This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the
lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to
handle copy_to_user() return values.
The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at
several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return
value was meant to indicate an error.
Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an
errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative]
value as a valid amount of bytes read. Obvious damage ensues.
Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the
existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to
more easily indicate errors during operation.

Eliminate irq->card lookup table, by properly passing the card pointer
via request_irq() like other drivers.
Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".
The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
it's not always available.
I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

The interresting part of it is the "virtual address 00200200", which is
LIST_POISON2. I thought about some race condition, but as this is an UP
system, it leads to questions on how it can happen. If we look at EFLAGS:
00010202, we see that interrupts are enabled at the time of the crash
(eflags & 0x200).
Finally, I don't understand all the capi code, but I think that
handle_minor_send() is racing somehow against capi_recv_message(), which
call both capiminor_del_ack(). So if an IRQ occurs in the middle of
capiminor_del_ack() and another instance of it is invoked, it leads to
linked list corruption.
I came up with the following patch. With this, I could not reproduce the
crash anymore. Clearly, this is not the correct fix for the issue. As this
seems to be some locking issue, there might be more locking issues in that
code. For example, doesn't the whole struct capiminor have to be locked
somehow?

isdn_writebuf_stub() forgets to detect memory allocation and uaccess errors.
And when that's fixed, if a error happens the caller will just keep on
looping.
So change the caller to detect the error, and to return it.
