Because there is no bulk_interrupt_message() routine and no
USBDEVFS_INTERRUPT ioctl, people have been forced to abuse the
usb_bulk_message() routine and USBDEVFS_BULK by using them for interrupt
transfers as well as bulk transfers.
This patch (as567) formalizes this practice and adds code to
usb_bulk_message() for detecting when the target is really an interrupt
endpoint. If it is, the routine submits an interrupt URB (using the
default interval) instead of a bulk URB. In theory this should help HCDs
that don't like it when people try to mix transfer types, queuing both
periodic and non-periodic types for the same endpoint.
Not fully tested -- I don't have any programs that use USBDEVFS_BULK for
interrupt transfers -- but it compiles okay and normal bulk messages work
as well as before.

The PCI "early usb handoff" quirk logic didn't work like "ohci-hcd" ...
This patch makes it do so by:
- Resetting the controller after kicking BIOS off, matching the
normal "chip in hardware reset" startup mode;
- Reporting any BIOS that borks this simple handoff; it's likely
got a few other surprises for us too.
- Ignoring that handoff on HPPA;
The diagnostic string is mostly shared with EHCI, saving a few bytes.

This simplifies the OHCI root hub suspend logic:
- Uses new usbcore root hub calls to make autosuspend work again:
* Uses a newish usbcore root hub wakeup mechanism,
making requests to khubd not keventd.
* Uses an even newer sibling suspend hook.
- Expect someone always made usbcore call ohci_hub_suspend() before bus
glue fires; and that ohci_hub_resume() is only called after that bus
glue ran. Previously, only CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND promised those things.
(Includes updates to PCI and OMAP bus glue.)
- Handle a not-noticed-before special case during resume from one of
the swsusp snapshots when using "usb-handoff": the controller isn't
left in RESET state. (A bug to fix in the usb-handoff code...)
Also cleans up a minor debug printk glitch, and switches an mdelay over
to an msleep (how did that stick around for so long?).

This patch associates hub suspend and resume logic (including for root hubs)
with CONFIG_PM -- instead of CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND as before -- thereby unifying
two troublesome versions of suspend logic into just one. It'll be easier to
keep things right from now on.
- Now usbcore _always_ calls hcd->hub_suspend as needed, instead of
only when USB_SUSPEND is enabled:
* Those root hub methods are now called from hub suspend/resume;
no more skipping between layers during device suspend/resume;
* It now handles cases allowed by sysfs or autosuspended root hubs,
by forcing the hub interface to resume too.
- All devices, including virtual root hubs, now get the same treatment
on their resume paths ... including re-activating all their interfaces.
Plus it gets rid of those stub copies of usb_{suspend,resume}_device(), and
updates the Kconfig to match the new definition of USB_SUSPEND: it provides
(a) selective suspend, downstream from hubs; and (b) remote wakeup, upstream
from any device configuration which supports it.
This calls for minor followup patches for most HCDs (and their PCI glue).

This patch collects various small updates related to root hubs, to shrink
later patches which build on them.
- For root hub suspend/resume support:
* Make the existing usb_hcd_resume_root_hub() routine respect pmcore
locking, exporting and using the dpm_runtime_resume() method.
* Add a new usb_hcd_suspend_root_hub() to pair with that routine.
(Essential to make OHCI autosuspend behave again...)
* HC_SUSPENDED by itself only refers to the root hub's downstream ports.
So let HCDs see root hub URBs unless the parent device is suspended.
- Remove an assertion we no longer need (and now, also don't want).
- Generic suspend/resume updates to work better with swsusp.
* Ignore the FREEZE vs SUSPEND distinction for hardware; trying to
use it breaks the swsusp snapshots it's supposed to help (sigh).
* On resume, mark devices as resumed right away, but then
do nothing else if the device is marked NOTATTACHED.
These changes shouldn't be very noticable by themselves.

This patch removes the extra usb_suspend_device() parameter. The original
reason to pass that parameter was so that this routine could suspend any
active children. A previous patch removed that functionality ... leaving
no reason to pass the parameter. A close analogy is pci_set_power_state,
which doesn't need a pm_message_t either.
On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter
is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not
suspend. It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs:
attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

This patch removes some recursion in the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND logic, which
suspended children (of devices or hubs) that weren't already suspended.
When it sees such cases, suspend now just fails cleanly.
That logic was not needed during system-wide sleep state transitions; and
given the current notions of how to manage selective suspend transitions,
we don't want it there either. Where it was particularly handy was coping
with various limitations of the sysfs "echo -n N > power/state" support.
(These include assuming that "N" is always meaningful to the driver; and
that drivers can only transition to state N from state zero.)

This updates the handling of power state for USB interfaces.
- Formalizes an existing invariant: interface "power state" is a boolean:
ON when I/O is allowed, and FREEZE otherwise. It does so by defining
some inlined helpers, then using them.
- Adds a useful invariant: the only interfaces marked active are those
bound to non-suspended drivers. Later patches build on this invariant.
- Simplifies the interface driver API (and removes some error paths) by
removing the requirement that they record power state changes during
suspend and resume callbacks. Now usbcore does that.
A few drivers were simplified to address that last change.

Patch from Ian Campbell
The sparse warning initially surfaced in sound/arm/pxa2xx-ac97.c
because it was using u32 * variables to hold the unsigned long *
register addresses.
I submitted an ALSA patch for this http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/27804 issue and it was suggested that it might be preferable to change the register
definitions to use u32.
Most other subarches seem to use u32 for their register type, at least
the ones which use a __REG macro (like the PXA) do. Nico indicated in
the thread above that he wouldn't mind this patch.
Changing the type required fixes for opposite warnings in the pxa2xx usb

During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of
Highspeed HID devices in the kernel.
What happened?
Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the
kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are
received by the kernel.
The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't
even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB
transfer are polled by the host).
After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason.
In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in
driver/usb/input/hid-core.c:
line 1669:
/* handle potential highspeed HID correctly */
interval = endpoint->bInterval;
if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
interval = 1 << (interval - 1);
Basically this calculation is correct (refer to USB 2.0 spec, 9.6.6).
This new calculated value of "interval" is used as input for
usb_fill_int_urb:
line 1685:
usb_fill_int_urb(hid->urbin, dev, pipe, hid->inbuf, 0,
hid_irq_in, hid, interval);
Unfortunately the same calculation as above is done a second time in
usb_fill_int_urb in the file include/linux/usb.h:
line 933:
if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
urb->interval = 1 << (interval - 1);
else
urb->interval = interval;
This means, that if the endpoint descriptor (of a high speed device)
specifies e.g. bInterval = 7, the urb->interval gets the value:
hid-core.c: interval = 1 << (7-1) = 0x40 = 64
urb->interval = 1 << (interval -1) = 1 << (63) = integer overflow
Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is
rejected in core/urb.c:
line 353:
/* too small? */
if (urb->interval <= 0)
return -EINVAL;
The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is
necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is
simply wrong. ;-)
Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the
most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from
hid-core.c.
Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling
usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed
re-calculation in this file.

All the same issues - we can't just save the pointer to the thread, we
must save the pid/uid/euid combination.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.
In fact, there are three separate issues:
1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.
2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.
3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
and we can no longer send it a signal.
So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.
