2024-09-27[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek outAl Viro1-1/+0
no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

2024-01-27treewide, serdev: change receive_buf() return type to size_tFrancesco Dolcini2-2/+2
receive_buf() is called from ttyport_receive_buf() that expects values ">= 0" from serdev_controller_receive_buf(), change its return type from ssize_t to size_t. The need for this clean-up was noticed while fixing a warning, see commit 94d053942544 ("Bluetooth: btnxpuart: fix recv_buf() return value"). Changing the callback prototype to return an unsigned seems the best way to document the API and ensure that is properly used. GNSS drivers implementation of serdev receive_buf() callback return directly the return value of gnss_insert_raw(). gnss_insert_raw() returns a signed int, however this is not an issue since the value returned is always positive, because of the kfifo_in() implementation. gnss_insert_raw() could be changed to return also an unsigned, however this is not implemented here as request by the GNSS maintainer Johan Hovold.

2020-05-13gnss: replace zero-length array with flexible-arrayGustavo A. R. Silva1-1/+1
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2019-05-06*: convert stream-like files from nonseekable_open -> stream_openKirill Smelkov1-1/+1
Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af3422 ("fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without deadlock"), search and convert to stream_open all in-kernel nonseekable_open users for which read and write actually do not depend on ppos and where there is no other methods in file_operations which assume @offset access. I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci limitations. The script also does not convert files that should be valid to convert, but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek for unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g. drivers/input/mousedev.c) Among cases converted 14 were potentially vulnerable to read vs write deadlock (see details in 10dce8af3422): drivers/char/pcmcia/cm4000_cs.c:1685:7-23: ERROR: cm4000_fops: .read() can deadlock .write();

Add driver for serial-connected Mediatek-based GNSS receivers. These devices typically boot transmitting vendor specific NMEA output sequences. The serial port bit rate is read from the device tree "current-speed". Note that the driver uses the generic GNSS serial implementation and therefore essentially only manages power abstracted into three power states: ACTIVE, STANDBY, and OFF. For mediatek receivers with a main supply and no enable-gpios, this simply means that the main supply is disabled in STANDBY and OFF (the optional backup supply is kept enabled while the driver is bound).

2018-06-28gnss: add driver for sirfstar-based receiversJohan Hovold3-0/+422
Add driver for serial-connected SiRFstar-based GNSS receivers. These devices typically boot into hibernate mode from which they can be woken using a pulse on the ON_OFF input pin. Once active, a pulse on the same ON_OFF pin is used to put the device back into hibernate mode. The current state can be determined by sampling the WAKEUP output. Hardware configurations where WAKEUP has been connected to ON_OFF (and where an initial WAKEUP pulse during boot is sufficient to have the device boot into active mode) are also supported. In this case, device power is managed using the main-supply regulator only. Note that configurations where WAKEUP is left not connected, so that the device power state can only indirectly be determined using the I/O interface, is currently not supported. It should be fairly straight-forward to extend the current implementation with such support however (and this this is the main reason for not using the generic serial implementation for this driver). Note that timepulse-support is left unimplemented. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

2018-06-28gnss: add GNSS receiver subsystemJohan Hovold3-0/+389
Add a new subsystem for GNSS (e.g. GPS) receivers. While GNSS receivers are typically accessed using a UART interface they often also support other I/O interfaces such as I2C, SPI and USB, while yet other devices use iomem or even some form of remote-processor messaging (rpmsg). The new GNSS subsystem abstracts the underlying interface and provides a new "gnss" class type, which exposes a character-device interface (e.g. /dev/gnss0) to user space. This allows GNSS receivers to have a representation in the Linux device model, something which is important not least for power management purposes. Note that the character-device interface provides raw access to whatever protocol the receiver is (currently) using, such as NMEA 0183, UBX or SiRF Binary. These protocols are expected to be continued to be handled by user space for the time being, even if some hybrid solutions are also conceivable (e.g. to have kernel drivers issue management commands). This will still allow for better platform integration by allowing GNSS devices and their resources (e.g. regulators and enable-gpios) to be described by firmware and managed by kernel drivers rather than platform-specific scripts and services. While the current interface is kept minimal, it could be extended using IOCTLs, sysfs or uevents as needs and proper abstraction levels are identified and determined (e.g. for device and feature identification).
