ipmi_watchdog: Fix read syscall not responding to signals during sleep

Read syscall cannot response to sigals when data_to_read remains at 0
and the while loop cannot break. Check signal_pending in the loop.

ipmi/watchdog: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy()

Xu Panda <xu.panda@zte.com.cn>

The implementation of strscpy() is more robust and safer.
That's now the recommended way to copy NUL terminated strings.

ipmi/watchdog: Include <linux/kstrtox.h> when appropriate

The kstrto<something>() functions have been moved from kernel.h to

So, in order to eventually remove <linux/kernel.h> from <linux/watchdog.h>,
include the latter directly in the appropriate files.

ipmi: Add an intializer for ipmi_smi_msg struct

There was a "type" element added to this structure, but some static
values were missed. The default value will be zero, which is correct,
but create an initializer for the type and initialize the type properly
in the initializer to avoid future issues.

ipmi:watchdog: Set panic count to proper value on a panic

You will get two decrements when the messages on a panic are sent, not
one, since commit 2033f6858970 ("ipmi: Free receive messages when in an

the value properly.

ipmi/watchdog: Stop watchdog timer when the current action is 'none'

When an IPMI watchdog timer is being stopped in ipmi_close() or
ipmi_ioctl(WDIOS_DISABLECARD), the current watchdog action is updated to
WDOG_TIMEOUT_NONE and _ipmi_set_timeout(IPMI_SET_TIMEOUT_NO_HB) is called
to install this action. The latter function ends up invoking
__ipmi_set_timeout() which makes the actual 'Set Watchdog Timer' IPMI
request.

For IPMI 1.0, this operation results in fully stopping the watchdog timer.
For IPMI >= 1.5, function __ipmi_set_timeout() always specifies the "don't
stop" flag in the prepared 'Set Watchdog Timer' IPMI request. This causes
that the watchdog timer has its action correctly updated to 'none' but the
timer continues to run. A problem is that IPMI firmware can then still log
an expiration event when the configured timeout is reached, which is
unexpected because the watchdog timer was requested to be stopped.

The patch fixes this problem by not setting the "don't stop" flag in
__ipmi_set_timeout() when the current action is WDOG_TIMEOUT_NONE which
results in stopping the watchdog timer. This makes the behaviour for
IPMI >= 1.5 consistent with IPMI 1.0. It also matches the logic in
__ipmi_heartbeat() which does not allow to reset the watchdog if the
current action is WDOG_TIMEOUT_NONE as that would start the timer.

compat_ioctl: move WDIOC handling into wdt drivers

All watchdog drivers implement the same set of ioctl commands, and
fortunately all of them are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit
architectures.

Modern drivers always go through drivers/watchdog/wdt.c as an abstraction
layer, but older ones implement their own file_operations on a character
device for this.

Move the handling from fs/compat_ioctl.c into the individual drivers.

Note that most of the legacy drivers will never be used on 64-bit
hardware, because they are for an old 32-bit SoC implementation, but
doing them all at once is safer than trying to guess which ones do
or do not need the compat_ioctl handling.

*: convert stream-like files from nonseekable_open -> stream_open

Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af3422
("fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write
can run simultaneously without deadlock"), search and convert to
stream_open all in-kernel nonseekable_open users for which read and
write actually do not depend on ppos and where there is no other methods
in file_operations which assume @offset access.

I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert -
and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct
to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci
limitations. The script also does not convert files that should be valid to
convert, but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek
for unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.
drivers/input/mousedev.c)

Among cases converted 14 were potentially vulnerable to read vs write deadlock
(see details in 10dce8af3422):

write do not use ppos at all and corresponding file_operations do not
have methods that assume @offset file access(*):

currently detects only "wait_event*" as blocking.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

Rename:

wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

ipmi watchdog : add panic_wdt_timeout parameter

In order to allow panic actions to be processed, the ipmi watchdog
driver sets a new timeout value on panic. The 255s timeout
was designed to allow kdump and others actions on panic, as in
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0711.3/0258.html

This is counter-intuitive for a end-user who sets watchdog timeout
value to something like 30s and who expects BMC to reset the system
within 30s of a panic.

This commit allows user to configure the timeout on panic.

x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routines

Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion. A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.

[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call

https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114

And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]

The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

x86: Convert some devices to use DIE_NMIUNKNOWN

They are a handful of places in the code that register a die_notifier
as a catch all in case no claims the NMI. Unfortunately, they trigger
on events like DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, which depending on when they
registered may collide with other handlers that have the ability to
determine if the NMI is theirs or not.

The function unknown_nmi_error() makes one last effort to walk the
die_chain when no one else has claimed the NMI before spitting out
messages that the NMI is unknown.

This is a better spot for these devices to execute any code without
colliding with the other handlers.

The two drivers modified are only compiled on x86 arches I believe, so
they shouldn't be affected by other arches that may not have
DIE_NMIUNKNOWN defined.

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.

ipmi: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

param: update drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c to new scheme

This is one of the most interesting users of module parameters in the
tree, so weaning it off the old-style non-const module_param_call
scheme is a useful exercise.

I was confused by set_param_int/get_param_int (vs. the normal
param_set_int and param_get_int), so I renamed set_param_int to
set_param_timeout, and re-used param_get_int directly instead of
get_param_int. I also implemented param_check_wdog_ifnum and
param_check_timeout, so now the ifnum_to_use and timeout/pretimeout
parameters can just use plain module_param().

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.

IPMI: remove bogus semaphore from watchdog

Lockdep was giving an error when loading the IPMI watchdog module. It turns
out that if you try to claim a lock in a parameter handling routine, lockdep
won't see that lock as "static" yet because the module is not yet on the
module list, so it will complain.

However, the semaphore in question is completely unnecessary. So just remove
it.

This reverts commit f64da958dfc83335de1d2bef9d3868f30feb4e53.

Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem
worth it. IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even
though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because
the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not.

various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.

(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.

(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain

BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

# 50c812b2 26-Mar-2006 Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>

[PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs support

Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper
bus and device support.

It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.

The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

[PATCH] ipmi: fix watchdog timeout panic handling

If a panic came from the IPMI watchdog pretimeout and that was reported via
an NMI, it would also be reported via the standard IPMI flags, which would
get picked up when reporting panic events and cause another panic. This
adds an atomic to avoid calling panic twice.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
