devlink_(add|remove)_symlinks() kzalloc() memory to save symlink name
for both supplier and consumer, but do not explicitly take into account
consumer's prefix "consumer:", so cause disadvantages listed below:
1) it seems wrong for the algorithm to calculate memory size
2) readers maybe need to count characters one by one of both prefix
strings to confirm calculated memory size

uevent_show() wants to de-reference dev->driver->name. There is no clean
way for a device attribute to de-reference dev->driver unless that
attribute is defined via (struct device_driver).dev_groups. Instead, the
anti-pattern of taking the device_lock() in the attribute handler risks
deadlocks with code paths that remove device attributes while holding
the lock.
This deadlock is typically invisible to lockdep given the device_lock()
is marked lockdep_set_novalidate_class(), but some subsystems allocate a
local lockdep key for @dev->mutex to reveal reports of the form:

The observation though is that driver objects are typically much longer
lived than device objects. It is reasonable to perform lockless
de-reference of a @driver pointer even if it is racing detach from a
device. Given the infrequency of driver unregistration, use
synchronize_rcu() in module_remove_driver() to close any potential
races. It is potentially overkill to suffer synchronize_rcu() just to
handle the rare module removal racing uevent_show() event.

Synchronize the dev->driver usage in really_probe() and dev_uevent().
These can run in different threads, what can result in the following
race condition for dev->driver uninitialization:
Thread #1:
==========
really_probe() {
...
probe_failed:
...
device_unbind_cleanup(dev) {
...
dev->driver = NULL; // <= Failed probe sets dev->driver to NULL
...
}
...
}
Thread #2:
==========
dev_uevent() {
...
if (dev->driver)
// If dev->driver is NULLed from really_probe() from here on,
// after above check, the system crashes
add_uevent_var(env, "DRIVER=%s", dev->driver->name);
...
}
really_probe() holds the lock, already. So nothing needs to be done
there. dev_uevent() is called with lock held, often, too. But not
always. What implies that we can't add any locking in dev_uevent()
itself. So fix this race by adding the lock to the non-protected
path. This is the path where above race is observed:
dev_uevent+0x235/0x380
uevent_show+0x10c/0x1f0 <= Add lock here
dev_attr_show+0x3a/0xa0
sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x17c/0x250

Similar cases are reported by syzkaller in
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=ffa8143439596313a85a
But these are regarding the *initialization* of dev->driver
dev->driver = drv;
As this switches dev->driver to non-NULL these reports can be considered
to be false-positives (which should be "fixed" by this commit, as well,
though).

For drivers wishing to expose an unsigned long, int or bool at a static
memory location in sysfs, the driver core provides ready-made helpers
such as device_show_ulong() to be used as ->show() callback.
Some drivers need to expose a string and so far they all provide their
own ->show() implementation. arch/powerpc/perf/hv-24x7.c went so far
as to create a device_show_string() helper but kept it private.
Make it public for reuse by other drivers. The pattern seems to be
sufficiently frequent to merit a public helper.
Add a DEVICE_STRING_ATTR_RO() macro in line with the existing
DEVICE_ULONG_ATTR() and similar macros to ease declaration of string
attributes.

The commit 80dd33cf72 ("drivers: base: Fix device link removal")
introduces a workqueue to release the consumer and supplier devices used
in the devlink.
In the job queued, devices are release and in turn, when all the
references to these devices are dropped, the release function of the
device itself is called.
Nothing is present to provide some synchronisation with this workqueue
in order to ensure that all ongoing releasing operations are done and
so, some other operations can be started safely.
For instance, in the following sequence:
1) of_platform_depopulate()
2) of_overlay_remove()
During the step 1, devices are released and related devlinks are removed
(jobs pushed in the workqueue).
During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but, without any
synchronisation with devlink removal jobs, of_overlay_remove() can raise
warnings related to missing of_node_put():
ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2
Indeed, the missing of_node_put() call is going to be done, too late,
from the workqueue job execution.
Introduce device_link_wait_removal() to offer a way to synchronize
operations waiting for the end of devlink removals (i.e. end of
workqueue jobs).
Also, as a flushing operation is done on the workqueue, the workqueue
used is moved from a system-wide workqueue to a local one.

