driver core: cpu: don't hand-override the uevent bus_type callback.

2023-02-11T10:50:41Z

Instead of having to change the uevent bus_type callback by hand at runtime, set it at build time based on the build configuration options, making this much simpler to maintain and understand (and allow to make the structure constant.)

driver core: bus: add bus_get_dev_root() function

2023-02-10T09:16:42Z

Instead of poking around in the struct bus_type directly for the dev_root pointer, provide a function to return it properly reference counted, if it is present in the bus. This will be needed to move the pointer out of struct bus_type in the future. Use the function in the driver core code at the same time it is introduced to verify that it works properly.

driver core: make struct bus_type.uevent() take a const *

2023-01-27T12:45:52Z

The uevent() callback in struct bus_type should not be modifying the device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this callback.

Add the sysfs reporting file for Processor MMIO Stale Data vulnerability. It exposes the vulnerability and mitigation state similar to the existing files for the other hardware vulnerabilities. Signed-off-by: Pawan Gupta Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov

sched/isolation: Use single feature type while referring to housekeeping cpumask

2022-02-16T14:57:55Z

Refer to housekeeping APIs using single feature types instead of flags. This prevents from passing multiple isolation features at once to housekeeping interfaces, which soon won't be possible anymore as each isolation features will have their own cpumask.

drivers/base: Constify static attribute_group structs

2021-06-04T13:06:28Z

These are only used by putting their address in an array of pointers to const struct attribute_group (either directly or via the __ATTRIBUTE_GROUP macro). Make them const to allow the compiler to place them in read-only memory.

drivers/base/cpu: remove redundant assignment of variable retval

2021-03-23T13:56:50Z

The variable retval is being initialized with a value that is never read and it is being updated later with a new value. Clean this up by initializing retval to -ENOMEM and remove the assignment to retval on the !dev failure path. Kudos to Rafael for the improved fix suggestion. Reviewed-by: Rafael J.
