hidraw and uhid device nodes are always available for writing so we should
always report EPOLLOUT and EPOLLWRNORM bits, not only in the cases when
there is nothing to read.

Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af34
("fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write
can run simultaneously without deadlock"), search and convert to
stream_open all in-kernel nonseekable_open users for which read and
write actually do not depend on ppos and where there is no other methods
in file_operations which assume @offset access.
I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert -
and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct
to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci
limitations. The script also does not convert files that should be valid to
convert, but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek
for unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.
drivers/input/mousedev.c)
Among cases converted 14 were potentially vulnerable to read vs write deadlock
(see details in 10dce8af34):

and the rest were just safe to convert to stream_open because their read and
write do not use ppos at all and corresponding file_operations do not
have methods that assume @offset file access(*):

One can also recheck/review the patch via generating it with explanation comments included via
$ make coccicheck MODE=patch COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci SPFLAGS="-D explain"
(*) This second group also contains cases with read/write deadlocks that
stream_open.cocci don't yet detect, but which are still valid to convert to
stream_open since ppos is not used. For example drivers/pci/switch/switchtec.c
calls wait_for_completion_interruptible() in its .read, but stream_open.cocci
currently detects only "wait_event*" as blocking.

This reverts commit 336fd4f5f2.
Please note that `strlcpy()` does *NOT* do what you think it does.
strlcpy() *ALWAYS* reads the full input string, regardless of the
'length' parameter. That is, if the input is not zero-terminated,
strlcpy() will *READ* beyond input boundaries. It does this, because it
always returns the size it *would* copy if the target was big enough,
not the truncated size it actually copied.
The original code was perfectly fine. The hid device is
zero-initialized and the strncpy() functions copied up to n-1
characters. The result is always zero-terminated this way.
This is the third time someone tried to replace strncpy with strlcpy in
this function, and gets it wrong. I now added a comment that should at
least make people reconsider.

When a UHID_CREATE command is written to the uhid char device, a
copy_from_user() is done from a user pointer embedded in the command.
When the address limit is KERNEL_DS, e.g. as is the case during
sys_sendfile(), this can read from kernel memory. Alternatively,
information can be leaked from a setuid binary that is tricked to write
to the file descriptor. Therefore, forbid UHID_CREATE in these cases.
No other commands in uhid_char_write() are affected by this bug and
UHID_CREATE is marked as "obsolete", so apply the restriction to
UHID_CREATE only rather than to uhid_char_write() entirely.
Thanks to Dmitry Vyukov for adding uhid definitions to syzkaller and to
Jann Horn for commit 9da3f2b740 ("x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess
helpers fault on kernel addresses"), allowing this bug to be found.

Although HID itself is transport-agnostic, occasionally a driver may
want to interact with the low-level transport that a device is connected
through. To do this, we need to know what kind of bus is in use. The
first guess may be to look at the 'bus' field of the 'struct hid_device',
but this field may be emulated in some cases (e.g. uhid).
More ideally, we can check which ll_driver a device is using. This
function introduces a 'hid_is_using_ll_driver' function and makes the
'struct hid_ll_driver' of the four most common transports accessible
through hid.h.

Many devices use userspace bluetooth stacks like BlueZ or Bluedroid in combination
with uhid. If any of these stacks is used with a HID device for which the driver
performs a HID request as part .probe (or technically another HID operation),
this results in a deadlock situation. The deadlock results in a 5 second timeout
for I/O operations in HID drivers, so isn't fatal, but none of the I/O operations
have a chance of succeeding.
The root cause for the problem is that uhid only allows for one request to be
processed at a time per uhid instance and locks out other operations. This means
that if a user space is creating a new HID device through 'UHID_CREATE', which
ultimately triggers '.probe' through the HID layer. Then any HID request e.g. a
read for calibration data would trigger a HID operation on uhid again, but it
won't go out to userspace, because it is still stuck in UHID_CREATE.
In addition bluetooth stacks are typically single threaded, so they wouldn't be
able to handle any requests while waiting on uhid.
Lucikly the UHID spec is somewhat flexible and allows for fixing the issue,
without breaking user space. The idea which the patch implements as discussed
with David Herrmann is to decouple adding of a hid device (which triggers .probe)
from UHID_CREATE. The work will kick off roughly once UHID_CREATE completed (or
else will wait a tiny bit of time in .probe for a lock). A HID driver has to call
HID to call 'hid_hw_start()' as part of .probe once it is ready for I/O, which
triggers UHID_START to user space. Any HID operations should function now within
.probe and won't deadlock because userspace is stuck on UHID_CREATE.
We verified this patch on Bluedroid with Android 6.0 and on desktop Linux with
BlueZ stacks. Prior to the patch they had the deadlock issue.

