Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language.
This allows more natural specification when using the control language
to match against printk formats, e.g
#echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' >
/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
instead of
#echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' >
/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a
new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to
reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the
control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a
"sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next
crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way
powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting
a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer
(substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails).
The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in
that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch
over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed.
But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:-
It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying
page_mkwrite().
Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops
_before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops.
If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap
on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy:
provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
call_usermode_helper(). Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
during the system boot.
This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
do not wait for keventd to process the work.
This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.
[Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
excuted at all -- gregkh]

The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without
deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface.
Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store
callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same
device over and over, e.g.
$ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done
If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API
and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its
callback handler will be called multiple times, and will
eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject,
leading to many problems.
Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to
implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in
the infrastructure.
Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled
callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject,
return -EAGAIN.
This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs
attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this
callback hokey pokey.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.
A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m1.142s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.540s
If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m0.152s
user 0m0.030s

This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:
1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
platform_device;
2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.
Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
platform_device->platform_data.
All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.

Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are
still mapped. When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and
arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS.
Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged
and unplugged. Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel
could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data
structures.

sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename
As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a
duplicate file being created in sysfs.
We now will display warnings such as:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo'
when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs
root, or:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo'
when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a
given directory in sysfs.
The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The
leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount
point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.

"Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with
the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong,
since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver'
to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides
some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early).
The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data
outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the
device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to
reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann)

UIO driver for the Adrienne Electronics Corporation PCI time code
device.
This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O ports instead of
memory mapped I/O. In order to make it possible for UIO to work with this
device a utility, uioport, can be used to read and write the ports.
uioport is designed to be a setuid program and checks the permissions of
the /dev/uio* node and if the user has write permissions it will use
iopl and out*/in* to access the device.

If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace
to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can
handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings.
Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene!
To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each
mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name
string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be
returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers.
The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is
added there, too.

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the
peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough.
However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across
a family of processors, even products from different companies. This
makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or
simply not straight-forward.
Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear
that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle
slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data').
Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
is defined.
To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id
entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and
does not hold device lock to check the match between a device
and a driver.
The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd4958609,
which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd4958609 has
the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in
the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other
paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match
twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long
device id table (eg. usb-storage driver).
This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match
in all paths, and testes the match only once.
