<content type='text'>
Port straight to GTK 4 rather than GTK 3, since GTK 4 is where new
development happens and GTK 3 is old itself now.

GTK 4 drops GtkContainer, GdkScreen, and the gtk_main()/
gtk_dialog_run() family perf's GTK UI relied on. Containers get
per-widget setters (gtk_box_append() and friends), monitor geometry
comes from GdkMonitor instead of GdkScreen, and the main and
error-dialog loops become explicit GMainLoops quit from the
"close-request" and "response" signals. Widgets are visible by default
now, so gtk_widget_show_all()/set_no_show_all() go away, and the
remaining gtk_widget_show()/gtk_widget_hide() calls become
gtk_widget_set_visible() (with a small wrapper where "response" needs
to pass gtk_widget_hide() as a callback, since it no longer exists as
a plain function).

gtk_ui_progress__finish() skips destroying a progress dialog that was
never created, since gtk_window_destroy() asserts on NULL where the old
widget destroy tolerated it. Two spots the GTK 2 to GTK 3 port had
missed (builtin-annotate.c, ui/gtk/setup.c still using
HAVE_GTK2_SUPPORT and gtk_main_quit()) are fixed to match.

Runtime fallout from the new signal-driven loops: the error dialog's
nested loop hung if the parent window closed
(GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT destroys without emitting "response");
gtk_info_bar_get_content_area() is gone, breaking GTK_INFO_BAR_SUPPORT;
the progress dialog's static widget pointers dangled after a manual
close; perf_gtk__error() and the warning functions reused an exhausted
va_list when vasprintf() failed.

The error loop is tracked in a list instead of a single pointer, since
perf_gtk__error() can be called re-entrantly (the dialog isn't modal)
and a lone global leaked the outer loop when that happened. The list
is only ever touched from the main thread: perf_gtk__error() updates
it while handling a dialog, and SIGINT/SIGQUIT/SIGTERM are deferred to
a GLib source via g_unix_signal_add() rather than calling
perf_gtk__exit() straight out of a real signal handler, so quitting on
those signals is serialized with the list update instead of racing it
from signal-handler context. SIGSEGV/SIGFPE keep a real handler, since
they're synchronous faults with no "later" to defer to, but it's pared
down to reporting and reraising the default disposition
(perf_gtk__fatal_signal()): there's no safe way to run GTK/GLib code
from the faulting context. stdarg.h, stdio.h, and string.h are now
included explicitly where used (util.c, hists.c, annotate.c) rather
than relying on transitive includes, which musl doesn't guarantee.

The gtk4-infobar feature check is dropped: GtkInfoBar has existed
unconditionally since GTK 3.10, so the check can only ever pass, and it
was failing outright here anyway since gtk_info_bar_new() is deprecated
and the check treats deprecation warnings as errors.
HAVE_GTK_INFO_BAR_SUPPORT and its statusbar-only fallback go away; the
info bar is now built unconditionally.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.
