<title>drivers: delete __cpuinit usage from all remaining drivers files</title>

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the remaining one-off uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files in the drivers/* directory.

<title>cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem</title>

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

Create attributes:

 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_id
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_siblings

which show the book id and the book siblings of a cpu.

Unlike the attributes for SMT and MC these attributes are only present if
CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK is set. There is no reason to pollute sysfs for every
architecture with unused attributes.

By the previous modification, the cpu notifier can return encapsulate
errno value.  This converts the cpu notifiers for topology.

Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.

This actually uses topology_core_cpumask() and
topology_thread_cpumask(), removing the only users of
topology_core_siblings() and topology_thread_siblings()

<title>topology: Fix sparc64 build.</title>

<id>b13d3720ecd29d5044334fdbbae3432f26802bae</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to changeset ba84be2338d3a2b6020d39279335bb06fcd332e1 ("remove
linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h") the sparc64 build started
failing on drivers/base/topology.c:

  drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_physical_package_id’:
  drivers/base/topology.c:103: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_data’
  drivers/base/topology.c:103: error: request for member ‘proc_id’ in something not a structure or union
  drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_core_id’:
  drivers/base/topology.c:106: error: request for member ‘core_id’ in something not a structure or union

Adding the obvious fix of including asm/cpudata.h into asm/topology.h on
sparc64 doesn't fix it, in fact it makes things worse because of the
header file dependency chain:

	linux/gfp.h --&gt; linux/mmzone.h --&gt; linux/topology.h --&gt;
	asm/topology.h --&gt; asm/cpudata.h --&gt; linux/percpu.h --&gt;
	linux/slab.h

which results in:

  include/linux/slub_def.h: In function ‘kmalloc_large’:
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: implicit declaration of function ‘__get_free_pages’
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: ‘__GFP_COMP’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: for each function it appears in.)
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

The simplest thing to do is to add yet another one-off hack like parts
of the guilty changeset did, by putting an explicit linux/hardirq.h
include into drivers/base/topology.c

Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs

Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

<title>sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function</title>

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

  * Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
    used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
    before there are per_cpu areas allocated.

    ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
    areas have been setup".]

    This patchset adds these new macros:

	DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
	EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
	DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)

	early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
	early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
	early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)

    The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
    map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
    elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
    the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
    pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
    but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
    that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.

    The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
    access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
    "early" and "late".  It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
    then it's still valid.  Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
    instead:

	#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) 			\
		(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ?			\
			early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] :	\
			per_cpu(_name, _cpu))

    A better method is to actually check the pointer manually.  In the
    case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":

	void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
	{
	    int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);

	    if (cpu_to_node_map)
		    cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
	    else
		    per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
	}

  * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
    to topology cpumask_t maps are available.  Otherwise, use the function
    returning the cpumask_t value.  This is useful if cpumask_t set size
    is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.

  * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
    the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.

  * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c

  * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c

For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.
