Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __init in the definition
of notifier_call. It is incorrect as the function definition should be
available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during
initializations).
This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_call __init
section.

Print more diagnostic info to help identify the source of power management
suspend failures.
Example:
usb_hcd_pci_suspend(): pci_set_power_state+0x0/0x1af() returns -22
pci_device_suspend(): usb_hcd_pci_suspend+0x0/0x11b() returns -22
suspend_device(): pci_device_suspend+0x0/0x34() returns -22
Work-in-progress. It needs lots more suspend_report_result() calls sprinkled

The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return
the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device.
driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the
device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the
device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just
return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf
or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing
was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and
failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in
which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string.
A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate
the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1
and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that
change.

This patch (as667) changes the __device_release_driver() routine to
prevent it from crashing when it runs across a device not on any bus.
This seems logical, inasmuch as the corresponding bus_add_device()
routine has an explicit check allowing it to accept such devices.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain

net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain
BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain

kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier

kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Morton.

The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs.
Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo.
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
represent the physical package id of cpu X;
2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
represent the cpu core id to cpu X;
3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:
represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core;
4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:
represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package;
To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes.
If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to
implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
The 4 defines are:
#define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
#define topology_core_id(cpu)
#define topology_thread_siblings(cpu)
#define topology_core_siblings(cpu)
The type of **_id is int.
The type of siblings is cpumask_t.
To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have
deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule.
1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the
default value.
2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0.
3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
HT/multi-thread.
4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
multi-core and HT/Multi-thread.
So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported.
Thank Nathan, Greg, Andi, Paul and Venki.
The patch provides defines for i386/x86_64/ia64.

This patch changes device_shutdown() to use the newly introduced safe
reverse list traversal. We experienced loops on system reboot if we had
removed and re-inserted our device from the device list.
We noticed this problem on PPC405. Our PCI IDE device comes and goes a lot.
Our hypothesis was that there was a loop caused by the driver->shutdown
freeing memory. It is possible that we do something wrong as well, but
being unable to reboot is kind of nasty.

the way we handle the suspend/resume methods.

This patch (as604) makes the driver core hold a device's parent's lock
as well as the device's lock during calls to the probe and remove
methods in a driver. This facility is needed by USB device drivers,
owing to the peculiar way USB devices work:
A device provides multiple interfaces, and drivers are bound
to interfaces rather than to devices;
Nevertheless a reset, reset-configuration, suspend, or resume
affects the entire device and requires the caller to hold the
lock for the device, not just a lock for one of the interfaces.
Since a USB driver's probe method is always called with the interface
lock held, the locking order rules (always lock parent before child)
prevent these methods from acquiring the device lock. The solution
provided here is to call all probe and remove methods, for all devices
(not just USB), with the parent lock already acquired.
Although currently only the USB subsystem requires these changes, people
have mentioned in prior discussion that the overhead of acquiring an
extra semaphore in all the prove/remove sequences is not overly large.
Up to now, the USB core has been using its own set of private
semaphores. A followup patch will remove them, relying entirely on the
device semaphores provided by the driver core.
The code paths affected by this patch are:
device_add and device_del: The USB core already holds the parent
lock, so no actual change is needed.
driver_register and driver_unregister: The driver core will now
lock both the parent and the device before probing or removing.
driver_bind and driver_unbind (in sysfs): These routines will
now lock both the parent and the device before binding or
unbinding.
bus_rescan_devices: The helper routine will lock the parent
before probing a device.
I have not tested this patch for conflicts with other subsystems. As
far as I can see, the only possibility of conflict would lie in the
bus_rescan_devices pathway, and it seems pretty remote. Nevertheless,
it would be good for this to get a lot of testing in -mm.

Manual #include fixups for clashes - there may be some unnecessary
|
|
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/
need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will
just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu.
sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such
entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The
issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we
would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes.
Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem.
