xen: sysfs: make kobj_type structure constant

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.")
the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.

Take advantage of this to constify the structure definition to prevent
modification at runtime.

drivers/xen/hypervisor: Expose Xen SIF flags to userspace

/proc/xen is a legacy pseudo filesystem which predates Xen support
getting merged into Linux. It has largely been replaced with more
normal locations for data (/sys/hypervisor/ for info, /dev/xen/ for
user devices). We want to compile xenfs support out of the dom0 kernel.

There is one item which only exists in /proc/xen, namely
/proc/xen/capabilities with "control_d" being the signal of "you're in
the control domain". This ultimately comes from the SIF flags provided
at VM start.

This patch exposes all SIF flags in /sys/hypervisor/start_flags/ as
boolean files, one for each bit, returning '1' if set, '0' otherwise.
Two known flags, 'privileged' and 'initdomain', are explicitly named,
and all remaining flags can be accessed via generically named files,
as suggested by Andrew Cooper.

xen: add sysfs node for guest type

Currently there is no reliable user interface inside a Xen guest to
determine its type (e.g. HVM, PV or PVH). Instead of letting user mode
try to determine this by various rather hacky mechanisms (parsing of
boot messages before they are gone, trying to make use of known subtle
differences in behavior of some instructions), add a sysfs node
/sys/hypervisor/guest_type to explicitly deliver this information as
it is known to the kernel.

drivers/xen: make sys-hypervisor.c explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

config XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR
bool "Create xen entries under /sys/hypervisor"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. However
one could argue that fs_initcall() might make more sense here.

This change means that the one line function xen_properties_destroy()
has only one user left, and since that is inside an #ifdef, we just
manually inline it there vs. adding more ifdeffery around the function
to avoid compile warnings about "defined but not used".

In order to be consistent we also manually inline the other _destroy
functions that are also just one line sysfs functions calls with only
one call site remaing, even though they wouldn't need #ifdeffery.

# 5a0e3ad6 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit 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.

Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime

* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime

* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed

* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing
