sysfs binary attributes
Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

If a virtual address is passed to the diag210 function under 31 bit, we get a
programming exception, since diag 210 only works with physical addresses. To
fix this, the content of the diag210 data structure is copied to a local
structure and the physical address of that structure is passed to diagnose 210.

We often have the situation that we register a subchannel and start device
recognition, only to find out that the device is not usable after all, which
triggers an unregister of the subchannel. This often happens on hundreds of
subchannels on a LPAR, leading to a storm of events which aren't of any use.
Therefore, use uevent_suppress to delay the KOBJ_ADD uevent for a subchannel
until we know that its ccw_device is to be registered.

We used to unregister ccw devices not directly from the I/O
subchannel remove function in order to avoid lifelocks on the
css bus semaphore. This semaphore is gone, and there is no reason
to not unregister the ccw device directly (it is even better since
it is more in keeping with the goal of immediate disconnect).

Use a bitmap for indicating which subchannels require evaluation
instead of allocating memory for each evaluation request. This
approach reduces memory consumption during recovery in case of
massive evaluation request occurrence and removes the need for
memory allocation failure handling.

This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need
to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's
context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to
unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

The current ccw_device_set_options() sets a specified mask of options
and clears those not specified, but there is no way to find out which
options have already been set.
In order to fix this up, introduce the following interface changes:
ccw_device_set_options() now only sets the specified bits, but does
not clear those that are not specified.
ccw_device_clear_options() clears the specified bits.
ccw_device_set_options_mask() provides the old semantics (setting only
the specified bits and clearing the others).
Device drivers now work as expected. qdio has been adapted.

Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone.
Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this
function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an
early call to sort_main_extable().
This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup
sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of
head[31|64].S into C code.

This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.