A fwnode link between specific supplier-consumer fwnodes can be added
multiple times for multiple reasons. If that dependency doesn't exist,
deleting the fwnode link once doesn't guarantee that it won't get created
again.
So, add FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE flag to mark a fwnode link as one that needs to
be completely ignored. Since a fwnode link's flags is an OR of all the
flags passed to all the fwnode_link_add() calls to create that specific
fwnode link, the FWLINK_FLAG_IGNORE flag is preserved and can be used to
mark a fwnode link as on that need to be completely ignored until it is
deleted.

fw_devlink can detect most overlapping/intersecting cycles. However it was
missing a few corner cases because of an incorrect optimization logic that
tries to avoid repeating cycle detection for devices that are already
marked as part of a cycle.
Here's an example provided by Xu Yang (edited for clarity):
usb
+-----+
tcpc | |
+-----+ | +--|
| |----------->|EP|
|--+ | | +--|
|EP|<-----------| |
|--+ | | B |
| | +-----+
| A | |
+-----+ |
^ +-----+ |
| | | |
+-----| C |<--+
| |
+-----+
usb-phy
Node A (tcpc) will be populated as device 1-0050.
Node B (usb) will be populated as device 38100000.usb.
Node C (usb-phy) will be populated as device 381f0040.usb-phy.
The description below uses the notation:
consumer --> supplier
child ==> parent
1. Node C is populated as device C. No cycles detected because cycle
detection is only run when a fwnode link is converted to a device link.
2. Node B is populated as device B. As we convert B --> C into a device
link we run cycle detection and find and mark the device link/fwnode
link cycle:
C--> A --> B.EP ==> B --> C
3. Node A is populated as device A. As we convert C --> A into a device
link, we see it's already part of a cycle (from step 2) and don't run
cycle detection. Thus we miss detecting the cycle:
A --> B.EP ==> B --> A.EP ==> A
Looking at it another way, A depends on B in one way:
A --> B.EP ==> B
But B depends on A in two ways and we only detect the first:
B --> C --> A
B --> A.EP ==> A
To detect both of these, we remove the incorrect optimization attempt in
step 3 and run cycle detection even if the fwnode link from which the
device link is being created has already been marked as part of a cycle.

Describing the usage of dev_err_probe() as being (only?) "deemed
acceptable" has a bad connotation. In fact dev_err_probe() fulfills
three tasks:
- handling of EPROBE_DEFER (even more than degrading to dev_dbg())
- symbolic output of the error code
- return err for compact error code paths

changes to the clk framework this time around. That's probably because everyone
was on vacation (yours truly included). We did lose a couple clk drivers this
time around because nobody was using those devices. That skews the diffstat a
bit, but either way, nothing looks out of the ordinary here. The usual suspects
are chugging along adding support for more SoCs and fixing bugs.
If I had to choose, I'd say the theme for the past few months has been
"polish". There's quite a few patches that migrate to
devm_platform_ioremap_resource() in here. And there's more than a handful of
patches that move the NR_CLKS define from the DT binding header to the driver.
There's even patches that migrate drivers to use clk_parent_data and clk_hw to
describe clk tree topology. It seems that the spring (summer?) cleaning bug got
some folks, or the semiconductor shortage finally hit the software side.

In the current code, devres_release_all() only gets called if the device
has a bus and has been probed.
This leads to issues when using bus-less or driver-less devices where
the device might never get freed if a managed resource holds a reference
to the device. This is happening in the DRM framework for example.
We should thus call devres_release_all() in the device_del() function to
make sure that the device-managed actions are properly executed when the
device is unregistered, even if it has neither a bus nor a driver.
This is effectively the same change than commit 2f8d16a996 ("devres:
release resources on device_del()") that got reverted by commit
a525a3ddea ("driver core: free devres in device_release") over
memory leaks concerns.
This patch effectively combines the two commits mentioned above to
release the resources both on device_del() and device_release() and get
the best of both worlds.

