2019-01-18driver core: move device->knode_class to device_privateWei Yang1-2/+2
As the description of struct device_private says, it stores data which is private to driver core. And it already has similar fields like: knode_parent, knode_driver, knode_driver and knode_bus. This look it is more proper to put knode_class together with those fields to make it private to driver core. This patch move device->knode_class to device_private to make it comply with code convention. Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Rafael J.

2018-12-06kobject: return error code if writing /sys/.../uevent failsPeter Rajnoha1-1/+7
Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success, even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to generate the uevent itself. With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting a uevent that is not delivered.

The current kref and kobject documentation may be insufficient to understand these common pitfalls regarding object lifetime and object releasing. Add a bit more documentation and improve the warnings seen by the user, pointing to the right piece of documentation. Also, it's important to understand that making fun of people publicly is not at all helpful, doesn't provide any value, and it's not a healthy way of encouraging developers to do better. "Mocking mercilessly" will, if anything, make developers feel bad and go away. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged or justified.

2018-11-26drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node frameworkHeikki Krogerus1-0/+4
Software node is a new struct fwnode_handle type that can be used to describe devices in kernel (software). It is meant to complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when they are incomplete (for example missing device properties) and to supply the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks hardware description for a device completely. The software node type is really meant to replace the currently used "property_set" struct fwnode_handle type. The handling of struct property_set is glued to the generic device property handling code, and it is not possible to create a struct property_set independently from the device that it is bind to. struct property_set is only created when device properties are added to already initialized struct device, and control of it is only possible from the generic property handling code. Software nodes are instead designed to be created independently from the device entries (struct device). It makes them much more flexible, as then the device meant to be bind to the node can be created at a later time, and from another location. It is also possible to bind multiple devices to a single software node if needed. The software node implementation also includes support for node hierarchy, which was the main motivation for this commit. The node hierarchy was something that was requested for the struct property_set, but it did not seem reasonable to try to extend the property_set support for that purpose. struct property_set was really meant only for device property handling like the name suggests. Support for struct property_set is not yet removed in this commit, but it will be in the following one.

2018-11-26drivers core: Prepare support for multiple platform notificationsHeikki Krogerus1-7/+16
Since it should be possible to support several hardware description models at the same time (at least in theory), for example ACPI and devicetree on a running system, the platform notifications need to be handled differently. For now a single "platform_notify" callback function was used to notify the underlying base system which is in charge of the hardware description when a new device entry was added to the system, but that callback is available to only a single base system at the time. This will add a function device_platform_notify() and replace all direct platform_notify() calls with it. device_platform_notify() will first simply call the platform_notify() callback, so this commit has no functional affect, however, the idea is that individual base systems will put their direct notification calls there instead of using the platform_notify function pointer.

For 1st, taking the following scenario: device_shutdown new plugin device list_del_init(parent_dev); spin_unlock(list_lock); device_add(child) probe child shutdown parent_dev --> now child is on the tail of devices_kset For 2nd, taking the following scenario: device_shutdown new plugin device device_add(dev) device_lock(dev); ... device_unlock(dev); probe dev --> now, the new occurred dev has no opportunity to shutdown To fix this race issue, just prevent the new probing request.

2018-07-16drivers: core: Remove glue dirs from sysfs earlierBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+2
For devices with a class, we create a "glue" directory between the parent device and the new device with the class name. This directory is never "explicitely" removed when empty however, this is left to the implicit sysfs removal done by kobject_release() when the object loses its last reference via kobject_put(). This is problematic because as long as it's not been removed from sysfs, it is still present in the class kset and in sysfs directory structure. The presence in the class kset exposes a use after free bug fixed by the previous patch, but the presence in sysfs means that until the kobject is released, which can take a while (especially with kobject debugging), any attempt at re-creating such as binding a new device for that class/parent pair, will result in a sysfs duplicate file name error. This fixes it by instead doing an explicit kobject_del() when the glue dir is empty, by keeping track of the number of child devices of the gluedir. This is made easy by the fact that all glue dir operations are done with a global mutex, and there's already a function (cleanup_glue_dir) called in all the right places taking that mutex that can be enhanced for this. It appears that this was in fact the intent of the function, but the implementation was wrong.

