devtmpfs: mount with noexec and nosuid devtmpfs is writable. Add the noexec and nosuid as default mount flags to prevent code execution from /dev. The systems who don't use systemd and who rely on CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y are the ones to be protected by this patch. Other systems are fine with the udev solution. No sane program should be relying on executing from /dev. So this patch reduces the attack surface. It doesn't prevent any specific attack, but it reduces the possibility that someone can use /dev as a place to put executable code. Chrome OS has been carrying this patch for several years. It seems trivial and simple solution to improve the protection of /dev when CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y.

node: Add heterogenous memory access attributes Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface for subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target node's initiator access class. If the system provides this information, applications may query these attributes when deciding which node to request memory. The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting performance attributes: # tree -P "read*|write*"/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/ /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/ |-- read_bandwidth |-- read_latency |-- write_bandwidth `-- write_latency The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in nanoseconds. The values are taken from the platform as reported by the manufacturer. Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's access "Z" initiator nodes linked in the same directory may observe different performance than reported here. When a subsystem makes use of this interface, initiators of a different access number may not have the same performance relative to initiators in other access numbers, or omitted from the any access class' initiators. Descriptions for memory access initiator performance access attributes are added to sysfs stable documentation.

firmware_loader: enhance Kconfig documentation over FW_LOADER If you try to read FW_LOADER today it speaks of old riddles and unless you have been following development closely you will lose track of what is what. Even the documentation for PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD is a bit fuzzy and how it fits into this big picture. Give the FW_LOADER kconfig documentation some love with more up to date developments and recommendations. While at it, wrap the FW_LOADER code into its own menu to compartmentalize and make it clearer which components really are part of the FW_LOADER. This should also make it easier to later move these kconfig entries into the firmware_loader/ directory later.

dma-buf/fence: Fix lock inversion within dma-fence-array Ages ago Rob Clark noted, "Currently with fence-array, we have a potential deadlock situation. If we fence_add_callback() on an array-fence, the array-fence's lock is acquired first, and in it's ->enable_signaling() callback, it will install cbs on it's array-member fences, so the array-member's lock is acquired second. But in the signal path, the array-member's lock is acquired first, and the array-fence's lock acquired second." Rob proposed either extensive changes to dma-fence to unnest the fence-array signaling, or to defer the signaling onto a workqueue. This is a more refined version of the later, that should keep the latency of the fence signaling to a minimum by using an irq-work, which is executed asap.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license 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. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. 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.

driver-core: add test module for asynchronous probing This test module tries to test asynchronous driver probing by having a driver that sleeps for an extended period of time (5 secs) in its probe() method. It measures the time needed to register this driver (with device already registered) and a new device (with driver already registered). The module will fail to load if the time spent in register call is more than half the probing sleep time. As a sanity check the driver will then try to synchronously register driver and device and fail if registration takes less than half of the probing sleep time.

Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> |
base: soc: Introduce soc_device_match() interface We keep running into cases where device drivers want to know the exact version of the a SoC they are currently running on. In the past, this has usually been done through a vendor specific API that can be called by a driver, or by directly accessing some kind of version register that is not part of the device itself but that belongs to a global register area of the chip. Common reasons for doing this include: - A machine is not using devicetree or similar for passing data about on-chip devices, but just announces their presence using boot-time platform devices, and the machine code itself does not care about the revision. - There is existing firmware or boot loaders with existing DT binaries with generic compatible strings that do not identify the particular revision of each device, but the driver knows which SoC revisions include which part. - A prerelease version of a chip has some quirks and we are using the same version of the bootloader and the DT blob on both the prerelease and the final version. An update of the DT binding seems inappropriate because that would involve maintaining multiple copies of the dts and/or bootloader. This patch introduces the soc_device_match() interface that is meant to work like of_match_node() but instead of identifying the version of a device, it identifies the SoC itself using a vendor-agnostic interface. Unlike of_match_node(), we do not do an exact string compare but instead use glob_match() to allow wildcards in strings.

cma: make default CMA area size zero for x86 This makes CMA memory area size zero for x86 in default configuration (doesn't change on the other architectures). If default CMA size is zero, DMA_CMA is disabled. It can be enabled by passing cma= to the kernel. This makes less impact on x86. Because there is no mainline driver that requires it for x86, and Peter Hurley reported the performance regression, as this is trying to drive _all_ dma mapping allocations through a _very_ small window.

