Merge tag 'ipe-pr-20260925' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wufan/ipegrafted
Pull IPE fixes from Fan Wu:
"Two fixes for use-after-free issues found by recent LLM-assisted code
analysis.
- move successful policy load auditing under the new policy
directory's inode lock, preventing a concurrent policy deletion
from freeing the policy while it is still being audited
- protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU, preventing policy
evaluation from racing with root hash replacement during preresume"

It has been specified by the MIPI alliance in 2003 and +implemented by multiple vendors since then. + +The HSI interface supports full duplex communication over multiple channels +(typically 8) and is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 Mbit/s. + +The serial protocol uses two signals, DATA and FLAG as combined data and clock +signals and an additional READY signal for flow control. An additional WAKE +signal can be used to wakeup the chips from standby modes. The signals are +commonly prefixed by AC for signals going from the application die to the +cellular die and CA for signals going the other way around. + +:: + + +------------+ +---------------+ + | Cellular | | Application | + | Die | | Die | + | | - - - - - - CAWAKE - - - - - - >| | + | T|------------ CADATA ------------>|R | + | X|------------ CAFLAG ------------>|X | + | |<----------- ACREADY ------------| | + | | | | + | | | | + | |< - - - - - ACWAKE - - - - - - -| | + | R|<----------- ACDATA -------------|T | + | X|<----------- ACFLAG -------------|X | + | |------------ CAREADY ----------->| | + | | | | + | | | | + +------------+ +---------------+ + +HSI Subsystem in Linux +------------------------- + +In the Linux kernel the hsi subsystem is supposed to be used for HSI devices. +The hsi subsystem contains drivers for hsi controllers including support for +multi-port controllers and provides a generic API for using the HSI ports. + +It also contains HSI client drivers, which make use of the generic API to +implement a protocol used on the HSI interface. These client drivers can +use an arbitrary number of channels. + +hsi-char Device +------------------ + +Each port automatically registers a generic client driver called hsi_char, +which provides a character device for userspace representing the HSI port. +It can be used to communicate via HSI from userspace. Userspace may +configure the hsi_char device using the following ioctl commands: + +HSC_RESET + flush the HSI port + +HSC_SET_PM + enable or disable the client. + +HSC_SEND_BREAK + send break + +HSC_SET_RX + set RX configuration + +HSC_GET_RX + get RX configuration + +HSC_SET_TX + set TX configuration + +HSC_GET_TX + get TX configuration + +The kernel HSI API +------------------ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/hsi/hsi.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hsi/hsi_core.c + :export: + |
