u64_stats: fix u64_stats_init() for lockdep when used repeatedly in one file

Fix bogus lockdep warnings if multiple u64_stats_sync variables are
initialized in the same file.

With CONFIG_LOCKDEP, seqcount_init() is a macro which declares:

static struct lock_class_key __key;

Since u64_stats_init() is a function (albeit an inline one), all calls
within the same file end up using the same instance, effectively treating
them all as a single lock-class.

u64_stats: Streamline the implementation

The u64 stats code handles 3 different cases:

- 32bit UP
- 32bit SMP
- 64bit

with an unreadable #ifdef maze, which was recently expanded with PREEMPT_RT
conditionals.

Reduce it to two cases (32bit and 64bit) and drop the optimization for
32bit UP as suggested by Linus.

Use the new preempt_disable/enable_nested() helpers to get rid of the
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT conditionals.

u64_stats: Disable preemption on 32bit UP+SMP PREEMPT_RT during updates.

On PREEMPT_RT the seqcount_t for synchronisation is required on 32bit
architectures even on UP because the softirq (and the threaded IRQ handler) can
be preempted.

With the seqcount_t for synchronisation, a reader with higher priority can
preempt the writer and then spin endlessly in read_seqcount_begin() while the
writer can't make progress.

To avoid such a lock up on PREEMPT_RT the writer must disable preemption during
the update. There is no need to disable interrupts because no writer is using
this API in hard-IRQ context on PREEMPT_RT.

Disable preemption on 32bit-RT within the u64_stats write section.

u64_stats,lockdep: Fix u64_stats_init() vs lockdep

Jakub reported that:

static struct net_device *rtl8139_init_board(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
...
u64_stats_init(&tp->rx_stats.syncp);
u64_stats_init(&tp->tx_stats.syncp);
...
}

results in lockdep getting confused between the RX and TX stats lock.
This is because u64_stats_init() is an inline calling seqcount_init(),
which is a macro using a static variable to generate a lockdep class.

By wrapping that in an inline, we negate the effect of the macro and
fold the static key variable, hence the confusion.

Fix by also making u64_stats_init() a macro for the case where it
matters, leaving the other case an inline for argument validation
etc.

u64_stats: Document writer non-preemptibility requirement

The u64_stats mechanism uses sequence counters to protect against 64-bit
values tearing on 32-bit architectures. Updating such statistics is a
sequence counter write side critical section.

Preemption must be disabled before entering this seqcount write critical
section. Failing to do so, the seqcount read side can preempt the write
side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If that reader
belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the
kernel will livelock.

Document this statistics update side non-preemptibility requirement.

Reword the introductory paragraph to highlight u64_stats raison d'être:
64-bit values tearing protection on 32-bit architectures. Divide
documentation on a basis of internal design vs. usage constraints.

Reword the u64_stats header file top comment to always mention "Reader"
or "Writer" at the start of each bullet point, making it easier to
follow which side each point is actually for.

Clarify the statement "whole thing is a NOOP on 64bit arches or UP
kernels". For 32-bit UP kernels, preemption is always disabled for the
statistics read side section.

u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type

On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides
no help against load/store tearing.

Using READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() would be needed.

But the update side would be slightly more expensive.

local64_t was defined so that we could use regular adds
in a manner which is atomic wrt IRQs.

However the u64_stats infra means we do not have to use
local64_t on 32bit arches since the syncp provides the needed
protection.

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.

net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdep

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.

The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.

This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.

Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.

Feedback would be appreciated!

To properly implement 64bits network statistics on 32bit or 64bit hosts,
we provide one new type and four methods, to ease conversions.

Stats producer should use following template granted it already got an
exclusive access to counters (include/linux/u64_stats_sync.h contains
some documentation about details)

u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp);
stats->bytes64 += len;
stats->packets64++;
u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp);

While a consumer should use following template to get consistent
snapshot :

u64 tbytes, tpackets;
unsigned int start;

do {
start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&stats->syncp);
tbytes = stats->bytes64;
tpackets = stats->packets64;
} while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&stats->lock, syncp));
