* USB: otg: gpio_vbus transceiver stubPhilipp Zabel2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | gpio_vbus provides simple GPIO VBUS sensing for peripheral controllers with an internal transceiver. Optionally, a second GPIO can be used to control D+ pullup. It also interfaces with the regulator framework to limit charging currents when powered via USB. gpio_vbus requests the regulator supplying "vbus_draw" and can enable/disable it or limit its current depending on USB state.

* USB: storage devices and SATBen Efros2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the SANE SENSE flag to indicate that a device is capable of handling more than 18-bytes of sense data. This functionality is required for USB-ATA bridges implementing SAT. A future patch will actually enable this function for several devices. The logic behind this is that we can detect support for SANE_SENSE in a few ways: 1) ATA PASS THROUGH (12) or (16) execute successfully 2) SPC-3 or higher is in use 3) A previous CHECK CONDITION occurred with sense format 70-73 and had a length greater than 18-bytes total Signed-off-by: Ben Efros <ben@pc-doctor.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Dharm <mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* USB: Allow usbmon as a module even if usbcore is builtinPete Zaitcev2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | usbmon can only be built as a module if usbcore is a module too. Trivial changes to the relevant Kconfig and Makefile (and a few trivial changes elsewhere) allow usbmon to be built as a module even if usbcore is builtin. This is verified to work in all 9 permutations (3 correctly prohibited by Kconfig, 6 build a suitable result).

* USB: Introduce usb_queue_reset() to do resets from atomic contextsInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new call to be able to do a USB reset from an atomic contect. This is quite helpful in USB callbacks to handle errors (when the only thing that can be done is to do a device reset). It is done queuing a work struct that will do the actual reset. The struct is "attached" to an interface so pending requests from an interface are removed when said interface is unbound from the driver. The call flow then becomes: usb_queue_reset_device() __usb_queue_reset_device() [workqueue] usb_reset_device() usb_probe_interface() usb_cancel_queue_reset() [error path] usb_unbind_interface() usb_cancel_queue_reset() usb_driver_release_interface() usb_cancel_queue_reset() Note usb_cancel_queue_reset() needs smarts to try not to unqueue when it is actually being executed. This happens when we run the reset from the workqueue: usb_reset_device() is called and on interface unbind time, usb_cancel_queue_reset() would be called. That would deadlock on cancel_work_sync(). To avoid that, we set (before running usb_reset_device()) usb_intf->reset_running and clear it inmediately after returning. Patch is against 2.6.28-rc2 and depends on http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=122581634925308&w=2 (as submitted by Alan Stern).

| | | | | | | | | | | | The __SWAB_64_THRU_32__ case of a 64-bit byte swap was depending on the no-longer-existant ___swab32() method (three underscores). We got rid of some of the worst indirection and complexity, and now it should just use the 32-bit swab function that was defined right above it.

* byteorder: only use linux/swab.hHarvey Harrison2009-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first step to make swab.h a regular header that will include an asm/swab.h with arch overrides. Avoid the gratuitous differences introduced in the new linux/swab.h by naming the ___constant_swabXX bits and __fswabXX bits exactly as found in the old implementation in byteorder/swab[b].h Use this new swab.h in byteorder/[big|little]_endian.h and remove the two old swab headers. Although the inclusion of asm/byteorder.h looks strange in linux/swab.h, this will allow each arch to move the actual arch overrides for the swab bits in an asm file and then the includes can be cleaned up without requiring a flag day for all arches at once. Keep providing __fswabXX in case some userspace was using them directly, but the revised __swabXX should be used instead in any new code and will always do constant folding not dependent on the optimization level, which means the __constant versions can be phased out in-kernel. Arches that use the old-style arch macros will lose their optimized versions until they move to the new style, but at least they will still compile. Many arches have already moved and the patches to move the remaining arches are trivial.

