parisc: pdc_stable: Fix locking when creating sysfs links

2017-07-31T14:43:13+00:00

There's no need to take the write lock when creating sysfs links.

This patch fixes the following BUG:
 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:416

parisc: pdc_stable: constify attribute_group structures.

2017-07-23T19:02:17+00:00

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by  work
with const attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

parisc: pdc_stable.c: Cleaning up unnecessary use of memset in conjunction with strncpy

2014-09-21T19:07:48+00:00

Using memset before strncpy just to ensure a trailing null character is
an unnecessary double writing of a string

Patch modified by Helge Deller to additionally reduce stack usage.

Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type

2010-03-08T01:04:49+00:00

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function

2009-12-15T16:53:32+00:00

Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
    drivers/leds/led-class.c
    drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c
    drivers/video/output.c

( // ignore skip_spaces cases
while (*str &&  isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) }
