samples: move mic/mpssd example code from Documentation

2017-03-12T05:37:23+00:00

commit 6bee835dd54e279f3d3ae2eca92a9c394b4fd028 upstream.

Move mic/mpssd examples to samples and remove it from Documentation
Makefile. Create a new Makefile to build mic/mpssd. It can be built
from top level directory or from mic/mpssd directory:

Run make -C samples/mic/mpssd or cd samples/mic/mpssd; make

[backported to 4.4-stable as this code is broken on newer versions of
 gcc and we don't want to break the build for a Documentation sample.

mpssd: fix buffer overflow warning

2016-09-24T08:07:42+00:00

commit 3610a2add39365a0f153154c60169a66c616d50f upstream.

The compilation emits a warning in function ‘snprintf’,
    inlined from ‘set_cmdline’ at
    ../Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c:1541:9:
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h:64:10:
    warning: call to __builtin___snprintf_chk will always overflow
    destination buffer

This was introduced in commit f4a66c204482 ("misc: mic: Update MIC host
daemon with COSM changes") and is fixed by reverting the changes to the
size argument of these snprintf statements.

Documentation/mic/mpssd: don't build x86 userspace when cross compiling

2015-06-22T22:05:11+00:00

The following was seen in linux-next build coverage, which is somewhat
unique since it uses powerpc host to cross compile x86:

Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c:93:10: error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function

Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c:146:10: error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function
Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c:149:3: error: initializer element is not constant

Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c:152:3: error: (near initialization for 'virtblk_dev_page.blk_config.capacity')
make[5]: *** [Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.o] Error 1

Since it is building /usr/sbin/mpssd and /usr/sbin/micctrl
for x86_64 and the original authors indicated[1] that:

   MIC card is expected to work with x86_64 host, not with ppc64.
   We have never compiled on ppc host..

so it probably makes sense to just skip building these userspace
programs when we are cross compiling.

mic/mpssd along with MIC drivers are currently only usable on
x86_64. So build mic/mpssd only for x86_64 to avoid build breaks on
big-endian systems.

Documentation: update include path for mpssd

2014-10-03T13:48:20+00:00

sysfs.c includes mpssd.h which includes virtio_ids.h.
sysfs.c doesn't have the proper include flags set to use the latest
headers, so this causes a build error if the system headers are too old.
