[Bluetooth] Allow security for outgoing L2CAP connections
When requested the L2CAP layer will now enforce authentication and
encryption on outgoing connections. The usefulness of this feature
is kinda limited since it will not allow proper connection ownership
tracking until the authentication procedure has been finished. This
is a limitation of Bluetooth 2.0 and before and can only be fixed by
using Simple Pairing.
[Bluetooth] Add option to disable eSCO connection creation
It has been reported that some eSCO capable headsets are not able to
connect properly. The real reason for this is unclear at the moment. So
for easier testing add a module parameter to disable eSCO connection
creation.
[Bluetooth] Signal user-space for HIDP and BNEP socket errors
When using the HIDP or BNEP kernel support, the user-space needs to
know if the connection has been terminated for some reasons. Wake up
the application if that happens. Otherwise kernel and user-space are
no longer on the same page and weird behaviors can happen.
[Bluetooth] Move pending packets from RFCOMM socket to TTY
When an incoming RFCOMM socket connection gets converted into a TTY,
it can happen that packets are lost. This mainly happens with the
Handsfree profile where the remote side starts sending data right
away. The problem is that these packets are in the socket receive
queue. So when creating the TTY make sure to copy all pending packets
from the socket receive queue to a private queue inside the TTY.
To make this actually work, the flow control on the newly created TTY
will be disabled and only enabled again when the TTY is opened by an
application. And right before that, the pending packets will be put
into the TTY flip buffer.
[Bluetooth] Store remote modem status for RFCOMM TTY
When switching a RFCOMM socket to a TTY, the remote modem status might
be needed later. Currently it is lost since the original configuration
is done via the socket interface. So store the modem status and reply
it when the socket has been converted to a TTY.
[Bluetooth] Use non-canonical TTY by default for RFCOMM
While the RFCOMM TTY emulation can act like a real serial port, in
reality it is not used like this. So to not mess up stupid applications,
use the non-canonical mode by default.
[Bluetooth] Use a more unique bus name for connections
When attaching Bluetooth low-level connections to the bus, the bus name
is constructed from the remote address since at that time the connection
handle is not assigned yet. This has worked so far, but also caused a
lot of troubles. It is better to postpone the creation of the sysfs
entry to the time when the connection actually has been established
and then use its connection handle as unique identifier.
This also fixes the case where two different adapters try to connect
to the same remote device.
[Bluetooth] Add support for TIOCOUTQ and TIOCINQ ioctls
Almost every protocol family supports the TIOCOUTQ and TIOCINQ ioctls
and even Bluetooth could make use of them. When implementing audio
streaming and integration with GStreamer or PulseAudio they will allow
a better timing and synchronization.
[Bluetooth] Add timestamp support to L2CAP, RFCOMM and SCO
Enable the common timestamp functionality that the network subsystem
provides for L2CAP, RFCOMM and SCO sockets. It is possible to either
use SO_TIMESTAMP or the IOCTLs to retrieve the timestamp of the
current packet.
[Bluetooth] Export details about authentication requirements
With the Simple Pairing support, the authentication requirements are
an explicit setting during the bonding process. Track and enforce the
requirements and allow higher layers like L2CAP and RFCOMM to increase
them if needed.
This patch introduces a new IOCTL that allows to query the current
authentication requirements. It is also possible to detect Simple
Pairing support in the kernel this way.
[Bluetooth] Initiate authentication during connection establishment
With Bluetooth 2.1 and Simple Pairing the requirement is that any new
connection needs to be authenticated and that encryption has been
switched on before allowing L2CAP to use it. So make sure that all
the requirements are fulfilled and otherwise drop the connection with
a minimal disconnect timeout of 10 milliseconds.
This change only affects Bluetooth 2.1 devices and Simple Pairing
needs to be enabled locally and in the remote host stack. The previous
changes made sure that these information are discovered before any
kind of authentication and encryption is triggered.
[Bluetooth] Use ACL config stage to retrieve remote features
The Bluetooth technology introduces new features on a regular basis
and for some of them it is important that the hardware on both sides
support them. For features like Simple Pairing it is important that
the host stacks on both sides have switched this feature on. To make
valid decisions, a config stage during ACL link establishment has been
introduced that retrieves remote features and if needed also the remote
extended features (known as remote host features) before signalling
this link as connected.
This change introduces full reference counting of incoming and outgoing
ACL links and the Bluetooth core will disconnect both if no owner of it
is present. To better handle interoperability during the pairing phase
the disconnect timeout for incoming connections has been increased to
10 seconds. This is five times more than for outgoing connections.
[Bluetooth] Track status of remote Simple Pairing mode
The Simple Pairing process can only be used if both sides have the
support enabled in the host stack. The current Bluetooth specification
has three ways to detect this support.
If an Extended Inquiry Result has been sent during inquiry then it
is safe to assume that Simple Pairing is enabled. It is not allowed
to enable Extended Inquiry without Simple Pairing. During the remote
name request phase a notification with the remote host supported
features will be sent to indicate Simple Pairing support. Also the
