[PATCH] drivers/base - fix sparse warnings There are a number of sparse warnings from the latest sparse snapshot being generated from the drivers/base build. The main culprits are due to the initialisation functions not being declared in a header file. Also, the firmware.c file should include <linux/device.h> to get the prototype of firmware_register() and firmware_unregister(). This patch moves the init function declerations from the init.c file to the base.h, and ensures it is included in all the relevant c sources. It also adds <linux/device.h> to the included headers for firmware.c. The patch does not solve all the sparse errors generated, but reduces the count significantly. drivers/base/core.c:161:1: warning: symbol 'devices_subsys' was not declared.

driver core/platform: remove unused implicit padding in platform_object Up to 7 bytes are wasted at the end of struct platform_object in the form of padding after name field: unfortunately this padding is not used when allocating the memory to hold the name. This patch converts name array from name[1] to C99 flexible array name[] (equivalent to name[0]) so that no padding is required by the presence of this field. Memory allocation is updated to take care of allocating an additional byte for the NUL terminating character. Built on Fedora 20, using GCC 4.8, for ARM, i386, SPARC64 and x86_64 architectures, the data structure layout can be reported with following command: $ pahole drivers/base/platform.o \ --recursive \ --class_name device,pdev_archdata,platform_device,platform_object Please find below some comparisons of structure layout for arm, i386, sparc64 and x86_64 architecture before and after the patch. --- obj-arm/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-79-gfe45736f4134 2014-05-30 10:32:06.290960701 +0200 +++ obj-arm/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-80-g2cdb06858d71 2014-05-30 11:26:20.851988347 +0200 @@ -81,10 +81,9 @@ /* XXX last struct has 4 bytes of padding */ /* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ - char name[1]; /* 392 1 */ + char name[0]; /* 392 0 */ - /* size: 400, cachelines: 7, members: 2 */ - /* padding: 7 */ + /* size: 392, cachelines: 7, members: 2 */ /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 4 */ - /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ + /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; --- obj-i386/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-79-gfe45736f4134 2014-05-30 10:32:06.305960691 +0200 +++ obj-i386/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-80-g2cdb06858d71 2014-05-30 11:26:20.875988332 +0200 @@ -73,9 +73,8 @@ struct platform_object { struct platform_device pdev; /* 0 396 */ /* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) was 12 bytes ago --- */ - char name[1]; /* 396 1 */ + char name[0]; /* 396 0 */ - /* size: 400, cachelines: 7, members: 2 */ - /* padding: 3 */ - /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ + /* size: 396, cachelines: 7, members: 2 */ + /* last cacheline: 12 bytes */ }; --- obj-sparc64/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-79-gfe45736f4134 2014-05-30 10:32:06.406960625 +0200 +++ obj-sparc64/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-80-g2cdb06858d71 2014-05-30 11:26:20.971988269 +0200 @@ -94,9 +94,8 @@ struct platform_object { struct platform_device pdev; /* 0 2208 */ /* --- cacheline 34 boundary (2176 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */ - char name[1]; /* 2208 1 */ + char name[0]; /* 2208 0 */ - /* size: 2216, cachelines: 35, members: 2 */ - /* padding: 7 */ - /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ + /* size: 2208, cachelines: 35, members: 2 */ + /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */ }; --- obj-x86_64/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-79-gfe45736f4134 2014-05-30 10:32:06.432960608 +0200 +++ obj-x86_64/drivers/base/platform.o.pahole.v3.15-rc7-80-g2cdb06858d71 2014-05-30 11:26:21.000988250 +0200 @@ -84,9 +84,8 @@ struct platform_object { struct platform_device pdev; /* 0 720 */ /* --- cacheline 11 boundary (704 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ - char name[1]; /* 720 1 */ + char name[0]; /* 720 0 */ - /* size: 728, cachelines: 12, members: 2 */ - /* padding: 7 */ - /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ + /* size: 720, cachelines: 12, members: 2 */ + /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ }; Changes from v5 [1]: - dropped dma_mask allocation changes and only kept padding removal changes (name array length set to 0).

platform: reorder platform_device_del In platform_device_del(), we currently delete the device resources first, then we delete the device itself. This causes a (minor) bug to occur when one unregisters a platform device before unregistering its platform driver, and the driver is requesting (in .probe()) and releasing (in .remove()) a resource of the device. The device resources are already gone by the time the driver gets the chance to release the resources it had been requesting, causing an error like: Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000000000295-0000000000000296> If the platform driver is unregistered first, the problem doesn't occur, as the driver will have the opportunity to release the resources it had requested before the device resources themselves are released. It's a bit odd that unregistering the driver first or the device first doesn't lead to the same result. So I believe that we should delete the device first in platform_device_del(). I've searched the git history and found that it used to be the case before 2.6.8, but was changed here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=96ef7b3689936ee1e64b711511342026a8ce459c > 2004/07/14 16:09:44-07:00 dtor_core > [PATCH] Driver core: Fix OOPS in device_platform_unregister > > Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first > and only then call device_unregister, otherwise if there > are no more references to the device it will be freed and > the fucntion will try to access freed memory. However we now have an explicit call to put_device() at the end of platform_device_unregister() so I guess the original problem no longer exists and it is safe to revert that change.

ACPI / driver core: Store an ACPI device pointer in struct acpi_dev_node Modify struct acpi_dev_node to contain a pointer to struct acpi_device associated with the given device object (that is, its ACPI companion device) instead of an ACPI handle corresponding to it. Introduce two new macros for manipulating that pointer in a CONFIG_ACPI-safe way, ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_COMPANION_SET(), and rework the ACPI_HANDLE() macro to take the above changes into account. Drop the ACPI_HANDLE_SET() macro entirely and rework its users to use ACPI_COMPANION_SET() instead. For some of them who used to pass the result of acpi_get_child() directly to ACPI_HANDLE_SET() introduce a helper routine acpi_preset_companion() doing an equivalent thing. The main motivation for doing this is that there are things represented by struct acpi_device objects that don't have valid ACPI handles (so called fixed ACPI hardware features, such as power and sleep buttons) and we would like to create platform device objects for them and "glue" them to their ACPI companions in the usual way (which currently is impossible due to the lack of valid ACPI handles). However, there are more reasons why it may be useful. First, struct acpi_device pointers allow of much better type checking than void pointers which are ACPI handles, so it should be more difficult to write buggy code using modified struct acpi_dev_node and the new macros. Second, the change should help to reduce (over time) the number of places in which the result of ACPI_HANDLE() is passed to acpi_bus_get_device() in order to obtain a pointer to the struct acpi_device associated with the given "physical" device, because now that pointer is returned by ACPI_COMPANION() directly. Finally, the change should make it easier to write generic code that will build both for CONFIG_ACPI set and unset without adding explicit compiler directives to it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Driver Core: early platform driver V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

Driver Core: early platform driver V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot.
