Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

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 $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\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. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

USB: core: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-04T10:55:39+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all USB files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/usb/

2017-11-04T10:48:02+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

usb: fix some references for /proc/bus/usb

2017-04-18T14:54:19+00:00

Since when we got rid of usbfs, the /proc/bus/usb is now elsewhere. Fix references for it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb: core: devices: remove unnecessary & operation

2016-11-03T08:38:23+00:00

Now that usb_endpoint_maxp() only returns the lowest 11 bits from wMaxPacketSize, we can remove the & operation from this driver. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Felipe Balbi

usb: core: devices: make use of new usb_endpoint_maxp_mult()

2016-11-03T08:38:17+00:00

We have introduced a helper to calculate multiplier value from wMaxPacketSize. Start using it. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Felipe Balbi

usb: core: rename mutex usb_bus_list_lock to usb_bus_idr_lock

Now that usb_bus_list has been removed and switched to idr rename the related mutex accordingly. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb: core: switch bus numbering to using idr

2016-02-03T21:26:30+00:00

USB bus numbering is based on directly dealing with bitmaps and defines a separate list of busses. This can be simplified and unified by using existing idr functionality. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
