linux/drivers/base/driver.c, branch v3.12.10

driver core: add #include to core files.

2013-08-27T17:24:15Z

This is needed to fix the build on sh systems. Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: add sysfs_create/remove_groups()

2013-08-21T23:02:19Z

These functions are being open-coded in 3 different places in the driver core, and other driver subsystems will want to start doing this as well, so move it to the sysfs core to keep it all in one place, where we know it is written properly. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: bus_type: add drv_groups

2013-08-12T22:33:31Z

attribute groups are much more flexible than just a list of attributes, due to their support for visibility of the attributes, and binary attributes. Add drv_groups to struct bus_type which should be used instead of drv_attrs. drv_attrs will be removed from the structure soon. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: don't trigger uevent after failure

2012-07-17T17:40:23Z

Do not send the uevent if driver_add_groups failed. Reported-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: move uevent call to driver_register

2012-07-17T01:04:25Z

Device driver attribute groups are created after userspace is notified via an add event. Fix this by moving the kobject_uevent call to driver_register after the attribute groups are added. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver Core: don't oops with unregistered driver in driver_find_device()

2012-05-14T15:46:01Z

driver_find_device() can be called with an unregistered driver. Need to check driver_private to see if it's populated or not, especially under deferrable probe. In the case that there are 2 drivers, one depends on the other. With -EPROBE_DEFER, two drivers can use deferred probe to ensure that their relative probe order doesn't matter. If dependee driver is probed first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee') succeeds. If the dependant is probed first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee') should return NULL, and the dependant should get -EPROBE_DEFER. driver_find_device() needs to return NULL if it's not populated. In [PATCHv5 2/3] ARM: tegra: Add SMMU enabler in AHB: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.tegra/4658 "tegra_ahb_driver" may not be populated when it's called.

Revert "driver core: check start node in klist_iter_init_node"

2012-04-20T02:17:30Z

This reverts commit a15d49fd3094cff90e5410ca454a870e0a722fe1 as that patch broke the build. Cc: Hannes Reinecke Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: check start node in klist_iter_init_node

2012-04-18T22:39:52Z

klist_iter_init_node() takes a node as a start argument. However, this node might not be valid anymore. This patch updates the klist_iter_init_node() and dependent functions to return an error if so. All calling functions have been audited to check for a return code here.

Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

2012-03-22T01:55:10Z

Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt: "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. It is going to be a bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to maintain and that nobody really used anymore. Here are some of the highlights: - Legacy iSeries is gone. Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks hopefully. - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"... it's a rewrite of a mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the new implementation hopefully being much more reliable. Thanks Mahesh Salgaonkar. - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare. The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is there. Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is not very nice and which Grant objects to. I will have a patch soon that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully getting rid of the need for that pointer completely). Thanks Gavin Shan. - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page fault retry & fatal signals on page faults. - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..." I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from Grant Likely, hopefully correctly. * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (141 commits) powerpc/ps3: Do not adjust the wrapper load address powerpc: Remove the rest of the legacy iSeries include files powerpc: Remove the remaining CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES pieces init: Remove CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES powerpc: Remove FW_FEATURE ISERIES from arch code tty/hvc_vio: FW_FEATURE_ISERIES is no longer selectable powerpc/spufs: Fix double unlocks powerpc/5200: convert mpc5200 to use of_platform_populate() powerpc/mpc5200: add options to mpc5200_defconfig powerpc/mpc52xx: add a4m072 board support powerpc/mpc5200: update mpc5200_defconfig to fit for charon board Documentation/powerpc/mpc52xx.txt: Checkpatch cleanup powerpc/44x: Add additional device support for APM821xx SoC and Bluestone board powerpc/44x: Add support PCI-E for APM821xx SoC and Bluestone board MAINTAINERS: Update PowerPC 4xx tree powerpc/44x: The bug fixed support for APM821xx SoC and Bluestone board powerpc: document the FSL MPIC message register binding powerpc: add support for MPIC message register API powerpc/fsl: Added aliased MSIIR register address to MSI node in dts powerpc/85xx: mpc8548cds - add 36-bit dts ...

driver-core: remove legacy iSeries hack

2012-03-08T23:35:21Z

The PowerPC legacy iSeries plateform is being removed along with the "one looney iseries driver", so this code can now be removed as well. cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
