4c002c978b device.h: move 'struct driver' stuff out to device/driver.h
device.h has everything and the kitchen sink when it comes to struct
device things, so split out the struct driver things things to a
separate .h file to make things easier to maintain and manage over time.

92ce7e83b4 driver_find_device: Unify the match function with class_find_device()
The driver_find_device() accepts a match function pointer to
filter the devices for lookup, similar to bus/class_find_device().
However, there is a minor difference in the prototype for the
match parameter for driver_find_device() with the now unified
version accepted by {bus/class}_find_device(), where it doesn't
accept a "const" qualifier for the data argument. This prevents
us from reusing the generic match functions for driver_find_device().

For this reason, change the prototype of the driver_find_device() to
make the "match" parameter in line with {bus/class}_find_device()
and adjust its callers to use the const qualifier. Also, we could
now promote the "data" parameter to const as we pass it down
as a const parameter to the match functions.

0dda2bb624 driver-core: return EINVAL error instead of BUG_ON()
I triggerd the BUG_ON() in driver_register() when booting a domU Xen
domain. Since there was no contextual information logged, I needed to
attach kgdb to determine the culprit (the wmi-bmof driver in my
case). The BUG_ON() was added in commit f48f3febb2 ("driver-core: do
not register a driver with bus_type not registered").

Instead of running into a BUG_ON() we print an error message
identifying the, likely faulty, driver but continue booting.

3282570990 driver core: Remove redundant license text
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.

989d42e85d driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files
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.

094e47e9fa Driver Core: don't oops with unregistered driver in driver_find_device()
driver_find_device() can be called with an unregistered driver. Need
to check driver_private to see if it's populated or not, especially
under deferrable probe.

In the case that there are 2 drivers, one depends on the other. With
-EPROBE_DEFER, two drivers can use deferred probe to ensure that their
relative probe order doesn't matter. If dependee driver is probed
first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee')
succeeds. If the dependant is probed first, then the dependant's
driver_find_device('dependee') should return NULL, and the dependant
should get -EPROBE_DEFER. driver_find_device() needs to return NULL if
it's not populated.

In [PATCHv5 2/3] ARM: tegra: Add SMMU enabler in AHB:
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.tegra/4658

5375871d43 Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
  bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
  arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
  rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
  maintain and that nobody really used anymore.

  Here are some of the highlights:

   - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
     and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
     they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
     hopefully.

   - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
     previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
     mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
     new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks
     Mahesh Salgaonkar.

   - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
     spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
     new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.

     The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
     there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
     not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
     that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
     before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
     getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
     Shan.

   - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
     way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
     "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
     a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
     fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.

   - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
     of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

fde25a9b63 Driver core: driver_find() drops reference before returning
As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch
(as1510) changes driver_find(); it now drops the reference it acquires
before returning.  The patch also adjusts all the callers of
driver_find() to remove the now unnecessary calls to put_driver().

In addition, the patch adds a warning to driver_find(): Callers must
make sure the driver they are searching for does not get unloaded
while they are using it.  This has always been the case; driver_find()
has never prevented a driver from being unregistered or unloaded.
Hence the patch will not introduce any new bugs.  The existing callers
all seem to be okay in this respect, however I don't understand the
video drivers well enough to be certain about them.

5a0e3ad6af 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.

39acbc12af Driver core: fix driver_register() return value

the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device
on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the
-EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore
doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying
to register for the same device.  Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

d478376cb0 driver core: fix small mem leak in driver_add_kobj()
The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in
int driver_add_kobj().  The leak looks legit to me - this is the code :

int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
                    const char *fmt, ...)
{
        va_list args;
        char *name;
        int ret;

        va_start(args, fmt);
        name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
        ^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...

        va_end(args);

        if (!name)
                return -ENOMEM;

        return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
	^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}

Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used.  As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
configmation before the patch is applied.

This should fix it.

cbe9c595f1 Driver: add driver_add_kobj for looney iseries_veth driver
The iseries driver wants to hang kobjects off of its driver, so, to
preserve backwards compatibility, we need to add a call to the driver
core to allow future changes to work properly.

Hopefully no one uses this function in the future and the iseries_veth
driver authors come to their senses so I can remove this hack...

c6f7e72a3f driver core: remove fields from struct bus_type
struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel.  This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure.  This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.

Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch.

Having 3 static kobjects in one structure is not only foolish, but ripe

outside of the driver core...)

74e9f5fa15 Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.

Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

81107bf531 Driver core: Remove unneeded routines from driver core
This patch (as783) simplifies the driver core slightly by removing four
unnecessary _get and _put methods.

It is vital that when a driver is removed from its bus's klist of
registered drivers, or when a device is removed from a driver's klist
of bound devices, that the klist updates complete synchronously.
Otherwise the kernel might try binding an unregistered driver to a
newly-registered device, or adding a device to the klist for a new
driver before it has been removed from the old driver's klist.

Since the removals must be synchronous, they don't need to update any
reference counts.  Hence the _get and _put methods can be dispensed
with.

Since the bus methods override the device_driver methods, warn

The long-term idea is to remove the device_driver methods entirely.

34bb61f9dd [PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified.  The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case).  The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.

The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)
