proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

powerpc: Use octal numbers for file permissions

2018-01-21T18:48:33Z

Symbolic macros are unintuitive and hard to read, whereas octal constants are much easier to interpret. Replace macros for the basic permission flags (user/group/other read/write/execute) with numeric constants instead, across the whole powerpc tree. Introducing a significant number of changes across the tree for no runtime benefit isn't exactly desirable, but so long as these macros are still used in the tree people will keep sending patches that add them. Not only are they hard to parse at a glance, there are multiple ways of coming to the same value (as you can see with 0444 and 0644 in this patch) which hurts readability.

powerpc: Fix endianness of flash_block_list in rtas_flash

2014-07-28T01:30:54Z

The function rtas_flash_firmware passes the address of a data structure, flash_block_list, when making the update-flash-64-and-reboot rtas call. While the endianness of the address is handled correctly, the endianness of the data is not. This patch ensures that the data in flash_block_list is big endian when passed to rtas on little endian hosts. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/rtas_flash: Fix validate_flash buffer overflow issue

2013-05-14T04:36:26Z

ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200 bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below call trace). This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

Pull powerpc update from Benjamin Herrenschmidt: "The main highlights this time around are: - A pile of addition POWER8 bits and nits, such as updated performance counter support (Michael Ellerman), new branch history buffer support (Anshuman Khandual), base support for the new PCI host bridge when not using the hypervisor (Gavin Shan) and other random related bits and fixes from various contributors. - Some rework of our page table format by Aneesh Kumar which fixes a thing or two and paves the way for THP support.
