xrt 1:2.25.0+dfsg-1

Package Information

Description	Xilinx Runtime (XRT) - runtime libraries Xilinx Runtime library (XRT) is an open-source easy to use software stack that facilitates management and usage of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) / Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) devices. Users use familiar programming languages like C/C++ or Python to write host code which uses XRT to interact with FPGA/ACAP device. XRT exports well defined set of software APIs that work across PCIe based datacenter platforms and ZYNQ UltraScale+ MPSoC/Versal ACAP based embedded platforms. XRT is a combination of userspace and kernel driver components. This package provides the runtime environment for xrt.

DFSG NEW review for xrt version 1:2.25.0+dfsg-1

Summary

Licensing is DFSG-compliant and debian/copyright is accurate: No
Packaging is of good quality: Yes
Issues: 1 blocker, 0 important, 4 minor
debian/watch: version 5
debian/copyright: machine-readable
Scan before the review: 17 found, 1 not mentioned in this report

Licensing

All code in the tree is under free licences (Apache-2.0, GPL-2/GPL-2+, MIT/Expat, BSD-2/BSD-3, Khronos, CC0) and every third-party subtree I read carries its own matching licence file; nothing restricts commercial use, modification or distribution. But debian/copyright is not accurate as shipped: it still gives the six xocl kernel files that debian/patches/0001 relicenses as Apache-2.0 (they are now GPL-2.0), still gives the patched mgmt-core.h as GPL-2+, leaves xdna/xdna-driver/LICENSE.amdnpu under the Apache-2.0 catch-all although it is a proprietary binary-only licence, omits Jan Stephan whom the NOTICE and several xocl sources name, and shortens GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to GPL-2 for the amdxdna uapi header. All of these are fixable in the copyright file alone.

Packaging

The packaging is careful and current: debhelper 13 with dh and correct addons, out-of-source cmake build in obj-$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE), hardening on, one well-documented upstream patch with provenance, a real package split with Breaks/Replaces for the files that moved, hand-written man pages for every installed binary, appstream metadata for the DKMS package, an autopkgtest and the DKMS test suite, and a changelog that follows the archive's version history. The only substantive quality point is that three header-only libraries Debian already ships (nlohmann json, Microsoft GSL, cxxopts) are used from bundled copies rather than from the archive (Policy 4.13).

Issues

blocker licensing 1. debian/copyright still says Apache-2.0 for the six xocl files that debian/patches/0001 relicensed to GPL-2.0, and GPL-2+ for mgmt-core.h which the same patch made GPL-2.0 ◂

Files: debian/copyright:67-69, debian/copyright:71-73, debian/copyright:75-77, debian/copyright:79-81, debian/copyright:83-85, debian/copyright:136-138, debian/copyright:149, debian/copyright:157, debian/patches/0001-Correct-licensing-for-XOCL-kernel-module-related-fil.patch
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: copyright has Files: .../xocl/mgmtpf/mgmt-core.c ... License: Apache-2.0 (likewise mgmt-utils.c, subdev/xgq_vmr.c, userpf/xocl_drv.c, userpf/xocl_sysfs.c, xocl_drv.h), while the applied patch rewrites each of those files to * SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0; for mgmt-core.h the GPL-2+ stanza at line 141 lists the file, but the patch deletes its either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version text and adds SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0.
Problem: Patches are already applied in the source package, so the tree that is built and shipped has those six files under GPL-2.0 only and mgmt-core.h under GPL-2.0 only. debian/copyright therefore misstates the licence of code that goes into the xrt-xocl-dkms module: it claims a permissive licence the files no longer carry, and for mgmt-core.h a GPL-2+ option the header explicitly no longer grants. The file is installed as /usr/share/doc/*/copyright, so this is the licence statement users and downstreams rely on (Policy 12.5, copyright-format 6.7).
Fix: Delete the six per-file Apache-2.0 stanzas (the Files: .../xocl/* stanza's GPL-2 then applies), and move mgmt-core.h out of the GPL-2+ stanza into a GPL-2 stanza; alternatively, if the intent is to keep the pre-patch licensing visible, drop the patch.

