Guenter Roeck d1ed3ba4e3 watchdog: Ensure that wdd is not dereferenced if NULL
Smatch rightfully complains that wdd is dereferenced in the watchdog
release function after being checked for NULL. Also make sure that it
is not accessed outside mutex protection to avoid use-after-free problems.

Guenter Roeck d0684c8a93 watchdog: Make stop function optional
Not all hardware watchdogs can be stopped. The driver for
such watchdogs would typically only set the WATCHDOG_HW_RUNNING
flag in its stop function. Make the stop function optional and set
WATCHDOG_HW_RUNNING in the watchdog core if it is not provided.

Guenter Roeck ee142889e3 watchdog: Introduce WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag
The WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag is expected to be set by watchdog drivers if
the hardware watchdog is running. If the flag is set, the watchdog
subsystem will ping the watchdog even if the watchdog device is closed.

The watchdog driver stop function is now optional and may be omitted
if the watchdog can not be stopped. If stopping the watchdog is not
possible but the driver implements a stop function, it is responsible
to set the WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag in its stop function.

Guenter Roeck 664a39236e watchdog: Introduce hardware maximum heartbeat in watchdog core
Introduce an optional hardware maximum heartbeat in the watchdog core.
The hardware maximum heartbeat can be lower than the maximum timeout.

Drivers can set the maximum hardware heartbeat value in the watchdog data
structure. If the configured timeout exceeds the maximum hardware heartbeat,
the watchdog core enables a timer function to assist sending keepalive
requests to the watchdog driver.

Guenter Roeck fb32e9b9de watchdog: Make set_timeout function optional
For some watchdogs, the watchdog driver handles timeout changes without
explicitly setting any registers. In this situation, the watchdog driver
might only set the 'timeout' variable but do nothing else.
This can as well be handled by the infrastructure, so make the set_timeout
callback optional. If WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is configured but the .set_timeout
callback is not available, update the timeout variable in the
infrastructure code.

Guenter Roeck faa584757b watchdog: Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributes
The Zodiac watchdog driver attaches additional sysfs attributes to the
watchdog device. This has a number of problems: The watchdog device
lifetime differs from the driver lifetime, and the device structure
should therefore not be accessed from drivers. Also, creating sysfs
attributes after driver registration results in a potential race condition
if user space expects the attributes to exist but they don't exist yet.

Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributes to the watchdog
core to solve the problems.

Guenter Roeck b4ffb19098 watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetime
All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are
currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those
variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime
of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of
struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers
can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog
core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory.

While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers
to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone,
often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly.

To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables
in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables
associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with
the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track
of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks
in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in
struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer
visible in watchdog drivers.

As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail
with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character
device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some
situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective.
With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister
a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping.

The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer
used and marked as deprecated.

Guenter Roeck 32ecc63926 watchdog: Create watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c
The watchdog character device is currently created in watchdog_dev.c,
and the watchdog device in watchdog_core.c. This results in
cross-dependencies, since device creation needs to know the watchdog
character device number as well as the watchdog class, both of which
reside in watchdog_dev.c.

Create the watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c to simplify the code.

Inspired by earlier patch set from Damien Riegel.

Pratyush Anand 33b711269a watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributes
This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface
to read its different status.

* state - reads whether device is active or not
* identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string.
* timeout - reads current timeout.
* timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset
* bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot
* status - reads watchdog device's  internal status bits
* nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not

Testing with iTCO_wdt:
 # cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/
 # ls
bootstatus  dev  device  identity  nowayout  power  state
subsystem  timeleft  timeout  uevent
 # cat identity
iTCO_wdt
 # cat timeout

 # cat state

 # echo > /dev/watchdog1
 # cat timeleft

Hector Palacios fcf95670fd watchdog: core: don't try to stop device if not running
A watchdog device may be stopped from userspace using WDIOC_SETOPTIONS
ioctl and flag WDIOS_DISABLECARD. If the device is closed after this
operation, watchdog_release() is called and status bits checked for
stopping it. Besides, if the device has not been unregistered a critical
message "watchdog did not stop!" is printed, although the ioctl may have
successfully stopped it already.

Without the patch a user application sample code like this will successfully
stop the watchdog, but the kernel will output the message
"watchdog did not stop!":

	wd_fd = open("/dev/watchdog", O_RDWR);

	flags = WDIOS_DISABLECARD;
	ioctl(wd_fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, &flags);

	close(wd_fd);

Guenter Roeck 60403f7a4d watchdog: Fix race condition in registration code
A race condition exists when registering the first watchdog device.
Sequence of events:

- watchdog_register_device calls watchdog_dev_register
- watchdog_dev_register creates the watchdog misc device by calling
  misc_register.
  At that time, the matching character device (/dev/watchdog0) does not yet
  exist, and old_wdd is not set either.
- Userspace gets an event and opens /dev/watchdog
- watchdog_open is called and sets wdd = old_wdd, which is still NULL,
  and tries to dereference it. This causes the kernel to panic.

Seen with systemd trying to open /dev/watchdog immediately after
it was created.

In commit 7a87982420 we added
a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results
however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the
driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not
according to the API that says that when we don't support
the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value.
Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an
error.

Hans de Goede e907df3272 watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structs
If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated
struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough,
even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device,
examples:
1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd
2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog

I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle
them correctly.

The fix for this consists of 2 parts:
1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct
   holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any
   open filehandles referring to it are closed
2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not
   do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each
   driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog
   core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after
   the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the
   bulk of this patch.

Hans de Goede f4e9c82f64 watchdog: Add Locking support
This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only
allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get
called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread,
or could share the fd after a fork.

This causes 2 potential problems:
1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear,
   if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active
   bit indicates it is running or visa versa.

2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one
   watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary
   true atm.
