Tejun Heo 7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

Dave Jones c120069779 [CPUFREQ] Remove hotplug cpu crap
The hotplug CPU locking in cpufreq is horrendous.  No-one seems to care
enough to fix it, so just remove it so that the 99.9% of the real world
users of this code can use cpufreq without being bothered by warnings.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 8edc59d939 [CPUFREQ] Bug fix for acpi-cpufreq and cpufreq_stats oops on frequency change notification
Fixes the oops in cpufreq_stats with acpi_cpufreq driver.  The issue was
that the frequency was reported as 0 in acpi-cpufreq.c.  The bug is due to
different indicies for freq_table and ACPI perf table.

Also adds a check in cpufreq_stats to check for error return from
freq_table_get_index() and avoid using the error return value.

Patch fixes the issue reported at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0611.2/0629.html

As there are other places that call cpufreq_update_policy without
the hotplug lock, it seems better to keep the hotplug locking
at the lower level for the time being until this is revamped.

Chandra Seetharaman 65edc68c34 [PATCH] cpu hotplug: make [un]register_cpu_notifier init time only
CPUs come online only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
So, cpu_notifier functionality need to be available only at init time.

This patch makes register_cpu_notifier() available only at init time, unless
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

This patch exports register_cpu_notifier() and unregister_cpu_notifier() only
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

Sam Ravnborg bb1a813d3c [PATCH] cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings
cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
changelog entry:

Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)

The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
#define __cpuinit
#else
#define __cpuinit       __init
#endif

$> grep HOTPLUG .config
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y

But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier

cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
__init cpufreq_stats_init()
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()

So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.

Ashok Raj c32b6b8e52 [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
 When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified.  Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.

We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.

Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.

There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable.  I guess its probably
good for the first cut.

- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
  The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
  hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
  so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
  was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
  until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.

(akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now
does lock_cpu_hotplug())

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
