Simplify a few of the *generic* shared dev_warn() and dev_dbg()
print messages for three reasons:
0) Historically firmware_class code was added to help
get device driver firmware binaries but these days
request_firmware*() helpers are being repurposed for
general *system data* needed by the kernel.
1) This will also help generalize shared code as much as possible
later in the future in consideration for a new extensible firmware
API which will enable to separate usermode helper code out as much
as possible.
2) Kees Cook pointed out the the prints already have the device
associated as dev_*() helpers are used, that should help identify
the user and case in which the helpers are used. That should provide
enough context and simplifies the messages further.
v4: generalize debug/warn messages even further as suggested by
Kees Cook.

The firmware class uevent function accessed the "fw_priv->buf" buffer
without the proper locking and testing for NULL. This is an old bug
(looks like it goes back to 2012 and commit 1244691c73b2: "firmware
loader: introduce firmware_buf"), but for some reason it's triggering
only now in 4.2-rc1.
Shuah Khan is trying to bisect what it is that causes this to trigger
more easily, but in the meantime let's just fix the bug since others are
hitting it too (at least Ingo reports having seen it as well).

We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the
end for the remaining internal firmware name uses.
There are two limitations with the way we use this.
Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the
struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd
have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one
using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer.
We're also currently not using 'const' for the string.
We wish to later extend some firmware data structures
with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be
very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to
change things to use 'const' we might as well also address
unified way to use multiple strings on the structs.
Replace the flexible array practice for strings with
kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid
allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just
allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This
also means we can simplify the struct allocations by
removing the string length from the allocation size
computation, which would otherwise get even more
complicated when supporting multiple strings.

There is still no checks on the concatenation of the path

Now that the udev firmware loader is optional request_firmware()
will not provide any information on the kernel ring buffer if
direct firmware loading failed and udev firmware loading is disabled.
If no information is needed request_firmware_direct() should be used
for optional firmware, at which point drivers can take on the onus
over informing of any failures, if udev firmware loading is disabled
though we should at the very least provide some sort of information
as when the udev loader was enabled by default back in the days.

[The patch was originally proposed by Tom Gundersen, and rewritten
afterwards by me; most of changelogs below borrowed from Tom's
original patch -- tiwai]
Currently (at least) the dell-rbu driver selects FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER,
which means that distros can't really stop loading firmware through
udev without breaking other users (though some have).
Ideally we would remove/disable the udev firmware helper in both the
kernel and in udev, but if we were to disable it in udev and not the
kernel, the result would be (seemingly) hung kernels as no one would
be around to cancel firmware requests.
This patch allows udev firmware loading to be disabled while still
allowing non-udev firmware loading, as done by the dell-rbu driver, to
continue working. This is achieved by only using the fallback
mechanism when the uevent is suppressed.
The patch renames the user-selectable Kconfig from FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER
to FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK, and the former is reverse-selected
by the latter or the drivers that need userhelper like dell-rbu.
Also, the "default y" is removed together with this change, since it's
been deprecated in udev upstream, thus rather better to disable it
nowadays.
Tested with
FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n
LATTICE_ECP3_CONFIG=y
DELL_RBU=y
and udev without the firmware loading support, but I don't have the
hardware to test the lattice/dell drivers, so additional testing would
be appreciated.

When CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is set, request_firmware() falls
back to the usermode helper for loading via udev when the direct
loading fails. But the recent udev takes way too long timeout (60
seconds) for non-existing firmware. This is unacceptable for the
drivers like microcode loader where they load firmwares optionally,
i.e. it's no error even if no requested file exists.
This patch provides a new helper function, request_firmware_direct().
It behaves as same as request_firmware() except for that it doesn't
fall back to usermode helper but returns an error immediately if the
f/w can't be loaded directly in kernel.
Without CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y, request_firmware_direct() is
just an alias of request_firmware(), due to obvious reason.

The direct firmware loading interface is a bit quiet about failures. Failures
that occur during loading are masked if firmware exists in multiple locations,
and may be masked entirely in the event that we fall back to the user mode
helper code. It would be nice to see some of the more unexpected errors get
logged, so in the event that you expect the direct firmware loader to work (like
if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is enabled), and something goes wrong, you can
figure out what happened.

they don't hit in direct loading too.

When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the
usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked
when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by
some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in
non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs
flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus
blocks the reboot, too.
As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a
reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before
issuing usermodehelper_disable().

