sound: make all 'class' structures const

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, making all 'class' structures to be declared at build time
placing them into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in
the kernel tree at the same time.

driver core: make struct class.devnode() take a const *

The devnode() in struct class should not be modifying the device that is
passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function
signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this
callback.

Initializing the static variable to 0 causes the following error

In addition, considering the following way of writing

141: #ELSE

sound: fix a memory leak bug

In sound_insert_unit(), the controlling structure 's' is allocated through
kmalloc(). Then it is added to the sound driver list by invoking
__sound_insert_unit(). Later on, if __register_chrdev() fails, 's' is
removed from the list through __sound_remove_unit(). If 'index' is not less
than 0, -EBUSY is returned to indicate the error. However, 's' is not
deallocated on this execution path, leading to a memory leak bug.

To fix the above issue, free 's' before -EBUSY is returned.

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

sound: push BKL into open functions

This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open
to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal
with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill
off the drivers.

All core components in ALSA already provide
adequate locking in their open()-functions
and do not require the big kernel lock, so
there is no need to add the BKL there.

sound: make OSS device number claiming optional and schedule its removal

If any OSS support is enabled, regardless of built-in or module,
sound_core claims full OSS major number (that is, the old 0-255
region) to trap open attempts and request sound modules using custom
module aliases. This feature is redundant as chrdev already has such
mechanism. This preemptive claiming prevents alternative OSS
implementation.

The custom module aliases are scheduled to be removed and the previous
patch made soundcore emit the standard chrdev aliases too to help
transition.

This patch schedule the feature for removal in a year and makes it
optional so that developers and distros can try new things in the
meantime without rebuilding the kernel. The pre-claiming can be
turned off by using SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and/or kernel parameter
soundcore.preclaim_oss.

As this allows sound minors to be individually grabbed by other users,
this patch updates sound_insert_unit() such that if registering
individual device region fails, it tries the next available slot.

For details on removal plan, please read the entry added by this patch
in feature-removal-schedule.txt .

sound: request char-major-* module aliases for missing OSS devices

Till now missing OSS devices emitted sound-slot/service-* module
alises instead of the standard char-major-* if a missing device number
is opened if soundcore is loaded. The custom module aliases don't
have any inherent benefit than backward compatibility.

sound-slot/service-* module aliases is scheduled to be removed and to
help the transition this patch makes soundcore emit the standard
module alises along with the custom ones.

ALSA: fix section mismatch in the sound_core

# d886e87c 28-Aug-2008 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

sound: make OSS sound core optional

sound/sound_core.c implements soundcore.ko and contains two parts -
sound_class which is shared by both ALSA and OSS and device
redirection support for OSS. It's always compiled when any sound
support is enabled although it's necessary only when OSS (the actual
one or emulation) is enabled. This is slightly wasteful and as device
redirection always registers character device region for major 14, it
prevents alternative implementation.

This patch introduces a new config SOUND_OSS_CORE which is selected
iff OSS support is actually necessary and build the OSS core part
conditionally.

If OSS is disabled, soundcore merely contains sound_class but leaving
it that way seems to be the simplest approach as otherwise sound_class
should be in ALSA core file if OSS is disabled but should be in
soundcore if OSS is enabled. Also, there's also the user confusion
factor.

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 9

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Driver core: convert sound core to use struct device

Converts from using struct "class_device" to "struct device" making
everything show up properly in /sys/devices/ with symlinks from the
/sys/class directory.

It also makes the struct sound_card to show up as a "real" device
where all the different sound class devices are placed as childs
and different card attribute files can hang off of. /sys/class/sound is
still a flat directory, but the symlink targets of all devices belonging
to the same card, point the the /sys/devices tree below the new card
device object.

This patch builds it into an own sound_firmware module that is only built
depending on CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME making the kernel slightly smaller for ALSA
users.

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!
