sysfs:Addresses documentation in sysfs_merge_group and sysfs_unmerge_group.

These functions take a struct attribute_group as an input which has an
optional .name field. These functions rely on the .name field being
populated and do not check if its null. They pass this name into other
functions, eventually leading to a null pointer dereference.

This change simply updates the documentation of the function to make
this requirement clear.

sysfs: Fix crash on empty group attributes array

It turns out that arch/x86/events/intel/core.c makes use of "empty"
attributes.

static struct attribute *empty_attrs;

__init int intel_pmu_init(void)
{
struct attribute **extra_skl_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **extra_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **td_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **mem_attr = &empty_attrs;
struct attribute **tsx_attr = &empty_attrs;
...

That breaks the assumption __first_visible() that expects that if
grp->attrs is set then grp->attrs[0] must also be set and results in
backtraces like:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00rnel mode

sysfs: Introduce a mechanism to hide static attribute_groups

Add a mechanism for named attribute_groups to hide their directory at
sysfs_update_group() time, or otherwise skip emitting the group
directory when the group is first registered. It piggybacks on
is_visible() in a similar manner as SYSFS_PREALLOC, i.e. special flags
in the upper bits of the returned mode. To use it, specify a symbol
prefix to DEFINE_SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE(), and then pass that same prefix
to SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE() when assigning the @is_visible() callback:

DEFINE_SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE($prefix)

struct attribute_group $prefix_group = {
.name = $name,
.is_visible = SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE($prefix),
};

SYSFS_GROUP_VISIBLE() expects a definition of $prefix_group_visible()
and $prefix_attr_visible(), where $prefix_group_visible() just returns
true / false and $prefix_attr_visible() behaves as normal.

The motivation for this capability is to centralize PCI device
authentication in the PCI core with a named sysfs group while keeping
that group hidden for devices and platforms that do not meet the
requirements. In a PCI topology, most devices will not support
authentication, a small subset will support just PCI CMA (Component
Measurement and Authentication), a smaller subset will support PCI CMA +
PCIe IDE (Link Integrity and Encryption), and only next generation
server hosts will start to include a platform TSM (TEE Security
Manager).

Without this capability the alternatives are:

* Check if all attributes are invisible and if so, hide the directory.
Beyond trouble getting this to work [1], this is an ABI change for
scenarios if userspace happens to depend on group visibility absent any
attributes. I.e. this new capability avoids regression since it does
not retroactively apply to existing cases.

* Publish an empty /sys/bus/pci/devices/$pdev/tsm/ directory for all PCI
devices (i.e. for the case when TSM platform support is present, but
device support is absent). Unfortunate that this will be a vestigial
empty directory in the vast majority of cases.

* Reintroduce usage of runtime calls to sysfs_{create,remove}_group()
in the PCI core. Bjorn has already indicated that he does not want to
see any growth of pci_sysfs_init() [2].

* Drop the named group and simulate a directory by prefixing all
TSM-related attributes with "tsm_". Unfortunate to not use the naming
capability of a sysfs group as intended.

In comparison, there is a small potential for regression if for some
reason an @is_visible() callback had dependencies on how many times it
was called. Additionally, it is no longer an error to update a group
that does not have its directory already present, and it is no longer a
WARN() to remove a group that was never visible.

sysfs: Skip empty folders creation

Most sysfs attributes are statically defined, the goal with this design
being to be able to move all the filesystem description into read-only
memory. Anyway, it may be relevant in some cases to populate attributes
at run time. This leads to situation where an attribute may or may not be
present depending on conditions which are not known at compile
time, up to the point where no attribute at all gets added in a folder
which then becomes "sometimes" empty. Problem is, providing an attribute
group with a name and without .[bin_]attrs members will be loudly
refused by the core, leading in most cases to a device registration
failure.

The simple way to support such situation right now is to dynamically
allocate an empty attribute array, which is:
* a (small) waste of space
* a waste of time
* disturbing, to say the least, as an empty sysfs folder will be created
anyway.

Another (even worse) possibility would be to dynamically overwrite a
member of the attribute_group list, hopefully the last, which is also
supposed to remain in the read-only section.

In order to avoid these hackish situations, while still giving a little
bit of flexibility, we might just check the validity of the .[bin_]attrs
list and, if empty, just skip the attribute group creation instead of
failing. This way, developers will not be tempted to workaround the
core with useless allocations or strange writes on supposedly read-only
structures.

The content of the WARN() message is kept but turned into a debug
message in order to help developers understanding why their sysfs
folders might now silently fail to be created.

sysfs: Improve readability by following the kernel coding style

The purpose of the if/else block is to select the right sysfs directory
entry to be used for the files creation. At a first look when you have
the file in front of you, it really seems like the "create_files()"
lines right after the block are badly indented and the "else" does not
guard. In practice the code is correct but lacks curly brackets to show
where the big if/else block actually ends. Add these brackets to comply
with the current kernel coding style and to ease the understanding of
the whole logic.

