d05a6f96c7 driver core: add default groups to struct class
We should be using groups, not attribute lists, for classes to allow
subdirectories, and soon, binary files.  Groups are just more flexible
overall, so add them.

The dev_attrs list will go away after all in-kernel users are converted
to use dev_groups.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
  the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
  remains the most active patch submitter.

  To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
  device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
  the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code.  Next are the
  freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
  tasks a bit less heavy weight.

  We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
  issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
  and a bunch of cleanups all over.

  Highlights:

   - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.

     It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
     gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely.  For example,
     if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
     for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
     desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
     rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
     crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
     hot-removal.  Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
     alternative and it had to be addressed.

     However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
     it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
     processor driver.  It's been split into two parts, a resident one
     handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
     playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
     device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
     processors).  That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
     patient who's riding a bike.

     So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
     regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
     (a month ago), nobody has complained.

     As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
     ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
     code.

   - Lighter weight freezing of tasks.

     These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
     targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
     operation.  They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
     during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
     simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
     to call refrigerator().  The time needed for the freezer to decide
     to report a failure is reduced too.

     Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
     trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
     generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).

   - cpufreq updates

     First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
     introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
     attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume.  The
     fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
     has identified the root cause.

     Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
     acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
     related_cpus.  From Lan Tianyu.

     Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
     CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
     up some code.  The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
     from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
     Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.

   - ACPICA update

     A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.

     During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
     sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
     HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
     to use them without checking that bit.  That caused suspend/resume
     regressions to happen on some systems.  Fix from Lv Zheng causes
     those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.

     Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
     are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
     Zhang Rui.

   - cpuidle updates

     New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.

     Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
     kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
     Lezcano.

   - ACPI power management updates

     Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
     Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
     cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
     routine.

   - ACPI documentation updates

     Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
     Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
     uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
     updated by Hanjun Guo.

   - Assorted ACPI updates

     We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
     reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
     against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
     the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
     the core.

     A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
     introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
     fixed on some systems.

     A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
     Mika Westerberg.

     The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
     situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
     returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value.  From
     Jeff Wu.

     Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
     the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
     driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
     Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.

     The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
     put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.

     Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
     Kani.

   - Assorted power management updates

     The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
     values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
     rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
     overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
     necessary any more after that modification).

     The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
     the "runtime idle" behavior change).

     New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
     (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).

     PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.

     Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
     Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.

   - devfreq updates

     New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.

     Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
     Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

   - OMAP power management updates

     Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) SmartReflex voltage control driver
     updates from Andrii Tseglytskyi and Nishanth Menon."

Rafael J. Wysocki
4f3549d72d Driver core: Add offline/online device operations
In some cases, graceful hot-removal of devices is not possible,
although in principle the devices in question support hotplug.
For example, that may happen for the last CPU in the system or
for memory modules holding kernel memory.

In those cases it is nice to be able to check if the given device
can be gracefully hot-removed before triggering a removal procedure
that cannot be aborted or reversed.  Unfortunately, however, the
kernel currently doesn't provide any support for that.

To address that deficiency, introduce support for offline and
online operations that can be performed on devices, respectively,
before a hot-removal and in case when it is necessary (or convenient)
to put a device back online after a successful offline (that has not
been followed by removal).  The idea is that the offline will fail
whenever the given device cannot be gracefully removed from the
system and it will not be allowed to use the device after a
successful offline (until a subsequent online) in analogy with the
existing CPU offline/online mechanism.

For now, the offline and online operations are introduced at the
bus type level, as that should be sufficient for the most urgent use
cases (CPUs and memory modules).  In the future, however, the
approach may be extended to cover some more complicated device
offline/online scenarios involving device drivers etc.

The lock_device_hotplug() and unlock_device_hotplug() functions are
introduced because subsequent patches need to put larger pieces of
code under device_hotplug_lock to prevent race conditions between
device offline and removal from happening.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
  the followings.

   - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
     updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
     This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
     neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.

   - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
     used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
     Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
     affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
     future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
     apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
     the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.

     The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
     shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
     attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
     worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
     items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
     alone.

     This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
     want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
     is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
     are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.

   - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
     to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
     item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
     this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
     bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
     to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.

     After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
     NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
     the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
     system-wide or for individual workqueues.

     Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
     different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
     per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
     be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
     idle cycles.

  While the new features required a lot of changes including
  restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
  The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
  new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
  different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
  execution or flush paths.

  As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
  relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
  basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
  is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
  with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
  changed or during CPU hotplug.

  While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
  more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
  combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
  NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
  CPUs.

  There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
  workqueue tree.

   - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
     pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
     exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
     NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.

   - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
     between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
     they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
     backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
     resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
     printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
     implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
     being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for
their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the
driver core to userspace in order to make this happen.  This means that
some systems (i.e.  Android and friends) will not need to even run a
udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in

d73ce00422 driver/base: implement subsys_virtual_register()
Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to
userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is
symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking
a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent()
isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a
virtual subsystem.

This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out
subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with
virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory.  It's identical to
subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't
gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it.

This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland.

The const is propagated to rtc_class_open() and power_supply_get_by_name()

 3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them all,
 it's up to you.  The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen has been
 doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite easily.
 
 Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here, some

4b6d1f12f9 driver core / PM: move the calling to device_pm_remove behind the calling to bus_remove_device
We hit an hang issue when removing a mmc device on Medfield Android phone by sysfs interface.

device_pm_remove will call pm_runtime_remove which would disable
runtime PM of the device. After that pm_runtime_get* or
pm_runtime_put* will be ignored. So if we disable the runtime PM
before device really be removed, drivers' _remove callback may
access HW even pm_runtime_get* fails. That is bad.

Consider below call sequence when removing a device:
device_del => device_pm_remove
             => class_intf->remove_dev(dev, class_intf)  => pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync
             => bus_remove_device => device_release_driver => pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync

remove_dev might call pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync.
Then, generic device_release_driver also calls pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync.
Since device_del => device_pm_remove firstly, later _get_sync wouldn't really wake up the device.

I git log -p to find the patch which moves the calling to device_pm_remove ahead.
It's below patch:

Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Date:   Sat Jan 12 20:40:46 2008 +0100

     PM: Acquire device locks on suspend

     This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are
     sent to drivers.  The major changes are that now the PM core acquires
     every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
     device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
     during suspends will block.

     It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
     help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
     introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
     and cpuid) that need to use it.

As device_pm_schedule_removal is deleted by another patch, we need also revert other parts of the patch,
i.e. move the calling of device_pm_remove after the calling to bus_remove_device.

798efc60e4 dev_dbg/dynamic_debug: Update to use printk_emit, optimize stack
commit c4e00daaa9
("driver-core: extend dev_printk() to pass structured data")
changed __dev_printk and broke dynamic-debug's ability to control the
dynamic prefix of dev_dbg(dev,..).

commit af7f2158fd
("drivers-core: make structured logging play nice with dynamic-debug")
made a minimal correction.

The current dynamic debug code uses up to 3 recursion levels via %pV.
This can consume quite a bit of stack.  Directly call printk_emit to
reduce the recursion depth.

These changes include:

dev_dbg:
o Create and use function create_syslog_header to format the syslog
  header for printk_emit uses.
o Call create_syslog_header and neaten __dev_printk
o Make __dev_printk static not global
o Remove include header declaration of __dev_printk
o Remove now unused EXPORT_SYMBOL() of __dev_printk
o Whitespace neatening

dynamic_dev_dbg:
o Remove KERN_DEBUG from dynamic_emit_prefix
o Call create_syslog_header and printk_emit
o Whitespace neatening

af7f2158fd drivers-core: make structured logging play nice with dynamic-debug
commit c4e00daaa9 changed __dev_printk
in a way that broke dynamic-debug's ability to control the dynamic
prefix of dev_dbg(dev,..), but not dev_dbg(NULL,..) or pr_debug(..),
which is why it wasnt noticed sooner.

