[1] suggests that fastmap is suitable for large flash devices. Module
parameter 'fm_autoconvert' is a coarse grained switch to enable all
ubi devices to generate fastmap, which may turn on fastmap even for
small flash devices.
This patch imports a new field 'disable_fm' in struct 'ubi_attach_req'
to support following situations by ioctl 'UBI_IOCATT'.
[old functions]
A. Disable 'fm_autoconvert': Disbable fastmap for all ubi devices
B. Enable 'fm_autoconvert': Enable fastmap for all ubi devices
[new function]
C. Enable 'fm_autoconvert', set 'disable_fm' for given device: Don't
create new fastmap and do full scan (existed fastmap will be
destroyed) for the given ubi device.
A simple test case in [2].

User-space applications making use of MTD devices via /dev/mtd*
character devices currently have limited capabilities for reading data:
- only deprecated methods of accessing OOB layout information exist,
- there is no way to explicitly specify MTD operation mode to use; it
is auto-selected based on the MTD file mode (MTD_FILE_MODE_*) set
for the character device; in particular, this prevents using
MTD_OPS_AUTO_OOB for reads,
- all existing user-space interfaces which cause mtd_read() or
mtd_read_oob() to be called (via mtdchar_read() and
mtdchar_read_oob(), respectively) return success even when those
functions return -EUCLEAN or -EBADMSG; this renders user-space
applications using these interfaces unaware of any corrected
bitflips or uncorrectable ECC errors detected during reads.
Note that the existing MEMWRITE ioctl allows the MTD operation mode to
be explicitly set, allowing user-space applications to write page data
and OOB data without requiring them to know anything about the OOB
layout of the MTD device they are writing to (MTD_OPS_AUTO_OOB). Also,
the MEMWRITE ioctl does not mangle the return value of mtd_write_oob().
Add a new ioctl, MEMREAD, which addresses the above issues. It is
intended to be a read-side counterpart of the existing MEMWRITE ioctl.
Similarly to the latter, the read operation is performed in a loop which
processes at most mtd->erasesize bytes in each iteration. This is done
to prevent unbounded memory allocations caused by calling kmalloc() with
the 'size' argument taken directly from the struct mtd_read_req provided
by user space. However, the new ioctl is implemented so that the values
it returns match those that would have been returned if just a single
mtd_read_oob() call was issued to handle the entire read operation in
one go.
Note that while just returning -EUCLEAN or -EBADMSG to user space would
already be a valid and useful indication of the ECC algorithm detecting
errors during a read operation, that signal would not be granular enough
to cover all use cases. For example, knowing the maximum number of
bitflips detected in a single ECC step during a read operation performed
on a given page may be useful when dealing with an MTD partition whose
ECC layout varies across pages (e.g. a partition consisting of a
bootloader area using a "custom" ECC layout followed by data pages using
a "standard" ECC layout). To address that, include ECC statistics in
the structure returned to user space by the new MEMREAD ioctl.

Commit 6420ac0af95d ("mtdchar: prevent unbounded allocation in MEMWRITE
ioctl") added a safety check to mtdchar_write_ioctl() which attempts to
ensure that the write request sent by user space does not extend beyond
the MTD device's size. However, that check contains an addition of two
struct mtd_write_req fields, 'start' and 'len', both of which are u64
variables. The result of that addition can overflow, allowing the
safety check to be bypassed.
The arguably simplest fix - changing the data types of the relevant
struct mtd_write_req fields - is not feasible as it would break user
space.
Fix by making mtdchar_write_ioctl() truncate the value provided by user
space in the 'len' field of struct mtd_write_req, so that only the lower
32 bits of that field are used, preventing the overflow.
While the 'ooblen' field of struct mtd_write_req is not currently used
in any similarly flawed safety check, also truncate it to 32 bits, for
consistency with the 'len' field and with other MTD routines handling
OOB data.
Update include/uapi/mtd/mtd-abi.h accordingly.

This may sound like a contradiction but some SPI-NOR flashes really
support erasing their OTP region until it is finally locked. Having the
possibility to erase an OTP region might come in handy during
development.
The ioctl argument follows the OTPLOCK style.

Now that we have the logic for skipping CRC check for static UBI volumes
in the core, let's expose it to users.
This makes use of a padding byte in the volume description data
structure as a flag. This flag only tell for now whether we should skip
the CRC check of a volume.
This checks the UBI volume for which we are trying to skip the CRC check
is static.
Let's also make sure that the flags passed to verify_mkvol_req are
valid.
We voluntarily do not take into account the skip_check flag in
vol_cdev_write() as we want to make sure what we wrote was correctly
written.

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.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
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".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX

In order to allow a future ioctl parameter, such as a creation flag,
we change the UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK so it accepts a struct ubi_blkcreate_req.
For the time being the structure is not in use, but fully reserved.
This ABI change is still possible and harmless, because the ioctl has just
been introduced and there's no userspace program which uses it.

This commit introduces read-only block device emulation on top of UBI volumes.
Given UBI takes care of wear leveling and bad block management it's possible
to add a thin layer to enable block device access to UBI volumes.
This allows to use a block-oriented filesystem on a flash device.
The UBI block devices are meant to be used in conjunction with any
regular, block-oriented file system (e.g. ext4), although it's primarily
targeted at read-only file systems, such as squashfs.
Block devices are created upon user request through new ioctls:
UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK to attach and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to detach.
Also, a new UBI module parameter is added 'ubi.block'. This parameter is
needed in order to attach a block device on boot-up time, allowing to
mount the rootfs on a ubiblock device.
For instance, you could have these kernel parameters:
ubi.mtd=5 ubi.block=0,0 root=/dev/ubiblock0_0
Or, if you compile ubi as a module:
$ modprobe ubi mtd=/dev/mtd5 block=/dev/ubi0_0

The current ioctl define implies that this func expects to be passed a
64bit number directly rather than a pointer to a 64bit. The code that
processes this ioctl shows that it clearly expects a pointer.
It'd be best if we could change the type to "__s64*", but that would
change the generated ioctl number thus breaking the userland ABI. So
just add a comment for intrepid developers.
