This patch series adds partial read support via a new call request_partial_firmware_into_buf. Such support is needed when the whole file is not needed and/or only a smaller portion of the file will fit into allocated memory at any one time. In order to accept the enhanced API it has been requested that kernel selftests and upstreamed driver utilize the API enhancement and so are included in this patch series. Also in this patch series is the addition of a new Broadcom VK driver utilizing the new request_firmware_into_buf enhanced API. Further comment followed to add IMA support of the partial reads originating from request_firmware_into_buf calls. Changes from v8: - correct compilation error when CONFIG_FW_LOADER not defined Changes from v7: - removed swiss army knife kernel_pread_* style approach and simply add offset parameter in addition to those needed in kernel_read_* functions thus removing need for kernel_pread enum Changes from v6: - update ima_post_read_file check on IMA_FIRMWARE_PARTIAL_READ - adjust new driver i2c-slave-eeprom.c use of request_firmware_into_buf - remove an extern Changes from v5: - add IMA FIRMWARE_PARTIAL_READ support - change kernel pread flags to enum - removed legacy support from driver - driver fixes Changes from v4: - handle reset issues if card crashes - allow driver to have min required msix - add card utilization information Changes from v3: - fix sparse warnings - fix printf format specifiers for size_t - fix 32-bit cross-compiling reports 32-bit shifts - use readl/writel,_relaxed to access pci ioremap memory, removed memory barriers and volatile keyword with such change - driver optimizations for interrupt/poll functionalities Changes from v2: - remove unnecessary code and mutex locks in lib/test_firmware.c - remove VK_IOCTL_ACCESS_BAR support from driver and use pci sysfs instead - remove bitfields - remove Kconfig default m - adjust formatting and some naming based on feedback - fix error handling conditions - use appropriate return codes - use memcpy_toio instead of direct access to PCIE bar Scott Branden (8): fs: introduce kernel_pread_file* support firmware: add request_partial_firmware_into_buf test_firmware: add partial read support for request_firmware_into_buf firmware: test partial file reads of request_partial_firmware_into_buf bcm-vk: add bcm_vk UAPI misc: bcm-vk: add Broadcom VK driver MAINTAINERS: bcm-vk: add maintainer for Broadcom VK Driver ima: add FIRMWARE_PARTIAL_READ support MAINTAINERS | 7 + drivers/base/firmware_loader/firmware.h | 5 + drivers/base/firmware_loader/main.c | 79 +- drivers/misc/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/misc/Makefile | 1 + drivers/misc/bcm-vk/Kconfig | 29 + drivers/misc/bcm-vk/Makefile | 11 + drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk.h | 407 +++++ drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c | 1310 +++++++++++++++ drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c | 1440 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.h | 202 +++ drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_sg.c | 271 ++++ drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_sg.h | 60 + drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_tty.c | 352 ++++ fs/exec.c | 93 +- include/linux/firmware.h | 12 + include/linux/fs.h | 15 + include/uapi/linux/misc/bcm_vk.h | 99 ++ lib/test_firmware.c | 154 +- security/integrity/ima/ima_main.c | 24 +- .../selftests/firmware/fw_filesystem.sh | 80 + 21 files changed, 4599 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk.h create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.h create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_sg.c create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_sg.h create mode 100644 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_tty.c create mode 100644 include/uapi/linux/misc/bcm_vk.h -- 2.17.1
