266f312845 dccp: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

b24413180f 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.

792e6d3389 dccp tfrc/ccid-3: computing the loss rate from the Loss Event Rate
This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in
the computation of the Loss Rate p:

 * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5;
 * 1/0        is mapped into 100%, the maximum;
 * to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this
   means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum
   resolution value of p is now returned instead;
 * a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.

d2c726309d dccp ccid-3: remove buggy RTT-sampling history lookup
This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since

 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both
    indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample);

 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug
    warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value;

 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and
    thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606.

The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually.

Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be
triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above),
hence it is not very useful.

a3cbdde8e9 dccp ccid-3: Preventing Oscillations
This implements [RFC 3448, 4.5], which performs congestion avoidance behaviour
by reducing the transmit rate as the queueing delay (measured in terms of
long-term RTT) increases.

Oscillation can be turned on/off via a module option (do_osc_prev) and via sysfs
(using mode 0644), the default is off.

Overflow analysis:
------------------
 * oscillation prevention is done after update_x(), so that t_ipi <= 64000;
 * hence the multiplication "t_ipi * sqrt(R_sample)" needs 64 bits;
 * done using u64 for sqrt_sample and explicit typecast of t_ipi;
 * the divisor, R_sqmean, is non-zero because oscillation prevention is first
   called when receiving the second feedback packet, and tfrc_scaled_rtt() > 0.

A detailed discussion of the algorithm (with plots) is on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid3/sender_notes/oscillation_prevention/

The algorithm has negative side effects:
  * when allowing to decrease t_ipi (leads to a large RTT) and
  * when using it during slow-start;
both uses are therefore disabled.

 * renamed handle_loss() into congestion_event() since it returns true when a

Updating the RX history records is now only necessary for the packets received
up to sending the first feedback. The receiver code becomes again simpler.

68c89ee535 dccp ccid-3: Update the computation of X_recv
This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for
RFC 4342 and draft rfc3448bis-06, ensuring that at least an interval of 1
RTT is used to compute X_recv.  The change is wrapped into a new function
ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv().

Further changes:
----------------
 * feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per
   rfc3448bis-06, 6.2;
 * take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid
   taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy);
 * clearer handling of failure in ccid3_first_li().

22338f09bd dccp tfrc: Increase number of RTT samples
This improves the receiver RTT sampling algorithm so that it tries harder to get
as many RTT samples as possible. 

The algorithm is based the concepts presented in RFC 4340, 8.1, using timestamps
and the CCVal window counter. There exist 4 cases for the CCVal difference:
 * == 0: less than RTT/4 passed since last packet -- unusable;
 *  > 4: (much) more than 1 RTT has passed since last packet -- also unusable;
 * == 4: perfect sample (exactly one RTT has passed since last packet);
 * 1..3: sub-optimal sample (between RTT/4 and 3*RTT/4 has passed).

In the last case the algorithm tried to optimise by storing away the candidate
and then re-trying next time. The problem is that
 * a large number of samples is needed to smooth out the inaccuracies of the
   algorithm;
 * the sender may not be sending enough packets to warrant a "next time";
 * hence it is better to use suboptimal samples whenever possible.
The algorithm now stores away the current sample only if the difference is 0.

Applicability and background
----------------------------
A realistic example is MP3 streaming where packets are sent at a rate of less
than one packet per RTT, which means that suitable samples are absent for a
very long time.

The effectiveness of using suboptimal samples (with a delta between 1 and 4) was
confirmed by instrumenting the algorithm with counters. The results of two 20
second test runs were:
 * With the old algorithm and a total of 38442 function calls, only 394 of these
   calls resulted in usable RTT samples (about 1%), and 378 out of these were
   "perfect" samples and 28013 (unused) samples had a delta of 1..3.
 * With the new algorithm and a total of 37057 function calls, 1702 usable RTT
   samples were retrieved (about 4.6%), 5 out of these were "perfect" samples.

