* firewire: cdev: add PHY packet receptionStefan Richter2010-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_RECEIVE_PHY_PACKETS ioctl() and FW_CDEV_EVENT_PHY_PACKET_RECEIVED poll()/read() event for /dev/fw*. This can be used to get information from remote PHYs by remote access PHY packets. This is also the 2nd half of the functionality (the receive part) to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer. Safety considerations: - PHY packets are generally broadcasts, hence some kind of elevated privileges should be required of a process to be able to listen in on PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this privilege. There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these kinds of operations. Other limitations: - PHY packet reception may be switched on by ioctl() but cannot be switched off again. It would be trivial to provide an off switch, but this is not worth the code. The client should simply close() the fd then, or just ignore further events. - For sake of simplicity of API and kernel-side implementation, no filter per packet content is provided.

* firewire: cdev: add PHY packet transmissionStefan Richter2010-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_PHY_PACKET ioctl() for /dev/fw* which can be used to implement bus management related functionality in userspace. This is also half of the functionality (the transmit part) that is needed to support a userspace implementation of a VersaPHY transaction layer. Safety considerations: - PHY packets are generally broadcasts and may have interesting effects on PHYs and the bus, e.g. make asynchronous arbitration impossible due to too low gap count. Hence some kind of elevated privileges should be required of a process to be able to send PHY packets. This implementation assumes that a process that is allowed to open the /dev/fw* of a local node does have this privilege. There was an inconclusive discussion about introducing POSIX capabilities as a means to check for user privileges for these kinds of operations. - The kernel does not check integrity of the supplied packet data. That would be far too much code, considering the many kinds of PHY packets. A process which got the privilege to send these packets is trusted to do it correctly. Just like with the other "send packet" ioctls, a non-blocking API is chosen; i.e. the ioctl may return even before AT DMA started. After transmission, an event for poll()/read() is enqueued. Most users are going to need a blocking API, but a blocking userspace wrapper is easy to implement, and the second of the two existing libraw1394 calls raw1394_phy_packet_write() and raw1394_start_phy_packet_write() can be better supported that way.

* firewire: cdev: some clarifications to the API documentationStefan Richter2010-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Response events: - are generated on more occasions than their documentation claimed. CSR allocation: - An already occupied CSR can be determined from errno==EBUSY. Bus resets: - Note that FW_CDEV_IOC_INITIATE_BUS_RESET is nonblocking and that the client is not required to observe a grace period since kernels 2.6.36+ will enforce it now (commit 02d37bed). - The possible values of fw_cdev_initiate_bus_reset.type are listed in the kerneldoc comment already. - Clarify that an application that uses FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR and FW_CDEV_IOC_REMOVE_DESCRIPTOR does not have to issue a bus reset. Isochronous I/O contexts: - At most one can be created per open file descriptor. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
* firewire: normalize status values in packet callbacksStefan Richter2010-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | core-transaction.c transmit_complete_callback() and close_transaction() expect packet callback status to be an ACK or RCODE, and ACKs get translated to RCODEs for transaction callbacks. An old comment on the packet callback API (been there from the initial submission of the stack) and the dummy_driver implementation of send_request/send_response deviated from this as they also included -ERRNO in the range of status values. Let's narrow status values down to ACK and RCODE to prevent surprises. RCODE_CANCELLED is chosen as the dummy_driver's RCODE as its meaning of "transaction timed out" comes closest to what happens when a transaction coincides with card removal.

* firewire: core: integrate software-forced bus resets with bus managementStefan Richter2010-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bus resets which are triggered - by the kernel drivers after updates of the local nodes' config ROM, - by userspace software via ioctl shall be deferred until after >=2 seconds after the last bus reset. If multiple modifications of the local nodes' config ROM happen in a row, only a single bus reset should happen after them. When the local node's link goes from inactive to active or vice versa, and at the two occasions of bus resets mentioned above --- and if the current gap count differs from 63 --- the bus reset should be preceded by a PHY configuration packet that reaffirms the gap count. Otherwise a bus manager would have to reset the bus again right after that. This is necessary to promote bus stability, e.g. leave grace periods for allocations and reallocations of isochronous channels and bandwidth, SBP-2 reconnections etc.; see IEEE 1394 clause 8.2.1. This change implements all of the above by moving bus reset initiation into a delayed work (except for bus resets which are triggered by the bus manager workqueue job and are performed there immediately). It comes with a necessary addition to the card driver methods that allows to get the current gap count from PHY registers. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

