[PATCH 10/39] Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/iio/

[PATCH 10/39] Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/iio/

[David Howells]

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image.  Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.

To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify.  The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.

Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.

This patch annotates drivers in drivers/iio/.

Hi David,

I'm on a train so can't check the original thread right now (and will probably
forget to do so later!). I am guessing the new functions are introduced
earlier in the series?  Hence for now I'll assume you want to merge
this lot in one go.

Acked-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>

Shout if you want me to take this via the IIO tree after the merge window
closes.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Yeah, patch 1 is a prerequisite for all the subsequent patches.

I'll see if I can get patch 1 in and then distribute the other patches.
