This is not required for the module signing key, although it doesn't do any
harm — it just means that any additional certs in the PEM file are also
trusted by the kernel.
But it does allow us to use the extract-cert tool for processing the extra
certs from CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS, instead of that horrid awk|base64
hack.
Also cope with being invoked with no input file, creating an empty output
file as a result.

Make sign-file use the OpenSSL CMS routines to generate a message to be
used as the signature blob instead of the PKCS#7 routines. This allows us
to change how the matching X.509 certificate is selected. With PKCS#7 the
only option is to match on the serial number and issuer fields of an X.509
certificate; with CMS, we also have the option of matching by subjectKeyId
extension. The new behaviour is selected with the "-k" flag.
Without the -k flag specified, the output is pretty much identical to the
PKCS#7 output.
Whilst we're at it, don't include the S/MIME capability list in the message
as it's irrelevant to us.

Make the -d option (which currently isn't actually wired to anything) write
out the PKCS#7 message as per the -p option and then exit without either
modifying the source or writing out a compound file of the source, signature
and metadata.
This will be useful when firmware signature support is added
upstream as firmware will be left intact, and we'll only require
the signature file. The descriptor is implicit by file extension
and the file's own size.

Move to using PKCS#7 messages as module signatures because:
(1) We have to be able to support the use of X.509 certificates that don't
have a subjKeyId set. We're currently relying on this to look up the
X.509 certificate in the trusted keyring list.
(2) PKCS#7 message signed information blocks have a field that supplies the
data required to match with the X.509 certificate that signed it.
(3) The PKCS#7 certificate carries fields that specify the digest algorithm
used to generate the signature in a standardised way and the X.509
certificates specify the public key algorithm in a standardised way - so
we don't need our own methods of specifying these.
(4) We now have PKCS#7 message support in the kernel for signed kexec purposes
and we can make use of this.
To make this work, the old sign-file script has been replaced with a program
that needs compiling in a previous patch. The rules to build it are added
here.

Provide a utility that:
(1) Digests a module using the specified hash algorithm (typically sha256).
[The digest can be dumped into a file by passing the '-d' flag]
(2) Generates a PKCS#7 message that:
(a) Has detached data (ie. the module content).
(b) Is signed with the specified private key.
(c) Refers to the specified X.509 certificate.
(d) Has an empty X.509 certificate list.
[The PKCS#7 message can be dumped into a file by passing the '-p' flag]
(3) Generates a signed module by concatenating the old module, the PKCS#7
message, a descriptor and a magic string. The descriptor contains the
size of the PKCS#7 message and indicates the id_type as PKEY_ID_PKCS7.
(4) Either writes the signed module to the specified destination or renames
it over the source module.
This allows module signing to reuse the PKCS#7 handling code that was added
for PE file parsing for signed kexec.
Note that the utility is written in C and must be linked against the OpenSSL
crypto library.
Note further that I have temporarily dropped support for handling externally
created signatures until we can work out the best way to do those. Hopefully,
whoever creates the signature can give me a PKCS#7 certificate.

An ANY object in an ASN.1 grammar that is marked OPTIONAL should be skipped
if there is no more data to be had.
This can be tested by editing X.509 certificates or PKCS#7 messages to
remove the NULL from subobjects that look like the following:
SEQUENCE {

NULL();
}
This is an algorithm identifier plus an optional parameter.
The modified DER can be passed to one of:

In an ASN.1 description where there is a CHOICE construct that contains
elements with IMPLICIT tags that refer to constructed types, actions to be
taken on those elements should be conditional on the corresponding element
actually being matched. Currently, however, such actions are performed
unconditionally in the middle of processing the CHOICE.
For example, look at elements 'b' and 'e' here:
A ::= SEQUENCE {
CHOICE {
b [0] IMPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b }),
c [1] EXPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_c }),
d [2] EXPLICIT B ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_d }),
e [3] IMPLICIT C ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e }),
f [4] IMPLICIT INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_f })
}
} ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_A })
B ::= SET OF OBJECT IDENTIFIER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_oid })
C ::= SET OF INTEGER ({ do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_int })
They each have an action (do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_b and do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e) that
should only be processed if that element is matched.
The problem is that there's no easy place to hang the action off in the
subclause (type B for element 'b' and type C for element 'e') because
subclause opcode sequences can be shared.
To fix this, introduce a conditional action opcode(ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT) that
the decoder only processes if the preceding match was successful. This can
be seen in an excerpt from the output of the fixed ASN.1 compiler for the
above ASN.1 description:
[ 13] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // e
[ 14] = _tagn(CONT, CONS, 3),
[ 15] = _jump_target(45), // --> C
[ 16] = ASN1_OP_MAYBE_ACT,
[ 17] = _action(ACT_do_XXXXXXXXXXXX_e),
In this, if the op at [13] is matched (ie. element 'e' above) then the
action at [16] will be performed. However, if the op at [13] doesn't match
or is skipped because it is conditional and some previous op matched, then
the action at [16] will be ignored.
Note that to make this work in the decoder, the ASN1_OP_RETURN op must set
the flag to indicate that a match happened. This is necessary because the
_jump_target() seen above introduces a subclause (in this case an object of
type 'C') which is likely to alter the flag. Setting the flag here is okay
because to process a subclause, a match must have happened and caused a
jump.
This cannot be tested with the code as it stands, but rather affects future
code.

