  • All these are instances of
    #define NAME value;
    or
    #define NAME(params_opt) value;

    These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
    if(foo $OP NAME)
    while(bar $OP NAME)
    and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
    foo = NAME + 1; /* foo = value; + 1; */
    bar = NAME - 1; /* bar = value; - 1; */
    baz = NAME & quux; /* baz = value; & quux; */

    Reported on comp.lang.c,
    Message-ID:
    Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.

    There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
    trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
    values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
    in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)

  • sysfs I/F for ACPI power devices, including AC and Battery,
    has been working in upstream kenrel since 2.6.24, Sep 2007.
    In 2.6.37, we made the sysfs I/F always built in and this option
    disabled by default.
    Now, we plan to remove this option and the ACPI power procfs
    interface in 2.6.39.

    First, update the feature-removal-schedule to announce this change.
    Second, add runtime warnings in ACPI AC/Battery/SBS driver, so that
    users will notice this change even if "make oldconfig" is used.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
    however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
    should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.

    Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.

    This does not change any actual console output,
    asside from a whitespace fix.

  • Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
    as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
    ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
    in module refcount underflow.

    We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
    and ->data.

    But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
    and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
    switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
    some thoughts.

    ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
    protection.

    rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
    And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
    We definitely don't want such modular code.

    Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

    So, let's nuke it.

    Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

  • Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
    attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to
    ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now
    time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
    a time!

    This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
    CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on
    as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
    can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
    and boot tested.

    akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
    `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
    new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

    [akpm: remove the ifdef for now]

  • The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
    user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.

    However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
    and they already report their events via the input layer.

    Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
    which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
    events via netlink. This allows the input-like events
    to opt-out of generating netlink events. In summary:

    events that are sent via netlink:
    ac/battery/sbs
    thermal
    processor
    thinkpad_acpi dock/bay

    events that are sent via input layer:
    button
    video hotkey
    thinkpad_acpi hotkey
    asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
    sonypi/sonylaptop
