This fix permits the "new" usbmon to access usb-storage's data buffer
without DMA remapping tricks. It should be compatible with PIO controllers
and not add any new crashes. Note that from now on PIO controllers and
usbmon are uniform in their access pattern and if one crashes then
the other will too. Hopefuly neither does.
As a side effect, we get rid for #ifdefs, which were a little ugly.

This patch fixes crashes when usbmon attempts to access GART aperture.
The old code attempted to take a bus address and convert it into a
virtual address, which clearly was impossible on systems with actual
IOMMUs. Let us not persist in this foolishness, and use transfer_buffer
in all cases instead.
I think downsides are negligible. The ones I see are:
- A driver may pass an address of one buffer down as transfer_buffer,
and entirely different entity mapped for DMA, resulting in misleading
output of usbmon. Note, however, that PIO based controllers would
do transfer the same data that usbmon sees here.
- Out of tree drivers may crash usbmon if they store garbage in
transfer_buffer. I inspected the in-tree drivers, and clarified
the documentation in comments.
- Drivers that use get_user_pages will not be possible to monitor.
I only found one driver with this problem (drivers/staging/rspiusb).
- Same happens with with usb_storage transferring from highmem, but
it works fine on 64-bit systems, so I think it's not a concern.
At least we don't crash anymore.
Why didn't we do this in 2.6.10? That's because back in those days
it was popular not to fill in transfer_buffer, so almost all
traffic would be invisible (e.g. all of HID was like that).
But now, the tree is almost 100% PIO friendly, so we can do the
right thing at last.

This patch falls out of my work to fix usbmon so it uses virtual addresses.
It is not necessary, the "new" usbmon should work just fine with sisusbvga.
However, it seems ridiculous that anyone would use uncached memory to
transfer bulk data. Dropping the unnecessary use of usb_buffer_alloc
should be beneficial here, in case anyone ever uses the dongle on
anything beyond x86.
I had no success in raising the author of the driver by e-mail, so
the patch is not actually tested.

Interrupt transfers are submitted to the xHCI hardware using the same TRB
type as bulk transfers. Re-use the bulk transfer enqueueing code to
enqueue interrupt transfers.
Interrupt transfers are a bit different than bulk transfers. When the
interrupt endpoint is to be serviced, the xHC will consume (at most) one
TD. A TD (comprised of sg list entries) can take several service
intervals to transmit. The important thing for device drivers to note is
that if they use the scatter gather interface to submit interrupt
requests, they will not get data sent from two different scatter gather
lists in the same service interval.
For now, the xHCI driver will use the service interval from the endpoint's
descriptor (bInterval). Drivers will need a hook to poll at a more
frequent interval. Set urb->interval to the interval that the xHCI
hardware will use.

The xHCI hardware reports the number of bytes untransferred for a given
transfer buffer. If the hardware reports a bytes untransferred value
greater than the submitted buffer size, we want to play it safe and say no
data was transferred. If the driver considers a short packet to be an
error, remember to set -EREMOTEIO.

Make sure that the amount of data the xHC says was transmitted is less
than or equal to the size of the requested transfer buffer. Before, if
the host controller erroneously reported that the number of bytes
untransferred was bigger than the buffer in the URB, urb->actual_length
could be set to a very large size.

On a successful transfer, urb->td is freed before the URB is ready to be
given back to the driver. Don't touch urb->td after it's freed. This bug
would have only shown up when xHCI debugging was turned on, and the freed
memory was quickly reused for something else.

The 0.95 xHCI spec says that non-control endpoints will be halted if a
babble is detected on a transfer. The 0.96 xHCI spec says all types of
endpoints will be halted when a babble is detected. Some hardware that
claims to be 0.95 compliant halts the control endpoint anyway.
When a babble is detected on a control endpoint, check the hardware's
output endpoint context to see if the endpoint is marked as halted. If
the control endpoint is halted, a reset endpoint command must be issued
and the transfer ring dequeue pointer needs to be moved past the stopped
transfer. Basically, we treat it as if the control endpoint had stalled.
Handle bulk babbling endpoints as if we got a completion event with a
stall completion code.

This Fresco Logic xHCI host controller chip revision puts bad data into
the output endpoint context after a Reset Endpoint command. It needs a
Configure Endpoint command (instead of a Set TR Dequeue Pointer command)
after the reset endpoint command.
Set up the input context before issuing the Reset Endpoint command so we
don't copy bad data from the output endpoint context. The HW also can't
handle two commands queued at once, so submit the TRB for the Configure
Endpoint command in the event handler for the Reset Endpoint command.
Devices that stall on control endpoints before a configuration is selected
will not work under this Fresco Logic xHCI host controller revision.
This patch is for prototype hardware that will be given to other companies
for evaluation purposes only, and should not reach consumer hands. Fresco
Logic's next chip rev should have this bug fixed.

