      driver core: Remove redundant license text · 32825709
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

      driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files · 989d42e8
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

      PM / core: Add NEVER_SKIP and SMART_PREPARE driver flags · 08810a41
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      The motivation for this change is to provide a way to work around
a problem with the direct-complete mechanism used for avoiding
system suspend/resume handling for devices in runtime suspend.

The problem is that some middle layer code (the PCI bus type and
the ACPI PM domain in particular) returns positive values from its
system suspend ->prepare callbacks regardless of whether the driver's
->prepare returns a positive value or 0, which effectively prevents
drivers from being able to control the direct-complete feature.
Some drivers need that control, however, and the PCI bus type has
grown its own flag to deal with this issue, but since it is not
limited to PCI, it is better to address it by adding driver flags at
the core level.

To that end, add a driver_flags field to struct dev_pm_info for flags
that can be set by device drivers at the probe time to inform the PM
core and/or bus types, PM domains and so on on the capabilities and/or
preferences of device drivers.  Also add two static inline helpers
for setting that field and testing it against a given set of flags
and make the driver core clear it automatically on driver remove
and probe failures.

Define and document two PM driver flags related to the direct-
complete feature: NEVER_SKIP and SMART_PREPARE that can be used,
respectively, to indicate to the PM core that the direct-complete
mechanism should never be used for the device and to inform the
middle layer code (bus types, PM domains etc) that it can only
request the PM core to use the direct-complete mechanism for
the device (by returning a positive value from its ->prepare
callback) if it also has been requested by the driver.

While at it, make the core check pm_runtime_suspended() when
setting power.direct_complete so that it doesn't need to be
checked by ->prepare callbacks.

      driver core: emit uevents when device is bound to a driver · 1455cf8d
      由 Dmitry Torokhov 提交于 
      There are certain touch controllers that may come up in either normal
(application) or boot mode, depending on whether firmware/configuration is
corrupted when they are powered on. In boot mode the kernel does not create
input device instance (because it does not necessarily know the
characteristics of the input device in question).

Another number of controllers does not store firmware in a non-volatile
memory, and they similarly need to have firmware loaded before input device
instance is created. There are also other types of devices with similar
behavior.

There is a desire to be able to trigger firmware loading via udev, but it
has to happen only when driver is bound to a physical device (i2c or spi).
These udev actions can not use ADD events, as those happen too early, so we
are introducing BIND and UNBIND events that are emitted at the right
moment.

Also, many drivers create additional driver-specific device attributes
when binding to the device, to provide userspace with additional controls.
The new events allow userspace to adjust these driver-specific attributes
without worrying that they are not there yet.

      PM / runtime: Use device links · 21d5c57b
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Modify the runtime PM framework to use device links to ensure that
supplier devices will not be suspended if any of their consumer
devices are active.

The idea is to reference count suppliers on the consumer's resume
and drop references to them on its suspend.  The information on
whether or not the supplier has been reference counted by the
consumer's (runtime) resume is stored in a new field (rpm_active)
in the link object for each link.

It may be necessary to clean up those references when the
supplier is unbinding and that's why the links whose status is
DEVICE_LINK_SUPPLIER_UNBIND are skipped by the runtime suspend
and resume code.

The above means that if the consumer device is probed in the
runtime-active state, the supplier has to be resumed and reference
counted by device_link_add() so the code works as expected on its
(runtime) suspend.  There is a new flag, DEVICE_LINK_RPM_ACTIVE,
to tell device_link_add() about that (in which case the caller
is responsible for making sure that the consumer really will
be runtime-active when runtime PM is enabled for it).

The other new link flag, DEVICE_LINK_PM_RUNTIME, tells the core
whether or not the link should be used for runtime PM at all.

      driver core: Functional dependencies tracking support · 9ed98953
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Currently, there is a problem with taking functional dependencies
between devices into account.

What I mean by a "functional dependency" is when the driver of device
B needs device A to be functional and (generally) its driver to be
present in order to work properly.  This has certain consequences
for power management (suspend/resume and runtime PM ordering) and
shutdown ordering of these devices.  In general, it also implies that
the driver of A needs to be working for B to be probed successfully
and it cannot be unbound from the device before the B's driver.