minor licensing 2. xdna/xdna-driver/LICENSE.amdnpu, a proprietary binary-only licence, is covered by Files: * Apache-2.0 ◂

Files: xdna/xdna-driver/LICENSE.amdnpu:1-10, debian/copyright:9-11
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: Redistribution and use of this Software in unmodified binary form only are permitted and No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of this software is permitted; the file is not named by any stanza, so the catch-all Files: * ... License: Apache-2.0 applies.
Problem: The text is AMD's licence for the amdxdna firmware (installed to /usr/lib/firmware/amdnpu, and referenced by xdna/xdna-driver/CMakeLists.txt and the Yocto recipes), not a free licence, and the firmware binaries are not in the tarball. Nothing in the package is actually under these terms, so there is no DFSG problem, but debian/copyright attributes Apache-2.0 to a file whose entire content is a non-free licence, which a licence reviewer cannot reconcile with the tree.
Fix: Add a stanza for xdna/xdna-driver/LICENSE.amdnpu with a short name of its own and its text quoted, stating that it covers firmware that is not part of the source; keep it out of the Apache-2.0 catch-all.

minor licensing 3. Jan Stephan j.stephan@hzdr.de is not named in debian/copyright although the NOTICE and eight xocl sources credit him ◂

Files: xrt/XRT/NOTICE:24-25, xrt/XRT/NOTICE:28-29, xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/xocl_drv.h:7, xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/xocl_test.c:4, xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/mgmtpf/mgmt-ioctl.c:4
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: XRT xocl and xclmgmt Linux kernel drivers include software developed by the following (GPL 2.0) / * Copyright (C) Jan Stephan <j.stephan@hzdr.de>; grep of debian/copyright finds no Stephan.
Problem: Neither the Files: .../xocl/* GPL-2 stanza nor the Files: xrt/XRT/NOTICE stanza names him, so a copyright holder the upstream notice identifies is missing from the Debian copyright file (xocl_test.c, mgmt-ioctl.c, firewall.c, fmgr.c, qdma.c, xocl_bo.c, xocl_drm.c and xocl_drv.h all carry him as author).
Fix: Add Copyright: ... Jan Stephan <j.stephan@hzdr.de> to the xocl GPL-2 stanza (or a stanza for the files he authored), and to the NOTICE stanza's Copyright list.

minor licensing 4. amdxdna_accel.h is GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note but debian/copyright lists plain GPL-2 ◂

Files: xdna/xdna-driver/include/uapi/drm/amdxdna_accel.h:1, xdna/xdna-driver/src/include/uapi/drm_local/amdxdna_accel.h:1, debian/copyright:256-266, debian/copyright:268-276
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */ in both copies; the stanzas for xdna/xdna-driver/include/* and xdna/xdna-driver/src/include/* say License: GPL-2.
Problem: The Linux-syscall-note is the exception that lets non-GPL userspace code include this uapi header, which is exactly how the userspace shim under src/shim uses it; dropping it from the short name makes the licence look stricter than it is, and the short name does not match the file's own identifier (copyright-format 6.7 and 7.1).
Fix: Use License: GPL-2 with Linux-syscall-note for those two files and add a stand-alone License: Linux-syscall-note paragraph quoting the exception.

minor packaging 5. Bundled copies of nlohmann json, Microsoft GSL and cxxopts are compiled instead of the libraries Debian ships ◂

