  • Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
    "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

    They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
    drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
    just removing a line in a structure.

    Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
    are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
    acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
    changes.

    Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

  • module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
    fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
    trick.

    It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
    it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

  • Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled],
    We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled
    and we even check and yell when an interrupt handler
    returns with interrupts enabled (see commit [b738a50a:
    genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).

    So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

  • of_device is just an alias for platform_device, so remove it entirely. Also
    replace to_of_device() with to_platform_device() and update comment blocks.

    This patch was initially generated from the following semantic patch, and then
    edited by hand to pick up the bits that coccinelle didn't catch.

  • Both of_bus_type and of_platform_bus_type are just #define aliases
    for the platform bus. This patch removes all references to them and
    switches to the of_register_platform_driver()/of_unregister_platform_driver()
    API for registering.

    Subsequent patches will convert each user of of_register_platform_driver()
    into plain platform_drivers without the of_platform_driver shim. At which
    point the of_register_platform_driver()/of_unregister_platform_driver()
    functions can be removed.

  • This patch moves SPARC architecture specific data members out of
    struct of_device and into the pdev_archdata structure. The reason
    for this change is to unify the struct of_device definition amongst
    all the architectures. It also remvoes the .sysdata, .slot, .portid
    and .clock_freq properties because they aren't actually used by
    anything.

    A subsequent patch will replace struct of_device entirely with struct
    platform_device and the of_platform support code will share common
    routines with the platform bus (but the bus instances themselves can
    remain separate).

    This patch also adds 'struct resources *resource' and num_resources
    to match the fields defined in struct platform_device. After this
    change, 'struct platform_device' can be used as a drop-in replacement
    for 'struct of_platform'.

    This change is in preparation for merging the of_platform_bus_type
    with the platform_bus_type.

  • .name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver
    and device_driver. This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct
    of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members.

    This patch is a pretty mechanical change. The usage model doesn't change
    and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up
    incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup
    will be trivial. This patch looks big and scary because it touches so
    many files, but it should be pretty safe.

  • …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.
