PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operations

2011-05-11T19:37:15Z

Since suspend, resume and shutdown operations in struct sysdev_class and struct sysdev_driver are not used any more, remove them. Also drop sysdev_suspend(), sysdev_resume() and sysdev_shutdown() used for executing those operations and modify all of their users accordingly. This reduces kernel code size quite a bit and reduces its complexity. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Introduce ARCH_NO_SYSDEV_OPS config option (v2)

2011-03-23T21:16:41Z

Introduce Kconfig option allowing architectures where sysdev operations used during system suspend, resume and shutdown have been completely replaced with struct sycore_ops operations to avoid building sysdev code that will never be used. Make callbacks in struct sys_device and struct sysdev_driver depend on ARCH_NO_SYSDEV_OPS to allows us to verify if all of the references have been actually removed from the code the given architecture depends on. Make x86 select ARCH_NO_SYSDEV_OPS. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05Z

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

FW_LOADER: fix kconfig dependency warning on HOTPLUG

2010-10-22T17:16:43Z

Fix kconfig dependency warning for FW_LOADER. Lots of drivers select FW_LOADER without bothering to depend on HOTPLUG and/or without selecting HOTPLUG. A kernel builds fine when FW_LOADER is enabled, whether HOTPLUG is enabled or not, and a kernel config file (make oldconfig) is not changed by this patch. (Yes, drivers/base/firmware_class.c uses interfaces from linux/kobject.h, which does have some CONFIG_HOTPLUG dependencies, but this patch does not change that.) warning: (MICROCODE || MICROCODE_INTEL && MICROCODE || MICROCODE_AMD && MICROCODE || PCMCIA_LOAD_CIS && PCCARD && PCMCIA && EXPERIMENTAL || USB_IRDA && NET && IRDA && USB || BT_HCIBCM203X && NET && BT && USB || BT_HCIBFUSB && NET && BT && USB || BT_HCIBT3C && NET && BT && PCMCIA || BT_MRVL_SDIO && NET ... !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && USB && (X86 || ARM) && WLAN || DRM_NOUVEAU && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && DRM && PCI || TI_ST && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && RFKILL || DELL_RBU && X86) selects FW_LOADER which has unmet direct dependencies (HOTPLUG) (5200 byte line reduced a lot) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

devtmpfs: support !CONFIG_TMPFS

Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev

2009-09-15T16:50:49Z

Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a device node in devtmpfs. Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time, and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs. Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it. The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still needs to be applied by userspace. If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node when the device goes away. If the device node was created by userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it will no longer be removed by devtmpfs. If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel. With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices. It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust, by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide a working /dev.
