drivers: base: Move cpu_dev_init() after node_dev_init()

NUMA systems require the node descriptions to be ready before CPUs are
registered. This is so that the node symlinks can be created in sysfs.

Currently no NUMA platform uses GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES, meaning that CPUs
are registered by arch code, instead of cpu_dev_init().

Move cpu_dev_init() after node_dev_init() so that NUMA architectures
can use GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES.

init: Initialize noop_backing_dev_info early

noop_backing_dev_info is used by superblocks of various
pseudofilesystems such as kdevtmpfs. After commit 10e14073107d
("writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock
error") this broke because __mark_inode_dirty() started to access more
fields from noop_backing_dev_info and this led to crashes inside
locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() called from __mark_inode_dirty().
Fix the problem by initializing noop_backing_dev_info before the
filesystems get mounted.

drivers/base/node: consolidate node device subsystem initialization in node_dev_init()

... and call node_dev_init() after memory_dev_init() from driver_init(),
so before any of the existing arch/subsys calls. All online nodes should
be known at that point: early during boot, arch code determines node and
zone ranges and sets the relevant nodes online; usually this happens in
setup_arch().

This is in line with memory_dev_init(), which initializes the memory
device subsystem and creates all memory block devices.

Similar to memory_dev_init(), panic() if anything goes wrong, we don't
want to continue with such basic initialization errors.

The important part is that node_dev_init() gets called after
memory_dev_init() and after cpu_dev_init(), but before any of the relevant
archs call register_cpu() to register the new cpu device under the node
device. The latter should be the case for the current users of
topology_init().

driver core: auxiliary bus: Fix calling stage for auxiliary bus init

When the auxiliary device code is built into the kernel, it can be executed
before the auxiliary bus is registered. This causes bus->p to be not
allocated and triggers a NULL pointer dereference when the auxiliary bus
device gets added with bus_add_device(). Call the auxiliary_bus_init()
under driver_init() so the bus is initialized before devices.

Below is the kernel splat for the bug:

base: fix order of OF initialization

This fixes: [ 0.010000] cpu cpu0: Error -2 creating of_node link
... which you get for every CPU on all architectures that use
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES.

In that case, driver_init() calls cpu_dev_init() before calling
of_core_init(). Then we get the callchain:

cpu_dev_init()
-> cpu_dev_register_generic()
-> register_cpu(cpu, i)
-> device_register(&cpu->dev)
-> device_add(dev)
-> device_add_class_symlinks(dev)

... in device_add_class_symlinks, we we dev->of_node, and call
sysfs_create_link(), which fails because we haven't called
of_core_init() to register the sysfs devicetree directory yet.

driver core: Remove redundant license text

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

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.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license

the full boiler plate text.

ACPI / hotplug / driver core: Handle containers in a special way

ACPI container devices require special hotplug handling, at least
on some systems, since generally user space needs to carry out
system-specific cleanup before it makes sense to offline devices in
the container. However, the current ACPI hotplug code for containers
first attempts to offline devices in the container and only then it
notifies user space of the container offline.

Moreover, after commit 202317a573b2 (ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device
objects for all device nodes in the namespace), ACPI device objects
representing containers are present as long as the ACPI namespace
nodes corresponding to them are present, which may be forever, even
if the container devices are physically detached from the system (the
return values of the corresponding _STA methods change in those
cases, but generally the namespace nodes themselves are still there).
Thus it is useful to introduce entities representing containers that
will go away during container hot-unplug.

The goal of this change is to address both the above issues.

The idea is to create a "companion" container system device for each
of the ACPI container device objects during the initial namespace
scan or on a hotplug event making the container present. That system
device will be unregistered on container removal. A new bus type
for container devices is added for this purpose, because device
offline and online operations need to be defined for them. The
online operation is a trivial function that is always successful
and the offline uses a callback pointed to by the container device's
offline member.

For ACPI containers that callback simply walks the list of ACPI
device objects right below the container object (its children) and
checks if all of their physical companion devices are offline. If
that's not the case, it returns -EBUSY and the container system
devivce cannot be put offline. Consequently, to put the container
system device offline, it is necessary to put all of the physical
devices depending on its ACPI companion object offline beforehand.

Container system devices created for ACPI container objects are
initially online. They are created by the container ACPI scan
handler whose hotplug.demand_offline flag is set. That causes
acpi_scan_hot_remove() to check if the companion container system
device is offline before attempting to remove an ACPI container or
any devices below it. If the check fails, a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent is
emitted for the container system device in question and user space
is expected to offline all devices below the container and the
container itself in response to it. Then, user space can finalize
the removal of the container with the help of its ACPI device
object's eject attribute in sysfs.

driver-core: implement 'sysdev' functionality for regular devices and buses

All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.

There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
available.

Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
of theses devices.

For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
created in /sys/devices.)

Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
and no longer called a driver.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev

Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.

Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.

If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.

If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.

It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.

[PATCH] drivers/base - fix sparse warnings

There are a number of sparse warnings from the latest sparse
snapshot being generated from the drivers/base build. The
main culprits are due to the initialisation functions not
being declared in a header file.

Also, the firmware.c file should include <linux/device.h>
to get the prototype of firmware_register() and
firmware_unregister().

This patch moves the init function declerations from the
init.c file to the base.h, and ensures it is included in
all the relevant c sources. It also adds <linux/device.h>
to the included headers for firmware.c.

The patch does not solve all the sparse errors generated,
but reduces the count significantly.

# 1da177e4 16-Apr-2005 Linus Torvalds <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!