second page of the remote extended features can indicate support for
Simple Pairing.
For all three cases the value of remote Simple Pairing mode is stored
in the inquiry cache for later use.
The Simple Pairing feature is optional and needs to be enabled by the
host stack first. The Linux kernel relies on the Bluetooth daemon to
either enable or disable it, but at any time it needs to know the
current state of the Simple Pairing mode. So track any changes made
by external entities and store the current mode in the HCI device
structure.
[Bluetooth] Disable disconnect timer during Simple Pairing
During the Simple Pairing process the HCI disconnect timer must be
disabled. The way to do this is by holding a reference count of the
HCI connection. The Simple Pairing process on both sides starts with
an IO Capabilities Request and ends with Simple Pairing Complete.
[Bluetooth] Update class of device value whenever possible
The class of device value can only be retrieved via inquiry or during
an incoming connection request. Outgoing connections can't ask for the
class of device. To compensate for this the value is stored and copied
via the inquiry cache, but currently only updated via inquiry. This
update should also happen during an incoming connection request.
[Bluetooth] Make use of the default link policy settings
The Bluetooth specification supports the default link policy settings
on a per host controller basis. For every new connection the link
manager would then use these settings. It is better to use this instead
of bothering the controller on every connection setup to overwrite the
default settings.
The connection packet type can be changed after the connection has been
established and thus needs to be properly tracked to ensure that the
host stack has always correct and valid information about it.
On incoming connections the Bluetooth core switches the supported packet
types to the configured list for this controller. However the usefulness
of this feature has been questioned a lot. The general consent is that
every Bluetooth host stack should enable as many packet types as the
hardware actually supports and leave the decision to the link manager
software running on the Bluetooth chip.
When running on Bluetooth 2.0 or later hardware, don't change the packet
type for incoming connections anymore. This hardware likely supports
Enhanced Data Rate and thus leave it completely up to the link manager
to pick the best packet type.
[Bluetooth] Support the case when headset falls back to SCO link
When trying to establish an eSCO link between two devices then it can
happen that the remote device falls back to a SCO link. Currently this
case is not handled correctly and the message dispatching will break
since it is looking for eSCO packets. So in case the configured link
falls back to SCO overwrite the link type with the correct value.
[Bluetooth] Update authentication status after successful encryption
The authentication status is not communicated to both parties. This is
actually a flaw in the Bluetooth specification. Only the requesting side
really knows if the authentication was successful or not. This piece of
information is however needed on the other side to know if it has to
trigger the authentication procedure or not. Worst case is that both
sides will request authentication at different times, but this should
be avoided since it costs extra time when setting up a new connection.
For Bluetooth encryption it is required to authenticate the link first
and the encryption status is communicated to both sides. So when a link
is switched to encryption it is possible to update the authentication
status since it implies an authenticated link.
[Bluetooth] Disconnect when encryption gets disabled
The Bluetooth specification allows to enable or disable the encryption
of an ACL link at any time by either the peer or the remote device. If
a L2CAP or RFCOMM connection requested an encrypted link, they will now
disconnect that link if the encryption gets disabled. Higher protocols
that don't care about encryption (like SDP) are not affected.
[Bluetooth] Enforce security for outgoing RFCOMM connections
Recent tests with various Bluetooth headsets have shown that some of
them don't enforce authentication and encryption when connecting. All
of them leave it up to the host stack to enforce it. Non of them should
allow unencrypted connections, but that is how it is. So in case the
link mode settings require authentication and/or encryption it will now
also be enforced on outgoing RFCOMM connections. Previously this was
only done for incoming connections.
This support has a small drawback from a protocol level point of view
since the host stack can't really tell with 100% certainty if a remote
side is already authenticated or not. So if both sides are configured
to enforce authentication it will be requested twice. Most Bluetooth
chips are caching this information and thus no extra authentication
procedure has to be triggered over-the-air, but it can happen.
[Bluetooth] Change retrieval of L2CAP features mask
Getting the remote L2CAP features mask is really important, but doing
this as less intrusive as possible is tricky. To play nice with older
systems and Bluetooth qualification testing, the features mask is now
only retrieved in two specific cases and only once per lifetime of an
ACL link.
When trying to establish a L2CAP connection and the remote features mask
is unknown, the L2CAP information request is sent when the ACL link goes
into connected state. This applies only to outgoing connections and also
only for the connection oriented channels.
The second case is when a connection request has been received. In this
case a connection response with the result pending and the information
request will be send. After receiving an information response or if the
timeout gets triggered, the normal connection setup process with security
setup will be initiated.