Files: xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/common/gsl/, xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/common/json/nlohmann/, xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/common/aiebu/src/cpp/json/nlohmann/, xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/common/aiebu/src/cpp/cxxopts/, xrt/XRT/src/CMakeLists.txt:15-21
Basis: checked, in the package or with a reference tool
Evidence: include_directories(... ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/runtime_src/core/common/gsl/include ...) in src/CMakeLists.txt; the aiebu tools add ${AIEBU_SOURCE_DIR}/src/cpp/cxxopts/include; there is no Build-Depends on nlohmann-json3-dev, libmsgsl-dev or libcxxopts-dev, and json.hpp appears twice in the tree.
Problem: Policy 4.13: packages should not use convenience copies of code already in the archive as a library, but should reference the Debian library. nlohmann-json3-dev, libmsgsl-dev and libcxxopts-dev are all in unstable, so fixes to them (including security fixes) never reach xrt, and the source carries two copies of json.hpp. This is a quality issue only - all three copies are correctly licensed and recorded in debian/copyright.
Fix: Add the three -dev packages to Build-Depends and point the include paths at /usr/include, or record in debian/README.source why the copies cannot be replaced (e.g. a version requirement the archive does not meet).

Verified ◂

xdna/xdna-driver/build/recipes-hip/hip/files/hip_headers_5_7_31921.tar.gz is an archive of the ROCm/HIP 5.7 host headers (26 text headers under usr/include/hip, hip_runtime_api.h the largest), the source input of the Yocto recipe next to it (hip.bb); it is not used by the Debian build and not installed, the headers are AMD's MIT (2015-2023), which Files: * and the hip/detail stanzas cover.
xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/lib/libqdma/QDMA/linux-kernel/apps/dma-perf/dmaperf_config/st-h2c.zip, st-bi.zip and st-c2h-pfetch1.zip contain the dma-perf tool's stimulus configuration as small plain-text files inside zip containers (e.g. st-h2c/st_1_1_pfetch-cmptsz1/h2c_st_1_1_pfetch-cmptsz1_64, 238 bytes): test data inside the libqdma tree, under that tree's GPL-2/BSD-3 terms.
xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/lib/libqdma/QDMA/linux-kernel/docs/dma-ctl.8.gz is the gzipped troff source of the QDMA dma-ctl man page (text); the Debian packages ship their own hand-written man pages from debian/man instead.
xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/lib/libqdma/XDMA/linux-kernel/tests/data/datafile0_4K.bin, datafile1_4K.bin, datafile2_4K.bin, datafile3_4K.bin, datafile_8K.bin, datafile_256K.bin and datafile_32M.bin (all under the same tests/data/ directory) plus xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/lib/libqdma/QDMA/windows/apps/dma-arw/datafile4K.bin, datafile256K.bin, dma-rw/datafile4K.bin and dma-rw/datafile256K.bin are test-pattern input files for the XDMA/QDMA test and benchmark programs; they are data, not built artefacts, and are not installed by any package.
xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/lib/libqdma/QDMA/windows/sys/drv/resource/Resource.aps is a Visual Studio resource-editor cache; its source Resource.rc sits beside it.
The holder the scan could not place, "The Linux Foundation and its contributors", is the quoted Developer Certificate of Origin text inside xrt/XRT/CONTRIBUTING.rst (line 42); the file itself is Apache-2.0 (SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0, line 2), so this is not a missing holder.
The near-matches the scan listed are covered: "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc." and the "Xilinx, Inc ..." variants by the Files: * and per-directory stanzas, and "Google Inc." in xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/common/gsl/ThirdPartyNotices.txt:13 is googletest's BSD-3 notice quoted inside Microsoft's notice file, not a holder of gsl (MIT, Microsoft).
Read every licence file in the tree: xrt/XRT/LICENSE, NOTICE, src/runtime_src/xdp/LICENSE, core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/LICENSE (GPL-2), libqdma/{QDMA,XDMA,XVSEC}/linux-kernel/{LICENSE,COPYING}, QDMA/linux-kernel/{license.txt,bsd_license.txt}, common/gsl/LICENSE, common/aiebu/LICENSE, aiebu/src/cpp/cxxopts/LICENSE, tools/xbutil2/LICENSE, xdna/xdna-driver/src/vxdna/LICENSE, xdna/xdna-driver/LICENSE.amdnpu; all are Apache-2.0, GPL-2, MIT/Expat, BSD-2/BSD-3, Khronos or CC0, with no non-free terms in force anywhere except LICENSE.amdnpu, whose terms apply to firmware that is not in the tarball.
Sampled the vendored subtrees against their stanzas: elfio and ario (MIT, Serge Lamikhov-Center), the cxxopts and nlohmann copies, libfdt (BSD-2/GPL-2+), libqdma QDMA/windows (Apache-2.0) and QDMA/DPDK (BSD-3), the hip/detail/hip headers (AMD MIT, generated by the get_hip_headers.py that is present), xdna drivers/accel/amdxdna and include (GPL-2.0), xdna src/shim (Apache-2.0) and src/vxdna (MIT).
No compiled artefacts: a search for .so, *.o, *.a, *.ko, *.pyc, *.jar, *.exe, *.dll finds nothing; the only archives are the five the scan listed.
Both Files-Excluded paths (QDMA/linux-kernel/scripts/datafile_16bit_pattern.bin and license-for-datafile_16bit_pattern.txt) are absent from the tree, so the repack and the field agree.
Packaging read in full: control, rules, changelog, source/format, all .install/.docs/.manpages/.lintian-overrides/.conffiles, not-installed, clean, TODO, tests/control and tests/xrt-smi, salsa-ci.yml, upstream/metadata, the appstream file, all eleven man pages and patches/series with its single patch. Standards-Version 4.7.3 is current (Policy 4.7.4.1 here); the patch is git-format with upstream commit and PR provenance; the autopkgtest runs xrt-smi examine; Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-dkms matches xrt-xocl-dkms.
Checked dependencies with apt-cache: ocl-icd-dev, ocl-icd-opencl-dev and the opencl-icd virtual package (provided by mesa/rocm/pocl ICDs) exist, as do libmsgsl-dev, libcxxopts-dev and nlohmann-json3-dev; elfio has no binary package in the archive, so the bundled elfio/ario copy is not a duplicate.
libxrt-dev.install installs only usr/include/hip/hip_xrt.h from the HIP tree, the rest being in debian/not-installed, which matches the earlier conflict with libamdhip64-dev.
uscan found upstream releases with debian/watch; a newer upstream version is available (upstream 202620.2.26.149, packaged 2.25.0+dfsg), which is not a fault of the package.
Every pointer of debian/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (Apache-2.0, CC0-1.0, GPL-2, GPL-3).

