2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

2014-08-25HID: uhid: report to user-space whether reports are numberedDavid Herrmann1-0/+11
This makes UHID_START include a "dev_flags" field that describes details of the hid-device in the kernel. The first flags we introduce describe whether a given report-type uses numbered reports. This is useful for transport layers that force report-numbers and therefore might have to prefix kernel-provided HID-messages with the report-number. Currently, only HoG needs this and the spec only talks about "global report numbers". That is, it's a global boolean not a per-type boolean. However, given the quirks we already have in kernel-space, a per-type value seems much more appropriate.

2014-08-25HID: uhid: implement SET_REPORTDavid Herrmann1-0/+17
We so far lacked support for hid_hw_raw_request(..., HID_REQ_SET_REPORT); Add support for it and simply forward the request to user-space. Note that SET_REPORT is synchronous, just like GET_REPORT, even though it does not provide any data back besides an error code. If a transport layer does SET_REPORT asynchronously, they can just ACK it immediately by writing an uhid_set_report_reply to uhid. This patch re-uses the synchronous uhid-report infrastructure to query user-space. Note that this means you cannot run SET_REPORT and GET_REPORT in parallel. However, that has always been a restriction of HID and due to its blocking nature, this is just fine. Maybe some future transport layer supports parallel requests (very unlikely), however, until then lets not over-complicate things and avoid request-lookup-tables.

2014-08-25HID: uhid: keep legacy definitions at the bottom of uhid.hDavid Herrmann1-39/+62
Instead of inlining the legacy definitions into the main part of uhid.h, keep them at the bottom now. This way, the API is much easier to read and legacy requests can be looked up at a separate place. Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2014-08-25HID: uhid: add ABI compatible UHID_GET_REPORT replacing UHID_FEATUREDavid Herrmann1-2/+21
The old hdev->hid_get_raw_report() was broken by design. It was never clear what kind of HW request it should trigger. Benjamin fixed that with the core HID cleanup, though we never really adjusted uhid. Unfortunately, our old UHID_FEATURE command was modelled around the broken hid_get_raw_report(). We converted it silently to the new GET_REPORT and nothing broke. Make this explicit by renaming UHID_FEATURE to UHID_GET_REPORT and UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER to UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY. Note that this is 100% ABI compatible to UHID_FEATURE. This is just a rename. But we have to keep the old definitions around to not break API. >From now on, UHID_GET_REPORT must trigger a GET_REPORT request on the user-space hardware layer. All the ambiguity due to the weird "feature" name should be gone now. Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2014-04-01HID: uhid: Add UHID_CREATE2 + UHID_INPUT2Petri Gynther1-0/+23
UHID_CREATE2: HID report descriptor data (rd_data) is an array in struct uhid_create2_req, instead of a pointer. Enables use from languages that don't support pointers, e.g. Python. UHID_INPUT2: Data array is the last field of struct uhid_input2_req. Enables userspace to write only the required bytes to kernel (ev.type + ev.u.input2.size + the part of the data array that matters), instead of the entire struct uhid_input2_req. Note: UHID_CREATE2 increases the total size of struct uhid_event slightly, thus increasing the size of messages that are queued for userspace. However, this won't affect the userspace processing of these events.

2013-07-31HID: uhid: use generic hidinput_input_event()David Herrmann1-1/+3
HID core provides the same functionality and can convert the input event to a raw output report. We can thus drop UHID_OUTPUT_EV and rely on the mandatory UHID_OUTPUT. User-space wasn't able to do anything with UHID_OUTPUT_EV, anyway. They don't have access to the report fields.

2013-01-03HID: uhid: use __packed__ for uhid_feature_answer_reqDavid Herrmann1-1/+1
We use __packed__ for all API structures so we can extend them without breaking alignment rules. We do try to explicitly align the structures, but to be safe we also use __packed__. uhid_feature_answer_req is already 64bit aligned so we can add __packed__ without breaking ABI.