SWIOTLB implementation details should not be exposed to the rest of the
kernel. This will allow to make changes to the implementation without
modifying non-swiotlb code.
To avoid breaking existing users, provide helper functions for the few
required fields.
As a bonus, using a helper function to initialize struct device allows to
get rid of an #ifdef in driver core.

The add_dev and remove_dev callbacks in struct class_interface currently
pass in a pointer back to the class_interface structure that is calling
them, but none of the callback implementations actually use this pointer
as it is pointless (the structure is known, the driver passed it in in
the first place if it is really needed again.)
So clean this up and just remove the pointer from the callbacks and fix
up all callback functions.

When a dev_t is set in a struct device, an symlink in /sys/dev/ is
created for it either under /sys/dev/block/ or /sys/dev/char/ depending
on the device type.
The logic to determine this would trigger off of the class of the
object, and the kobj_type set in that location. But it turns out that
this deep nesting isn't needed at all, as it's either a choice of block
or "everything else" which is a char device. So make the logic a lot
more simple and obvious, and remove the incorrect comments in the code
that tried to document something that was not happening at all (it is
impossible to set class->dev_kobj to NULL as the class core prevented
that from happening.
This removes the only place that class->dev_kobj was being used, so
after this, it can be removed entirely.

There are a number of places in core.c that need access to the private
subsystem structure of struct class, so move them to use
class_to_subsys() instead of accessing it directly.
This requires exporting class_to_subsys() out of class.c, but keeping it
local to the driver core.

If the file is written to and sync_state() hasn't been called for the
device yet, then call sync_state() for the device independent of the
state of its consumers.
This is useful for supplier devices that have one or more consumers that
don't have a driver but the consumers are in a state that don't use the
resources supplied by the supplier device.
This gives finer grained control than using the
fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout kernel commandline parameter.

When all devices that could probe have finished probing (based on
deferred_probe_timeout configuration or late_initcall() when
!CONFIG_MODULES), this parameter controls what to do with devices that
haven't yet received their sync_state() calls.
fw_devlink.sync_state=strict is the default and the driver core will
continue waiting on all consumers of a device to probe successfully
before sync_state() is called for the device. This is the default
behavior since calling sync_state() on a device when all its consumers
haven't probed could make some systems unusable/unstable. When this
option is selected, we also print the list of devices that haven't had
sync_state() called on them by the time all devices the could probe have
finished probing.
fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout will cause the driver core to give up
waiting on consumers and call sync_state() on any devices that haven't
yet received their sync_state() calls. This option is provided for
systems that won't become unusable/unstable as they might be able to
save power (depends on state of hardware before kernel starts) if all
devices get their sync_state().

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was added in commit 88a22c985e
("CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED") in 2006 to allow systems with older versions
of some tools (i.e. Fedora 3's version of udev) to boot properly. Four
years later, in 2010, the option was attempted to be removed as most of
userspace should have been fixed up properly by then, but some kernel
developers clung to those old systems and refused to update, so we added
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in commit e52eec13cd ("SYSFS: Allow boot
time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout") to allow
them to continue to boot properly, and we allowed a boot time parameter
to be used to switch back to the old format if needed.
Over time, the logic that was covered under these config options was
slowly removed from individual driver subsystems successfully, removed,
and the only thing that is now left in the kernel are some changes in
the block layer's representation in sysfs where real directories are
used instead of symlinks like normal.
Because the original changes were done to userspace tools in 2006, and
all distros that use those tools are long end-of-life, and older
non-udev-based systems do not care about the block layer's sysfs
representation, it is time to finally remove this old logic and the
config entries from the kernel.
