UAPI headers licensed under GPL are supposed to have exception "WITH Linux-syscall-note" so that they can be included into non-GPL user space application code. The exception note is missing in some UAPI headers. Some of them slipped in by the treewide conversion commit b2441318 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license"). Just run: $ git show --oneline b2441318 -- arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/ I believe they are not intentional, and should be fixed too. This patch was generated by the following script: git grep -l --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \ -- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild | while read file do sed -i -e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \ -e '/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/(\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note)/g' \ -e '/[[:space:]]OR[[:space:]]/!{/[[:space:]]or[[:space:]]/!s/\(GPL-[^[:space:]]*\)/\1 WITH Linux-syscall-note/g}' $file done After this patch is applied, there are 5 UAPI headers that do not contain "WITH Linux-syscall-note". They are kept untouched since this exception applies only to GPL variants. $ git grep --not -e Linux-syscall-note --and -e SPDX-License-Identifier \ -- :arch/*/include/uapi/asm/*.h :include/uapi/ :^*/Kbuild include/uapi/drm/panfrost_drm.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */ include/uapi/linux/batman_adv.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */ include/uapi/linux/qemu_fw_cfg.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause */ include/uapi/linux/vbox_err.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */ include/uapi/linux/virtio_iommu.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause */ Signed-off-by: NMasahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

It's important for the driver to provide a R/W ioctl to ensure that two competing userspace processes don't race to provide or read each others data. This userspace character device will be used to perform SMBIOS calls from any applications. It provides an ioctl that will allow passing the WMI calling interface buffer between userspace and kernel space. This character device is intended to deprecate the dcdbas kernel module and the interface that it provides to userspace. To perform an SMBIOS IOCTL call using the character device userspace will perform a read() on the the character device. The WMI bus will provide a u64 variable containing the necessary size of the IOCTL buffer. The API for interacting with this interface is defined in documentation as well as the WMI uapi header provides the format of the structures. Not all userspace requests will be accepted. The dell-smbios filtering functionality will be used to prevent access to certain tokens and calls. All whitelisted commands and tokens are now shared out to userspace so applications don't need to define them in their own headers.

For WMI operations that are only Set or Query readable and writable sysfs attributes created by WMI vendor drivers or the bus driver makes sense. For other WMI operations that are run on Method, there needs to be a way to guarantee to userspace that the results from the method call belong to the data request to the method call. Sysfs attributes don't work well in this scenario because two userspace processes may be competing at reading/writing an attribute and step on each other's data. When a WMI vendor driver declares a callback method in the wmi_driver the WMI bus driver will create a character device that maps to that function. This callback method will be responsible for filtering invalid requests and performing the actual call. That character device will correspond to this path: /dev/wmi/$driver Performing read() on this character device will provide the size of the buffer that the character device needs to perform calls. This buffer size can be set by vendor drivers through a new symbol or when MOF parsing is available by the MOF. Performing ioctl() on this character device will be interpretd by the WMI bus driver. It will perform sanity tests for size of data, test them for a valid instance, copy the data from userspace and pass iton to the vendor driver to further process and run. This creates an implicit policy that each driver will only be allowed a single character device. If a module matches multiple GUID's, the wmi_devices will need to be all handled by the same wmi_driver. The WMI vendor drivers will be responsible for managing inappropriate access to this character device and proper locking on data used by it. When a WMI vendor driver is unloaded the WMI bus driver will clean up the character device and any memory allocated for the call.
