Pull tty ioctl updates from Al Viro:
"This is the compat_ioctl work related to tty ioctls.
Quite a bit of dead code taken out, all tty-related stuff gone from
fs/compat_ioctl.c. A bunch of compat bugs fixed - some still remain,
but all more or less generic tty-related ioctls should be covered
(remaining issues are in things like driver-private ioctls in a pcmcia
serial card driver not getting properly handled in 32bit processes on
64bit host, etc)"
* 'work.tty-ioctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (53 commits)
kill TIOCSERGSTRUCT
change semantics of ldisc ->compat_ioctl()
kill TIOCSER[SG]WILD
synclink_gt(): fix compat_ioctl()
pty: fix compat ioctls
compat_ioctl - kill keyboard ioctl handling
gigaset: add ->compat_ioctl()
vt_compat_ioctl(): clean up, use compat_ptr() properly
gigaset: don't try to printk userland buffer contents
dgnc: don't bother with (empty) stub for TCXONC
dgnc: leave TIOC[GS]SOFTCAR to ldisc
remove fallback to drivers for TIOCGICOUNT
dgnc: break-related ioctls won't reach ->ioctl()
kill the rest of tty COMPAT_IOCTL() entries
dgnc: TIOCM... won't reach ->ioctl()
isdn_tty: TCSBRK{,P} won't reach ->ioctl()
kill capinc_tty_ioctl()
take compat TIOC[SG]SERIAL treatment into tty_compat_ioctl()
synclink: reduce pointless checks in ->ioctl()
complete ->[sg]et_serial() switchover
...
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
