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 -&gt; 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.

The driver match strategy was:
  - Match vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
  - If that was a miss, match vendor from the root directory and
    model/specifier/version of the unit directory.

This was inconsistent with how the modalias string was constructed
until recently (take vendor/model from root directory and specifier/
version from unit directory).  It was also inconsistent with how it is
done since the parent commit:
  - Use vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory if possible,
  - fall back to one or more of vendor/model/specifier/version from the
    root directory depending on which ones are not present at the unit
    directory.

Fix this inconsistency by sharing the ROM scanner function between
modalias printer function and driver match function.

<title>firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modalias</title>

<content type='text'>
The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node
did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories.  This was
because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the
configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry.

We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory.  IOW
honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the
root directory's model ID (if present).

Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID.  This had the same
issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID
only in the root directory.

And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the
modalias, Specifier_ID and Version.  It does not actually make sense to
look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are
mandatory there.  However, a uniform search order simplifies the
implementation and has no adverse affect in practice.

Side notes:
  - The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for
    Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory,
    and for Model_ID only in the unit directory.
  - There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and
    Model_ID --- the firedtv driver.  This one worked because FireDTVs
    provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in
    root directory and unit directory.
  - Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me
    (including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID
    of the modalias.

<title>Driver core: create lock/unlock functions for struct device</title>

In the future, we are going to be changing the lock type for struct
device (once we get the lockdep infrastructure properly worked out)  To
make that changeover easier, and to possibly burry the lock in a
different part of struct device, let's create some functions to lock and
unlock a device so that no out-of-core code needs to be changed in the
future.

This patch creates the device_lock/unlock/trylock() functions, and
converts all in-tree users to them.

showed random data in the gaps between config ROM blocks.  Fix this by
zero-initialization of the config ROM reader's scratch buffer.

The stack size of 16 was artificially chosen and may be too small in
extreme cases.  A device won't be accessible then.

Since it doesn't really matter to the slab allocator whether we ask for
1088 bytes or 2048 bytes of scratch memory, just allocate 2048 bytes for
the sum of temporary config ROM image and stack, and we will never ever
overflow the stack (because there simply can't be more stack items than
ROM entries).

It never happened yet, but better safe than sorry:  If a device's config
ROM contains a block which overlaps the boundary at 0xfffff00007ff, just
ignore that one block instead of refusing to add the device
representation.  That way, upper layers (kernelspace or userspace
drivers) might still be able to use the device to some degree.

That's better than total inaccessibility of the device.  Worse, the core
would have logged only a generic "giving up on config rom" message which
could only be debugged by feeding a firewire-ohci debug logging session
through a config ROM interpreter, IOW would likely remain undiagnosed.

<title>firewire: core: fix "giving up on config rom" with Panasonic AG-DV2500</title>

<id>d54423c62c2f687919d4e5bdd4bb064234ff2d44</id>
<content type='text'>
The Panasonic AG-DV2500 tape deck contains an invalid entry in its
configuration ROM root directory:  A leaf pointer with the undefined key
ID 0 and an offset that points way out of the standard config ROM area.
This caused firewire-core to dismiss the device with the generic log
message "giving up on config rom for node id...", after which it was of
course impossible to access the tape deck with dvgrab or any other
program.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449252#c29

The fix is to simply ignore this invalid ROM entry and proceed to read
the valid rest of the ROM.  There is a catch though:  When the kernel
later iterates over the ROM, it would be nasty having to check again for
such too large ROM offsets.  Therefore we manipulate the defective or
unsupported ROM entry to become a harmless immediate entry that won't
have any side effects later (an entry with the value 0x00000000).