Support for representing those functional dependencies between
devices is added here to allow the driver core to track them and act
on them in certain cases where applicable.

The argument for doing that in the driver core is that there are
quite a few distinct use cases involving device dependencies, they
are relatively hard to get right in a driver (if one wants to
address all of them properly) and it only gets worse if multiplied
by the number of drivers potentially needing to do it.  Morever, at
least one case (asynchronous system suspend/resume) cannot be handled
in a single driver at all, because it requires the driver of A to
wait for B to suspend (during system suspend) and the driver of B to
wait for A to resume (during system resume).

For this reason, represent dependencies between devices as "links",
with the help of struct device_link objects each containing pointers
to the "linked" devices, a list node for each of them, status
information, flags, and an RCU head for synchronization.

Also add two new list heads, representing the lists of links to the
devices that depend on the given one (consumers) and to the devices
depended on by it (suppliers), and a "driver presence status" field
(needed for figuring out initial states of device links) to struct
device.

The entire data structure consisting of all of the lists of link
objects for all devices is protected by a mutex (for link object
addition/removal and for list walks during device driver probing
and removal) and by SRCU (for list walking in other case that will
be introduced by subsequent change sets).  If CONFIG_SRCU is not
selected, however, an rwsem is used for protecting the entire data
structure.

In addition, each link object has an internal status field whose
value reflects whether or not drivers are bound to the devices
pointed to by the link or probing/removal of their drivers is in
progress etc.  That field is only modified under the device links
mutex, but it may be read outside of it in some cases (introduced by
subsequent change sets), so modifications of it are annotated with
WRITE_ONCE().

New links are added by calling device_link_add() which takes three
arguments: pointers to the devices in question and flags.  In
particular, if DL_FLAG_STATELESS is set in the flags, the link status
is not to be taken into account for this link and the driver core
will not manage it.  In turn, if DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE is set in the
flags, the driver core will remove the link automatically when the
consumer device driver unbinds from it.

One of the actions carried out by device_link_add() is to reorder
the lists used for device shutdown and system suspend/resume to
put the consumer device along with all of its children and all of
its consumers (and so on, recursively) to the ends of those lists
in order to ensure the right ordering between all of the supplier
and consumer devices.

For this reason, it is not possible to create a link between two
devices if the would-be supplier device already depends on the
would-be consumer device as either a direct descendant of it or a
consumer of one of its direct descendants or one of its consumers
and so on.

There are two types of link objects, persistent and non-persistent.
The persistent ones stay around until one of the target devices is
deleted, while the non-persistent ones are removed automatically when
the consumer driver unbinds from its device (ie. they are assumed to
be valid only as long as the consumer device has a driver bound to
it).  Persistent links are created by default and non-persistent
links are created when the DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE flag is passed
to device_link_add().

Both persistent and non-persistent device links can be deleted
with an explicit call to device_link_del().

Links created without the DL_FLAG_STATELESS flag set are managed
by the driver core using a simple state machine.  There are 5 states
each link can be in: DORMANT (unused), AVAILABLE (the supplier driver
is present and functional), CONSUMER_PROBE (the consumer driver is
probing), ACTIVE (both supplier and consumer drivers are present and
functional), and SUPPLIER_UNBIND (the supplier driver is unbinding).
The driver core updates the link state automatically depending on
what happens to the linked devices and for each link state specific
actions are taken in addition to that.

For example, if the supplier driver unbinds from its device, the
driver core will also unbind the drivers of all of its consumers
automatically under the assumption that they cannot function
properly without the supplier.  Analogously, the driver core will
only allow the consumer driver to bind to its device if the
supplier driver is present and functional (ie. the link is in
the AVAILABLE state).  If that's not the case, it will rely on
the existing deferred probing mechanism to wait for the supplier
driver to become available.

      device core: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue · 2c507e46
      由 Bhaktipriya Shridhar 提交于 
      The workqueue "deferred_wq" queues a single work item
&deferred_probe_work and hence doesn't require ordering.
It is involved in probing devices and is not being used on a memory
reclaim path. Hence, it has been converted to use system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

The work item has been flushed in driver_probe_done() to ensure that
there are no pending tasks while disconnecting the driver.