* firewire: cdev: fix ABI for FCP and address range mapping, add ↵Stefan Richter2010-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fw_cdev_event_request2 The problem: A target-like userspace driver, e.g. AV/C target or SBP-2/3 target, needs to be able to act as responder and requester. In the latter role, it needs to send requests to nods from which it received requests. This is currently impossible because fw_cdev_event_request lacks information about sender node ID. Reported-by: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com> Libffado + libraw1394 + firewire-core is currently unable to drive two or more audio devices on the same bus. Reported-by: Arnold Krille <arnold@arnoldarts.de> This is because libffado requires destination node ID of FCP requests and sender node ID of FCP responses to match. It even prohibits libffado from working with a bus on which libraw1394 opens a /dev/fw* as default ioctl device that does not correspond with the audio device. This is because libraw1394 does not receive the sender node ID from the kernel. Moreover, fw_cdev_event_request makes it impossible to tell unicast and broadcast write requests apart. The fix: Add a replacement of struct fw_cdev_event_request request, boringly called struct fw_cdev_event_request2. The new event will be sent to a userspace client instead of the old one if the client claims compatibility with <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI version 4 or later. libraw1394 needs to be extended to make use of the new event, in order to properly support libffado and other FCP or address range mapping users who require correct sender node IDs. Further notes: While we are at it, change back the range of possible values of fw_cdev_event_request.tcode to 0x0...0xb like in ABI version <= 3. The preceding change "firewire: expose extended tcode of incoming lock requests to (userspace) drivers" expanded it to 0x0...0x17 which could catch sloppily coded clients by surprise. The extended range of codes is only used in the new fw_cdev_event_request2.tcode. Jay and I also suggested an alternative approach to fix the ABI for incoming requests: Add an FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_REQUEST_INFO ioctl which can be called after reception of an fw_cdev_event_request, before issuing of the closing FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_RESPONSE ioctl. The new ioctl would reveal the vital information about a request that fw_cdev_event_request lacks. Jay showed an implementation of this approach. The former event approach adds 27 LOC of rather trivial code to core-cdev.c, the ioctl approach 34 LOC, some of which is nontrivial. The ioctl approach would certainly also add more LOC to userspace programs which require the expanded information on inbound requests. This approach is probably only on the lighter-weight side in case of clients that want to be compatible with kernels that lack the new capability, like libraw1394. However, the code to be added to such libraw1394-like clients in case of the event approach is a straight- forward additional switch () case in its event handler.

* firewire: cdev: freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION due to libraw1394 bugStefan Richter2010-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libraw1394 v2.0.0...v2.0.5 takes FW_CDEV_VERSION from an externally installed header file and uses it to declare its own implementation level in FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO. This is wrong; it should set the real version for which it was actually written. If we add features to the kernel ABI that require the kernel to check a client's implementation level, we can not trust the client version if it was set from FW_CDEV_VERSION. Hence freeze FW_CDEV_VERSION at the current value (no damage has been done yet), clearly document FW_CDEV_VERSION as a dummy version and what clients are expected to do with fw_cdev_get_info.version, and use a new defined constant (which is not placed into the exported header file) as kernel implementation level. Note, in order to check in client program source code which features are present in an externally installed linux/firewire-cdev.h, use preprocessor directives like #ifdef FW_CDEV_IOC_ALLOCATE_ISO_RESOURCE or #ifdef FW_CDEV_EVENT_ISO_RESOURCE_ALLOCATED instead of a check of FW_CDEV_VERSION.

* firewire: remove an unused function argumentStefan Richter2010-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a remote node chose to transmit a request to us. In case of split transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed. Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum, except log it for debug purposes. But data that is merely potentially (not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

So let's rename BIB_IMC, add a defined constant for Node_Capabilities and a comment which reassures people that somebody thought about it and they don't have to (or if they still do, tell them where they have to look for confirmation), and prune our incomplete and arbitrary set of defined constants of CSR key IDs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The system time from CLOCK_REALTIME is not monotonic, hence problematic for the main user of the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl. This issue exists in its successor ABI, i.e. raw1394, too. http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/242 We now offer an alternative ioctl which lets the caller choose between CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as source of the local time, very similar to the clock_gettime libc function. The format of the local time return value matches that of clock_gettime (seconds and nanoseconds, instead of a single microseconds value from the existing ioctl).

In this configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on resuming or detaching from a debug session. Sequence of events in the problem case: 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior to a call to kgdb_handle_exception() 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() --> __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0; 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock" update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES" here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) --> __touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be set to 100s.) ... scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... } 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large jump and trips the softlockup warning. update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" = 180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... } note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp(this_cpu)" Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec? When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of get_timestamp() is: get_timestamp(this_cpu) -->cpu_clock(this_cpu) -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu) -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now) The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now" value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored. The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.

The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
