Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.

LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.

The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.

A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.

This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.

This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.

For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.

For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.

There were previous attempts to "merge" the toshiba SMM module to the
toshiba_acpi one, they were trying to imitate what the old toshiba
module does, however, some models (TOS1900 devices) come with a
"crippled" implementation and do not provide all the "features" a
"genuine" Toshiba BIOS does.

This patch adds a new device called toshiba_acpi, which aim is to
enable userspace to access the SMM on Toshiba laptops via ACPI calls.

Creating a new convenience _IOWR command to access the SCI functions
by opening/closing the SCI internally to avoid buggy BIOS, while at
the same time providing backwards compatibility.

Older programs (and new) who wish to access the SMM on newer models
can do it by pointing their path to /dev/toshiba_acpi (instead of
/dev/toshiba) as the toshiba.h header was modified to reflect these
changes as well as adds all the toshiba_acpi paths and command,
however, it is strongly recommended to use the new IOCTL for any
SCI command to avoid any buggy BIOS.

Userspace applications need to know the maximum supported message
size.

The cdc-wdm driver translates between a character device stream
and a message based protocol.  Each message is transported as a
usb control message with no further encapsulation or syncronization.
Each read or write on the character device should translate to
exactly one usb control message to ensure that message boundaries
are kept intact.  That means that the userspace application must
know the maximum message size supported by the device and driver,
making this size a vital part of the cdc-wdm character device API.

CDC WDM and CDC MBIM functions export the maximum supported
message size through CDC functional descriptors.  The cdc-wdm and
cdc_mbim drivers will parse these descriptors and use the value
chosen by the device.  The only current way for a userspace
application to retrive the value is by duplicating the descriptor
parsing. This is an unnecessary complex task, and application
writers are likely to postpone it, using a fixed value and adding
a "todo" item.

QMI functions have no way to tell the host what message size they
support.  The qmi_wwan driver use a fixed value based on protocol
recommendations and observed device behaviour.  Userspace
applications must know and hard code the same value.  This scheme
will break if we ever encounter a QMI device needing a device
specific message size quirk.  We are currently unable to support
such a device because using a non default size would break the
implicit userspace API.

The message size is currently a hidden attribute of the cdc-wdm
userspace API.  Retrieving it is unnecessarily complex, increasing
the possibility of drivers and applications using different limits.
The resulting errors are hard to debug, and can only be replicated
on identical hardware.

Exporting the maximum message size from the driver simplifies the
task for the userspace application, and creates a unified
information source independent of device and function class. It also
serves to document that the message size is part of the cdc-wdm
userspace API.

This proposed API extension has been presented for the authors of
userspace applications and libraries using the current API: libmbim,
libqmi, uqmi, oFono and ModemManager.  The replies were:

Aleksander Morgado:
 "We do really need max message size for MBIM; and as you say, it may be
  good to have the max message size info also for QMI, so the new ioctl
  seems a good addition. So +1 from my side, for what it's worth."

Dan Williams:
 "Yeah, +1 here.  I'd prefer the sysfs file, but the fact that that
  doesn't work for fd passing pretty much kills it."

No negative replies are so far received.

The original suggestion to delete wanrouter started earlier
with the mainline commit f0d1b3c2
("net/wanrouter: Deprecate and schedule for removal") in May 2012.

More importantly, Dan Carpenter found[1] that the driver had a
fundamental breakage introduced back in 2008, with commit
7be6065b ("netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of
netdev->priv").  So we know with certainty that the code hasn't been
used by anyone willing to at least take the effort to send an e-mail
report of breakage for at least 4 years.

This commit does a decouple of the wanrouter subsystem, by going
after the Makefile/Kconfig and similar files, so that these mainline
files that we are keeping do not have the big wanrouter file/driver
deletion commit tied into their history.

Once this commit is in place, we then can remove the obsolete cyclomx
drivers and similar that have a dependency on CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.

VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
and user level drivers.  VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access.  It's
intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
(in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
IOMMU).

New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
group merge interface.  We now go back to a model more similar to
original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
of model.  IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
vastly different interface requirements on different platforms.  VFIO
users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
choice.

and usage example.

This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures
relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h
to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h.  The new file has my copyright since I
designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s.
None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h
published by Carnegie Mellon University.

Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being
used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical).
Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line

#include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>

which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code.  Thus I have removed the
CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in
fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other
copyright notice.

Allows appropriately-privileged applications to send CMD (normal) and ACMD
(application-specific; preceded with CMD55) commands to cards/devices on
the mmc bus.  This is primarily useful for enabling the security
functionality built in to every SD card.

It can also be used as a generic passthrough (e.g. to enable virtual
machines to control mmc bus devices directly).  However, this use case has
not been tested rigorously.  Generic passthrough testing was only conducted
for a few non-security opcodes to prove the feasibility of the passthrough.

Since any opcode can be sent using this passthrough, it is very possible to
render the card/device unusable.  Applications that use this ioctl must
have CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