      PM / runtime: Re-init runtime PM states at probe error and driver unbind · 5de85b9d
      由 Ulf Hansson 提交于 
      There are two common expectations among several subsystems/drivers that
deploys runtime PM support, but which isn't met by the driver core.

Expectation 1)
At ->probe() the subsystem/driver expects the runtime PM status of the
device to be RPM_SUSPENDED, which is the initial status being assigned at
device registration.

This expectation is especially common among some of those subsystems/
drivers that manages devices with an attached PM domain, as those requires
the ->runtime_resume() callback at the PM domain level to be invoked
during ->probe().

Moreover these subsystems/drivers entirely relies on runtime PM resources
being managed at the PM domain level, thus don't implement their own set
of runtime PM callbacks.

These are two scenarios that suffers from this unmet expectation.

i) A failed ->probe() sequence requests probe deferral:

->probe()
  ...
  pm_runtime_enable()
  pm_runtime_get_sync()
  ...

err:
  pm_runtime_put()
  pm_runtime_disable()
  ...

As there are no guarantees that such sequence turns the runtime PM status
of the device into RPM_SUSPENDED, the re-trying ->probe() may start with
the status in RPM_ACTIVE.

In such case the runtime PM core won't invoke the ->runtime_resume()
callback because of a pm_runtime_get_sync(), as it considers the device to
be already runtime resumed.

ii) A driver re-bind sequence:

At driver unbind, the subsystem/driver's >remove() callback invokes a
sequence of runtime PM APIs, to undo actions during ->probe() and to put
the device into low power state.

->remove()
  ...
  pm_runtime_put()
  pm_runtime_disable()
  ...

Similar as in the failing ->probe() case, this sequence don't guarantee
the runtime PM status of the device to turn into RPM_SUSPENDED.

Trying to re-bind the driver thus causes the same issue as when re-trying
->probe(), in the probe deferral scenario.

Expectation 2)
Drivers that invokes the pm_runtime_irq_safe() API during ->probe(),
triggers the runtime PM core to increase the usage count for the device's
parent and permanently make it runtime resumed.

The usage count is only dropped at device removal, which also allows it to
be runtime suspended again.

A re-trying ->probe() repeats the call to pm_runtime_irq_safe() and thus
once more triggers the usage count of the device's parent to be increased.

This leads to not only an imbalance issue of the usage count of the
device's parent, but also to keep it runtime resumed permanently even if
->probe() fails.

To address these issues, let's change the policy of the driver core to
meet these expectations. More precisely, at ->probe() failures and driver
unbind, restore the initial states of runtime PM.

Although to still allow subsystem's to control PM for devices that doesn't
->probe() successfully, don't restore the initial states unless runtime PM
is disabled.

      PM / sleep: prohibit devices probing during suspend/hibernation · 013c074f
      由 Strashko, Grygorii 提交于 
      It is unsafe [1] if probing of devices will happen during suspend or
hibernation and system behavior will be unpredictable in this case.
So, let's prohibit device's probing in dpm_prepare() and defer their
probing instead. The normal behavior will be restored in
dpm_complete().

This patch introduces new DD core APIs:
 device_block_probing()
   It will disable probing of devices and defer their probes instead.
 device_unblock_probing()
   It will restore normal behavior and trigger re-probing of deferred
   devices.

      drivers/pinctrl: Add the concept of an "init" state · ef0eebc0
      由 Douglas Anderson 提交于 
      For pinctrl the "default" state is applied to pins before the driver's
probe function is called.  This is normally a sensible thing to do,
but in some cases can cause problems.  That's because the pins will
change state before the driver is given a chance to program how those
pins should behave.

As an example you might have a regulator that is controlled by a PWM
(output high = high voltage, output low = low voltage).  The firmware
might leave this pin as driven high.  If we allow the driver core to
reconfigure this pin as a PWM pin before the PWM's probe function runs
then you might end up running at too low of a voltage while we probe.

Let's introudce a new "init" state.  If this is defined we'll set
pinctrl to this state before probe and then "default" after probe
(unless the driver explicitly changed states already).

An alternative idea that was thought of was to use the pre-existing
"sleep" or "idle" states and add a boolean property that we should
start in that mode.  This was not done because the "init" state is
needed for correctness and those other states are only present (and
only transitioned in to and out of) when (optional) power management
is enabled.

