1a6f2a7512 Driver core: allow certain drivers prohibit bind/unbind via sysfs
Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound
to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe()
routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind'
leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create
bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.

e454cea20b Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions
This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

2b2af54a5b Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.

Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.

If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.

If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.

It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.

4622709445 Driver core: Add support for compatibility classes
When turning class devices into bus devices, we may need to
temporarily add links in sysfs so that user-space applications
are not confused. This is done by adding the following API:

* Functions to register and unregister compatibility classes.
  These appear in sysfs at the same location as regular classes, but
  instead of class devices, they contain links to bus devices.
* Functions to create and delete such links. Additionally, the caller
  can optionally pass a target device to which a "device" link should
  point (typically that would be the device's parent), to fully emulate
  the original class device.

The i2c subsystem will be the first user of this API, as i2c adapters
are being converted from class devices to bus devices.

e67c85626c Revert driver core: move platform_data into platform_device
This reverts commit 006f4571a1:

	This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
	struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:

	1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
	   which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
	   of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
	   platform_device;

	2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
	   decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.

	Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
	can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
	keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
	all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
	platform_device->platform_data.

	All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.

As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

d4d5291c8c driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advanced
There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.

Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)

This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

ffa6a7054d Driver core: Fix device_move() vs. dpm list ordering, v2
dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will
be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend
order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as
an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered
one.

This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers
to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

f67f129e51 Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

adf094931f PM: Simplify the new suspend/hibernation framework for devices
PM: Simplify the new suspend/hibernation framework for devices

Following the discussion at the Kernel Summit, simplify the new
device PM framework by merging 'struct pm_ops' and
'struct pm_ext_ops' and removing pointers to 'struct pm_ext_ops'
from 'struct platform_driver' and 'struct pci_driver'.

After this change, the suspend/hibernation callbacks will only
reside in 'struct device_driver' as well as at the bus type/
device class/device type level.  Accordingly, PCI and platform
device drivers are now expected to put their suspend/hibernation
callbacks into the 'struct device_driver' embedded in
'struct pci_driver' or 'struct platform_driver', respectively.

message (including filename/line, module list, versions and a backtrace)
is printed in addition to the device name and the arguments.

346e15beb5 driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.

The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.

Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
their own debug levels and flags.

Usage:

Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:

	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
		.
		.
		.

	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not

For example:

	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
	fixup enabled=1
	driver enabled=0

Enable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Enable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

5a3ceb8616 driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iterator
Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially
when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely.  This
patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class
device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control
structure.  The users are also free to call back into class code
without worrying about locking.

class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use
the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking
anymore either.

Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch
because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization
with device removal.

bf9ca69fc8 dev_printk(): constify the `dev' argument
Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that
dev_printk doesn't modify dev.  This is a prerequisite to adding more
const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can
modify dev and which can't.
