      devlink: add flash update command · 76726ccb
      由 Jakub Kicinski 提交于 
      Add devlink flash update command. Advanced NICs have firmware
stored in flash and often cryptographically secured. Updating
that flash is handled by management firmware. Ethtool has a
flash update command which served us well, however, it has two
shortcomings:
 - it takes rtnl_lock unnecessarily - really flash update has
   nothing to do with networking, so using a networking device
   as a handle is suboptimal, which leads us to the second one:
 - it requires a functioning netdev - in case device enters an
   error state and can't spawn a netdev (e.g. communication
   with the device fails) there is no netdev to use as a handle
   for flashing.

Devlink already has the ability to report the firmware versions,
now with the ability to update the firmware/flash we will be
able to recover devices in bad state.

To enable updates of sub-components of the FW allow passing
component name.  This name should correspond to one of the
versions reported in devlink info.

v1: - replace target id with component name (Jiri).

      devlink: add version reporting to devlink info API · fc6fae7d
      由 Jakub Kicinski 提交于 
      ethtool -i has a few fixed-size fields which can be used to report
firmware version and expansion ROM version. Unfortunately, modern
hardware has more firmware components. There is usually some
datapath microcode, management controller, PXE drivers, and a
CPLD load. Running ethtool -i on modern controllers reveals the
fact that vendors cram multiple values into firmware version field.

Here are some examples from systems I could lay my hands on quickly:

tg3:  "FFV20.2.17 bc 5720-v1.39"
i40e: "6.01 0x800034a4 1.1747.0"
nfp:  "0.0.3.5 0.25 sriov-2.1.16 nic"

Add a new devlink API to allow retrieving multiple versions, and
provide user-readable name for those versions.

While at it break down the versions into three categories:
 - fixed - this is the board/fixed component version, usually vendors
           report information like the board version in the PCI VPD,
           but it will benefit from naming and common API as well;
 - running - this is the running firmware version;
 - stored - this is firmware in the flash, after firmware update
            this value will reflect the flashed version, while the
            running version may only be updated after reboot.

v3:
 - add per-type helpers instead of using the special argument (Jiri).
RFCv2:
 - remove the nesting in attr DEVLINK_ATTR_INFO_VERSIONS (now
   versions are mixed with other info attrs)l
 - have the driver report versions from the same callback as
   other info.

      devlink: add device information API · f9cf2288
      由 Jakub Kicinski 提交于 
      ethtool -i has served us well for a long time, but its showing
its limitations more and more. The device information should
also be reported per device not per-netdev.

Lay foundation for a simple devlink-based way of reading device
info. Add driver name and device serial number as initial pieces
of information exposed via this new API.

v3:
 - rename helpers (Jiri);
 - rename driver name attr (Jiri);
 - remove double spacing in commit message (Jiri).
RFC v2:
 - wrap the skb into an opaque structure (Jiri);
 - allow the serial number of be any length (Jiri & Andrew);
 - add driver name (Jonathan).

      License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license · e2be04c7
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
