      driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses · ca22e56d
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
      and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.
      
      There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
      would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
      export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
      infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
      available.
      
      Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
      name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
      of theses devices.
      
      For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
      at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
      wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
      created in /sys/devices.)
      
      Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
      and no longer called a driver.
      
      After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
      sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

      driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devices · 39aba963
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This patch removes the old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 config option,
      but it keeps the logic around to handle block devices in the old manner
      as some people like to run new kernel versions on old (pre 2007/2008)
      distros.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct device · 8e9394ce
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
      device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out)  To
      make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
      different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
      unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
      future.
      
      This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
      converts all in-tree users to them.

      Driver core: add new device to bus's list before probing · 2023c610
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
      bus's list of devices.  Currently this happens after probing, and it
      doesn't happen at all if probing fails.  Clearly this is wrong,
      because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
      created in sysfs.  We are committed to adding the device, so it should
      be linked into the bus's list regardless.
      
      In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
      device gets issued.  Otherwise user programs might try to access the
      device before it has been added to the bus.
      
      To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
      klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
      Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it
      has been renamed to bus_probe_device().  And lastly, the kerneldoc is
      updated.
