2020-07-23char: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS onesAlexander A. Klimov
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2020-03-19rtc/alpha: remove legacy rtc driverArnd Bergmann
The old drivers/char/rtc.c driver was originally the implementation for x86 PCs but got subsequently replaced by the rtc class driver on all architectures except alpha. Move alpha over to the portable driver and remove the old one for good. The CONFIG_JS_RTC option was only ever used on SPARC32 but has not been available for many years, this was used to build the same rtc driver with a different module name.

2019-08-23fdt: add support for rng-seedHsin-Yi Wang
Introducing a chosen node, rng-seed, which is an entropy that can be passed to kernel called very early to increase initial device randomness. Bootloader should provide this entropy and the value is read from /chosen/rng-seed in DT. Obtain of_fdt_crc32 for CRC check after early_init_dt_scan_nodes(), since early_init_dt_scan_chosen() would modify fdt to erase rng-seed. Add a new interface add_bootloader_randomness() for rng-seed use case. Depends on whether the seed is trustworthy, rng seed would be passed to add_hwgenerator_randomness(). Otherwise it would be passed to add_device_randomness(). Decision is controlled by kernel config RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER.

2019-04-05tty: mark Siemens R3964 line discipline as BROKENGreg Kroah-Hartman
The n_r3964 line discipline driver was written in a different time, when SMP machines were rare, and users were trusted to do the right thing. Since then, the world has moved on but not this code, it has stayed rooted in the past with its lovely hand-crafted list structures and loads of "interesting" race conditions all over the place. After attempting to clean up most of the issues, I just gave up and am now marking the driver as BROKEN so that hopefully someone who has this hardware will show up out of the woodwork (I know you are out there!) and will help with debugging a raft of changes that I had laying around for the code, but was too afraid to commit as odds are they would break things. Many thanks to Jann and Linus for pointing out the initial problems in this codebase, as well as many reviews of my attempts to fix the issues. It was a case of whack-a-mole, and as you can see, the mole won.

2019-01-22scsi/atari_scsi: Don't select CONFIG_NVRAMFinn Thain
On powerpc, setting CONFIG_NVRAM=n builds a kernel with no NVRAM support. Setting CONFIG_NVRAM=m enables the /dev/nvram misc device module without enabling NVRAM support in drivers. Setting CONFIG_NVRAM=y enables the misc device (built-in) and also enables NVRAM support in drivers. m68k shares the valkyriefb driver with powerpc, and since that driver uses NVRAM, it is affected by CONFIG_ATARI_SCSI, because of the use of "select NVRAM". We can avoid the "select" here, but drivers still have to interpret the CONFIG_NVRAM symbol consistently regardless of platform. In this patch and the subsequent fbdev driver patch, the convention is adopted across all relevant platforms whereby NVRAM functionality gets enabled in a given device driver when the nvram misc device is built-in or when both drivers are modules.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

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 Biesheuvel
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 Herring
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.

2016-11-16posix-timers: Make them configurableNicolas Pitre
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 Singh
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.
