  • Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
    the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
    fall-through markings when it is the case.

  • All watchdog drivers implement the same set of ioctl commands, and
    fortunately all of them are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit
    architectures.

    Modern drivers always go through drivers/watchdog/wdt.c as an abstraction
    layer, but older ones implement their own file_operations on a character
    device for this.

    Move the handling from fs/compat_ioctl.c into the individual drivers.

    Note that most of the legacy drivers will never be used on 64-bit
    hardware, because they are for an old 32-bit SoC implementation, but
    doing them all at once is safer than trying to guess which ones do
    or do not need the compat_ioctl handling.

  • Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af3422
    ("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 10dce8af3422):

    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.

  • In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases
    where we are expecting to fall through.

    Notice that in this particular case I replaced "Fall" with a proper
    "Fall through" comment, which is what GCC is expecting to find.

  • I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
    and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.

    Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
    alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
    automatically.

    Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
    more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
    limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
    drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
    arbitrary order can't do any good.

    On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
    log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
    of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
    loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!

    If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
    user-space.

  • Some motherboards like the Advantech ARK3400 documentation
    use a non-inverted GPIO pin. We fix this by assuming that
    the BIOS will set the Polarity bit for the GPIO correctly
    at startup and we keep the Bit-setting intact when we start
    and stop the watchdog.

  • The SCH311x chip contains 2 watchdogs. One is the watchdog programmable
    by the runtime register at address 0x65-0x68, the other is the watchdog
    inside the power on reset generator. This second watchdog has a fixed
    timeout value of ~1.6 seconds and is configurable only by the RESGEN
    register.

    The BIOS normally takes care of the RESGEN watchdog and disables it (at
    least) before the OS is booted.

    Unfortunately the sch311x_wdt driver clears bit 0 of the RESGEN register
    which has the effect that at the latest 1.6 seconds later, a POR is
    triggered.

    The attached patch fixes this problem by completely removing any
    reference to the RESGEN watchdog from the sch311x_wdt driver.

  • While checking what watchdog drivers usually do in suspend/resume to
    spot common behaviour for the watchdog framework, I found these drivers
    which do nothing but add some cruft. Remove it, it is superfluous. New
    approaches should probably be done with pm_ops anyway.
