      firmware: use const for remaining firmware names · e0fd9b1d
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the
      end for the remaining internal firmware name uses.
      There are two limitations with the way we use this.
      Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the
      struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd
      have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one
      using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer.
      We're also currently not using 'const' for the string.
      
      We wish to later extend some firmware data structures
      with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be
      very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to
      change things to use 'const' we might as well also address
      unified way to use multiple strings on the structs.
      
      Replace the flexible array practice for strings with
      kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid
      allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just
      allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This
      also means we can simplify the struct allocations by
      removing the string length from the allocation size
      computation, which would otherwise get even more
      complicated when supporting multiple strings.

      firmware: fix possible use after free on name on asynchronous request · f9692b26
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      Asynchronous firmware loading copies the pointer to the
      name passed as an argument only to be scheduled later and
      used. This behaviour works well for synchronous calling
      but in asynchronous mode there's a chance the caller could
      immediately free the passed string after making the
      asynchronous call. This could trigger a use after free
      having the kernel look on disk for arbitrary file names.
      
      In order to force-test the issue you can use a test-driver
      designed to illustrate this issue on github [0], use the
      next-20150505-fix-use-after-free branch.
      
      With this patch applied you get:
      
      [  283.512445] firmware name: test_module_stuff.bin
      [  287.514020] firmware name: test_module_stuff.bin
      [  287.532489] firmware found
      
      Without this patch applied you can end up with something such as:
      
      [  135.624216] firmware name: \xffffff80BJ
      [  135.624249] platform fake-dev.0: Direct firmware load for \xffffff80Bi failed with error -2
      [  135.624252] No firmware found
      [  135.624252] firmware found
      
      Unfortunatley in the worst and most common case however you
      can typically crash your system with a page fault by trying to
      free something which you cannot, and/or a NULL pointer
      dereference [1].
      
      The fix and issue using schedule_work() for asynchronous
      runs is generalized in the following SmPL grammar patch,
      when applied to next-20150505 only the firmware_class
      code is affected. This grammar patch can and should further
      be generalized to vet for for other kernel asynchronous
      mechanisms.

      firmware: check for file truncation on direct firmware loading · 1ba4de17
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      When direct firmware loading is used we iterate over a list
      of possible firmware paths and concatenate the desired firmware
      name with each path and look for the file there. Should the
      passed firmware name be too long we end up truncating the
      file we want to look for, the search however is still done.
      Add a check for truncation instead of looking for a
      truncated firmware filename.

      firmware: fix __getname() missing failure check · f5727b05
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      The request_firmware*() APIs uses __getname() to iterate
      over the list of paths possible for firmware to be found,
      the code however never checked for failure on __getname().
      Although *very unlikely*, this can still happen. Add the
      missing check.
      
      There is still no checks on the concatenation of the path
      and filename passed, that requires a bit more work and
      subsequent patches address this. The commit that introduced
      this is abb139e7 ("firmware: teach the kernel to load
      firmware files directly from the filesystem").

      drivers: of/base: move of_init to driver_init · f4445f8b
      Sudeep Holla authored
      Commit 5590f319 ("drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from
      devices with an OF node") adds the symlink `of_node` for each device
      pointing to it's device tree node while creating/initialising it.
      
      However the devicetree sysfs is created and setup in of_init which is
      executed at core_initcall level. For all the devices created before
      of_init, the following error is thrown:
      	"Error -2(-ENOENT) creating of_node link"
      
      Like many other components in driver model, initialize the sysfs support
      for OF/devicetree from driver_init so that it's ready before any devices
      are created.
      
      Fixes: 5590f319 ("drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from

      sysfs: disambiguate between "error code" and "failure" in comments · ed1dc8a8
      Antonio Ospite authored
      The sentence "Returns 0 on success or error" might be misinterpreted as

      driver-core: fix build for !CONFIG_MODULES · 80c6e146
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      Commit f2411da7 ("driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe
      support") broke build in case modules are disabled, because in this case
      "struct module" is not defined and we can't dereference it. Let's define
      module_requested_async_probing() helper and stub it out if modules are
      disabled.

      amd64_edac: enforce synchronous probe · 735c0f8f
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      While testing asynchronous PCI probe on this driver I noticed it failed
      because the driver checks if any of the PCI devices have been bound to
      the driver after registering it, which obviously does not work if
      probing is asynchronous.
      
      While there are patches and discussions on how the driver should behave
      are ongoing, let's enforce synchronous probe for this driver for now.

      driver-core: enable drivers to opt-out of async probe · d173a137
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      There are drivers that can not be probed asynchronously. One such group
      is platform drivers registered with platform_driver_probe(), which
      expects driver's probe routine be discarded after the driver has been
      registered and initial binding attempt executed. Also
      platform_driver_probe() an error when no devices were bound to the
      driver, allowing failing to load such driver module altogether.
      
      Other drivers do not work well with asynchronous probing because of
      driver bug or not optimal driver organization.
      
      To allow using such drivers even when user requests asynchronous probing
      as default boot strategy, let's allow them to opt out.

      driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support · f2411da7
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored
      Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers
      run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this
      and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a
      generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe.
      
      Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter
      given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some
      userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver
      will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides
      will be immediately available after this.

      driver-core: add asynchronous probing support for drivers · 765230b5
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      Some devices take a long time when initializing, and not all drivers are
      suited to initialize their devices when they are open. For example,
      input drivers need to interrogate their devices in order to publish
      device's capabilities before userspace will open them. When such drivers
      are compiled into kernel they may stall entire kernel initialization.
      
      This change allows drivers request for their probe functions to be
      called asynchronously during driver and device registration (manual
      binding is still synchronous). Because async_schedule is used to perform
      asynchronous calls module loading will still wait for the probing to
      complete.
      
      Note that the end goal is to make the probing asynchronous by default,
      so annotating drivers with PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is a temporary
      measure that allows us to speed up boot process while we validating and
      fixing the rest of the drivers and preparing userspace.
      
      This change is based on earlier patch by "Luis R. Rodriguez"

      After system bootup, there is no totally reliable way to see

      watchdog: Fix merge 'conflict' · ab992dc3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
      conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
      but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
      the resulting code did not behave as expected.
      
      Commit 195daf66 ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
      watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
      which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
      b3738d29 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").
      
      There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
      setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
      {en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.
      
      This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot
      readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent
      again.
