Merge tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2025-01-28T20:25:12Z

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1. Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window. There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment. Here's a short list of the things in here: - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions. We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now, depending on what you want to do. - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use them - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things in complex ways. - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall. - other small fixes and updates All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved "soon"" * tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (95 commits) rust: device: Use as_char_ptr() to avoid explicit cast rust: device: Replace CString with CStr in property_present() devcoredump: Constify 'struct bin_attribute' devcoredump: Define 'struct bin_attribute' through macro rust: device: Add property_present() saner replacement for debugfs_rename() orangefs-debugfs: don't mess with ->d_name octeontx2: don't mess with ->d_parent or ->d_parent->d_name arm_scmi: don't mess with ->d_parent->d_name slub: don't mess with ->d_name sof-client-ipc-flood-test: don't mess with ->d_name qat: don't mess with ->d_name xhci: don't mess with ->d_iname mtu3: don't mess wiht ->d_iname greybus/camera - stop messing with ->d_iname mediatek: stop messing with ->d_iname netdevsim: don't embed file_operations into your structs b43legacy: make use of debugfs_get_aux() b43: stop embedding struct file_operations into their objects carl9170: stop embedding file_operations into their objects ...

module: sysfs: Use const 'struct bin_attribute'

2025-01-26T12:05:24Z

The sysfs core is switching to 'const struct bin_attribute's. Prepare for that. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Reviewed-by: Petr Pavlu Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241227-sysfs-const-bin_attr-module-v2-6-e267275f0f37@weissschuh.net Signed-off-by: Petr Pavlu

module: sysfs: Add notes attributes through attribute_group

2025-01-26T12:05:24Z

A kobject is meant to manage the lifecycle of some resource. However the module sysfs code only creates a kobject to get a "notes" subdirectory in sysfs. This can be achieved easier and cheaper by using a sysfs group. Switch the notes attribute code to such a group, similar to how the section allocation in the same file already works.

module: sysfs: Simplify section attribute allocation

2025-01-26T12:05:24Z

The existing allocation logic manually stuffs two allocations into one. This is hard to understand and of limited value, given that all the section names are allocated on their own anyways. Une one allocation per datastructure.

module: sysfs: Drop member 'module_sect_attr::address'

2025-01-26T12:05:24Z

'struct bin_attribute' already contains the member 'private' to pass custom data to the attribute handlers. Use that instead of the custom 'address' member.

module: sysfs: Drop member 'module_sect_attrs::nsections'

2025-01-26T12:05:24Z

The member is only used to iterate over all attributes in free_sect_attrs(). However the attribute group can already be used for that. Use the group and drop 'nsections'.

module: Constify 'struct module_attribute'

2025-01-26T12:05:23Z

These structs are never modified, move them to read-only memory. This makes the API clearer and also prepares for the constification of 'struct attribute' itself. While at it, also constify 'modinfo_attrs_count'.
