On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.
This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.
So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

these all removed from the files in Documentation/driver-model/ since
they are out of date. That will keep things up to date and provide a better way

Before commit
b402843 (Driver core: move dev_get/set_drvdata to drivers/base/dd.c)
calling dev_set_drvdata with dev=NULL was an unchecked error. After some
discussion about what to return in this case removing the check (and so
producing a null pointer exception) seems fine.

When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for
the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be
invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered.
This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the
state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear
the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered.
This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack
and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which
bluetooth would have unregistered from the system.
OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without
sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt
data coming in after the driver is unregistered.

This fixes these build errors on powerpc:

include/linux/signal.h:239: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/signal.h:240: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
..
Exposed by commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular
list iterators"), which removed the include of <linux/prefetch.h> from
<linux/list.h>.
Without that, linux/signal.h no longer accidentally got the declaration
of 'struct task_struct'.
Fix by properly declaring the struct, rather than introducing any new
header file dependency.

Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure.
These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore
when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the
high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time.
The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue.
Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head
structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head
structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not
allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets
up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than
4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu().
If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu()
or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the
first 4096 bytes.
Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example,
to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu().
The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows:
call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback);
where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows:
void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p)
{
struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu);
kfree(q);
}
with the following:
kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu);
Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being
freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer
to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type
checking.

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.
Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.
Some background can be found here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/
The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.
See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36
While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).
The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).
One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.
There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.
Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.
The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.
See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36
This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.

In cases where a timerqueue_node or some structure that utilizes
a timerqueue_node is allocated on the stack, gcc would give warnings
caused by the timerqueue_init()'s calling RB_CLEAR_NODE, which
self-references the nodes uninitialized data.
The solution is to create an rb_init_node() function that zeros
the rb_node structure out and then calls RB_CLEAR_NODE(), and
then call the new init function from timerqueue_init().

Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as
their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled.
This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume
to measure the time in suspend.
The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.
This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.
The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.
This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.

Provide a generic p->on_rq because the p->se.on_rq semantics are
unfavourable for lockless wakeups but needed for sched_fair.
In particular, p->on_rq is only cleared when we actually dequeue the
task in schedule() and not on any random dequeue as done by things
like __migrate_task() and __sched_setscheduler().
This also allows us to remove p->se usage from !sched_fair code.

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

Since we now allocate SD_LV_MAX * nr_cpu_ids sched_domain/sched_group
structures when rebuilding the scheduler toplogy it might make sense
to shrink that depending on the CONFIG_ options.
This is only needed until we get rid of SD_LV_* alltogether and
provide a full dynamic topology interface.

Instead of relying on static allocations for the sched_domain and
sched_group trees, dynamically allocate and RCU free them.
Allocating this dynamically also allows for some build_sched_groups()
simplification since we can now (like with other simplifications) rely
on the sched_domain tree instead of hard-coded knowledge.
One tricky to note is that detach_destroy_domains() needs to hold
rcu_read_lock() over the entire tear-down, per-cpu is not sufficient
since that can lead to partial sched_group existance (could possibly
be solved by doing the tear-down backwards but this is much more
robust).
A concequence of the above is that we can no longer print the
sched_domain debug stuff from cpu_attach_domain() since that might now
run with preemption disabled (due to classic RCU etc.) and
sched_domain_debug() does some GFP_KERNEL allocations.
Another thing to note is that we now fully rely on normal RCU and not
RCU-sched, this is because with the new and exiting RCU flavours we
grew over the years BH doesn't necessarily hold off RCU-sched grace
periods (-rt is known to break this). This would in fact already cause
us grief since we do sched_domain/sched_group iterations from softirq
context.
This patch is somewhat larger than I would like it to be, but I didn't
find any means of shrinking/splitting this.