Fix the handling of CHOICE types in the ASN.1 compiler to make SEQUENCE and
SET elements in a CHOICE be correctly rendered as skippable and conditional
as appropriate.
For example, in the following ASN.1:
Foo ::= SEQUENCE { w1 INTEGER, w2 Bar, w3 OBJECT IDENTIFIER }
Bar ::= CHOICE {
x1 Seq1,
x2 [0] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING,
x3 Seq2,
x4 SET OF INTEGER
}
Seq1 ::= SEQUENCE { y1 INTEGER, y2 INTEGER, y3 INTEGER }
Seq2 ::= SEQUENCE { z1 BOOLEAN, z2 BOOLEAN, z3 BOOLEAN }
the output in foo.c generated by:
./scripts/asn1_compiler foo.asn1 foo.c foo.h
included:
// Bar
// Seq1
[ 4] = ASN1_OP_MATCH,
[ 5] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ),
...
[ 13] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_OR_SKIP, // x2
[ 14] = _tagn(CONT, PRIM, 0),
// Seq2
[ 15] = ASN1_OP_MATCH,
[ 16] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ),
...
[ 24] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x4
[ 25] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SET),
...
[ 27] = ASN1_OP_COND_FAIL,
as a result of the CHOICE - but this is wrong on lines 4 and 15 because
both of these should be skippable (one and only one of the four can be
picked) and the one on line 15 should also be conditional so that it is
ignored if anything before it matches.
After the patch, it looks like:
// Bar
// Seq1
[ 4] = ASN1_OP_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x1
[ 5] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ),
...
[ 7] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_OR_SKIP, // x2
[ 8] = _tagn(CONT, PRIM, 0),
// Seq2
[ 9] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x3
[ 10] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ),
...
[ 12] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x4
[ 13] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SET),
...
[ 15] = ASN1_OP_COND_FAIL,
where all four options are skippable and the second, third and fourth are
all conditional, as is the backstop at the end.
This hasn't been a problem so far because in the ASN.1 specs we have are
either using primitives or are using SET OF and SEQUENCE OF which are
handled correctly.
Whilst we're at it, also make sure that element labels get included in
comments in the output for elements that have complex types.
This cannot be tested with the code as it stands, but rather affects future
code.

The tilegx and tilepro compilers use .coldtext for their unlikely
executed text section name, so an __attribute__((cold)) function
will (when compiled with higher optimization levels) land in
the .coldtext section.
Modify modpost to add .coldtext to the set of OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS
so we don't get warnings about referencing such a section in an
__ex_table block, and then also modify arch/tile/lib/memcpy_user_64.c
so that it uses plain ".coldtext" instead of ".coldtext.memcpy".
The latter naming is a relic of an earlier use of -ffunction-sections,
which we no longer use by default.

Device drivers typically use ACPI _HIDs/_CIDs listed in struct device_driver
acpi_match_table to match devices. However, for generic drivers, we do not
want to list _HID for all supported devices. Also, certain classes of devices
do not have _CID (e.g. SATA, USB). Instead, we can leverage ACPI _CLS,
which specifies PCI-defined class code (i.e. base-class, subclass and
programming interface). This patch adds support for matching ACPI devices using
the _CLS method.
To support loadable module, current design uses _HID or _CID to match device's
modalias. With the new way of matching with _CLS this would requires modification
to the current ACPI modalias key to include _CLS. This patch appends PCI-defined
class-code to the existing ACPI modalias as following.
acpi:<HID>:<CID1>:<CID2>:..:<CIDn>:<bbsspp>:
E.g:
# cat /sys/devices/platform/AMDI0600:00/modalias
acpi:AMDI0600:010601:
where bb is th base-class code, ss is te sub-class code, and pp is the
programming interface code
Since there would not be _HID/_CID in the ACPI matching table of the driver,
this patch adds a field to acpi_device_id to specify the matching _CLS.
static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = {
{ ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) },
{},
};
In this case, the corresponded entry in modules.alias file would be:
alias acpi*:010601:* ahci_platform

Many lines of code extend beyond the maximum line length. Some of these
are possibly justified by use type.
For instance:
structure definitions where comments are added per member like:
struct foo {
type member; /* some long description */
And lines that don't fit the typical logging message style
where a string constant is used like:
SOME_MACRO(args, "Some long string");
Categorize these long line types so that checkpatch can use a command-line
--ignore=<type> option to avoid emitting some long line warnings.
One of the existing checkpatch exclusions allowed kernel-doc argument
documentation to exceed 80 columns because old versions of kernel-doc
required single line documentation. The requirement was removed in 2009
so remove that exclusion.
Add documentation to make the test a bit clearer.

String detection where a source line with a string constant is converted
can either have an X or a space.
Some of the string detection regexes do not allow the space character, but
there is a handy $String variable that does.
Convert the remaining uses of string detection regexes to use the $String
variable to reduce possible false negatives.

checkpatch uses various cues in its input patches and files to discover
the names of user-defined types and modifiers. It then uses that
information when processing expressions to discover potential style
issues.
Unfortunately, in rare cases, this means that checkpatch may give
different results if you run it on several input files in one execution,
or one by one!
The reason is that it may identify a type (or something that looks like a
type) in one file, and then carry this information over when processing a
different file.
For example, drivers/staging/media/bcm2048/radio-bcm2048.c contains this
line (in a macro):
size value;
and drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/vpfe_video.c has this line:
while (size * *nbuffers > vpfe_dev->video_limit)
If checkpatch processes these 2 files in a single command like:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f $file1 $file2
the (spurious) "size" type detected in the first file will cause it to flag
the second file for improper use of the pointer dereference operator.
To fix this, store types and modifiers found in a file in separate arrays
from built-in ones, and reset the arrays of types and modifiers found in
files at the beginning of each new source file.
