    scripts: Add SPDX checker script · 5385a295
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The SPDX-License-Identifiers are growing in the kernel and so grow
    expression failures and license IDs are used which have no corresponding
    license text file in the LICENSES directory.
    
    Add a script which gathers information from the LICENSES directory,
    i.e. the various tags in the licenses and exception files and then scans
    either input from stdin, which it treats as a single file or if started
    without arguments it scans the full kernel tree.
    
    It checks whether the license expression syntax is correct and also
    validates whether the license identifiers used in the expressions are
    available in the LICENSES files.
    
    scripts/spdxcheck.py -h
    usage: spdxcheck.py [-h] [-m MAXLINES] [-v] [path [path ...]]
    
    SPDX expression checker
    
    positional arguments:
      path                  Check path or file. If not given full git tree scan.
                            For stdin use "-"
    
    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -m MAXLINES, --maxlines MAXLINES
                            Maximum number of lines to scan in a file. Default 15
      -v, --verbose         Verbose statistics output

    That's a full tree sweep on my laptop. Note, this runs single threaded.
    
    It scans by default the first 15 lines for a SPDX identifier where the
    current max inside a top comment is at line 10. But that's going to be
    faster once the identifiers are all in the first two lines as documented.
    
    The python wizards will surely know how to do that smarter and faster, but
    its at least better than no tool at all.
