For some use cases it is handy to use a different printk log level than the default (info) for the messages written to ttyprintk, so add a Kconfig option similar to what we have for default console loglevel.

2018-06-05char: sparc64: Add privileged ADI driverTom Hromatka1-0/+12
SPARC M7 and newer processors utilize ADI to version and protect memory. This driver is capable of reading/writing ADI/MCD versions from privileged user space processes. Addresses in the adi file are mapped linearly to physical memory at a ratio of 1:adi_blksz. Thus, a read (or write) of offset K in the file operates upon the ADI version at physical address K * adi_blksz. The version information is encoded as one version per byte. Intended consumers are makedumpfile and crash.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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.

2017-06-20drivers/char: kmem: disable on arm64Ard Biesheuvel1-0/+2
As it turns out, arm64 deviates from other architectures in the way it maps the VMALLOC region: on most (all?) other architectures, it resides strictly above the kernel's direct mapping of DRAM, but on arm64, this is the other way around. For instance, for a 48-bit VA configuration, we have modules : 0xffff000000000000 - 0xffff000008000000 ( 128 MB) vmalloc : 0xffff000008000000 - 0xffff7dffbfff0000 (129022 GB) ... vmemmap : 0xffff7e0000000000 - 0xffff800000000000 ( 2048 GB maximum) 0xffff7e0000000000 - 0xffff7e0003ff0000 ( 63 MB actual) memory : 0xffff800000000000 - 0xffff8000ffc00000 ( 4092 MB) This has mostly gone unnoticed until now, but it does appear that it breaks an assumption in the kmem read/write code, which does something like if (p < (unsigned long) high_memory) { ... use straight copy_[to|from]_user() using p as virtual address ... } ... if (count > 0) { ... use vread/vwrite for accesses past high_memory ... } The first condition will inadvertently hold for the VMALLOC region if VMALLOC_START < PAGE_OFFSET [which is the case on arm64], but the read or write will subsequently fail the virt_addr_valid() check, resulting in a -ENXIO return value. Given how kmem seems to be living in borrowed time anyway, and given the fact that nobody noticed that the read/write interface is broken on arm64 in the first place, let's not bother trying to fix it, but simply disable the /dev/kmem interface entirely for arm64.

2017-02-03serdev: Introduce new bus for serial attached devicesRob Herring1-0/+1
The serdev bus is designed for devices such as Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS and NFC connected to UARTs on host processors. Tradionally these have been handled with tty line disciplines, rfkill, and userspace glue such as hciattach. This approach has many drawbacks since it doesn't fit into the Linux driver model. Handling of sideband signals, power control and firmware loading are the main issues. This creates a serdev bus with controllers (i.e. host serial ports) and attached devices. Typically, these are point to point connections, but some devices have muxing protocols or a h/w mux is conceivable. Any muxing is not yet supported with the serdev bus.

Some embedded systems have no use for them. This removes about 25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out. Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm. The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast majority of use cases with very little code.

2016-06-29powerpc/powernv: Add driver for operator panel on FSP machinesSuraj Jitindar Singh1-0/+14
Implement new character device driver to allow access from user space to the operator panel display present on IBM Power Systems machines with FSPs. This will allow status information to be presented on the display which is visible to a user. The driver implements a character buffer which a user can read/write by accessing the device (/dev/op_panel). This buffer is then displayed on the operator panel display. Any attempt to write past the last character position will have no effect and attempts to write more characters than the size of the display will be truncated. The device may only be accessed by a single process at a time.

2016-06-26mn10300: use RTC_DRV_CMOS instead of CONFIG_RTCArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
nn10300 has a dependency on mc146818_get_time/mc146818_set_time, which we want to move from the mc146818rtc.h header into the rtc subsystem, which in turn is not usable on mn10300. This changes mn10300 to use the modern rtc-cmos driver instead of the old RTC driver, and that in turn lets us completely remove the read_persistent_clock/update_persistent_clock callbacks.

PowerPC is the last architecture using the GEN_RTC driver on some machines, but we can migrate them all to using the RTC_DRV_GENERIC driver instead now.

The asm/rtc.h header is only used for the old gen_rtc driver that has been replaced by rtc-generic. According to Geert Uytterhoeven, nobody has used the old driver on m68k for a long time, so we can now just remove the header file and disallow the driver in Kconfig.

2016-06-04char/genrtc: remove mn10300 supportArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
The genrtc driver serves no purpose on mn10300 because it drives the same hardware as the original rtc.c driver, and the newer rtc-generic.c or rtc-cmos.c drivers on architectures that use the asm-generic/rtc.h header. I assume it was initially only added for completeness when the mn10300 port was done, but the older rtc.c driver was always used instead. We can also stop include asm-generic/rtc.h now, because we just call mc146818_set_time() directly. It would be nice to change the architecture to use the rtc-cmos driver next, and remove support for the old rtc driver as well.

According to full-history-linux commit d3794f4fa7c3edc3 ("[PATCH] M68k update (part 25)"), port operations are allowed on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is defined. However, commit 153dcc54df826d2f ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional on isa i/o support") accidentally changed an "||" into an "&&", disabling it completely on m68k. This logic was retained when introducing the DEVPORT symbol in commit 4f911d64e04a44c4 ("Make /dev/port conditional on config symbol"). Drop the bogus dependency on !M68K to fix this.

2016-05-01char/rtc: replace blacklist with whitelistArnd Bergmann1-2/+1
Every new architecture has to add itself to the growing list of those that do not support the legacy PC RTC driver. This replaces the long list of architectures that don't support it with a shorter list of those that do. The list is taken from those architectures that have a non-empty asm/mc146818rtc.h header file and were not explicitly blacklisted or select RTC_LIB. Alpha and Loongson64 can already choose between this driver and an rtc-class based one. mn10300 is actually the only architecture now that still requires this driver, and that should be fairly easy to change to use rtc-cmos if we want to kill off rtc.ko for good.

Note that MAX_RAW_DEVS is used to set MAX_RAW_MINORS in drivers/char/raw.c.

2013-11-13drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processesPrarit Bhargava1-2/+8
The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the map such that additional data is exposed to userspace. This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY.

Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore. The patch just moves things around.

Instead of using /dev/mem directly and forcing userspace to know (or extract) where the platform has defined persistent memory, how many slots it has, the sizes, etc, use the common pstore infrastructure to handle Oops gathering and extraction. This presents a much easier to use filesystem-based view to the memory region. This also means that any other tools that are written to understand pstore will automatically be able to process ramoops too.
