Paul Mundt bd05086bbe driver core: Convert to kasprintf() for early dev_name().
This is just a simple refactoring patch on top of the early dev_name()
support, converting from kstrdup() to kasprintf() as suggested by Kay.

Paul Mundt ec0ffe2ee0 sh: Kill off all timer name clobbering.
Now that dev_name() can be used early, we no longer require a static
string. Kill off all of the superfluous timer names.

Paul Mundt 214a607a4f clocksource: Use dev_name() universally across the SH drivers.
There is no need to copy in the name from the sh timer config now that
dev_name() is available early. We prefer the dev_name() variant for
consistent naming.

Paul Mundt a636ee7fb3 driver core: Early dev_name() support.
Presently early platform devices suffer from the fact they are unable to
use dev_xxx() calls early on due to dev_name() and others being
unavailable at the time ->probe() is called.

This implements early init_name construction from the matched name/id
pair following the semantics of the late device/driver match. As a
result, matched IDs (inclusive of requested ones) are preserved when the
handoff from the early platform code happens at kobject initialization
time.

Since we still require kmalloc slabs to be available at this point, using
kstrdup() for establishing the init_name works fine. This subsequently
needs to be tested from dev_name() prior to the init_name being cleared
by the driver core. We don't kfree() since others will already have a
handle on the string long before the kobject initialization takes place.

This is also needed to permit drivers to use the clock framework early,
without having to manually construct their own device IDs from the match
id/name pair locally (needed by the early console and timer code on sh
and arm).

Hendrik Brueckner 1ffaa640c6 [S390] smsgiucv_app: deliver z/VM CP special messages (SMSG) as uevents
The smsgiucv_app driver registers a callback with the smsgiucv driver
to receive z/VM CP special messages (SMSG) starting with "APP".

When the callback is called for special messages, the driver creates
an uevent for the received message.  The uevent consists of additional
environment data containing the message prefix ("APP"), message sender,
and message content.

udev rules can be used to trigger application specific actions through
matching the content or sender of the special message.

Because the IUCV ignores the higher bits of the address, sending and

Greg Kroah-Hartman 8e9394ce24 Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct device
In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out)  To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.

This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

Eric W. Biederman 19c38b632d sysfs: Pack sysfs_dirent more tightly.
Placing the 16bit s_mode between a pointer and a long doesn't pack well
especailly on 64bit where we wast 48 bits.  So move s_mode and
declare it as a unsigned short.  This is the sysfs backing store
after all we don't need fields extra large just in case someday
we want userspace to be able to use a larger value.

Eric W. Biederman f8d4f618fe sysfs: Serialize updates to the vfs inode
The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode.   Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.

Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held.  Therefore sysfs  can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.

The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

Eric W. Biederman 361795b1eb sysfs: Use sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on module dynamic attributes
A little more whack-a-mole annotating the dynamic sysfs attributes.  I
had everything built into my earlier test kernel, and so I missed
these.

Eric W. Biederman 35960258ed sysfs: Document sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init
I have added a new requirement to the external sysfs interface
that dynamically allocated sysfs attributes must call sysfs_attr_init
if lockdep is enabled.  For the time being callying sysfs_attr_init
is only mandatory if lockdep is enabled, so we can live with a few
unconverted instances until we find them all.  As this is part of
the public interface of sysfs it is a good idea to document these
pseudo functions so someone inspeciting the code can find out
what has happened.

Eric W. Biederman a07e4156a2 sysfs: Use sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on dynamic attributes
These are the non-static sysfs attributes that exist on
my test machine.  Fix them to use sysfs_attr_init or
sysfs_bin_attr_init as appropriate.   It simply requires
making a sysfs attribute present to see this.  So this
is a little bit tedious but otherwise not too bad.

Eric W. Biederman 6992f53349 sysfs: Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute.
Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.

There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files.   Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.

This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

Eric W. Biederman a2db684287 sysfs: Only take active references on attributes.
If we exclude directories and symlinks from the set of sysfs
dirents where we need active references we are left with
sysfs attributes (binary or not).

- Tweak sysfs_deactivate to only do something on attributes
- Move lockdep initialization into sysfs_file_add_mode to
  limit it to just attributes.

Eric W. Biederman e72ceb8cca sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two
It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless.  The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed.  Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.
