2009-09-23USB: usbmon: end ugly tricks with DMA peekingPete Zaitcev
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. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-01-07USB: Allow usbmon as a module even if usbcore is builtinPete Zaitcev
usbmon can only be built as a module if usbcore is a module too. Trivial changes to the relevant Kconfig and Makefile (and a few trivial changes elsewhere) allow usbmon to be built as a module even if usbcore is builtin. This is verified to work in all 9 permutations (3 correctly prohibited by Kconfig, 6 build a suitable result).

2007-02-07USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev
This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios. The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1) worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap. This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

2005-09-08[PATCH] usbmon in 2.6.13: peeking into DMA areasPete Zaitcev
This code looks at urb->transfer_dma, maps the page and takes the data. I am looking for volunteers to contribute architectures other than i386 or to develop an architecure-neutral API for it (or point me that it was done already).

2005-08-04[PATCH] USB: ub documentation updatePete Zaitcev
The patch which went in was correct, but not quite what I had in mind. Here is a patch to update that a little bit.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
