      Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/scsi/ · 88f06b76
      David Howells 提交于
      When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
      prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image.  Whilst this
      includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
      access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
      device to access or modify the kernel image.
      
      To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
      configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
      specify.  The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
      skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
      The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
      default values for those parameters is.
      
      Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
      drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
      some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
      to manually coded parameters.
      
      This patch annotates drivers in drivers/scsi/.
