Including: - Fixup outdated kernel-doc paths - Slightly too short title underline - Some typos Signed-off-by: Andres Rodriguez Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: fix typo on pr_info_once() when ignore_sysfs_fallback is used

2018-03-22T17:33:26+00:00

When the sysctl knob is used ignore the fallback mechanism we pr_info_once() to ensure its noted the knob was used. The print incorrectly states its a debugfs knob, its a sysctl knob, so correct this typo. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: explicitly include vmalloc.h

rename: _request_firmware_load() fw_load_sysfs_fallback()

This reflects much clearer what is being done. While at it, kdoc'ify it. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

firmware: enable to force disable the fallback mechanism at run time

2018-03-20T08:28:47+00:00

You currently need four different kernel builds to test the firmware API fully. By adding a proc knob to force disable the fallback mechanism completely we are able to reduce the amount of kernels you need built to test the firmware API down to two.

firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loader

2018-03-20T08:28:47+00:00

Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the firmware API completely: 0) CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y 1) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y 2) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y 3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have no current tests for this. We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking the proc value at boot time.

firmware: move firmware loader into its own directory

2018-03-20T08:28:46+00:00

This will make it much easier to manage as we manage to keep trimming componnents down into their own files to more easily manage and maintain this codebase. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
