Removed the w1_family structure member variable need_exit. It was only being set and never used. Even if it were to be used it is a polling type operation.

Fixed data reading bug by replacing binary attribute with device one. Switching the sysfs read from bin_attribute to device_attribute. The data is far under PAGE_SIZE so the binary interface isn't required. As the device_attribute interface will make one call to w1_therm_read per file open and buffer, the result is, the following problems go away. buffer overflow: Execute a short read on w1_slave and w1_therm_read_bin would still return the full string size worth of data clobbering the user space buffer when it returned. Switching to device_attribute avoids the buffer overflow problems. With the snprintf formatted output dealing with short reads without doing a conversion per read would have been difficult. bad behavior: `cat w1_slave` would cause two temperature conversions to take place. Previously the code assumed W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE would be returned with each read. It would not return 0 unless the offset was less than W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE. The result was the first read did a temperature conversion, filled the buffer and returned, the offset in the second read would be less than W1_SLAVE_DATA_SIZE and also fill the buffer and return, the third read would finnally have a big enough offset to return 0 and cause cat to stop. Now w1_therm_read will be called at most once per open.

Fix bug reading the id sysfs file. If less than the full 8 bytes were read, the next read would start at the first byte instead of continuing. It needed the offset added to memcpy, or the better solution was to replace it with the device attribute instead of bin attribute.

Add a strong pullup option to the w1 system. This supplies extra power for parasite powered devices. There is a w1_master_pullup sysfs entry and enable_pullup module parameter to enable or disable the strong pullup. The one wire bus requires at a minimum one wire and ground. The common wire is used for sending and receiving data as well as supplying power to devices that are parasite powered of which temperature sensors can be one example. The bus must be idle and left high while a temperature conversion is in progress, in addition the normal pullup resister on larger networks or even higher temperatures might not supply enough power. The pullup resister can't provide too much pullup current, because devices need to pull the bus down to write a value. This enables the strong pullup for supported hardware, which can supply more current when requested. Unsupported hardware will just delay with the bus high. The hardware USB 2490 one wire bus master has a bit on some commands which will enable the strong pullup as soon as the command finishes executing. To use strong pullup, call the new w1_next_pullup function to register the duration. The next write command will call set_pullup before sending the data, and reset the duration to zero once it returns. Switched from simple_strtol to strict_strtol.

The w1_process thread's sleeping and termination has been modified. msleep_interruptible was replaced by schedule_timeout and schedule to allow for kthread_stop and wake_up_process to interrupt the sleep and the unbounded sleeping when a bus search is disabled. The W1_MASTER_NEED_EXIT and flags variable were removed as they were redundant with kthread_should_stop and kthread_stop. If w1_process is sleeping, requesting a search will immediately wake it up rather than waiting for the end of msleep_interruptible previously.

Move the creation of the w1_process thread to after the device has been initialized. This way w1_process doesn't have to check to see if it has been initialized and the bus search can proceed without sleeping. That also eliminates two checks in the w1_process loop. The sleep now happens at the end of the loop not the beginning. Also added a comment for why the atomic_set was 2.

w1_control_thread was removed which would wake up every second and process newly registered family codes and complete some final cleanup for a removed master. Those routines were moved to the threads that were previously requesting those operations. A new function w1_reconnect_slaves takes care of reconnecting existing slave devices when a new family code is registered or removed. The removal case was missing and would cause a deadlock waiting for the family code reference count to decrease, which will now happen. A problem with registering a family code was fixed. A slave device would be unattached if it wasn't yet claimed, then attached at the end of the list, two unclaimed slaves would cause an infinite loop. The struct w1_bus_master.search now takes a pointer to the struct w1_master device to avoid searching for it, which would have caused a lock ordering deadlock with the removal of w1_control_thread.

Patch tpm-correct-tpm-timeouts-to-jiffies-conversion reveals a bug in the Broadcom BCM0102 TPM chipset used in the Dell Latitude D820 - although most of the timeouts are returned in usecs as per the spec, one is apparently returned in msecs, which results in a too-small value leading to a timeout when the code treats it as usecs. To prevent a regression, we check for the known too-short value and adjust it to a value that makes things work.

Marcin Obara authored
This patch fixes timeouts conversion to jiffies, by replacing msecs_to_jiffies() calls with usecs_to_jiffies(). According to TCG TPM Specification Version 1.2 Revision 103 (pages 166, 167) TPM timeouts and durations are returned in microseconds (usec) not in miliseconds (msec). This fixes a long hang while loading TPM driver, if TPM chip starts in "Idle" state instead of "Ready" state. Without this patch - 'modprobe' may hang for 30 seconds or more.

Make the Thermal messages (temperature got past Tmid) be displayed only once because: 1) it's the BIOS job to configure and handle the memory throttling 2) if the BIOS is broken or is aware about the condition, flooding the system logs won't help anything. 3) According to the specification update for Intel 5000 MCHs, all the revisions of this MCH have problems on the thermal sensors, making not automatic (a.k.a. intelligent thermal throttling) impossible.

We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed. Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of: sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800 attempt to access beyond end of device Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk: Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes 1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801 /sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk, and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 These warnings are printed to the kernel log: sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

binfmt_elf_fdpic seems to have grabbed a hard-coded hack from an ancient version of binfmt_elf in order to try and fix up initial stack alignment on multi-threaded x86, which while in addition to being unused, was also pushed down beyond the first set of operations on the stack pointer, negating the entire purpose.