Not confirmed ◂

libxrt-dev.install installs usr/include/CL/*, i.e. CL/cl_ext.h and CL/cl_gl_ext.h as well as xrt's own cl_ext_xilinx.h and cl2xrt.hpp. opencl-c-headers (khronos-opencl-headers, 3.0~2025.07.22-2) ships the Khronos OpenCL C headers and, as far as I can tell, the same two files under /usr/include/CL, which would make libxrt-dev and opencl-c-headers unpack-conflict. dpkg -c of opencl-c-headers would settle it; if the paths do collide this is an important bug, not a minor one.
The applied patch fixed only the .c files of the xocl module, but the module still compiles Apache-2.0-only headers into GPL-2.0 code: mailbox_proto.h (included by xocl_drv.h:58, hwmon_sdm.c, mailbox.c, xmc.c, xmc_u2.c, xocl_ioctl.c), xocl_xgq.h (xocl_xgq.c, cu_xgq.c, ert_ctrl.c) and flash_xrt_data.h (feature_rom.c). Unlike the patched sources, these contain only structs, enums, macros and prototypes, so whether upstream considers them part of the same licence problem is not something the package shows.
The prescan scanned only the first 4 MiB of 18 files larger than 4 MiB; I did not re-scan the parts it skipped.
What these files are. The scan made before the review picked them out (built files, minified code, archives, licence wording that is rarely free, or licences that are not accepted), and this report does not mention them: xrt/XRT/src/runtime_src/core/pcie/driver/linux/xocl/lib/libqdma/QDMA/windows/apps/dma-rw/datafile4K.bin (binary data of a kind the scan does not recognise).

Proposed changes ◂

None.