Since 3.7 kernel, the firmware loader can read the firmware files
directly, and the traditional user-mode helper is invoked only as a
fallback. This seems working pretty well, and the next step would be
to reduce the redundant user-mode helper stuff in future.
This patch is a preparation for that: refactor the code for splitting
user-mode helper stuff more easily. No functional change.

This is a first step in allowing people to by-pass udev for loading
device firmware. Current versions of udev will deadlock (causing us to
block for the 30 second timeout) under some circumstances if the
firmware is loaded as part of the module initialization path, and this
is causing problems for media drivers in particular.
The current patch hardcodes the firmware path that udev uses by default,
and will fall back to the legacy udev mode if the firmware cannot be
found there. We'd like to add support for both configuring the paths
and the fallback behaviour, but in the meantime this hopefully fixes the
immediate problem, while also giving us a way forward.

void device_uncache_fw_images(void)
void device_uncache_fw_images_delay(unsigned long)
so we can use device_cache_fw_images() to cache firmware for

After system is ready for completing firmware loading, driver core

the cached firmware.

If firmware is requested asynchronously, by calling
request_firmware_nowait(), there is no reason to fail the request
(and warn the user) when the system is (presumably temporarily)
unready to handle it (because user space is not available yet or
frozen). For this reason, introduce an alternative routine for
read-locking umhelper_sem, usermodehelper_read_lock_wait(), that
will wait for usermodehelper_disabled to be unset (possibly with
a timeout) and make request_firmware_work_func() use it instead of
usermodehelper_read_trylock().
Accordingly, modify request_firmware() so that it uses
usermodehelper_read_trylock() to acquire umhelper_sem and remove
the code related to that lock from _request_firmware().

protection of the fw_lock mutex. since there is a window between the time that
_request_firmware sets fw_priv->fw to NULL and the time the corresponding sysfs
file is unregistered, its possible for a user space application to race in, and
write a zero to the loading file, causing a NULL dereference in
firmware_loading_store. Fix it by extending the protection of the fw_lock mutex
to cover all of the firware_loading_store function.

Commit a144c6a (PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks
are frozen) introduced usermodehelper_is_disabled() to warn and exit
immediately if firmware is requested when usermodehelpers are disabled.
However, it is racy. Consider the following scenario, currently used in
drivers/base/firmware_class.c:
...
if (usermodehelper_is_disabled())
goto out;
/* Do actual work */
...
out:
return err;
Nothing prevents someone from disabling usermodehelpers just after the check
in the 'if' condition, which means that it is quite possible to try doing the
"actual work" with usermodehelpers disabled, leading to undesirable
consequences.
In particular, this race condition in _request_firmware() causes task freezing
failures whenever suspend/hibernation is in progress because, it wrongly waits
to get the firmware/microcode image from userspace when actually the
usermodehelpers are disabled or userspace has been frozen.
Some of the example scenarios that cause freezing failures due to this race
are those that depend on userspace via request_firmware(), such as x86
microcode module initialization and microcode image reload.
Previous discussions about this issue can be found at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1198291/focus=1200591
This patch adds proper synchronization to fix this issue.
It is to be noted that this patchset fixes the freezing failures but doesn't
remove the warnings. IOW, it does not attempt to add explicit synchronization
to x86 microcode driver to avoid requesting microcode image at inopportune
moments. Because, the warnings were introduced to highlight such cases, in the
first place. And we need not silence the warnings, since we take care of the
*real* problem (freezing failure) and hence, after that, the warnings are
pretty harmless anyway.

In commit a144c6a6c9 ("PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested
when tasks are frozen") we not only printed a warning if somebody tried
to load the firmware when tasks are frozen - we also failed the load.
But that check was done before the check for built-in firmware, and then
when we disallowed usermode helpers during bootup (commit 288d5abec831:
"Boot up with usermodehelper disabled"), that actually means that
built-in modules can no longer load their firmware even if the firmware
is built in too. Which used to work, and some people depended on it for
the R100 driver.
So move the test for usermodehelper_is_disabled() down, to after
checking the built-in firmware.
This should fix:

Some drivers erroneously use request_firmware() from their ->resume()
(or ->thaw(), or ->restore()) callbacks, which is not going to work
unless the firmware has been built in. This causes system resume to
stall until the firmware-loading timeout expires, which makes users
think that the resume has failed and reboot their machines
unnecessarily. For this reason, make _request_firmware() print a
warning and return immediately with error code if it has been called
when tasks are frozen and it's impossible to start any new usermode
helpers.

Some place in firmware_class.c using "int uevent" define, but others use "bool
uevent".
This patch replace all int uevent define to bool.
