scsi: core: Fix legacy /proc parsing buffer overflow
(lightly modified commit message mostly by Linus Torvalds)
The parsing code for /proc/scsi/scsi is disgusting and broken. We should have just used 'sscanf()' or something simple like that, but the logic may actually predate our kernel sscanf library routine for all I know. It certainly predates both git and BK histories.
And we can't change it to be something sane like that now, because the string matching at the start is done case-insensitively, and the separator parsing between numbers isn't done at all, so *any* separator will work, including a possible terminating NUL character.
This interface is root-only, and entirely for legacy use, so there is absolutely no point in trying to tighten up the parsing. Because any separator has traditionally worked, it's entirely possible that people have used random characters rather than the suggested space.
So don't bother to try to pretty it up, and let's just make a minimal patch that can be back-ported and we can forget about this whole sorry thing for another two decades.
Just make it at least not read past the end of the supplied data.

scsi: core: Introduce a new list for SCSI proc directory entries
Instead of using scsi_host_template members to track the SCSI proc directory entries, track these entries in a list. This changes the time needed for looking up the proc dir pointer from O(1) into O(n). This is considered acceptable since the number of SCSI host adapter types per host is usually small (less than ten).
This change has been tested by attaching two USB storage devices to a qemu host:
$ grep -aH . /proc/scsi/usb-storage/* /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Host scsi7: usb-storage /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Vendor: QEMU /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Product: QEMU USB HARDDRIVE /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7:Serial Number: 1-0000:00:02.1:00.0-6 /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Protocol: Transparent SCSI /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Transport: Bulk /proc/scsi/usb-storage/7: Quirks: SANE_SENSE /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Host scsi8: usb-storage /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Vendor: QEMU /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Product: QEMU USB HARDDRIVE /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8:Serial Number: 1-0000:00:02.1:00.0-7 /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Protocol: Transparent SCSI /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Transport: Bulk /proc/scsi/usb-storage/8: Quirks: SANE_SENSE
This commit prepares for constifying most SCSI host templates.

bus_find_device: Unify the match callback with class_find_device
There is an arbitrary difference between the prototypes of bus_find_device() and class_find_device() preventing their callers from passing the same pair of data and match() arguments to both of them, which is the const qualifier used in the prototype of class_find_device(). If that qualifier is also used in the bus_find_device() prototype, it will be possible to pass the same match() callback function to both bus_find_device() and class_find_device(), which will allow some optimizations to be made in order to avoid code duplication going forward. Also with that, constify the "data" parameter as it is passed as a const to the match function.
For this reason, change the prototype of bus_find_device() to match the prototype of class_find_device() and adjust its callers to use the const qualifier in accordance with the new prototype of it.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

scsi: disable automatic target scan
On larger installations it is useful to disable automatic LUN scanning, and only add the required LUNs via udev rules. This can speed up bootup dramatically.
This patch introduces a new scan module parameter value 'manual', which works like 'none', but can be overridden by setting the 'rescan' value from scsi_scan_target to 'SCSI_SCAN_MANUAL'. And it updates all relevant callers to set the 'rescan' value to 'SCSI_SCAN_MANUAL' if invoked via the 'scan' option in sysfs.

It's still an obsolete interface; don't introduce those in new drivers. However, it's saner than the ->proc_info() and commits after this one will convert the existing ->proc_info() users to it.
The read side is ->show_info(seq_file *, struct Scsi_Host *); use seq_... for generating contents.
The write side is ->write_info(struct Scsi_Host *, char *, int).
Again, this is driven by procfs needs; we are going to kill ->write_proc() and ->read_proc() and this is the main obstacle to burying that piece of shit.

[SCSI] iterate over devices individually for /proc/scsi/scsi
On systems with very large numbers (> 1600 or so) of SCSI devices, cat /proc/scsi/scsi ends up failing with -ENOMEM. This is due to the show routine simply iterating over all of the devices with bus_for_each_dev(), and trying to dump all of them into the buffer at the same time. On my test system (using scsi_debug with 4064 devices), the output ends up being ~ 632k, far more than kmalloc will typically allow.
This patch defines its own seq_file opreations to iterate over the scsi devices.The result is that each show() operation only dumps ~ 180 bytes into the buffer at a time so we don't run out of memory.
If the "Attached devices" header isn't required, we can dump the sfile->private bit completely.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

[SCSI] scsi_host_lookup: error returns and NULL pointers
This patch cleans up the behavior of scsi_host_lookup().
The original implementation attempted to use the dual role of either returning a pointer value, or a negative error code. User's needed to use IS_ERR() to check the result. Additionally, the IS_ERR() macro never checks for when a NULL pointer was returned, so a NULL pointer actually passes with a success case. Note: scsi_host_get(), used by scsi_host_lookup(), can return a NULL pointer.
Talk about a mudhole for the unitiated to step into....
This patch converts scsi_host_lookup() to return either NULL or a valid pointer. The consumers were updated for the change.