Commit 9255782f7061 ("sysfs: Wrap __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj

around a new non-underscored function, which is a bit odd. The normal
naming convention is the other way around: the underscored function is
the wrappee, and the non-underscored function is the wrapper.

There's only one single user (well, two call-sites in that user) of the
more limited double underscore version of this function, so just remove
the oddly named wrapper entirely and just add the extra NULL argument to
the user.

I considered just doing that in the merge, but that tends to make

sysfs, kobject: allow creating kobject belonging to arbitrary users

Normally kobjects and their sysfs representation belong to global root,
however it is not necessarily the case for objects in separate namespaces.
For example, objects in separate network namespace logically belong to the
container's root and not global root.

This change lays groundwork for allowing network namespace objects
ownership to be transferred to container's root user by defining
get_ownership() callback in ktype structure and using it in sysfs code to
retrieve desired uid/gid when creating sysfs objects for given kobject.

sysfs: Fix internal_create_group() for named group updates

There are a couple of problems with named group updates in the code
today:

* sysfs_update_group() will always fail for a named group, because
internal_create_group() will try to create a new sysfs directory
unconditionally, which will ofcourse fail with -EEXIST.

* We can leak the kernfs_node for grp->name if some one tries to:
- rename a group (change grp->name), or
- update a named group, to an unnamed group

It appears that the whole purpose of sysfs_update_group() was to
allow changing the permissions or visibility of attributes and not
the names. So make it clear in the comments, and allow it to update
an existing named group.

sysfs: Use only return value from is_visible for the file mode

Up to now, is_visible can only be used to either remove visibility

This makes it impossible, for example, to use DEVICE_ATTR_RW to define
file attributes and reduce permissions to read-only.

This behavior is undesirable and unnecessarily complicates code which
needs to reduce permissions; instead of just returning the desired
permissions, it has to ensure that the permissions in the attribute
variable declaration only reflect the minimal permissions ever needed.

Change semantics of is_visible to only use the permissions returned
from it instead of oring the returned value with the hard-coded
permissions.

around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs[_find_and]_get() and kernfs_put()

Introduce kernfs interface for finding, getting and putting
sysfs_dirents.

* sysfs_find_dirent() is renamed to kernfs_find_ns() and lockdep
assertion for sysfs_mutex is added.

* sysfs_get_dirent_ns() is renamed to kernfs_find_and_get().

* Macro inline dancing around __sysfs_get/put() are removed and
kernfs_get/put() are made proper functions implemented in
fs/sysfs/dir.c.

While the conversions are mostly equivalent, there's one difference -
kernfs_get() doesn't return the input param as its return value. This
change is intentional. While passing through the input increases
writability in some areas, it is unnecessary and has been shown to
cause confusion regarding how the last ref is handled.

sysfs, kernfs: remove SYSFS_KOBJ_BIN_ATTR

After kernfs_ops and sysfs_dirent->s_attr.size addition, the
distinction between SYSFS_KOBJ_BIN_ATTR and SYSFS_KOBJ_ATTR is only
necessary while creating files to decide which kernfs_ops to use.
Afterwards, they behave exactly the same.

This patch removes SYSFS_KOBJ_BIN_ATTR along with sysfs_is_bin().
sysfs_add_file[_mode_ns]() are updated to take bool @is_bin instead of

sysfs: handle duplicate removal attempts in sysfs_remove_group()

Commit bcdde7e221a8 (sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursive) changed
the behavior so that directory removals will be done recursively. This
means that the sysfs group might already be removed if its parent directory
has been removed.

The current code outputs warnings similar to following log snippet when it
detects that there is no group for the given kobject:

sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

sysfs: make attr namespace interface less convoluted

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.

* attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is
arbitrary.

* Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler
in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing
the whole stack backwards.

The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in
straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
unnecessary and against basic design principles.

This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that

* sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.

* sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
around the ns aware functions.

* ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at
this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.

* Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().

* driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.

This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.

What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.

I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.

For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.

To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.

Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid

- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.

Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.

For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.

Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.

The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.

Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

sysfs: Remove first pass at shadow directory support

While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme
of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears
to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs
directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.

This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher
level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from
commit b592fcfe7f06c15ec11774b5be7ce0de3aa86e73 is now gone.

sysfs: make kobj point to sysfs_dirent instead of dentry

As kobj sysfs dentries and inodes are gonna be made reclaimable,
dentry can't be used as naming token for sysfs file/directory, replace
kobj->dentry with kobj->sd. The only external interface change is
shadow directory handling. All other changes are contained in kobj
and sysfs.

security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()

Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().

Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

sysfs: Shadow directory support

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*.

What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.

I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is
for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
lookups to the real directory you want.

Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
trickier.

I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really
at that location the shadow master.

The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()

This patch prevents a race between IO and removing a file from sysfs.
It introduces a list of sysfs_buffers associated with a file at the inode.
Upon removal of a file the list is walked and the buffers marked orphaned.
IO to orphaned buffers fails with -ENODEV. The driver can safely free
associated data structures or be unloaded.

[PATCH] remove duplicate get_dentry functions in various places

Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a
duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length
argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename.

Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

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!
