Merge tag 'usb-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb

2017-05-05T01:03:51Z

Pull USB updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big USB patchset for 4.12-rc1. Lots of good stuff here, after many many many attempts, the kernel finally has a working typeC interface, many thanks to Heikki and Guenter and others who have taken the time to get this merged. It wasn't an easy path for them at all. There's also a staging driver that uses this new api, which is why it's coming in through this tree. Along with that, there's the usual huge number of changes for gadget drivers, xhci, and other stuff. Johan also finally refactored pretty much every driver that was looking at USB endpoints to do it in a common way, which will help prevent any "badly-formed" devices from causing problems in drivers. That too wasn't a simple task. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'usb-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (263 commits) staging: typec: Fairchild FUSB302 Type-c chip driver staging: typec: Type-C Port Controller Interface driver (tcpci) staging: typec: USB Type-C Port Manager (tcpm) usb: host: xhci: remove #ifdef around PM functions usb: musb: don't mark of_dev_auxdata as initdata usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack USB: Revert "cdc-wdm: fix "out-of-sync" due to missing notifications" usb: Make sure usb/phy/of gets built-in USB: storage: e-mail update in drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h usb: host: xhci: print correct command ring address usb: host: xhci: delete sp_dma_buffers for scratchpad usb: host: xhci: using correct specification chapter reference for DCBAAP xhci: switch to pci_alloc_irq_vectors usb: host: xhci-plat: set resume_quirk() for R-Car controllers usb: host: xhci-plat: add resume_quirk() usb: host: xhci-plat: enable clk in resume timing usb: host: plat: Enable xHCI plat runtime PM USB: serial: ftdi_sio: add device ID for Microsemi/Arrow SF2PLUS Dev Kit USB: serial: constify static arrays usb: fix some references for /proc/bus/usb ...

lib/string: add sysfs_match_string helper

2017-03-23T12:48:44Z

Make a simple helper for matching strings with sysfs attribute files. In most parts the same as match_string(), except sysfs_match_string() uses sysfs_streq() instead of strcmp() for matching. This is more convenient when used with sysfs attributes.

strscpy: zero any trailing garbage bytes in the destination

2015-10-06T18:53:18Z

It's possible that the destination can be shadowed in userspace (as, for example, the perf buffers are now). So we should take care not to leak data that could be inspected by userspace. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

string: provide strscpy()

2015-09-10T19:36:59Z

The strscpy() API is intended to be used instead of strlcpy(), and instead of most uses of strncpy(). - Unlike strlcpy(), it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size). - Unlike strlcpy() or strncpy(), the API provides an easy way to check for destination buffer overflow: an -E2BIG error return value. - The provided implementation is robust in the face of the source buffer being asynchronously changed during the copy, unlike the current implementation of strlcpy(). - Unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will be NUL-terminated if the string in the source buffer is too long. - Also unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will not be updated beyond the NUL termination, avoiding strncpy's behavior of zeroing the entire tail end of the destination buffer. (A memset() after the strscpy() can be used if this behavior is desired.) - The implementation should be reasonably performant on all platforms since it uses the asm/word-at-a-time.h API rather than simple byte copy. Kernel-to-kernel string copy is not considered to be performance critical in any case. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

lib/string.c: introduce strreplace()

2015-06-26T00:00:40Z

Strings are sometimes sanitized by replacing a certain character (often '/') by another (often '!'). In a few places, this is done the same way Schlemiel the Painter would do it. Others are slightly smarter but still do multiple strchr() calls. Introduce strreplace() to do this using a single function call and a single pass over the string. One would expect the return value to be one of three things: void, s, or the number of replacements made. I chose the fourth, returning a pointer to the end of the string. This is more likely to be useful (for example allowing the caller to avoid a strlen call).

lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination

2015-05-04T09:49:51Z

In commit 0b053c951829 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually find out it could be elimiated as dead store. While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc, and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset(). A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report, which is regarded as not-a-bug. Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm. The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better to be pedantic about it. It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing, not so with barrier_data() variant: static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count) { memset(s, 0, count); barrier_data(s); } int main(void) { char buff[20]; memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff)); return 0; } $ gcc -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0000000000400400 <+0>: lea -0x28(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400405 <+5>: movq $0x0,-0x28(%rsp) 0x000000000040040e <+14>: movq $0x0,-0x20(%rsp) 0x0000000000400417 <+23>: movl $0x0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x000000000040041f <+31>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400421 <+33>: retq End of assembler dump. $ clang -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x00000000004004f0 <+0>: xorps %xmm0,%xmm0 0x00000000004004f3 <+3>: movaps %xmm0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x00000000004004f8 <+8>: movl $0x0,-0x8(%rsp) 0x0000000000400500 <+16>: lea -0x18(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400505 <+21>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400507 <+23>: retq End of assembler dump. As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which does not support gcc inline asm.
