  • …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.

  • The existing interface only has a pre-order callback. This change
    adds an additional parameter for a post-order callback which will
    be more useful for bus scans. ACPICA BZ 779.

    Also update the external calls to acpi_walk_namespace.

  • 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.

  • Completed a major update for the acpi_get_object_info external interface.
    Changes include:
    - Support for variable, unlimited length HID, UID, and CID strings
    - Support Processor objects the same as Devices (HID,UID,CID,ADR,STA, etc.)
    - Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object
    - Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge
    - Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO.
    These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface.
    See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for details.

    Also, update all invocations of acpi_get_object_info interface

  • Setup new sysfs framework

    1. Remove /sys/firmware/acpi
    2. Add ACPI device in device tree.

    File "eject" for every device that has _EJ0 method is moved from
    /sys/firmware to /sys/devices.
    Operation on this file is exactly the same as before.
    i.e. echo 1 to "eject" will cause hot removal of this device.
    Corresponding changes should be made in userspace for hot removal.

  • Create new interfaces to recursively add an acpi namespace object to the acpi
    device list, and recursively start the namespace object. This is needed for
    ACPI based hotplug of a root bridge hierarchy where the add operation must be
    performed first and the start operation must be performed separately after the
    hot-plugged devices have been properly configured.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
