2010-03-07sysdev: Add sysdev_create/remove_filesAndi Kleen
Allow to create/remove arrays of sysdev attributes Just wrappers around sysfs_create/move_files Will be used later to clean up some drivers. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-03-07sysfs: Add attribute array to sysdev classesAndi Kleen
Add a attribute array that is automatically registered and unregistered to struct sysdev_class. This is similar to what struct class has. A lot of drivers add list of attributes, so it's better to do this easily in the common sysdev layer. This adds a new field to struct sysdev_class. I audited the whole tree and there are no dynamically allocated sysdev classes, so this is fully compatible.

2010-03-07sysdev: Pass attribute in sysdev_class attributes show/storeAndi Kleen
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring an own function for every piece of data. Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields and use that in the low level function. Similar to sysdev_attributes and normal attributes. This is a tree-wide sweep, converting everything in one go. No functional changes in this patch other than passing the new argument everywhere. Tested on x86, the non x86 parts are uncompiled.

2008-07-21sysdev: Add utility functions for simple int/ulong variable sysdev attributesAndi Kleen
This adds a new sysdev_ext_attribute that stores a pointer to the variable it manages and some utility functions/macro to easily use them. Previously all users wrote custom macros to generate show/store functions for each variable, with this it is possible to avoid that in many cases.

2008-07-21sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store functionAndi Kleen
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections. Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64 Compiled only: ia64, powerpc Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32 Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-04-19cpumask: add show cpu map functionsMike Travis
* Add cpu_sysdev_class functions to display the following maps with cpulist_scnprintf(). cpu_online_map cpu_present_map cpu_possible_map * Small change to include/linux/sysdev.h to allow the attribute name and label to be different (to avoid collision with the "attr_online" entry for bringing cpus on- and off-line.)

2008-01-24Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject namesKay Sievers
All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
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. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

2004-02-18[PATCH] sys_device_[un]register() are not syscallsRandy Dunlap
sys_xyz() names in Linux are all syscalls... except for sys_device_register() and sys_device_unregister(). This patch renames them so that the sys_ namespace is once again used only by syscalls.
2003-08-19[power] Update device handling.Patrick Mochel
- From conversations with Ben Herrenschmidt. Most devices should be able to handle powering down with interrupts enabled, which I already assume. But since suspending will stop I/O transactions before the call to power it off (making the device unusable anyway), there is no need to separate the calls - we may as well make it simpler for driver authors and require that driver authors do everything at the same time. There will always be devices that need to either power down or power up the device with interrupts disabled. They will get called with interrupts enabled, but may return -EAGAIN to be called again with interrupts disabled to do what they need to do. System devices are now always called only with interrupts disabled. Come on - they're system devices. Of course we need interrupts disabled.
2003-06-15[driver model] Remove struct sys_device::entryPatrick Mochel
It was added by accident from another patch and is redundant with struct sys_device::kobj.entry.
2003-06-11[driver model] Make sure system device drivers are added if registered late.Patrick Mochel
From Jeremy Fitzhardinge: With the current system device changes (I picked them up in 2.5.70-mm8), the system device class assumes that all system device drivers are registered before any system devices are registered. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. CPU devices are registered very early, but cpufreq registers drivers for them; since cpufreq drivers can be loaded as modules, they clearly can't be registered before the device is. This patch keeps a list of all registered devices hanging off the system device class. When a new driver is registered, it calls the driver's add() function with all existing devices. Conversely, when a driver is unregistered, it calls the driver's remove() function for all existing devices so the driver can clean up. Note: the list in the class's embedded kset is used, rather than creating a new field.
2003-06-09[driver model] Add save() and restore() methods for system device drivers. Patrick Mochel
It turns out that at least some system device drivers need to allocate memory and/or sleep for one reason or another when either saving or restoring state. Instead of adding a 'level' paramter to the suspend() and resume() methods, which I despise and think is a horrible programming interface, two new methods have been added to struct sysdev_driver: int (*save)(struct sys_device *, u32 state); int (*restore)(struct sys_device *); that are called explicitly before and after suspend() and resume() respectively, with interrupts enabled. This gives the drivers the flexibility to allocate memory and sleep, if necessary.
2003-06-09[driver model] Create include/linux/sysdev.h and define sysdev_attribute.Patrick Mochel
Split out all system device definitions from device.h into their own header sysdev.h Define struct sysdev_attribute and define functions to export attributes in sysfs.