device coredump: add new device coredump class Many devices run firmware and/or complex hardware, and most of that can have bugs. When it misbehaves, however, it is often much harder to debug than software running on the host. Introduce a "device coredump" mechanism to allow dumping internal device/firmware state through a generalized mechanism. As devices are different and information needed can vary accordingly, this doesn't prescribe a file format - it just provides mechanism to get data to be able to capture it in a generalized way (e.g. in distributions.) The dumped data will be readable in sysfs in the virtual device's data file under /sys/class/devcoredump/devcd*/. Writing to it will free the data and remove the device, as does a 5-minute timeout. Note that generalized capturing of such data may result in privacy issues, so users generally need to be involved. In order to allow certain users/system integrators/... to disable the feature at all, introduce a Kconfig option to override the drivers that would like to have the feature. For now, this provides two ways of dumping data: 1) with a vmalloc'ed area, that is then given to the subsystem and freed after retrieval or timeout 2) with a generalized reader/free function method We could/should add more options, e.g. a list of pages, since the vmalloc area is very limited on some architectures.

CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionality Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc. They have their own code to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar. From my guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management. KVM side wants to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages. When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me. I want to change this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this patch. This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying & pasting this reserved area management code. In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA reserved area management and now it's time to do it. This patch moves core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions. There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

firmware loader: allow disabling of udev as firmware loader [The patch was originally proposed by Tom Gundersen, and rewritten afterwards by me; most of changelogs below borrowed from Tom's original patch -- tiwai] Currently (at least) the dell-rbu driver selects FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER, which means that distros can't really stop loading firmware through udev without breaking other users (though some have). Ideally we would remove/disable the udev firmware helper in both the kernel and in udev, but if we were to disable it in udev and not the kernel, the result would be (seemingly) hung kernels as no one would be around to cancel firmware requests. This patch allows udev firmware loading to be disabled while still allowing non-udev firmware loading, as done by the dell-rbu driver, to continue working. This is achieved by only using the fallback mechanism when the uevent is suppressed. The patch renames the user-selectable Kconfig from FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER to FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK, and the former is reverse-selected by the latter or the drivers that need userhelper like dell-rbu. Also, the "default y" is removed together with this change, since it's been deprecated in udev upstream, thus rather better to disable it nowadays. Tested with FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n LATTICE_ECP3_CONFIG=y DELL_RBU=y and udev without the firmware loading support, but I don't have the hardware to test the lattice/dell drivers, so additional testing would be appreciated.