When dev==NULL, __dev_printk() just calls printk(), which just works.
But otherwise, it assumed that level was always a string like "<L>"
and just plucked out the 'L', ignoring the rest.  However,
dynamic_emit_prefix() adds "[tid] module:func:line:" to the string,
those additions all got lost.

d1c3414c2a drivercore: Add driver probe deferral mechanism
Allow drivers to report at probe time that they cannot get all the resources
required by the device, and should be retried at a later time.

This should completely solve the problem of getting devices
initialized in the right order.  Right now this is mostly handled by
mucking about with initcall ordering which is a complete hack, and
doesn't even remotely handle the case where device drivers are in
modules.  This approach completely sidesteps the issues by allowing
driver registration to occur in any order, and any driver can request
to be retried after a few more other drivers get probed.

v4: - Integrate Manjunath's addition of a separate workqueue
    - Change -EAGAIN to -EPROBE_DEFER for drivers to trigger deferral
    - Update comment blocks to reflect how the code really works
v3: - Hold off workqueue scheduling until late_initcall so that the bulk
      of driver probes are complete before we start retrying deferred devices.
    - Tested with simple use cases.  Still needs more testing though.
      Using it to get rid of the gpio early_initcall madness, or to replace
      the ASoC internal probe deferral code would be ideal.
v2: - added locking so it should no longer be utterly broken in that regard
    - remove device from deferred list at device_del time.
    - Still completely untested with any real use case, but has been
      boot tested.

07d57a32fb drivercore: Output common devicetree information in uevent
When userspace needs to find a specific device, it currently isn't easy to
resolve a /sys/devices/ path from a specific device tree node.  Nor is it
easy to obtain the compatible list for devices.

This patch generalizes the code that inserts OF_* values into the uevent
device attribute so that any device that is attached to an OF node will
have that information exported to userspace.  Without this patch only
platform devices and some powerpc-specific busses have access to this
data.

The original function also creates a MODALIAS property for the compatible
list, but that code has not been generalized into the common case because
it has the potential to break module loading on a lot of bus types.  Bus
types are still responsible for their own MODALIAS properties.

Boot tested on ARM and compile tested on PowerPC and SPARC.

b10d5efdf7 Documentation update for the driver model core
This patch (as1509) documents two important points regarding the use
of device structures in the driver model:

	Structures must be initialized to all 0's before they are
	passed to device_initialize().

	Structures must not be passed to device_add() or
	device_register() more than once.

Although these restrictions have applied ever since the driver model
was first created, they have not been mentioned anywhere.

ff4b8a57f0 Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2
This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au> who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

ca22e56deb driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses
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.

fe6b91f470 PM / Driver core: leave runtime PM enabled during system shutdown
Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a
good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a
low-power state at that time.

The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to
prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls.  This patch (as1504)
accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each
device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish.  This
is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which
makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog
of the pm->poweroff method.

This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by
commit af8db1508f (PM / driver core:
disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

af8db1508f PM / driver core: disable device's runtime PM during shutdown
There may be an issue when the user issue "reboot/shutdown" command, then
the device has shut down its hardware, after that, this runtime-pm featured
device's driver will probably be scheduled to do its suspend routine,
and at its suspend routine, it may access hardware, but the device has
already shutdown physically, then the system hang may be occurred.

I ran out this issue using an auto-suspend supported USB devices, like
3G modem, keyboard. The usb runtime suspend routine may be scheduled
after the usb controller has been shut down, and the usb runtime suspend
routine will try to suspend its roothub(controller), it will access
register, then the system hang occurs as the controller is shutdown.

Add a new function similar to dynamic_pr_debug to
