2022-09-29Revert "kbuild: Make scripts/compile.h when sh != bash"Masahiro Yamada
This reverts commit [1] in the pre-git era. I do not know what problem happened in the script when sh != bash because there is no commit message. Now that this script is much simpler than it used to be, let's revert it, and let' see. (If this turns out to be problematic, fix the code with proper commit description.)

2022-09-29scripts/mkcompile_h: move LC_ALL=C to '$LD -v'Masahiro Yamada
Minimize the scope of LC_ALL=C like before commit 87c94bfb8ad3 ("kbuild: override build timestamp & version"). Give LC_ALL=C to '$LD -v' to get the consistent version output, as commit bcbcf50f5218 ("kbuild: fix ld-version.sh to not be affected by locale") mentioned the LD version is affected by locale. While I was here, I merged two sed invocations. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2022-09-29kbuild: build init/built-in.a just onceMasahiro Yamada
Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise, vmlinux would be rebuilt every time. When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that time to really fix UTS_VERSION. However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not need rebuilding. To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows: [1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from include/generated/compile.h include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION. [2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c from init/version.c init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link, they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and timestamp. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2022-03-11sched/preempt: Tell about PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on kernel headersFrederic Weisbecker
Displaying "PREEMPT" on kernel headers when CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y can be misleading for anybody involved in remote debugging because it is then not guaranteed that there is an actual preemption behaviour. It depends on default Kconfig or boot defined choices. Therefore, tell about PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on static kernel headers and leave the search for the actual preemption behaviour to browsing dmesg.

2021-06-17kbuild: mkcompile_h: consider timestamp if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is setMatthias Maennich
To avoid unnecessary recompilations, mkcompile_h does not regenerate compile.h if just the timestamp changed. Though, if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is set, an explicit timestamp for the build was requested, in which case we should not ignore it. If a user follows the documentation for reproducible builds [1] and defines KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP as the git commit timestamp, a clean build will have the correct timestamp. A subsequent cherry-pick (or amend) changes the commit timestamp and if an incremental build is done with a different KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP now, that new value is not taken into consideration. But it should for reproducibility. Hence, whenever KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is explicitly set, do not ignore UTS_VERSION when making a decision about whether the regenerated version of compile.h should be moved into place.

2021-05-27kbuild: clean up ${quiet} checks in shell scriptsMasahiro Yamada
There were efforts to make 'make -s' really silent when it is a warning-free build. The conventional way was to let a shell script check ${quiet}, and if it is 'silent_', suppress the stdout by itself. With the previous commit, the 'cmd' takes care of it now. The 'cmd' is also invoked from if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule. You can omit ${quiet} checks in shell scripts when they are invoked from the 'cmd' macro.

2020-10-21kbuild: Use uname for LINUX_COMPILE_HOST detectionChris Down
`hostname` may not be present on some systems as it's not mandated by POSIX/SUSv4. This isn't just a theoretical problem: on Arch Linux, `hostname` is provided by `inetutils`, which isn't part of the base distribution. ./scripts/mkcompile_h: line 38: hostname: command not found Use `uname -n` instead, which is more likely to be available (and mandated by standards).

I do not think it is a big deal as we do not have the defined format for LINUX_COMPILER.

2019-12-14mkcompile_h: use printf for LINUX_COMPILE_BYMasahiro Yamada
Commit 858805b336be ("kbuild: add $(BASH) to run scripts with bash-extension") shed light on portability issues. Here is another one. Since commit f07726048d59 ("Fix handling of backlash character in LINUX_COMPILE_BY name"), we must escape a backslash contained in LINUX_COMPILE_BY. This is not working on such distros as Ubuntu. As the POSIX spec [1] says, if any of the operands contain a backslash ( '\' ) character, the results are implementation-defined. The actual shell of /bin/sh could be bash, dash, etc. depending on distros, and the behavior of builtin echo command is different among them. The bash builtin echo, unless -e is given, copies the arguments to stdout without expanding escape sequences (BSD-like behavior). The dash builtin echo, in contrast, adopts System V behavior, which does expand escape sequences without any option given. Even non-builtin /bin/echo behaves differently depending on the system. Due to these variations, echo is considered as a non-portable command. Using printf is the common solution to avoid the portability issue.

2019-12-14mkcompile_h: git rid of UTS_TRUNCATE from LINUX_COMPILE_{BY,HOST}Masahiro Yamada
UTS_VERSION is set to struct uts_namespace, hence a too long string should be truncated so it fits in 64 characters. On the other hand, LINUX_COMPILE_BY/HOST are not set to uts_namespace. They are just used in the banners, which do not have specific length limitation. I dug into the git history, but I could not find the reason why these two strings must fit in 64 characters. Remove them. Now that UTS_VERSION is the only user of UTS_TRUNCATE, I squashed it. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
