Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.
Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().

If device_add() is called with a device which does not have dev->p set
up, then device_private_init() is called. If that succeeds, then the
error variable is set to 0. Now if the dev_name(dev) check further
down fails, then device_add() correctly terminates, but returns 0.
That of course lets the driver progress. If later another driver uses
this half set up device as parent then device_add() of the child
device explodes and renders sysfs completely unusable.
Set the error to -EINVAL if dev_name() check fails.

device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not
clean up any kernel data structures. Therefore don't put the kobjects
for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char.
This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while
we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices.

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.
Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.
If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.
If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.
It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.

This patch (as1271) affects when new devices get linked into their
bus's list of devices. Currently this happens after probing, and it
doesn't happen at all if probing fails. Clearly this is wrong,
because at that point quite a few symbolic links have already been
created in sysfs. We are committed to adding the device, so it should
be linked into the bus's list regardless.
In addition, this needs to happen before the uevent announcing the new
device gets issued. Otherwise user programs might try to access the
device before it has been added to the bus.
To fix both these problems, the patch moves the call to
klist_add_tail() forward from bus_attach_device() to bus_add_device().
Since bus_attach_device() now does nothing but probe for drivers, it
has been renamed to bus_probe_device(). And lastly, the kerneldoc is
updated.

notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices
it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.
for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.
later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree. pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.
actually in device_add
/* first, register with generic layer. */
error = kobject_add(&dev->kobj, dev->kobj.parent, "%s", dev_name(dev));
if (error)
goto Error;
will get one new name for that kobj, old name is freed.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

Commit 3ada8b7e ("block: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(),
dev_set_name()") deleted the code in register_disk() that changed a '/'
to a '!' in the device name when registering a disk, but dev_set_name()
does not perform this conversion.
This leads to amusing problems with disks that have '/' in their names:
for example a failure to boot with the root partition on a cciss device,
even though the kernel says it knows about the root device:
VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/c0d0p6" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
6800 71652960 cciss/c0d0 driver: cciss
6802 1 cciss/c0d0p2
6805 2931831 cciss/c0d0p5
6806 34354908 cciss/c0d0p6
6810 71652960 cciss/c0d1 driver: cciss
Fix this by adding code to change '/' to '!' in dev_set_name() to handle
this until dev_set_name() is converted to use kobject_set_name().

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.
kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.
kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do.
This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.
This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.
This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject
level that we don't.

Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially
when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This
patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class
device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control
structure. The users are also free to call back into class code
without worrying about locking.
class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use
the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking
anymore either.
Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch
because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization
with device removal.

This gives us a way to handle both the bus_id and init_name values being
used for a while during the transition period.

This patch (as1124) fixes a couple of bugs in the PM core. The new
dev->power.status field should be initialized regardless of whether
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is enabled, and similarly dpm_sysfs_add() should be
called whenever CONFIG_PM is enabled.
The patch separates out the call to dpm_sysfs_add() from the call to
device_pm_add(). As a result device_pm_add() can no longer return an
error, so its return type is changed to void.

Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that
dev_printk doesn't modify dev. This is a prerequisite to adding more
const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can
modify dev and which can't.

Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message
becomes part of the warning section for better reporting/collection.

driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().
Renaming network devices to an already existing name is not
something we want sysfs to print a scary warning for, since the
callers can deal with this correctly. So let's introduce
sysfs_create_link_nowarn() which gets rid of the common warning.

Now that the lockdep infrastructure in the class core is in place, we
should be able to properly change the internal class semaphore to be a
mutex.
David wrote the original patch, and Greg fixed it up to apply properly
due to all of the recent changes in this area.

This renames the struct class "sem" field to be "class_sem" to make
things easier when struct bus_type and struct class merge in the future.
It also makes grepping for fields easier as well.
Based on an idea from Kay.
