2019-01-22powerpc: Adopt nvram module for PPC64Finn Thain
Adopt nvram module to reduce code duplication. This means CONFIG_NVRAM becomes available to PPC64 builds. Previously it was only available to PPC32 builds because it depended on CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM. The IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl as implemented on PPC64 validates the offset returned by pmac_get_partition(). Do the same in the nvram module. Note that the old PPC32 generic_nvram module lacked this test. So when CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned 0 (always). But when CONFIG_PPC64 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned -1 (which is -EPERM) when the requested partition was not found. With this patch, the result is now -EINVAL on both PPC32 and PPC64 when the requested PowerMac NVRAM partition is not found. This is a userspace- visible change, in the non-existent partition case, which would be in an error path for an IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl syscall.

2019-01-22char/nvram: Implement NVRAM read/write methodsFinn Thain
Refactor the RTC "CMOS" NVRAM functions so that they can be used as arch_nvram_ops methods. Checksumming logic is moved from the misc device operations to the nvram read/write operations. This makes the misc device implementation more generic. This preserves the locking mechanism such that "read if checksum valid" and "write and update checksum" remain atomic operations. Some platforms implement byte-range read/write methods which are similar to file_operations struct methods. Other platforms provide only byte-at-a-time methods. The former are more efficient but may be unavailable so fall back on the latter methods when necessary.

2019-01-22char/nvram: Allow the set_checksum and initialize ioctls to be omittedFinn Thain
The drivers/char/nvram.c module has previously supported only RTC "CMOS" NVRAM, for which it provides appropriate checksum ioctls. Make these ioctls optional so the module can be re-used with other kinds of NVRAM. The ops struct methods that implement the ioctls now return error codes so that a multi-platform kernel binary can do the right thing when running on hardware without a suitable NVRAM.

2019-01-22char/nvram: Adopt arch_nvram_opsFinn Thain
NVRAMs on different platforms and architectures have different attributes and access methods. E.g. some platforms have byte-at-a-time accessor functions while others have byte-range accessor functions. Some have checksum functionality while others do not. By calling ops struct methods via the common wrapper functions, the nvram module and other drivers can make use of the available NVRAM functionality in a portable way.

2019-01-22nvram: Replace nvram_* function exports with static functionsFinn Thain
Replace nvram_* functions with static functions in nvram.h. These will become wrappers for struct nvram_ops method calls. This patch effectively disables existing NVRAM functionality so as to allow the rest of the series to be bisected without build failures. That functionality is gradually re-implemented in subsequent patches. Replace the sole validate-checksum-and-read-byte sequence with a call to nvram_read() which will gain the same semantics in subsequent patches. Remove unused exports.

2010-10-05drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutexArnd Bergmann
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. These drivers do not seem to be under active maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies to those maintainers that I have missed. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-11nvram: Fix write beyond end condition; prove to gcc copy is safeH. Peter Anvin
In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case. Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically prove that the copy_from_user() is safe. Once the condition of the beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig. Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use the passed-in variable "count" instead. Signed-off-by: H.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).