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding

The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value

avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a

Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

lib: taint kernel in common report_bug() WARN path.
Commit 95b570c9cef3b12356454c7112571b7e406b4b51 ("Taint kernel after
WARN_ON(condition)") introduced a TAINT_WARN that was implemented for
all architectures using the generic warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded
any architecture that set HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.
As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.
Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.

rtc-x1205: Fix alarm set
I have discovered that the current version of rtc-x1205.c does not work
correctly when asked to set the alarm time by the RTC_WKALM_SET ioctl()
call. This happens because the alarm registers do not behave like the
current-time registers. They are non-volatile. Two things go wrong:
- the X1205 requires a 10 msec delay after any attempt to write to the
non-volatile registers. The x1205_set_datetime() routine does the write
as 8 single-byte writes without any delay. Only the first write
succeeds. The second is NAKed because the chip is busy.
- the X1205 resets the RWEL bit after any write to the non-volatile
registers. This would lock out any further writes after the first even
with a 10msec delay.
I fix this by doing a single 8-byte write and then waiting 10msec for the
chip to be ready. A side effect of this change is that it will speed up
x1205_rtc_set_time() which uses the same code.
I have also implemented the 'enable' bit in the rtc_wkalm structure, which
the existing driver does not attempt to do. I have modified both
x1205_rtc_set_alarm() to set the AL0E bit, and x1205_rtc_read_alarm() to
return it.
I have tested this patch on a LinkSys NSLU2 under OpenWRT, but on no other
hardware. On the NSLU2 the X1205 correctly asserts its IRQ pin when the
alarm time matches the current time.

It oopses if you suspend a serial port with _dynamic_ major number. ATM,

rtc: rtc_read_alarm() handles wraparound
While 0e36a9a4a788e4e92407774df76c545910810d35 ("rtc: fix readback from
/sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarm") made sure that active alarms were never
returned with invalid "wildcard" fields (negative), it can still report
(wrongly) that the alarm triggers in the past.
Example, if it's now 10am, an alarm firing at 5am will be triggered
TOMORROW not today. (Which may also be next month or next year...)
This updates that alarm handling in three ways:
* Handle alarm rollover in the common cases of RTCs that don't
support matching on all date fields.
* Skip the invalid-field logic when it's not needed.
* Minor bugfix ... tm_isdst should be ignored, it's one of the
fields Linux doesn't maintain.
A warning is emitted for some of the unhandled rollover cases, but the
possible combinations are a bit too numerous to handle every bit of
potential hardware and firmware braindamage.

mm: dirty page accounting vs VM_MIXEDMAP
Dirty page accounting accurately measures the amound of dirty pages in
writable shared mappings by mapping the pages RO (as indicated by
vma_wants_writenotify). We then trap on first write and call
set_page_dirty() on the page, after which we map the page RW and
continue execution.
When we launder dirty pages, we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() which
clears both the dirty flag, and maps the page RO again before we start
writeout so that the story can repeat itself.
vma_wants_writenotify() excludes VM_PFNMAP on the basis that we cannot
do the regular dirty page stuff on raw PFNs and the memory isn't going
anywhere anyway.
The recently introduced VM_MIXEDMAP mixes both !pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid() pages in a single mapping.
We can't do dirty page accounting on !pfn_valid() pages as stated
above, and mapping them RO causes them to be COW'ed on write, which
breaks VM_SHARED semantics.
Excluding VM_MIXEDMAP in vma_wants_writenotify() would mean we don't do
the regular dirty page accounting for the pfn_valid() pages, which
would bring back all the head-aches from inaccurate dirty page
accounting.
So instead, we let the !pfn_valid() pages get mapped RO, but fix them
up unconditionally in the fault path.
