All buses have been converted from driver_set_override() to the generic
driver_override infrastructure introduced in commit cb3d1049f4
("driver core: generalize driver_override in struct device").
Buses now either opt into the generic sysfs callbacks via the
bus_type::driver_override flag, or use device_set_driver_override() /
__device_set_driver_override() directly.
Thus, remove the now-unused driver_set_override() helper.

There are several for_each APIs which has parameter with type below:
int (*fn)(struct device *dev, void *data)
They iterate over various device lists and call @fn() for each device
with caller provided data @*data, and they usually need to modify @*data.
Give the type an dedicated typedef with advantages shown below:
typedef int (*device_iter_t)(struct device *dev, void *data)
- Shorter API declarations and definitions
- Prevent further for_each APIs from using bad parameter type
So introduce device_iter_t and apply it to various existing APIs below:
bus_for_each_dev()
(class|driver)_for_each_device()
device_for_each_child(_reverse|_reverse_from)().

For bus_find_device(), driver_find_device(), and device_find_child(), all

{
struct klist_iter i;
struct device *dev;
...
while ((dev = next_device(&i)))

The expression 'get_device(dev)' in the if condition always returns true
since @dev != NULL.

There are several drivers/base APIs for finding a specific device, and
they currently use the following good type for the @match parameter:
int (*match)(struct device *dev, const void *data)
Since these operations do not modify the caller-provided @*data, this
type is worthy of a dedicated typedef:
typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data)
Advantages of using device_match_t:
- Shorter API declarations and definitions
- Prevent further APIs from using a bad type for @match
So introduce device_match_t and apply it to the existing
(bus|class|driver|auxiliary)_find_device() APIs.

Python likes to send an empty string for some sysfs files, including the
driver_override field. When commit 23d99baf9d ("PCI: Use
driver_set_override() instead of open-coding") moved the PCI core to use
the driver core function instead of hand-rolling their own handler, this
showed up as a regression from some userspace tools, like DPDK.
Fix this up by actually looking at the length of the string first
instead of trusting that userspace got it correct.

The deferred probe timer that's used for this currently starts at
late_initcall and runs for driver_deferred_probe_timeout seconds. The
assumption being that all available drivers would be loaded and
registered before the timer expires. This means, the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout has to be pretty large for it to cover the
worst case. But if we set the default value for it to cover the worst
case, it would significantly slow down the average case. For this
reason, the default value is set to 0.
Also, with CONFIG_MODULES=y and the current default values of
driver_deferred_probe_timeout=0 and fw_devlink=on, devices with missing
drivers will cause their consumer devices to always defer their probes.
This is because device links created by fw_devlink defer the probe even
before the consumer driver's probe() is called.
Instead of a fixed timeout, if we extend an unexpired deferred probe
timer on every successful driver registration, with the expectation more
modules would be loaded in the near future, then the default value of
driver_deferred_probe_timeout only needs to be as long as the worst case
time difference between two consecutive module loads.
So let's implement that and set the default value to 10 seconds when
CONFIG_MODULES=y.

The driver_find_device() accepts a match function pointer to
filter the devices for lookup, similar to bus/class_find_device().
However, there is a minor difference in the prototype for the
match parameter for driver_find_device() with the now unified
version accepted by {bus/class}_find_device(), where it doesn't
accept a "const" qualifier for the data argument. This prevents
us from reusing the generic match functions for driver_find_device().
For this reason, change the prototype of the driver_find_device() to
make the "match" parameter in line with {bus/class}_find_device()
and adjust its callers to use the const qualifier. Also, we could
now promote the "data" parameter to const as we pass it down
as a const parameter to the match functions.

driver_find_device() can be called with an unregistered driver. Need
to check driver_private to see if it's populated or not, especially
under deferrable probe.
In the case that there are 2 drivers, one depends on the other. With
-EPROBE_DEFER, two drivers can use deferred probe to ensure that their
relative probe order doesn't matter. If dependee driver is probed
first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee')
succeeds. If the dependant is probed first, then the dependant's
driver_find_device('dependee') should return NULL, and the dependant
should get -EPROBE_DEFER. driver_find_device() needs to return NULL if
it's not populated.

Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. It is going to be a
bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
maintain and that nobody really used anymore.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Legacy iSeries is gone. Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
hopefully.
- The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"... it's a rewrite of a
mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
new implementation hopefully being much more reliable. Thanks
Mahesh Salgaonkar.
- The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.
The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
there. Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
not very nice and which Grant objects to. I will have a patch soon
that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
getting rid of the need for that pointer completely). Thanks Gavin
Shan.
- I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
"edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.
- Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."
I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

driver_find() to remove the now unnecessary calls to put_driver().
In addition, the patch adds a warning to driver_find(): Callers must
make sure the driver they are searching for does not get unloaded
while they are using it. This has always been the case; driver_find()
has never prevented a driver from being unregistered or unloaded.
Hence the patch will not introduce any new bugs. The existing callers
all seem to be okay in this respect, however I don't understand the

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 -> 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.

int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
const char *fmt, ...)
{
va_list args;
char *name;
int ret;
va_start(args, fmt);
name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...
va_end(args);
if (!name)
return -ENOMEM;
return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}
Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