fence: dma-buf cross-device synchronization (v18) A fence can be attached to a buffer which is being filled or consumed by hw, to allow userspace to pass the buffer without waiting to another device. For example, userspace can call page_flip ioctl to display the next frame of graphics after kicking the GPU but while the GPU is still rendering. The display device sharing the buffer with the GPU would attach a callback to get notified when the GPU's rendering-complete IRQ fires, to update the scan-out address of the display, without having to wake up userspace. A driver must allocate a fence context for each execution ring that can run in parallel. The function for this takes an argument with how many contexts to allocate: + fence_context_alloc() A fence is transient, one-shot deal. It is allocated and attached to one or more dma-buf's. When the one that attached it is done, with the pending operation, it can signal the fence: + fence_signal() To have a rough approximation whether a fence is fired, call: + fence_is_signaled() The dma-buf-mgr handles tracking, and waiting on, the fences associated with a dma-buf. The one pending on the fence can add an async callback: + fence_add_callback() The callback can optionally be cancelled with: + fence_remove_callback() To wait synchronously, optionally with a timeout: + fence_wait() + fence_wait_timeout() When emitting a fence, call: + trace_fence_emit() To annotate that a fence is blocking on another fence, call: + trace_fence_annotate_wait_on(fence, on_fence) A default software-only implementation is provided, which can be used by drivers attaching a fence to a buffer when they have no other means for hw sync. But a memory backed fence is also envisioned, because it is common that GPU's can write to, or poll on some memory location for synchronization. For example: fence = custom_get_fence(...); if ((seqno_fence = to_seqno_fence(fence)) != NULL) { dma_buf *fence_buf = seqno_fence->sync_buf; get_dma_buf(fence_buf); ... tell the hw the memory location to wait ... custom_wait_on(fence_buf, seqno_fence->seqno_ofs, fence->seqno); } else { /* fall-back to sw sync * / fence_add_callback(fence, my_cb); } On SoC platforms, if some other hw mechanism is provided for synchronizing between IP blocks, it could be supported as an alternate implementation with it's own fence ops in a similar way. enable_signaling callback is used to provide sw signaling in case a cpu waiter is requested or no compatible hardware signaling could be used. The intention is to provide a userspace interface (presumably via eventfd) later, to be used in conjunction with dma-buf's mmap support for sw access to buffers (or for userspace apps that would prefer to do their own synchronization). v1: Original v2: After discussion w/ danvet and mlankhorst on #dri-devel, we decided that dma-fence didn't need to care about the sw->hw signaling path (it can be handled same as sw->sw case), and therefore the fence->ops can be simplified and more handled in the core. So remove the signal, add_callback, cancel_callback, and wait ops, and replace with a simple enable_signaling() op which can be used to inform a fence supporting hw->hw signaling that one or more devices which do not support hw signaling are waiting (and therefore it should enable an irq or do whatever is necessary in order that the CPU is notified when the fence is passed). v3: Fix locking fail in attach_fence() and get_fence() v4: Remove tie-in w/ dma-buf.. after discussion w/ danvet and mlankorst we decided that we need to be able to attach one fence to N dma-buf's, so using the list_head in dma-fence struct would be problematic. v5: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Updated for dma-bikeshed-fence and dma-buf-manager. v6: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] I removed dma_fence_cancel_callback and some comments about checking if fence fired or not. This is broken by design. waitqueue_active during destruction is now fatal, since the signaller should be holding a reference in enable_signalling until it signalled the fence. Pass the original dma_fence_cb along, and call __remove_wait in the dma_fence_callback handler, so that no cleanup needs to be performed. v7: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Set cb->func and only enable sw signaling if fence wasn't signaled yet, for example for hardware fences that may choose to signal blindly. v8: [ Maarten Lankhorst ] Tons of tiny fixes, moved __dma_fence_init to header and fixed include mess. dma-fence.h now includes dma-buf.h All members are now initialized, so kmalloc can be used for allocating a dma-fence. More documentation added. v9: Change compiler bitfields to flags, change return type of enable_signaling to bool. Rework dma_fence_wait. Added dma_fence_is_signaled and dma_fence_wait_timeout. s/dma// and change exports to non GPL. Added fence_is_signaled and fence_enable_sw_signaling calls, add ability to override default wait operation. v10: remove event_queue, use a custom list, export try_to_wake_up from scheduler. Remove fence lock and use a global spinlock instead, this should hopefully remove all the locking headaches I was having on trying to implement this. enable_signaling is called with this lock held. v11: Use atomic ops for flags, lifting the need for some spin_lock_irqsaves. However I kept the guarantee that after fence_signal returns, it is guaranteed that enable_signaling has either been called to completion, or will not be called any more. Add contexts and seqno to base fence implementation. This allows you to wait for less fences, by testing for seqno + signaled, and then only wait on the later fence. Add FENCE_TRACE, FENCE_WARN, and FENCE_ERR. This makes debugging easier. An CONFIG_DEBUG_FENCE will be added to turn off the FENCE_TRACE spam, and another runtime option can turn it off at runtime. v12: Add CONFIG_FENCE_TRACE. Add missing documentation for the fence->context and fence->seqno members. v13: Fixup CONFIG_FENCE_TRACE kconfig description. Move fence_context_alloc to fence. Simplify fence_later. Kill priv member to fence_cb. v14: Remove priv argument from fence_add_callback, oops! v15: Remove priv from documentation. Explicitly include linux/atomic.h. v16: Add trace events. Import changes required by android syncpoints. v17: Use wake_up_state instead of try_to_wake_up. (Colin Cross) Fix up commit description for seqno_fence. (Rob Clark) v18: Rename release_fence to fence_release. Move to drivers/dma-buf/. Rename __fence_is_signaled and __fence_signal to *_locked. Rename __fence_init to fence_init.

cpu: add generic support for CPU feature based module autoloading This patch adds support for advertising optional CPU features over udev using the modalias, and for declaring compatibility with/dependency upon such a feature in a module. The mapping between feature numbers and actual features should be provided by the architecture in a file called <asm/cpufeature.h> which exports the following functions/macros: - cpu_feature(FEAT), a preprocessor macro that maps token FEAT to a numeric index; - bool cpu_have_feature(n), returning whether this CPU has support for feature #n; - MAX_CPU_FEATURES, an upper bound for 'n' in the previous function. The feature can then be enabled by setting CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_AUTOPROBE for the architecture. For instance, a module that registers its module init function using module_cpu_feature_match(FEAT_X, module_init_function) will be probed automatically when the CPU's support for the 'FEAT_X' feature is advertised over udev, and will only allow the module to be loaded by hand if the 'FEAT_X' feature is supported.

