Subject: [PATCHv6 0/2] ARM: sunxi: Driver for Allwinner sunxi Security ID

From: Oliver Schinagl <[email protected]>

Hopefully it is polished enough for inclusion now :)

Oliver

Changes from v5:
* Added dts for A10s
* Move ABI documentation to testing
* Improve documentation overal
* Expand comments about future changes for when Greg fixes sysfs bin attrs
* Rename sun7i-sid to sun7i-a20-sid for the compatible field

Changes from v4:
* Added sun7i (A20) support, also tested on Cubieboard 2.0 and OlinuXino A20
* prepare source for move to binary attribute groups
* Removed useless internal braces
* Dropped DRV_NAME from dvb_dvb
* Add and pass struct using platform_[gs]et_drvdata()
* Add Documentation!
* Reviewed-by: Tomasz Figa <[email protected]>

Changes from v3:
* Cleanup comments
* Remove last byte masking and useless casting, the C standard guarntees
we are ok
* Removed some complexity from sid_read, thanks to Russel
* Replace dev_info with dev_dbg reducing the verbosity
* Removed driver version
* Reorderd variable declrations based on usage, return value always last
* Removed all goto in exchange for return, due to popular request
* Reduced line count by removing extra lines

Changes from v2:
* Removed the global pointer, we can change that when the need for external
access arises
* Fixed header inclusions
* Corrected if guards. There where some crude mistakes there
* Changed offset to an unsigned int so we don't have to worry about negatives
* Cleaned up variable declarations
* Changed ret value, ENXIO (No device/io) as that better matches a missing dt
* Made the loading informercial print version so it is somewhat usefull

Changes from v1:
* Rename the sys-fs exported key to eeprom, since it really a read-only eeprom
* Removed mention of sun[67]i since we haven't tested those
* Fixed up mistakes in comments
* Removed PAGE_SIZE references, since this is a binary only driver
* Removed lookup table and calculate offsets better
* Use proper endianess
* Add the SID to seed the kernel entropy pool
* Rewrite probe to use platform_get_resource/devm_ioremap_resource instead

The Allwinner A-series of SoC's have efuses exposed via registers to read the
factory programmed e-fuses. These should in theory be programmable but this is
still to be confirmed. It does appear that these fuses are unique enough to be
used as serial numbers, RSA keys, generate MAC addresses from etc. If it turns
out to be user programmable, the use obviously increases. Allwinner did use the
fuses initially to determine the chip-type.

This driver supports all currently known chips based on datasheets and 'dumped'
drivers that we have so far, the dts is only implemented for known chips.

It has been tested on a Cubieboard 1

This is my very first driver so please try to be gentle

Subject: [PATCHv6 1/2] ARM: sunxi: Initial support for Allwinner's Security ID fuses

From: Oliver Schinagl <[email protected]>

Allwinner has electric fuses (efuse) on their line of chips. This driver
reads those fuses, seeds the kernel entropy and exports them as a sysfs
node.

These fuses are most likely to be programmed at the factory, encoding
things like Chip ID, some sort of serial number etc and appear to be
reasonable unique.
While in theory, these should be writeable by the user, it will probably
be inconvinient to do so. Allwinner recommends that a certain input pin,
labeled 'efuse_vddq', be connected to GND. To write these fuses however,
a 2.5 V programming voltage needs to be applied to this pin.

Even so, they can still be used to generate a board-unique mac from,
board unique RSA key and seed the kernel RNG.

On sun7i additional storage is available, this is initially used for an
UEFI BOOT key, Secure JTAG key, HDMI-HDCP key and vendor specific keys.

Currently supported are the following known chips:
Allwinner sun4i (A10)
Allwinner sun5i (A10s, A13)
Allwinner sun7i (A20)

As the probe function is marked __init, and this is a non-hotpluggable
device, I think you should use module_platform_driver_probe(...) instead
of module_platform_driver(...)

This should be triggering a section mismatch warning when you compile
it.

The reason for this is that you reference your probe function (that has
a rather short life expectancy) from another structure (platform_driver)
that has a longer lifecycle. So, basically, after the init freeing, your
platform driver will still hold a reference to your probe function, that
has been freed, which is not a really good thing.

You can solve this in two ways:
- remove the __init
- or, in the platform driver case we're in, and if you're 100% sure
you won't need EPROBE_DEFER, you can use
module_platform_driver_probe.

I'm sorry, this is not really what I had in mind. You still don't
explain why this is causing a problem, what problem, and why you can't
use the sysfs groups right from the start.

What I wanted was a (pretty long, I agree) summing up the whole
discussion we had.

Something like:

/*
* Be aware that this will generate a race with userspace. By the time
* it gets called, udev has already been notified of the device
* addition, and will never be notified that this file has been added.
*
* It should be properly fixed by having some way to attach a sysfs
* attribute group to the device structure before the probe.
* Unfortunately, this is both not possible for platform devices at the
* moment and not trivial to do, so this will need a proper fix later
* on.
*/

And just like the comment quoted above, you can remove the useless fixme
comments you added everywhere.

There's no need for any of this, including the "FIXME" comments. I know
what the problem is here, and until the driver core changes get merged
upstream in order to fix it, there's no need to worry about "broken"
drivers, as everything is "broken".

I'll just take this as-is and remove the "fixme" comments, ok?

It's your call :)

We had a few other comments, that will probably be fixed in the v7
oliver just sent, so you'd probably want to merge the v7 instead.

Thanks,
