3255344156 USB: serial: relax unthrottle memory barrier
Commit a8d78d9f38 ("USB: serial: clean up throttle handling")
converted the throttle handling to use atomic bitops. This means that we
can relax the smp_mb() in unthrottle() to smp_mb__after_atomic(), which
for example is a no-op on architectures like x86 that provide fully
ordered atomics.

3f5edd58d0 USB: serial: fix unthrottle races
Fix two long-standing bugs which could potentially lead to memory
corruption or leave the port throttled until it is reopened (on weakly
ordered systems), respectively, when read-URB completion races with
unthrottle().

First, the URB must not be marked as free before processing is complete
to prevent it from being submitted by unthrottle() on another CPU.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	================		================
	complete()			unthrottle()
	  process_urb();
	  smp_mb__before_atomic();
	  set_bit(i, free);		  if (test_and_clear_bit(i, free))
	  					  submit_urb();

Second, the URB must be marked as free before checking the throttled
flag to prevent unthrottle() on another CPU from failing to observe that
the URB needs to be submitted if complete() sees that the throttled flag
is set.

	CPU 1				CPU 2
	================		================
	complete()			unthrottle()
	  set_bit(i, free);		  throttled = 0;
	  smp_mb__after_atomic();	  smp_mb();
	  if (throttled)		  if (test_and_clear_bit(i, free))
	  	  return;			  submit_urb();

Note that test_and_clear_bit() only implies barriers when the test is
successful. To handle the case where the URB is still in use an explicit
barrier needs to be added to unthrottle() for the second race condition.

6ca98bc284 USB: serial: Remove redundant license text
Now that the SPDX tag is in all USB files, that identifies the license
in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text wording
can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

5fd54ace47 USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/usb/
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct
SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself.
The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

6f6485463a USB: serial: fix race in generic write
Fix race in generic write implementation, which could lead to
temporarily degraded throughput.

The current generic write implementation introduced by commit
27c7acf220 ("USB: serial: reimplement generic fifo-based writes") has
always had this bug, although it's fairly hard to trigger and the
consequences are not likely to be noticed.

Specifically, a write() on one CPU while the completion handler is
running on another could result in only one of the two write urbs being
utilised to empty the remainder of the write fifo (unless there is a
second write() that doesn't race during that time).

980373b791 USB: serial: add generic TIOCMIWAIT implementation
Add generic TIOCMIWAIT implementation which correctly handles hangup,
USB-device disconnect, does not rely on the deprecated sleep_on
functions and hence does not suffer from the races currently affecting
several usb-serial drivers.

This makes it much easier to add TIOCMIWAIT support to subdrivers as the
tricky details related to hangup and disconnect (e.g. atomicity, that
the private port data may have been freed when woken up, and waking up
processes at disconnect) have been handled once and for all.

To add support to a subdriver, simply set the tiocmiwait-port-operation
field, update the port icount fields and wake up any process sleeping on
the tty-port modem-status-change wait queue on changes.

Note that the tty-port initialised flag can be used to detect
disconnected as the port will be hung up as part of disconnect (and
cannot be reactivated due to the disconnected flag). However, as the
tty-port implementation currently wakes up processes before calling port
shutdown, the tty-hupping flag must also be checked to detect hangup for
now.

0b84704a2d USB: serial-generic: use a single set of device IDs
The usb-serial-generic driver uses different device IDs for its USB
matching and its serial matching.  This can lead to problems: The
driver can end up getting bound to a USB interface without being
allowed to bind to the corresponding serial port.

This patch (as1557) fixes the problem by using the same device ID
table (the one that can be altered by the "vendor=" and "product="
module parameters) for both purposes.  The unused table is removed.
Now the driver will bind only to the intended devices.

68e2411345 USB: serial: rework usb_serial_register/deregister_drivers()
This reworks the usb_serial_register_drivers() and
usb_serial_deregister_drivers() to not need a pointer to a struct
usb_driver anymore.  The usb_driver structure is now created dynamically
and registered and unregistered as needed.

This saves lines of code in each usb-serial driver.  All in-kernel users
of these functions were also fixed up at this time.  The pl2303 driver
was tested that everything worked properly.

Thanks for the idea to do this from Alan Stern.

2edd284bd7 USB: serial: remove bizarre generic_serial probe function
I can't remember why I wrote it like this many many years ago, but it's
not needed at all, let's rely on the usb-serial core for this function,
especially as it is being overridden by it anyway.

This lets us make usb_serial_probe() a static function, which it should
be.