- Moved declarations to pinctrl/devinfo.h
- Fixed author/SoB

      driver core: correct device's shutdown order · 52cdbdd4
      由 Grygorii Strashko 提交于 
      Now device's shutdown sequence is performed in reverse order of their
registration in devices_kset list and this sequence corresponds to the
reverse device's creation order. So, devices_kset data tracks
"parent<-child" device's dependencies only.

Unfortunately, that's not enough and causes problems in case of
implementing board's specific shutdown procedures. For example [1]:
"DRA7XX_evm uses PCF8575 and one of the PCF output lines feeds to
MMC/SD and this line should be driven high in order for the MMC/SD to
be detected. This line is modelled as regulator and the hsmmc driver
takes care of enabling and disabling it. In the case of 'reboot',
during shutdown path as part of it's cleanup process the hsmmc driver
disables this regulator. This makes MMC boot not functional."

To handle this issue the .shutdown() callback could be implemented
for PCF8575 device where corresponding GPIO pins will be configured to
states, required for correct warm/cold reset. This can be achieved
only when all .shutdown() callbacks have been called already for all
PCF8575's consumers. But devices_kset is not filled correctly now:

devices_kset: Device61 4e000000.dmm
devices_kset: Device62 48070000.i2c
devices_kset: Device63 48072000.i2c
devices_kset: Device64 48060000.i2c
devices_kset: Device65 4809c000.mmc
...
devices_kset: Device102 fixedregulator-sd
...
devices_kset: Device181 0-0020 // PCF8575
devices_kset: Device182 gpiochip496
devices_kset: Device183 0-0021 // PCF8575
devices_kset: Device184 gpiochip480

As can be seen from above .shutdown() callback for PCF8575 will be called
before its consumers, which, in turn means, that any changes of PCF8575
GPIO's pins will be or unsafe or overwritten later by GPIO's consumers.
The problem can be solved if devices_kset list will be filled not only
according device creation order, but also according device's probing
order to track "supplier<-consumer" dependencies also.

Hence, as a fix, lets add devices_kset_move_last(),
devices_kset_move_before(), devices_kset_move_after() and call them
from device_move() and also add call of devices_kset_move_last() in
really_probe(). After this change all entries in devices_kset will
be sorted according to device's creation ("parent<-child") and
probing ("supplier<-consumer") order.

run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this
and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a
generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe.

Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter
given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some
userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver
will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides
will be immediately available after this.

      driver-core: add asynchronous probing support for drivers · 765230b5
      由 Dmitry Torokhov 提交于 
      Some devices take a long time when initializing, and not all drivers are
suited to initialize their devices when they are open. For example,
input drivers need to interrogate their devices in order to publish
device's capabilities before userspace will open them. When such drivers
are compiled into kernel they may stall entire kernel initialization.

This change allows drivers request for their probe functions to be
called asynchronously during driver and device registration (manual
binding is still synchronous). Because async_schedule is used to perform
asynchronous calls module loading will still wait for the probing to
complete.

Note that the end goal is to make the probing asynchronous by default,
so annotating drivers with PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is a temporary
measure that allows us to speed up boot process while we validating and
fixing the rest of the drivers and preparing userspace.

This change is based on earlier patch by "Luis R. Rodriguez"

      driver core / PM: Add PM domain callbacks for device setup/cleanup · e90d5532
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      If PM domains are in use, it may be necessary to prepare the code
handling a PM domain for driver probing.  For example, in some
cases device drivers rely on the ability to power on the devices
with the help of the IO runtime PM framework and the PM domain
code needs to be ready for that.  Also, if that code has not been
fully initialized yet, the driver probing should be deferred.

Moreover, after the probing is complete, it may be necessary to
put the PM domain in question into the state reflecting the current
needs of the devices in it, for example, so that power is not drawn
in vain.  The same should be done after removing a driver from
a device, as the PM domain state may need to be changed to reflect
the new situation.

For these reasons, introduce new PM domain callbacks, ->activate,
->sync and ->dismiss called, respectively, before probing for a
device driver, after the probing has completed successfully and
if the probing has failed or the driver has been removed.