When uhid_get_report() or uhid_set_report() are called, they emit on the
char device a UHID_GET_REPORT or UHID_SET_REPORT message. Then, the
protocol says that the user space asnwers with UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY
or UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY.
Unfortunatelly, the current code waits for an event of type UHID_GET_REPORT
or UHID_SET_REPORT instead of the reply one.

reply, and validate the reply.

This makes UHID_START include a "dev_flags" field that describes details
of the hid-device in the kernel. The first flags we introduce describe
whether a given report-type uses numbered reports. This is useful for
transport layers that force report-numbers and therefore might have to
prefix kernel-provided HID-messages with the report-number.
Currently, only HoG needs this and the spec only talks about "global
report numbers". That is, it's a global boolean not a per-type boolean.
However, given the quirks we already have in kernel-space, a per-type
value seems much more appropriate.

We so far lacked support for hid_hw_raw_request(..., HID_REQ_SET_REPORT);
Add support for it and simply forward the request to user-space. Note that
SET_REPORT is synchronous, just like GET_REPORT, even though it does not
provide any data back besides an error code.
If a transport layer does SET_REPORT asynchronously, they can just ACK it
immediately by writing an uhid_set_report_reply to uhid.
This patch re-uses the synchronous uhid-report infrastructure to query
user-space. Note that this means you cannot run SET_REPORT and GET_REPORT
in parallel. However, that has always been a restriction of HID and due to
its blocking nature, this is just fine. Maybe some future transport layer
supports parallel requests (very unlikely), however, until then lets not
over-complicate things and avoid request-lookup-tables.

The old hdev->hid_get_raw_report() was broken by design. It was never
clear what kind of HW request it should trigger. Benjamin fixed that with
the core HID cleanup, though we never really adjusted uhid.
Unfortunately, our old UHID_FEATURE command was modelled around the broken
hid_get_raw_report(). We converted it silently to the new GET_REPORT and
nothing broke. Make this explicit by renaming UHID_FEATURE to
UHID_GET_REPORT and UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER to UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY.
Note that this is 100% ABI compatible to UHID_FEATURE. This is just a
rename. But we have to keep the old definitions around to not break API.
>From now on, UHID_GET_REPORT must trigger a GET_REPORT request on the
user-space hardware layer. All the ambiguity due to the weird "feature"
name should be gone now.

The report-query is blocking, so when user-space destroys a device we have
to wake up any blocking kernel context that is currently in the report-cb.
We used some broken correlation between @report_done and @running so far.
Replace it by a much more obvious use.
We now wake up the report-cb if either @report_done or @running is set.
wake_up() and wait_event() serve as implicit barriers (as they always do)
so no need to use smp_rmb/wmb directly.
Note that @report_done is never reset by anyone but the report-cb, thus
it cannot flip twice while we wait for it. And whenever we set @running,
we afterwards synchronously remove the HID device. Therefore, we wait for
all report-cbs to finish before we return. This way, @running can never
flip to true while we wait for it.

UHID_CREATE2:
HID report descriptor data (rd_data) is an array in struct uhid_create2_req,
instead of a pointer. Enables use from languages that don't support pointers,
e.g. Python.
UHID_INPUT2:
Data array is the last field of struct uhid_input2_req. Enables userspace to
write only the required bytes to kernel (ev.type + ev.u.input2.size + the part
of the data array that matters), instead of the entire struct uhid_input2_req.
Note:
UHID_CREATE2 increases the total size of struct uhid_event slightly, thus
increasing the size of messages that are queued for userspace. However, this
won't affect the userspace processing of these events.

HID standard allows sending a feature request to the device which is
answered by an HID report. uhid implements this by sending a UHID_FEATURE
event to user-space which then must answer with UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER. If it
doesn't do this in a timely manner, the request is discarded silently.
We serialize the feature requests, that is, there is always only a single
active feature-request sent to user-space, other requests have to wait.
HIDP and USB-HID do it the same way.
Because we discard feature-requests silently, we must make sure to match
a response to the corresponding request. We use sequence-IDs for this so
user-space must copy the ID from the request into the answer.
Feature-answers are ignored if they do not contain the same ID as the
currently pending feature request.
Internally, we must make sure that feature-requests are synchronized with
UHID_DESTROY and close() events. We must not dead-lock when closing the
HID device, either, so we have to use separate locks.