2018-06-14PM / core: Fix supplier device runtime PM usage counter imbalanceRafael J. Wysocki1-4/+11
If a device link is added via device_link_add() by the driver of the link's consumer device, the supplier's runtime PM usage counter is going to be dropped by the pm_runtime_put_suppliers() call in driver_probe_device(). However, in that case it is not incremented unless the supplier driver is already present and the link is not stateless. That leads to a runtime PM usage counter imbalance for the supplier device in a few cases. To prevent that from happening, bump up the supplier runtime PM usage counter in device_link_add() for all links with the DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME flag set that are added at the consumer probe time. Use pm_runtime_get_noresume() for that as the callers of device_link_add() who want the supplier to be resumed by it are expected to pass DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE in flags to it anyway, but additionally resume the supplier if the link is added during consumer driver probe to retain the existing behavior for the callers depending on it.

When bridge and its endpoint is enumerated the devices are added to the dpm list. Afterward, the bridge defers probe when IOMMU is not ready. This causes the bridge to be moved to the end of the dpm list when deferred probe kicks in. The order of the dpm list for bridge and endpoint is reversed. Add reordering code to move the bridge and its children and consumers to the end of the pm list so the order for suspend and resume is not altered. The code also move device and its children and consumers to the tail of device_kset list if it is registered.

2018-02-27driver core: Introduce device links reference countingLukas Wunner1-8/+17
If device_link_add() is invoked multiple times with the same supplier and consumer combo, it will create the link on first addition and return a pointer to the already existing link on all subsequent additions. The semantics for device_link_del() are quite different, it deletes the link unconditionally, so multiple invocations are not allowed. In other words, this snippet ... struct device *dev1, *dev2; struct device_link *link1, *link2; link1 = device_link_add(dev1, dev2, 0); link2 = device_link_add(dev1, dev2, 0); device_link_del(link1); device_link_del(link2); ... causes the following crash: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 2686 at drivers/base/power/runtime.c:1611 pm_runtime_drop_link+0x40/0x50 [...] list_del corruption, 0000000039b800a4->prev is LIST_POISON2 (00000000ecf79852) kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:50!

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

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.

2017-10-25locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()Mark Rutland1-1/+1
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-06-13driver core: add helper to reuse a device-tree nodeJohan Hovold1-0/+16
Add a helper function to be used when reusing the device-tree node of another device. It is fairly common for drivers to reuse the device-tree node of a parent (or other ancestor) device when creating class or bus devices (e.g. gpio chips, i2c adapters, iio chips, spi masters, serdev, phys, usb root hubs). But reusing a device-tree node may cause problems if the new device is later probed as for example driver core would currently attempt to reinitialise an already active associated pinmux configuration. Other potential issues include the platform-bus code unconditionally dropping the device-tree node reference in its device destructor, reinitialisation of other bus-managed resources such as clocks, and the recently added DMA-setup in driver core. Note that for most examples above this is currently not an issue as the devices are never probed, but this is a problem for the USB bus which has recently gained device-tree support. This was discovered and worked-around in a rather ad-hoc fashion by commit dc5878abf49c ("usb: core: move root hub's device node assignment after it is added to bus") by not setting the of_node pointer until after the root-hub device has been registered. Instead we can allow devices to reuse a device-tree node by setting a flag in their struct device that can be used by core, bus and driver code to avoid resources from being over-allocated. Note that the helper also grabs an extra reference to the device node, which specifically balances the unconditional put in the platform-device destructor.

2017-05-25kobject: support passing in variables for synthetic ueventsPeter Rajnoha1-5/+2
This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent as additional environment variables. Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace. Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly identified back in userspace. The format for writing the uevent attribute is following: ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...] There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same ("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch adds support for, are optional. The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners. The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as "SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable. The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as "SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains "SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables. To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID" part for the synthetic uevent first. If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains "SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.
