instances on GPMC and
we can currently include the generic timings only once.
Also note that any boards that have LAN9221 instead of
LAN9220 should be updated to use omap-gpmc-smsc9221.dtsi
instead of omap-gpmc-smsc911x.dtsi. The LAN9221 timings
are different from LAN9220 timings.

drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smsc911x.c is expecting supplies named
"vdd33a" and "vddvario". Currently the shared DTS file provides
"vmmc" and "vmmc_aux", and the supply lookup will fail:
smsc911x 2c000000.ethernet: Looking up vdd33a-supply from device tree
smsc911x 2c000000.ethernet: Looking up vdd33a-supply property in node /ocp/gpmc@6e000000/ethernet@gpmc failed
smsc911x 2c000000.ethernet: Looking up vddvario-supply from device tree
smsc911x 2c000000.ethernet: Looking up vddvario-supply property in node /ocp/gpmc@6e000000/ethernet@gpmc failed
Fix it!
Looks like commmit 6b2978ac40 (ARM: dts: Shared file for omap GPMC
connected smsc911x) made the problem more visible by moving the smc911x
configuration from the omap3-igep0020.dts file to the generic file.
But it seems we've had this problem since commit d72b441501
(ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: Add SMSC911x LAN chip support).
Tested on OMAP3 Overo platform.