There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current task. Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current point to the same set of creds. However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test, without affecting the creds as seen from other processes. One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores. The affected capability check is in generic_permission(): if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode)) if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE)) return 0; This change passes the set of credentials to be tested down into the commoncap and SELinux code. The security functions called by capable() and has_capability() select the appropriate set of credentials from the process being checked. This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite: /* * t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug. * * Written by Michael Kerrisk - copyright ownership not pursued. * Sourced from: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2003-10/6030.html */ #include <limits.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #define UID 500 #define GID 100 #define PERM 0 #define TESTPATH "/tmp/t_access" static void errExit(char *msg) { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* errExit */ static void accessTest(char *file, int mask, char *mstr) { printf("access(%s, %s) returns %d\n", file, mstr, access(file, mask)); } /* accessTest */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd, perm, uid, gid; char *testpath; char cmd[PATH_MAX + 20]; testpath = (argc > 1) ? argv[1] : TESTPATH; perm = (argc > 2) ? strtoul(argv[2], NULL, 8) : PERM; uid = (argc > 3) ? atoi(argv[3]) : UID; gid = (argc > 4) ? atoi(argv[4]) : GID; unlink(testpath); fd = open(testpath, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0); if (fd == -1) errExit("open"); if (fchown(fd, uid, gid) == -1) errExit("fchown"); if (fchmod(fd, perm) == -1) errExit("fchmod"); close(fd); snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "ls -l %s", testpath); system(cmd); if (seteuid(uid) == -1) errExit("seteuid"); accessTest(testpath, 0, "0"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK, "R_OK"); accessTest(testpath, W_OK, "W_OK"); accessTest(testpath, X_OK, "X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK, "R_OK | W_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, W_OK | X_OK, "W_OK | X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | W_OK | X_OK"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } /* main */ This can be run against an Ext3 filesystem as well as against an XFS filesystem.

A new security op - task_capable() - is introduced that can check any task's objective creds. strictly the capable() security op is superfluous with the presence of the task_capable() op, however it should be faster to call the capable() op since two fewer arguments need be passed down through the various layers. This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite: /* * t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug. * * Written by Michael Kerrisk - copyright ownership not pursued. * Sourced from: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2003-10/6030.html */ #include <limits.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #define UID 500 #define GID 100 #define PERM 0 #define TESTPATH "/tmp/t_access" static void errExit(char *msg) { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* errExit */ static void accessTest(char *file, int mask, char *mstr) { printf("access(%s, %s) returns %d\n", file, mstr, access(file, mask)); } /* accessTest */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd, perm, uid, gid; char *testpath; char cmd[PATH_MAX + 20]; testpath = (argc > 1) ? argv[1] : TESTPATH; perm = (argc > 2) ? strtoul(argv[2], NULL, 8) : PERM; uid = (argc > 3) ? atoi(argv[3]) : UID; gid = (argc > 4) ? atoi(argv[4]) : GID; unlink(testpath); fd = open(testpath, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0); if (fd == -1) errExit("open"); if (fchown(fd, uid, gid) == -1) errExit("fchown"); if (fchmod(fd, perm) == -1) errExit("fchmod"); close(fd); snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "ls -l %s", testpath); system(cmd); if (seteuid(uid) == -1) errExit("seteuid"); accessTest(testpath, 0, "0"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK, "R_OK"); accessTest(testpath, W_OK, "W_OK"); accessTest(testpath, X_OK, "X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK, "R_OK | W_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, W_OK | X_OK, "W_OK | X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | W_OK | X_OK"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } /* main */ This can be run against an Ext3 filesystem as well as against an XFS filesystem.

But it might still be possible to access this memory from userspace by other means. An example are PCI cards that advertise not only mappable memory but also ioport ranges. On x86 architectures, these can be accessed with ioperm, iopl, inb, outb, and friends. Mike Frysinger (CCed) reported a similar problem on Blackfin arch where it doesn't seem to be easy to mmap non-cached memory but it can still be accessed from userspace. This patch allows kernel drivers to pass information about such ports to userspace. Similar to the existing mem[] array, it adds a port[] array to struct uio_info. Each port range is described by start, size, and porttype. If a driver fills in at least one such port range, the UIO core will simply pass this information to userspace by creating a new directory "portio" underneath /sys/class/uio/uioN/. Similar to the "mem" directory, it will contain a subdirectory (portX) for each port range given. Note that UIO simply passes this information to userspace, it performs no action whatsoever with this data. It's userspace's responsibility to obtain access to these ports and to solve arch dependent issues. The "porttype" attribute tells userspace what kind of port it is dealing with. This mechanism could also be used to give userspace information about GPIOs related to a device. You frequently find such hardware in embedded devices, so I added a UIO_PORT_GPIO definition. I'm not really sure if this is a good idea since there are other solutions to this problem, but it won't hurt much anyway. Signed-off-by: Hans J.
