The spec was fairly confusing about how multi-part transmit messages
worked, so the original implementation only added support for two
part messages. But after talking about it with others and finding
something I missed, I think it makes more sense.
The spec mentions smbus command 8 in a table at the end of the
section on SSIF support as the end transaction. If that works,
then all is good and as it should be. However, some implementations
seem to use a middle transaction <32 bytes tomark the end because of the
confusion in the spec, even though that is an SMBus violation if
the number of bytes is zero.
So this change adds some tests, if command=8 works, it uses that,
otherwise if an empty end transaction works, it uses a middle
transaction <32 bytes to mark the end. If neither works, then
it limits the size to 63 bytes as it is now.

getnstimeofday64() is deprecated because of the inconsistent naming,
it is only a wrapper around ktime_get_real_ts64() now, which could be
used as a direct replacement.
However, it is generally better to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamps
where possible, to avoid glitches with a concurrent settimeofday()
or leap second.
The uses in ipmi are either for debugging prints or for comparing against
a prior timestamp, so using a monotonic ktime_get_ts64() is probably
best here.

Shifting unsigned char b by an int type can lead to sign-extension
overflow. For example, if b is 0xff and the shift is 24, then top
bit is sign-extended so the final value passed to writeq has all
the upper 32 bits set. Fix this by casting b to a 64 bit unsigned
before the shift.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

During code inspection, I found an use-after-free possibility during unloading
ipmi_si in the polling mode.
If start_new_msg() is called after kthread_stop(), the function will try to
wake up non-existing kthread using the dangling pointer.
Possible scenario is when a new internal message is generated after
ipmi_unregister_smi()[*1] and remains after stop_timer_and_thread()
in clenaup_one_si() [*2].
Use-after-free could occur as follows depending on BMC replies.
cleanup_one_si
=> ipmi_unregister_smi
[*1]
=> stop_timer_and_thread
=> kthread_stop(smi_info->thread)
[*2]
=> poll
=> smi_event_handler
=> start_new_msg
=> if (smi_info->thread)
wake_up_process(smi_info->thread) <== use-after-free!!
Although currently it seems no such message is generated in the polling mode,
some changes might introduce that in thefuture. For example in the interrupt
mode, disable_si_irq() does that at [*2].
So let's prevent such a critical issue possibility now.

System may crash after unloading ipmi_si.ko module
because a timer may remain and fire after the module cleaned up resources.
cleanup_one_si() contains the following processing.
/*
* Make sure that interrupts, the timer and the thread are
* stopped and will not run again.
*/
if (to_clean->irq_cleanup)
to_clean->irq_cleanup(to_clean);
wait_for_timer_and_thread(to_clean);
/*
* Timeouts are stopped, now make sure the interrupts are off
* in the BMC. Note that timers and CPU interrupts are off,
* so no need for locks.
*/
while (to_clean->curr_msg || (to_clean->si_state != SI_NORMAL)) {
poll(to_clean);
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1);
}
si_state changes as following in the while loop calling poll(to_clean).
SI_GETTING_MESSAGES
=> SI_CHECKING_ENABLES
=> SI_SETTING_ENABLES
=> SI_GETTING_EVENTS
=> SI_NORMAL
As written in the code comments above,
timers are expected to stop before the polling loop and not to run again.
But the timer is set again in the following process
when si_state becomes SI_SETTING_ENABLES.
=> poll
=> smi_event_handler
=> handle_transaction_done
// smi_info->si_state == SI_SETTING_ENABLES
=> start_getting_events
=> start_new_msg
=> smi_mod_timer
=> mod_timer
As a result, before the timer set in start_new_msg() expires,
the polling loop may see si_state becoming SI_NORMAL
and the module clean-up finishes.
For example, hard LOCKUP and panic occurred as following.
smi_timeout was called after smi_event_handler,
kcs_event and hangs at port_inb()
trying to access I/O port after release.

To fix the problem I defined a flag, timer_can_start,

The flag is enabled immediately after initializing the timer
and disabled immediately before waiting for timer deletion.

This is a fairly large rework of the IPMI code, along with a bunch
of smaller fixes. The major changes have been in the next tree for
a couple of months, so they should be good to do in.
- Some users had IPMI systems where the GUID of the IPMI controller
could change. So rescanning of the GUID was added. The naming of
some sysfs things was dependent on the GUID, however, so this
resulted in the sysfs interface code in IPMI changing to remove that
dependency and name the IPMI BMCs like other sysfs devices.
- The ipmi_si_intf.c code was fairly bloated with all the different
discovery methods (PCI, ACPI, SMBIOS, OF, platform, module parameters,
hot add). The structure of how the interfaces were added was redone
to make them more modular, then the individual methods were pulled
out into their own files.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
