Suman Anna 0d83539092 uio: fix incorrect memory leak cleanup
Commit 75f0aef622 ("uio: fix memory leak") has fixed up some
memory leaks during the failure paths of the addition of uio
attributes, but still is not correct entirely. A kobject_uevent()
failure still needs a kobject_put() and the kobject container
structure allocation failure before the kobject_init() doesn't
need a kobject_put(). Fix this properly.

Michal Sojka 171058fb08 uio: Allow handling of non page-aligned memory regions
Since commit b655028795 ("uio: we cannot mmap unaligned page
contents") addresses and sizes of UIO memory regions must be
page-aligned. If the address in the BAR register is not
page-aligned (which is the case of the mf264 card), the mentioned
commit forces the UIO driver to round the address down to the page
size. Then, there is no easy way for user-space to learn the offset of
the actual memory region within the page, because the offset seen in
/sys/class/uio/uio?/maps/map?/offset is calculated from the rounded
address and thus it is always zero.

Fix that problem by including the offset in struct uio_mem. UIO
drivers can set this field and userspace can read its value from
/sys/class/uio/uio?/maps/map?/offset.

The following commits update the uio_mf264 driver to set this new offs
field.

Drivers for hardware with page-aligned BARs need not to be modified
provided that they initialize struct uio_info (which contains uio_mem)
with zeros.

Brian Russell a087146c72 uio: Request/free irq separate from dev lifecycle
Separate irq request/free from the device lifecycle.
After device unregister the parent module can call pci_disable_msi.
>From the PCI MSI how to:

"Before calling this function, a device driver must always call free_irq()
on any interrupt for which it previously called request_irq().
Failure to do so results in a BUG_ON(), leaving the device with
MSI enabled and thus leaking its vector."

So we need to separately free the irq at unregister to allow the device
to be kept around in the case of it still having open FDs.

Bin Wang ddb09754e6 uio: fix vma io range check in mmap
the vma range size is always page size aligned in mmap, while the
real io space range may not be page aligned, thus leading to range
check failure in the uio_mmap_physical().

for example, in a case of io range size "mem->size == 1KB", and we
have (vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) == 4KB, due to "len" is aligned
to page size in do_mmap_pgoff().

now fix this issue by align mem->size to page size in the check.

Aaro Koskinen 632fefaf1f uio: fix devm_request_irq usage
Commit e6789cd3df (uio: Simplify uio error
path by using devres functions) converted uio to use devm_request_irq().
This introduced a change in behaviour since the IRQ is associated with
the parent device instead of the created UIO device. The IRQ will remain
active after uio_unregister_device() is called, and some drivers will
crash because of this. The patch fixes this.

Linus Torvalds b655028795 uio: we cannot mmap unaligned page contents
In commit 7314e613d5 ("Fix a few incorrectly checked
[io_]remap_pfn_range() calls") the uio driver started more properly
checking the passed-in user mapping arguments against the size of the
actual uio driver data.

That in turn exposed that some driver authors apparently didn't realize
that mmap can only work on a page granularity, and had tried to use it
with smaller mappings, with the new size check catching that out.

So since it's not just the user mmap() arguments that can be confused,
make the uio mmap code also verify that the uio driver has the memory
allocated at page boundaries in order for mmap to work.  If the device
memory isn't properly aligned, we return

  [ENODEV]
    The fildes argument refers to a file whose type is not supported by mmap().

as per the open group documentation on mmap.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 314e51b985 mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Kai Jiang 27a90700a4 uio: Support physical addresses >32 bits on 32-bit systems
To support >32-bit physical addresses for UIO_MEM_PHYS type we need to
extend the width of 'addr' in struct uio_mem.  Numerous platforms like
embedded PPC, ARM, and X86 have support for systems with larger physical
address than logical.

Since 'addr' may contain a physical, logical, or virtual address the
easiest solution is to just change the type to 'phys_addr_t' which
should always be greater than or equal to the sizeof(void *) such that
it can properly hold any of the address types.

For physical address we can support up to a 44-bit physical address on a
typical 32-bit system as we utilize remap_pfn_range() for the mapping of
the memory region and pfn's are represnted by shifting the address by
the page size (typically 4k).

Instead of adding uio class attributes manually after the uio device has
been created and we have sent a uevent to userspace, use the class
attribute mechanism.  This removes races and makes the code simpler.

At the same time don't bother to dynamically allocate a struct class for
uio, just declare one statically.  Less code is needed and it is easier
to set the class parameters.tune the class

Arnd Bergmann 6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

If a UIO memory region does not start on a page boundary but straddles one,
the number of actual pages that overlap the memory region may be calculated
incorrectly because the offset isn't taken into account.  If userspace sets
the mmap length to offset+size, it may fail with -EINVAL if UIO thinks it's
trying to allocate too many pages.

Hans J. Koch 8205779114 UIO: Add name attributes for mappings and port regions
If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace
to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can
handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings.
Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene!

To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each
mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name
string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be
returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers.

The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is
added there, too.

Hans J. Koch e70c412ee4 UIO: Pass information about ioports to userspace (V2)
Devices sometimes have memory where all or parts of it can not be mapped to
userspace. But it might still be possible to access this memory from
userspace by other means. An example are PCI cards that advertise not only
mappable memory but also ioport ranges. On x86 architectures, these can be
accessed with ioperm, iopl, inb, outb, and friends. Mike Frysinger (CCed)
reported a similar problem on Blackfin arch where it doesn't seem to be easy
to mmap non-cached memory but it can still be accessed from userspace.

This patch allows kernel drivers to pass information about such ports to
userspace. Similar to the existing mem[] array, it adds a port[] array to
struct uio_info. Each port range is described by start, size, and porttype.

If a driver fills in at least one such port range, the UIO core will simply
pass this information to userspace by creating a new directory "portio"
underneath /sys/class/uio/uioN/. Similar to the "mem" directory, it will
contain a subdirectory (portX) for each port range given.

Note that UIO simply passes this information to userspace, it performs no
action whatsoever with this data. It's userspace's responsibility to obtain
access to these ports and to solve arch dependent issues. The "porttype"
attribute tells userspace what kind of port it is dealing with.

This mechanism could also be used to give userspace information about GPIOs
related to a device. You frequently find such hardware in embedded devices,
so I added a UIO_PORT_GPIO definition. I'm not really sure if this is a good
idea since there are other solutions to this problem, but it won't hurt much
anyway.

Al Viro 233e70f422 saner FASYNC handling on file close
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

Fill in needed locking around idr accesses, then remove the big kernel lock
from the UIO driver.  Since there are no in-tree UIO drivers with open()
methods, no further BKL pushdown is required.
