USB: Remove remnants of Wireless USB and UWB

2023-08-09T12:17:06+00:00

Wireless USB has long been defunct, and kernel support for it was removed in 2020 by commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and UWB from the kernel tree."). Nevertheless, some vestiges of the old implementation still clutter up the USB subsystem and one or two other places. Let's get rid of them once and for all. The only parts still left are the user-facing APIs in include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h. (There are also a couple of misleading instances, such as the Sierra Wireless USB modem, which is a USB modem made by Sierra Wireless.)

usb: core: devices: drop redundant buffer overflow checks

2022-04-26T11:57:38+00:00

The USB device dump code often checks for the buffer overflow just before calling the functions that do that first thing anyways. Such checks are redundant and may be dropped...

USB: core: remove polling for /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

USB: core: additional Device Classes to debug/usb/devices

2020-06-18T08:02:58+00:00

Several newer USB Device classes are not presently reported individually at /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices, (reported as "unk."). This patch adds the following classes: 0fh (Personal Healthcare devices), 10h (USB Type-C combined Audio/Video devices) 11h (USB billboard), 12h (USB Type-C Bridge). As defined at [https://www.usb.org/defined-class-codes] Corresponding classes defined in include/linux/usb/ch9.h.

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
