Convert to the much saner new idr interface.

v2: Stefan pointed out that add_client_resource() may be called from
    non-process context.  Preload iff @gfp_mask contains __GFP_WAIT.
    Also updated to include minor upper limit check.

<title>firewire: cdev: fix user memory corruption (i386 userland on amd64 kernel)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:790198f74c9d1b46b6a89504361b1a844670d050</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix two bugs of the /dev/fw* character device concerning the
FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl with nonzero fw_cdev_get_info.bus_reset.
(Practically all /dev/fw* clients issue this ioctl right after opening
the device.)

Both bugs are caused by sizeof(struct fw_cdev_event_bus_reset) being 36
without natural alignment and 40 with natural alignment.

 1) Memory corruption, affecting i386 userland on amd64 kernel:
    Userland reserves a 36 bytes large buffer, kernel writes 40 bytes.
    This has been first found and reported against libraw1394 if
    compiled with gcc 4.7 which happens to order libraw1394's stack such
    that the bug became visible as data corruption.

 2) Information leak, affecting all kernel architectures except i386:
    4 bytes of random kernel stack data were leaked to userspace.

Hence limit the respective copy_to_user() to the 32-bit aligned size of
struct fw_cdev_event_bus_reset.

<title>firewire: core: fix DMA mapping direction</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b6c4857f7684f6d3f59e0506f62953575346978</id>
<content type='text'>
Seen with recent libdc1394:  If a client mmap()s the buffer of an
isochronous reception buffer with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE instead of just
PROT_READ, firewire-core sets the wrong DMA mapping direction during
buffer initialization.

The fix is to split fw_iso_buffer_init() into allocation and DMA mapping
and to perform the latter after both buffer and DMA context were
allocated.  Buffer allocation and context allocation may happen in any
order, but we need the context type (reception or transmission) in order
to set the DMA direction of the buffer.

<title>firewire: allow explicit flushing of iso packet completions</title>

Extend the kernel and userspace APIs to allow reporting all currently
completed isochronous packets, even if the next interrupt packet has not
yet been reached.  This is required to determine the status of the
packets at the end of a paused or stopped stream, and useful for more
precise synchronization of audio streams.

<title>firewire: prevent dropping of completed iso packet header data</title>

<content type='text'>
The buffer for the header data of completed iso packets has a fixed
size, so it is possible to configure a stream with a big interval
between interrupt packets or with big headers so that this buffer would
overflow.  Previously, ohci.c would drop any data that would not fit,
but this could make unsuspecting applications believe that fewer than
the actual number of packets have completed.

Instead of dropping data, add calls to flush_iso_completion() so that
there are as many events as needed to report all of the data.

<title>firewire: core: prefix log messages with card name</title>

Associate all log messages from firewire-core with the respective card
because some people have more than one card.  E.g.
    firewire_ohci 0000:04:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_ohci 0000:05:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 1, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 0814438400000389, S800
    firewire_core: phy config: new root=ffc1, gap_count=5
    firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 0814438400000388, S800
    firewire_core: created device fw2: GUID 0001d202e06800d1, S800
turns into
    firewire_ohci 0000:04:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_ohci 0000:05:00.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 1, 8 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x0
    firewire_core 0000:04:00.0: created device fw0: GUID 0814438400000389, S800
    firewire_core 0000:04:00.0: phy config: new root=ffc1, gap_count=5
    firewire_core 0000:05:00.0: created device fw1: GUID 0814438400000388, S800
    firewire_core 0000:04:00.0: created device fw2: GUID 0001d202e06800d1, S800

This increases the module size slightly; to keep this in check, turn the
former printk wrapper macros into functions.  Their implementation is
largely copied from driver core's dev_printk counterparts.

<title>firewire: cdev: fix 32 bit userland on 64 bit kernel compat corner cases</title>

Clemens points out that we need to use compat_ptr() in order to safely
cast from u64 to addresses of a 32-bit usermode client.

Before, our conversion went wrong
  - in practice if the client cast from pointer to integer such that
    sign-extension happened, (libraw1394 and libdc1394 at least were not
    doing that, IOW were not affected)
or
  - in theory on s390 (which doesn't have FireWire though) and on the
    tile architecture, regardless of what the client does.
The bug would usually be observed as the initial get_info ioctl failing
with "Bad address" (EFAULT).

<title>firewire: cdev: prevent race between first get_info ioctl and bus reset event queuing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:93b37905f70083d6143f5f4dba0a45cc64379a62</id>
<content type='text'>
Between open(2) of a /dev/fw* and the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO
ioctl(2) on it, the kernel already queues FW_CDEV_EVENT_BUS_RESET events
to be read(2) by the client.  The get_info ioctl is practically always
issued right away after open, hence this condition only occurs if the
client opens during a bus reset, especially during a rapid series of bus
resets.

The problem with this condition is twofold:

  - These bus reset events carry the (as yet undocumented) @closure
    value of 0.  But it is not the kernel's place to choose closures;
    they are privat to the client.  E.g., this 0 value forced from the
    kernel makes it unsafe for clients to dereference it as a pointer to
    a closure object without NULL pointer check.

  - It is impossible for clients to determine the relative order of bus
    reset events from get_info ioctl(2) versus those from read(2),
    except in one way:  By comparison of closure values.  Again, such a
    procedure imposes complexity on clients and reduces freedom in use
    of the bus reset closure.

So, change the ABI to suppress queuing of bus reset events before the
first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl was issued by the client.

Note, this ABI change cannot be version-controlled.  The kernel cannot
distinguish old from new clients before the first FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO
ioctl.

We will try to back-merge this change into currently maintained stable/
longterm series, and we only document the new behaviour.  The old
behavior is now considered a kernel bug, which it basically is.
