Wolfram Sang 85368bb9de rtc: simplify getting .drvdata
We should get drvdata from struct device directly. Going via
platform_device is an unneeded step back and forth.

Alexandre Belloni bd7f4e7598 rtc: stk17ta8: let the core handle invalid time
Returning a valid time when the time is invalid is a bad practice, because
then userspace is not able to react on the information. Also, it doesn't
make sense to return epoch because it is already the default time.

Alexandre Belloni fa5691131a rtc: remove useless DRV_VERSION
Many drivers are defining a DRV_VERSION. This is often only used for
MODULE_VERSION and sometimes to print an info message at probe time. This
is kind of pointless as they are all versionned with the kernel anyway.
Also the core will print a message when a new rtc is found.

The patch "rtc: verify a critical argument to rtc_update_irq() before

are no need to check this argument for rtc_update_irq() from the

Convert the composition of devm_request_mem_region and devm_ioremap to a
single call to devm_ioremap_resource.  The associated call to
platform_get_resource is also simplified and moved next to the new call

This was done using a combination of the semantic patches
devm_ioremap_resource.cocci and devm_request_and_ioremap.cocci, found in
the scripts/coccinelle/api directory.

In rtc-lpc32xx.c and rtc-mv.c, the local variable size is no longer needed.

In rtc-ds1511.c the size field of the local structure is not useful any
more, and is deleted.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 5a167f4543 Drivers: rtc: remove __dev* attributes.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Yong Zhang 2f6e5f9458 drivers/rtc: remove IRQF_DISABLED
Since commit e58aa3d2d0 ("genirq: run irq handlers with interrupts
disabled") we run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled and we
even check and yell when an interrupt handler returns with interrupts
enabled - see commit b738a50a20 ("genirq: warn when handler enables
interrupts").

So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Atsushi Nemoto 3151520d88 rtc-stk17ta8: fix races around device registration
- Call dev_set_drvdata before rtc device creation.

- Use its own spinlock instead of rtc->irq_lock.  Because pdata->rtc
  must be initialized to use the irq_lock (pdata->rtc->irq_lock).  There
  is a small window which rtc methods can be called before pdata->rtc is
  initialized.

  And there is no need use the irq_lock to protect hardware registers.
  The driver's own spinlock shoule be enough.

- Check pdata->rtc before calling rtc_update_irq.

- Use alarm_irq_enable and remove ioctl routine.

- Use devres APIs and simplify error/remove path.

These fixes are ported from ds1553 driver and just compile-tested only.

Uwe Kleine-König 81e627e00a move stk17ta8's probe function to .devinit.text
A pointer to stk17ta8_rtc_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

This patch fixes a bunch of irq checking misuses.  Most drivers were
getting irq via platform_get_irq(), which returns -ENXIO or r->start.

rtc-cmos.c is special.  It is using PNP and platform bindings.  Hopefully
nobody is using PNP IRQ 0 for RTC.  So the changes should be safe.

rtc-sh.c is using platform_get_irq, but was storing a result into an
unsigned type, then was checking for < 0.  This is fixed now.

Parag Warudkar 01e8ef11bc x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

David Brownell 743e6a504f rtc: file close() consistently disables repeating irqs
Make the rtc framework consistent about disabling 1/second update IRQs
that may have been activated through the /dev interface, when that /dev
file is closed.  (It may have closed because of coredump, etc.) This was
previously done only for emulated update IRQs ...  now, do it always.

Also comment the current policy: repeating IRQs (periodic, update) that
userspace enabled will be cleanly disabled, but alarms are left alone.
Such repeating IRQs are a constant and pointless system load.

Update some RTC drivers to remove now-needless release() methods.  Most
such methods just enforce that policy.  The others all seem to be buggy,
and mistreat in-kernel clients of periodic or alarm IRQs.

David Brownell a4b1d50e61 RTCs: handle NVRAM better
Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs.  Such
NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system
manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses,
etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth.

This patch improves integrity and security of those files:

  - Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where
    that was not yet being done.

  - Improves system security/integrity by making this state not
    be world-writable by default.

Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not
A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular
data that might be corrupted.  (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone
read it either" approach.  Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't
really care about security.)

Al Viro c98dbe59ae fix missing arguments in drivers/rtc/rtc-stk17ta8.c
struct bin_attribute * is needed in bin_attribute ->read()/->write()
now.  Incidentally, could people please run the fscking compiler
before and after applying their patch and compare the build logs?
That (and many, many other) would be caught immediately.

Thomas Hommel 029641151b rtc: add support for STK17TA8 chip
This patch adds support for the Simtek STK17TA8 timekeeping chip.

The STK17TA8 is quite similar to the DS1553, but differs in register layout
and in various control bits in the registers.  I chose to make this a new
driver to avoid confusion in the code and to not get lost in #ifdefs.