mm: factor out memory isolate functions mm/page_alloc.c has some memory isolation functions but they are used only when we enable CONFIG_{CMA|MEMORY_HOTPLUG|MEMORY_FAILURE}. So let's make it configurable by new CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION so that it can reduce binary size and we can check it simple by CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION, not if defined CONFIG_{CMA|MEMORY_HOTPLUG|MEMORY_FAILURE}.

drivers: add Contiguous Memory Allocator The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks. CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system. This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

drivers/base: add bus for System-on-Chip devices Traditionally, any System-on-Chip based platform creates a flat list of platform_devices directly under /sys/devices/platform. In order to give these some better structure, this introduces a new bus type for soc_devices that are registered with the new soc_device_register() function. All devices that are on the same chip should then be registered as child devices of the soc device. The soc bus also exports a few standardised device attributes which allow user space to query the specific type of soc.

dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism This is the first step in defining a dma buffer sharing mechanism. A new buffer object dma_buf is added, with operations and API to allow easy sharing of this buffer object across devices. The framework allows: - creation of a buffer object, its association with a file pointer, and associated allocator-defined operations on that buffer. This operation is called the 'export' operation. - different devices to 'attach' themselves to this exported buffer object, to facilitate backing storage negotiation, using dma_buf_attach() API. - the exported buffer object to be shared with the other entity by asking for its 'file-descriptor (fd)', and sharing the fd across. - a received fd to get the buffer object back, where it can be accessed using the associated exporter-defined operations. - the exporter and user to share the scatterlist associated with this buffer object using map_dma_buf and unmap_dma_buf operations. Atleast one 'attach()' call is required to be made prior to calling the map_dma_buf() operation. Couple of building blocks in map_dma_buf() are added to ease introduction of sync'ing across exporter and users, and late allocation by the exporter. For this first version, this framework will work with certain conditions: - *ONLY* exporter will be allowed to mmap to userspace (outside of this framework - mmap is not a buffer object operation), - currently, *ONLY* users that do not need CPU access to the buffer are allowed. More details are there in the documentation patch. This is based on design suggestions from many people at the mini-summits[1], most notably from Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>, Rob Clark <rob@ti.com> and Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch>. The implementation is inspired from proof-of-concept patch-set from Tomasz Stanislawski <t.stanislaws@samsung.com>, who demonstrated buffer sharing between two v4l2 devices.

regmap: Add generic non-memory mapped register access API There are many places in the tree where we implement register access for devices on non-memory mapped buses, especially I2C and SPI. Since hardware designers seem to have settled on a relatively consistent set of register interfaces this can be effectively factored out into shared code. There are a standard set of formats for marshalling data for exchange with the device, with the actual I/O mechanisms generally being simple byte streams. We create an abstraction for marshaling data into formats which can be sent on the control interfaces, and create a standard method for plugging in actual transport underneath that. This is mostly a refactoring and renaming of the bottom level of the existing code for sharing register I/O which we have in ASoC. A subsequent patch in this series converts ASoC to use this. The main difference in interface is that reads return values by writing to a location provided by a pointer rather than in the return value, ensuring we can use the full range of the type for register data. We also use unsigned types rather than ints for the same reason. As some of the devices can have very large register maps the existing ASoC code also contains infrastructure for managing register caches. This cache work will be moved over in a future stage to allow for separate review, the current patch only deals with the physical I/O.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.

always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y James Bottomley recently discovered that we have {request,release}_firmware() dummies for the case of the actual functions not being available and has a fix for the bug that was actually causing build errors for built-in users with CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m. But now missing selects on FW_LOADER are no longer visible at compile-time at all and can become runtime problems. FW_LOADER is infrastructure with relatively small codesize we can safely enable for everyone, and only for people who really need small kernels (and can be expected to know what they are doing) it matters being able to disable it. This patch therefore always sets FW_LOADER=y and allows users only to disable it with EMBEDDED=y. As a bonus, we can then get rid of all "select FW_LOADER" plus the due to it required "depends on HOTPLUG" which removes some complexity from our Kconfig files.

devres: device resource management Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
