<id>23c35f48f5fbe33f68904138b23fee64df7d2f0f</id>
<content type='text'>
When pulling the recent pinctrl merge, I was surprised by how a
pinctrl-only pull request ended up rebuilding basically the whole
kernel.

The reason for that ended up being that &lt;linux/device.h&gt; included
&lt;linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h&gt;, so any change to that file ended up causing
pretty much every driver out there to be rebuilt.

The reason for that was because 'struct device' has this in it:

    #ifdef CONFIG_PINCTRL
        struct dev_pin_info     *pins;
    #endif

but we already avoid header includes for these kinds of things in that
header file, preferring to just use a forward-declaration of the
structure instead.  Exactly to avoid this kind of header dependency.

Since some drivers seem to expect that &lt;linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h&gt; header
to come in automatically, move the include to &lt;linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h&gt;
instead.  It might be better to just make the includes more targeted,
but I'm not going to review every driver.

It would definitely be good to have a tool for finding and minimizing
header dependencies automatically - or at least help with them.  Right
now we almost certainly end up having way too many of these things, and
it's hard to test every single configuration.

FWIW, you can get a sense of the "hotness" of a header file with something
like this after doing a full build:

    find . -name '.*.o.cmd' -print0 |
        xargs -0 tail --lines=+2 |
        grep -v 'wildcard ' |
        tr ' \\' '\n' |
        sort | uniq -c | sort -n | less -S

which isn't exact (there are other things in those '*.o.cmd' than just
the dependencies, and the "--lines=+2" only removes the header), but
might a useful approximation.

With this patch, &lt;linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h&gt; drops to "only" having 833
users in the current x86-64 allmodconfig.  In contrast, &lt;linux/device.h&gt;
has 14857 build files including it directly or indirectly.

Of course, the headers that absolutely _everybody_ includes (things like
&lt;linux/types.h&gt; etc) get a score of 23000+.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:

  The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with
  reworks to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the
  long run, but no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs
  attribute fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem
  maintainers, as well as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.

  And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.

This adds the coredump driver operation. When the driver defines it
a coredump file is added in the sysfs folder of the device upon
driver binding. The file is removed when the driver is unbound.
User-space can trigger a coredump for this device by echo'ing to
the coredump file.

<title>gpio: sysfs: change 'value' attribute to prealloc</title>

<id>7fda9100bb8258bbdff90f3db5079d28eb9b0013</id>
<content type='text'>
The GPIO 'value' attribute is time critical. A small bench with
'perf record' on the app below shows that 80% of the time spent in
sysfs_kf_seq_show() is spent in memset() for zeroising the buffer.

|--67.48%--sysfs_kf_seq_show
|          |
|          |--54.40%--memset
|          |
|          |--11.49%--dev_attr_show
|          |          |
|          |          |--10.06%--value_show
|          |          |          |
|          |          |          |--4.75%--sprintf
|          |          |          |          |

This patch changes the attribute type to prealloc, eliminating the
need to zeroise the buffer at each read. 'perf record' gives the
following result.

|--42.41%--sysfs_kf_read
|          |
|          |--39.73%--dev_attr_show
|          |          |
|          |          |--38.23%--value_show
|          |          |          |
|          |          |          |--29.22%--sprintf
|          |          |          |          |

Test done with the following small app:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);

	for (;;) {
		int buf[512];

		read(fd, buf, 512);
		lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
	}
	exit(0);

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

The motivation for this change is to provide a way to work around
a problem with the direct-complete mechanism used for avoiding
system suspend/resume handling for devices in runtime suspend.

The problem is that some middle layer code (the PCI bus type and
the ACPI PM domain in particular) returns positive values from its
system suspend -&gt;prepare callbacks regardless of whether the driver's
-&gt;prepare returns a positive value or 0, which effectively prevents
drivers from being able to control the direct-complete feature.
Some drivers need that control, however, and the PCI bus type has
grown its own flag to deal with this issue, but since it is not
limited to PCI, it is better to address it by adding driver flags at
the core level.

To that end, add a driver_flags field to struct dev_pm_info for flags
that can be set by device drivers at the probe time to inform the PM
core and/or bus types, PM domains and so on on the capabilities and/or
preferences of device drivers.  Also add two static inline helpers
for setting that field and testing it against a given set of flags
and make the driver core clear it automatically on driver remove
and probe failures.

Define and document two PM driver flags related to the direct-
complete feature: NEVER_SKIP and SMART_PREPARE that can be used,
respectively, to indicate to the PM core that the direct-complete
mechanism should never be used for the device and to inform the
middle layer code (bus types, PM domains etc) that it can only
request the PM core to use the direct-complete mechanism for
the device (by returning a positive value from its -&gt;prepare
callback) if it also has been requested by the driver.

While at it, make the core check pm_runtime_suspended() when
setting power.direct_complete so that it doesn't need to be
checked by -&gt;prepare callbacks.

<title>drivers: flag buses which demand DMA configuration</title>

We do not want the common dma_configure() pathway to apply
indiscriminately to all devices, since there are plenty of buses which
do not have DMA capability, and if their child devices were used for
DMA API calls it would only be indicative of a driver bug. However,
there are a number of buses for which DMA is implicitly expected even
when not described by firmware - those we whitelist with an automatic
opt-in to dma_configure(), assuming that the DMA address space and the
physical address space are equivalent if not otherwise specified.

Commit 723288836628 ("of: restrict DMA configuration") introduced a
short-term fix by comparing explicit bus types, but this approach is far
from pretty, doesn't scale well, and fails to cope at all with bus
drivers which may be built as modules, like host1x. Let's refine things
by making that opt-in a property of the bus type, which neatly addresses
those problems and lets the decision of whether firmware description of
DMA capability should be optional or mandatory stay internal to the bus
drivers themselves.
