kernel test robot 443121b3eb selftests/fpu: Fix debugfs_simple_attr.cocci warning
lib/test_fpu.c:66:0-23: WARNING: test_fpu_fops should be defined with DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE

 Use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE rather than DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE
 for debugfs files.

Semantic patch information:

 Rationale: DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file()
 imposes some significant overhead as compared to
 DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file_unsafe().

In order to protect against file removal races, debugfs files created
via debugfs_create_file() now get wrapped by a struct file_operations
at their opening.

If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against
removal races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed
by creating the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe().

In order to help debugfs users who use the common
DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file() idiom to
transition to removal safe struct file_operations, the helper macro
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() has been introduced.

Thus, the preferred strategy is to use
  DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
now.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
