* debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_fileArend van Spriel2014-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a helper function that simplifies adding a so-called single_open sequence file for device drivers. The calling device driver needs to provide a read function and a device pointer. The field struct seq_file::private will reference the device pointer upon call to the read function so the driver can obtain his data from it and do its task of providing the file content using seq_printf() calls and alike. Using this helper function also gets rid of the need to specify file operations per debugfs file.

* drivers: base: support cpu cache information interface to userspace via sysfsSudeep Holla2014-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds initial support for providing processor cache information to userspace through sysfs interface. This is based on already existing implementations(x86, ia64, s390 and powerpc) and hence the interface is intended to be fully compatible. The main purpose of this generic support is to avoid further code duplication to support new architectures and also to unify all the existing different implementations. This implementation maintains the hierarchy of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology. Cache devices are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. The cache information is replicated per-cpu even if they are shared. A per-cpu array of cache information maintained is used mainly for sysfs-related book keeping. It also implements the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for enabling both kernel and user-space to discover the system's overall cache topology. This patch also add the missing ABI documentation for the cacheinfo sysfs interface already, which is well defined and widely used.

* drivers: base: add cpu_device_create to support per-cpu devicesSudeep Holla2014-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new function to create per-cpu devices. This helps in: 1. reusing the device infrastructure to create any cpu related attributes and corresponding sysfs instead of creating and dealing with raw kobjects directly 2. retaining the legacy path(/sys/devices/system/cpu/..) to support existing sysfs ABI 3. avoiding to create links in the bus directory pointing to the device as there would be per-cpu instance of these devices with the same name since dev->bus is not populated to cpu_sysbus on purpose Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com> Tested-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
* cpumask: factor out show_cpumap into separate helper functionSudeep Holla2014-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many sysfs *_show function use cpu{list,mask}_scnprintf to copy cpumap to the buffer aligned to PAGE_SIZE, append '\n' and '\0' to return null terminated buffer with newline. This patch creates a new helper function cpumap_print_to_pagebuf in cpumask.h using newly added bitmap_print_to_pagebuf and consolidates most of those sysfs functions using the new helper function.

* sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.NeilBrown2014-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md/raid allows metadata management to be performed in user-space. A various times, particularly on device failure, the metadata needs to be updated before further writes can be permitted. This means that the user-space program which updates metadata much not block on writeout, and so must not allocate memory. mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and pre-allocation can avoid all memory allocation issues for user-memory, but that does not help kernel memory. Several kernel objects can be pre-allocated. e.g. files opened before any writes to the array are permitted. However some kernel allocation happens in places that cannot be pre-allocated. In particular, writes to sysfs files (to tell md that it can now allow writes to the array) allocate a buffer using GFP_KERNEL. This patch allows attributes to be marked as "PREALLOC". In that case the maximal buffer is allocated when the file is opened, and then used on each write instead of allocating a new buffer. As the same buffer is now shared for all writes on the same file description, the mutex is extended to cover full use of the buffer including the copy_from_user(). The new __ATTR_PREALLOC() 'or's a new flag in to the 'mode', which is inspected by sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() to determine if the file should be marked as requiring prealloc. Despite the comment, we *do* use ->seq_show together with ->prealloc in this patch. The next patch fixes that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 9447057eaff8 ("platform_device: use a macro instead of platform_driver_register"), platform_driver_register() always overwrites the .owner field of a platform_driver with THIS_MODULE. This breaks platform_create_bundle() which uses it via platform_driver_probe() from within the platform core instead of the module init. Fix it by using a similar #define construct to obtain THIS_MODULE and pass it on later.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | m25p80's device ID table is now spi_nor_ids, defined in spi-nor. The MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro doesn't work with extern definitions, but its use was also removed at the same time. Now if m25p80 is built as a module it doesn't get the necessary aliases to be loaded automatically. A clean solution to this will involve defining the list of device IDs in spi-nor.h and removing struct spi_device_id from the spi-nor API, but this is quite a large change. As a quick fix suitable for stable, copy the device IDs back into m25p80.

Instead of returning a short read for a read that extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device, these reads now return EIO. The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks, prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.
