  • …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.

  • Add the MAX7300-I2C variant of the MAX7301-SPI version. Both chips share
    the same core logic, so the generic part of the in-kernel SPI-driver is
    refactored into a generic part. The I2C and SPI specific funtions are
    then wrapped into seperate drivers picking up the generic part.

  • This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...). I'm
    not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason.

    This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.

  • The remove member of the spi_driver max7301_driver uses __devexit_p(), so
    the remove function itself should be marked with __devexit. Even more so
    considering the probe function is marked with __devinit.

  • A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with
    missing setup parameters such as the platform data. However, returning
    -ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it
    assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative.

    To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change
    to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the
    driver data was not valid.

    Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an
    better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the
    driver.

  • There is a small race and code ugliness in max7301: pins are reconfigured
    after the chip is registered. Swap these calls so that the device is
    registered in correct state.

    Also this fixes the comile-time warning about unchecked gpiochip_remove.

  • Make the SPI external GPIO expander drivers register themselves at
    subsys_initcall() time when they're statically linked, and make the SPI
    core do its driver model initialization earlier so that's safe.

    SOC-integrated GPIOs are available starting very early -- often before
    initcalls start to run, or earily in arch_initcall() at latest -- so this
    improves consistency, letting more subsystems rely on GPIOs being usable
    by their own subsys_initcall() code.
