rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interface

2017-01-18T18:43:15Z

This driver allows rpmsg instances to expose access to rpmsg endpoints to user space processes. It provides a control interface, allowing userspace to export endpoints and an endpoint interface for each exposed endpoint. The implementation is based on prior art by Texas Instrument, Google, PetaLogix and was derived from a FreeRTOS performance statistics driver written by Michal Simek. The control interface provides a "create endpoint" ioctl, which is fed a name, source and destination address. The three values are used to create the endpoint, in a backend-specific way, and a rpmsg endpoint device is created - with the three parameters are available in sysfs for udev usage. E.g. to create an endpoint device for one of the Qualcomm SMD channel related to DIAG one would issue: struct rpmsg_endpoint_info info = { "DIAG_CNTL", 0, 0 }; int fd = open("/dev/rpmsg_ctrl0", O_RDWR); ioctl(fd, RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL, &info); Each created endpoint device shows up as an individual character device in /dev, allowing permission to be controlled on a per-endpoint basis. The rpmsg endpoint will be created and destroyed following the opening and closing of the endpoint device, allowing rpmsg backends to open and close the physical channel, if supported by the wire protocol.

doc: ioctl: Add some clarifications to botching-up-ioctls

2016-09-06T12:00:22Z

- The guide currently says to pad the structure to a multiple of 64-bits. This is not necessary in cases where the structure contains no 64-bit types. Clarify this concept to avoid unnecessary padding. - When using __u64 to hold user pointers, blindly trying to do a cast to a void __user * may generate a warning on 32-bit systems about a cast from an integer to a pointer of different size. There is a macro to deal with this which hides an ugly double cast. Add a reference to this macro. Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

nilfs2: move ioctl interface and disk layout to uapi separately

2016-08-02T23:35:21Z

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user space programs. This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor changes are accompanied by this migration: - nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure. - inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.

cdrom: support read sub-channel command in LBA format

2016-07-12T15:24:50Z

userspace application can send READ_SUB_CHANNEL command with time bit enabled and disabled. The time bit allows selection of address reporting format. If the time bit is disabled the response is in logical block address(CDROM_LBA) format, represented as a 32-bit integer with ms-byte first. If the time bit is enabled the response is in time format i.e., minutes, second, frame (CDROM_MSF) format.
