Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/parport/

2017-04-20T11:02:32+00:00

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a device to access or modify the kernel image. To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down. The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the default values for those parameters is. Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition to manually coded parameters. This patch annotates drivers in drivers/parport/. Suggested-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Sudip Mukherjee

parport: fix attempt to write duplicate procfiles

2017-03-16T08:32:21+00:00

Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single parallel port. And as a result we were having a nice warning like: "sysctl table check failed: /dev/parport/parport0/devices/ppdev0/timeslice Sysctl already exists" Use the same logic as used in parport_register_device() and register the proc files only once for each parallel port.

lib/vsprintf.c: remove %Z support

2017-02-28T02:43:47+00:00

Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z. Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller. Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers. In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which is in my opinion is quite an achievement. Hopefully this patch inspires someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

parport: use subsys_initcall

2016-04-30T20:56:46+00:00

The drivers which depends on parport may sometimes try to iniitialize and register with parport bus even before parport has actually registered with the device layer. The simplest solution is to mark the init function as subsys_initcall() and load the parport before the other drivers loads. Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
