2016-09-06doc: ioctl: Add some clarifications to botching-up-ioctlsLaura Abbott
- The guide currently says to pad the structure to a multiple of 64-bits. This is not necessary in cases where the structure contains no 64-bit types. Clarify this concept to avoid unnecessary padding. - When using __u64 to hold user pointers, blindly trying to do a cast to a void __user * may generate a warning on 32-bit systems about a cast from an integer to a pointer of different size. There is a macro to deal with this which hides an ugly double cast. Add a reference to this macro.

2016-08-02nilfs2: move ioctl interface and disk layout to uapi separatelyRyusuke Konishi
The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user space programs. This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor changes are accompanied by this migration: - nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure. - inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

2015-10-29lightnvm: Support for Open-Channel SSDsMatias Bjørling
Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer (FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features of SSDs. LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection, and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata persistence are still handled by the device. The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and (multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store, object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be application-specific.

2015-10-04stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devicesAlexander Shishkin
A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM. This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP stream. This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency. For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism. For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that can be connected to an stm device at run time.

2015-07-24toshiba_acpi: Add /dev/toshiba_acpi deviceAzael Avalos
There were previous attempts to "merge" the toshiba SMM module to the toshiba_acpi one, they were trying to imitate what the old toshiba module does, however, some models (TOS1900 devices) come with a "crippled" implementation and do not provide all the "features" a "genuine" Toshiba BIOS does. This patch adds a new device called toshiba_acpi, which aim is to enable userspace to access the SMM on Toshiba laptops via ACPI calls. Creating a new convenience _IOWR command to access the SCI functions by opening/closing the SCI internally to avoid buggy BIOS, while at the same time providing backwards compatibility. Older programs (and new) who wish to access the SMM on newer models can do it by pointing their path to /dev/toshiba_acpi (instead of /dev/toshiba) as the toshiba.h header was modified to reflect these changes as well as adds all the toshiba_acpi paths and command, however, it is strongly recommended to use the new IOCTL for any SCI command to avoid any buggy BIOS.

2013-03-25USB: cdc-wdm: implement IOCTL_WDM_MAX_COMMANDBjørn Mork
Userspace applications need to know the maximum supported message size. The cdc-wdm driver translates between a character device stream and a message based protocol. Each message is transported as a usb control message with no further encapsulation or syncronization. Each read or write on the character device should translate to exactly one usb control message to ensure that message boundaries are kept intact. That means that the userspace application must know the maximum message size supported by the device and driver, making this size a vital part of the cdc-wdm character device API. CDC WDM and CDC MBIM functions export the maximum supported message size through CDC functional descriptors. The cdc-wdm and cdc_mbim drivers will parse these descriptors and use the value chosen by the device. The only current way for a userspace application to retrive the value is by duplicating the descriptor parsing. This is an unnecessary complex task, and application writers are likely to postpone it, using a fixed value and adding a "todo" item. QMI functions have no way to tell the host what message size they support. The qmi_wwan driver use a fixed value based on protocol recommendations and observed device behaviour. Userspace applications must know and hard code the same value. This scheme will break if we ever encounter a QMI device needing a device specific message size quirk. We are currently unable to support such a device because using a non default size would break the implicit userspace API. The message size is currently a hidden attribute of the cdc-wdm userspace API. Retrieving it is unnecessarily complex, increasing the possibility of drivers and applications using different limits. The resulting errors are hard to debug, and can only be replicated on identical hardware. Exporting the maximum message size from the driver simplifies the task for the userspace application, and creates a unified information source independent of device and function class. It also serves to document that the message size is part of the cdc-wdm userspace API. This proposed API extension has been presented for the authors of userspace applications and libraries using the current API: libmbim, libqmi, uqmi, oFono and ModemManager. The replies were: Aleksander Morgado: "We do really need max message size for MBIM; and as you say, it may be good to have the max message size info also for QMI, so the new ioctl seems a good addition. So +1 from my side, for what it's worth." Dan Williams: "Yeah, +1 here. I'd prefer the sysfs file, but the fact that that doesn't work for fd passing pretty much kills it." No negative replies are so far received.

2013-01-31wanrouter: completely decouple obsolete code from kernel.Paul Gortmaker
The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2bcc5de8a17af5f2274f7fcde8292b5fc ("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012. More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit 7be6065b39c3 ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv"). So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail report of breakage for at least 4 years. This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver deletion commit tied into their history. Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

2012-07-31vfio: VFIO coreAlex Williamson
VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable IOMMU). New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their choice.

2012-03-20hfsplus: add an ioctl to bless filesMatthew Garrett
Making an hfsplus partition bootable requires the ability to "bless" a file by putting its inode number in the volume header. Doing this from userspace on a mounted filesystem is impractical since the kernel will write back the original values on unmount. Add an ioctl to allow userspace to update the volume header information based on the target file.

2012-03-04ppp: Move ioctl definitions from if_ppp.h to new ppp-ioctl.hPaul Mackerras
This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h. The new file has my copyright since I designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s. None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h published by Carnegie Mellon University. Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical). Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h> which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code. Thus I have removed the CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other copyright notice.

Add the drivers/virt directory, which houses drivers that support virtualization environments, and add the Freescale hypervisor management driver. The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services to drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor: 1. An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions 2. A file interface to reading incoming doorbells 3. An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon receiving the shutdown doorbell from a manager partition 4. A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed partition shuts down.

2011-05-24mmc: core: Add mmc CMD+ACMD passthrough ioctlJohn Calixto
Allows appropriately-privileged applications to send CMD (normal) and ACMD (application-specific; preceded with CMD55) commands to cards/devices on the mmc bus. This is primarily useful for enabling the security functionality built in to every SD card. It can also be used as a generic passthrough (e.g. to enable virtual machines to control mmc bus devices directly). However, this use case has not been tested rigorously. Generic passthrough testing was only conducted for a few non-security opcodes to prove the feasibility of the passthrough. Since any opcode can be sent using this passthrough, it is very possible to render the card/device unusable. Applications that use this ioctl must have CAP_SYS_RAWIO. Security commands tested on TI PCIxx12 (SDHCI), Sigma Designs SMP8652 SoC, TI OMAP3621/OMAP3630 SoC, Samsung S5PC110 SoC, Qualcomm MSM7200A SoC.