2b81143aa3 dccp ccid-3: Always perform receiver RTT sampling
This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the
Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the
RTT (or use a sender RTT).

Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss.

The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less
than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch).

Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation
is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. This further simplifies
the CCID-3 code.

34a081be8e dccp tfrc: Let dccp_tfrc_lib do the sampling work

 * sampling of the packet size `s' (which is only needed until the first
   loss interval is computed (ccid3_first_li));
 * updating the byte-counter `bytes_recvd' in between sending feedbacks.
The result is a better separation of CCID-3 specific and TFRC specific
code, which aids future integration with ECN and e.g. CCID-4.

Further changes:
----------------
 * replaced magic number of 536 with equivalent constant TCP_MIN_RCVMSS;
   (this constant is also used when no estimate for `s' is available).

3ca7aea041 dccp tfrc: Return type of update_i_mean is void
This changes the return type of tfrc_lh_update_i_mean() to void, since that 
function returns always `false'. This is due to 

 	len = dccp_delta_seqno(cur->li_seqno, DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_seq) + 1;
 
 	if (len - (s64)cur->li_length <= 0)	/* duplicate or reordered */
		return 0;

which means that update_i_mean can only increase the length of the open loss
interval I_0, and hence the value of I_tot0 (RFC 3448, 5.4). Consequently the
test `i_mean < old_i_mean' at the end of the function always evaluates to false.

There is no known way by which a loss interval can suddenly become shorter,
therefore the return type of the function is changed to void. (That is, under
the given circumstances step (3) in RFC 3448, 6.1 will not occur.)

Further changes:
----------------
 * the function is now called from tfrc_rx_handle_loss, which is equivalent
   to the previous way of calling from rx_packet_recv (it was called whenever
   there was no new or pending loss, now  it is also updated when there is
   a pending loss - this increases the accuracy a bit);
 * added a FIXME to possibly consider NDP counting as per RFC 4342 (this is
   not implemented yet).

d20ed95f8b dccp tfrc: Perform early loss detection
This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module
is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1:

 * when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set
 * X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2,
 * corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%.

The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv()
and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate()
has been added.  Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises
the first entry with a sequence number of GSR.

8b67ad12b0 dccp tfrc: Suppress unavoidable "below resolution" warning
In the congestion-avoidance phase a decay of p towards 0 is natural once fewer
losses are encountered. Hence the warning message "p is below resolution" is
not necessary, and thus turned into a debug message by this patch.

The TFRC_SMALLEST_P is needed since in theory p never actually reaches 0. When
no further losses are encountered, the loss interval I_0 grows in length, 
causing p to decrease towards 0, causing X_calc = s/(RTT * f(p)) to increase.

With the given minimum-resolution this congestion avoidance phase stops at some
fixed value, an approximation formula has been added to the documentation.

535c55df13 dccp tfrc/ccid-3: Computing Loss Rate from Loss Event Rate
This adds a function to take care of the following cases occurring in the
computation of the Loss Rate p:

 * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5;
 * 1/0        is mapped into the maximum of 100%;
 * we want to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large,
   since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start (indicated by p==0).

In the last case, the minimum-resolution value of p is returned.

Furthermore, a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed (1/0 was mapped into ~0U),
which now allows to consistently print the scaled p-values as

        printf("Loss Event Rate = %u.%04u %%\n", rx_info.tfrcrx_p / 10000,

63b3a73bb8 dccp ccid-3: Remove ugly RTT-sampling history lookup
This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since

 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both
    indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample);

 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug
    warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value;

 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and
    thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606.

The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually.					       

Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be
triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above),
hence it is not very useful.

Further changes:

 * added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when
   rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes

1e8a287c79 dccp ccid-3: TFRC reverse-lookup Bug-Fix
This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p,
the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p).

The smallest tabulated value of
	 
   10^6 * f(p) =  sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) 

for p=0.0001 is 8172. 

Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss
of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table
resolution of 0.01%.

This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes
of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput.

Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32).

 * provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval;
 * provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm
 	- support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets;
