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.

perf jit: Generate .eh_frame/.eh_frame_hdr in DSO

When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as
eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject.

The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do
not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. It can
be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is
passed to V8.

The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the
.text.

The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a
4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of
the word size, which means there will never be additional padding
between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or
8 bytes.

However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and
.eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes,
also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra
bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of
removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the
jitdump.

perf jit: Enable jitdump support without dwarf

This patch modifies the build dependencies on the jitdump support in
perf. As it stands jitdump was wrongfully made dependent 100% on using
DWARF. However, the dwarf dependency, only exist if generating the
source line table in genelf_debug.c. The rest of the support does not
need DWARF.

This patch removes the dependency on DWARF for the entire jitdump
support. It keeps it only for the genelf_debug.c support.

perf jit: genelf makes assumptions about endian

Commit 9b07e27f88b9 ("perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support")
incorrectly assumed that PowerPC is big endian only.

Simplify things by consolidating the define of GEN_ELF_ENDIAN and checking
for __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

The PowerPC checks were also incorrect, they do not match what gcc
emits. We should first look for __powerpc64__, then __powerpc__.

perf jit: add source line info support

This patch adds source line information support to perf for jitted code.

The source line info must be emitted by the runtime, such as JVMTI.

Perf injects extract the source line info from the jitdump file and adds
the corresponding .debug_lines section in the ELF image generated for
each jitted function.

The source line enables matching any address in the profile with a
source file and line number.

The improvement is visible in perf annotate with the source code
displayed alongside the assembly code.

The dwarf code leverages the support from OProfile which is also
released under GPLv2. Copyright 2007 OProfile authors.

perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support

This patch adds a --jit/-j option to perf inject.

This options injects MMAP records into the perf.data file to cover the
jitted code mmaps. It also emits ELF images for each function in the
jidump file. Those images are created where the jitdump file is. The
MMAP records point to that location as well.

Typical flow:

$ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libpjvmti.so java_class
$ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
$ perf report -i perf.data.jitted

Note that jitdump.h support is not limited to Java, it works with any
jitted environment modified to emit the jitdump file format, include
those where code can be jitted multiple times and moved around.

The jitdump.h format is adapted from the Oprofile project.

The genelf.c (ELF binary generation) depends on MD5 hash encoding for
the buildid. To enable this, libssl-dev must be installed. If not, then
genelf.c defaults to using urandom to generate the buildid, which is not
ideal. The Makefile auto-detects the presence on libssl-dev.

This version mmaps the jitdump file to create a marker MMAP record in
the perf.data file. The marker is used to detect jitdump and cause perf
inject to inject the jitted mmaps and generate ELF images for jitted
functions.

In V8, the following fixes and changes were made among other things:

- the jidump header format include a new flags field to be used
to carry information about the configuration of the runtime agent.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

- Fix mmap pgoff: MMAP event pgoff must be the offset within the ELF file
at which the code resides.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

- Fix ELF virtual addresses: perf tools expect the ELF virtual addresses of dynamic
objects to match the file offset.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

- JIT MMAP injection does not obey finished_round semantics. JIT MMAP injection injects all
MMAP events in one go, so it does not obey finished_round semantics, so drop the
finished_round events from the output perf.data file.