When a control endpoint stalls, the next control transfer will clear the
stall. The USB core doesn't call down to the host controller driver's
endpoint_reset() method when control endpoints stall, so the xHCI driver
has to do all its stall handling for internal state in its interrupt handler.
When the host stalls on a control endpoint, it may stop on the data phase
or status phase of the control transfer. Like other stalled endpoints,
the xHCI driver needs to queue a Reset Endpoint command and move the
hardware's control endpoint ring dequeue pointer past the failed control
transfer (with a Set TR Dequeue Pointer or a Configure Endpoint command).
Since the USB core doesn't call usb_hcd_reset_endpoint() for control
endpoints, we need to do this in interrupt context when we get notified of
the stalled transfer. URBs may be queued to the hardware before these two
commands complete. The endpoint queue will be restarted once both
commands complete.

Full speed devices have varying max packet sizes (8, 16, 32, or 64) for
endpoint 0. The xHCI hardware needs to know the real max packet size
that the USB core discovers after it fetches the first 8 bytes of the
device descriptor.
In order to fix this without adding a new hook to host controller drivers,
the xHCI driver looks for an updated max packet size for control
endpoints. If it finds an updated size, it issues an evaluate context
command and waits for that command to finish. This should only happen in
the initialization and device descriptor fetching steps in the khubd
thread, so blocking should be fine.

Set the max packet size for the default control endpoint on high speed
devices to be 64 bytes. High speed devices always have a max packet size
of 64 bytes. There's no use setting it to eight for the initial 8 byte
descriptor fetch and then issuing (and waiting for) an evaluate context
command to update it to 64 bytes for the subsequent control transfers.
The USB core guesses that the max packet size on a full speed control
endpoint is 64 bytes, and then updates it after the first 8-byte
descriptor fetch. Change the initial setup for the xHCI internal
representation of the full speed device to have a 64 byte max packet size.

Different sections of the xHCI 0.95 specification had opposing
requirements for the chain bit in a link transaction request buffer (TRB).
The chain bit is used to designate that adjacent TRBs are all part of the
same scatter gather list that should be sent to the device. Link TRBs can
be in the middle, or at the beginning or end of these chained TRBs.
Sections 4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 both stated the link TRB "shall have the
chain bit set to 1", meaning it is always chained to the next TRB.
However, section 4.6.9 on the stop endpoint command has specific cases for
what the hardware must do for a link TRB with the chain bit set to 0. The
0.96 specification errata later cleared up this issue by fixing the
4.11.5.1 and 6.4.4.1 sections to state that a link TRB can have the chain
bit set to 1 or 0.
The problem is that the xHCI cancellation code depends on the chain bit of
the link TRB being cleared when it's at the end of a TD, and some 0.95
xHCI hardware simply stops processing the ring when it encounters a link
TRB with the chain bit cleared.
Allow users who are testing 0.95 xHCI prototypes to set a module parameter
(link_quirk) to turn on this link TRB work around. Cancellation may not
work if the ring is stopped exactly on a link TRB with chain bit set, but
cancellation should be a relatively uncommon case.

This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it
compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core. The most
important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked
following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index().
Other less notable changes include:
Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always.
Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended.
Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the
port hardware has been initialized.
In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial
console code is still a big hack.

This patch (as1287) makes serial_install() be reponsible for acquiring
references to the usb_serial structure and the driver module when a
tty is first used. This is more sensible than having serial_open() do
it, because a tty can be opened many times whereas it is installed
only once, when it is created. (Not to mention that these actions are
reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.) Finally,
it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the
usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same
way in regard to the lower-level serial driver.

This patch (as1286) changes usb_serial_get_by_index(). Now the
routine will check whether the serial device has been disconnected; if
it has then the return value will be NULL. If the device hasn't been
disconnected then the routine will return with serial->disc_mutex
held, so that the caller can use the structure without fear of racing
against driver unloads.
This permits the scope of table_mutex in destroy_serial() to be
reduced. Instead of protecting the entire function, it suffices to
protect the part that actually uses serial_table[], i.e., the call to
return_serial(). There's no longer any danger of the refcount being
incremented after it reaches 0 (which was the reason for having the
large scope previously), because it can't reach 0 until the serial
device has been disconnected.
Also, the patch makes serial_install() check that serial is non-NULL
before attempting to use it.

This patch (as1284) changes the referencing of the usb_serial and
usb_serial_port structures in usb-serial.c. It's not feasible to make
the port structures keep a reference to the serial structure, because
the ports need to remain in existence when serial is released -- quite
a few of the drivers expect this. Consequently taking a reference
to the port when the device file is open is insufficient; such a
reference would not pin serial.
To fix this, we now take a reference to serial when the device file is
opened. The final put_device() for the ports occurs in
destroy_serial(), so that the ports will last as long as they are
needed.
The patch initializes all the port devices, including those in the
unused "fake" ports. This makes the code more uniform because they
can all be released in the same way. The error handling code in
usb_serial_probe() is much simplified by this approach; instead of
freeing everything by hand we can use a single usb_serial_put() call.
Also simplified is the port-release mechanism. Instead of being two
separate routines, port_release() and port_free() can be combined into
one.
