Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile). For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").
To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.

Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics. The
point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute
(UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies
it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what
fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take. There
are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into
account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g. rtnl_mutex,
net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock.
Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to
execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously
with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag.
Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent
to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used
to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and
automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race. However, there was a
deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the
slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported
to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent.
Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the
slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed
to find this out or reproduce the issue.
BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use
UMH_NO_WAIT. Previous one was made by commit f520360d93 ("kobject:
don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed
arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in
05f54c13cd ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").
It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.

kernfs has just been separated out from sysfs and we're already in
full conflict mode. Nothing can make the situation any worse. Let's
take the chance to name things properly.
This patch performs the following renames.
* s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/
* s/sysfs_elem_symlink/kernfs_elem_symlink/
* s/sysfs_elem_attr/kernfs_elem_file/
* s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/
* s/sd/kn/ in kernfs proper
* s/parent_sd/parent/
* s/target_sd/target/
* s/dir_sd/parent/
* s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above
Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them. All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial. While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.
This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated
to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing*
which needs the use of a callback. The whole sequence of operations
is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling
back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the
namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates
what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers.
This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling
to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the
long term.
This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir()
and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively.
ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the
above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which
directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the
same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's
namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will
be used from another file in the following patches.
This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.

Implement debugging for kobject release functions. kobjects are
reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not
predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be
the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release
function being immediately called.
This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a
reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed.
This results in the release method being delayed.
In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following
patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the
release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of
the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was
being held.
This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug
their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.

This is a completely different CONFIG_HOTPLUG problem, only
demonstrating another reason why CONFIG_HOTPLUG should go away. I had a
hard time trying to disable it anyway ;-)
The problem this time is lots of code assuming that a call to
add_uevent_var() will guarantee that env->buflen > 0. This is not true
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is unset. So things like this end up overwriting
env->envp_idx because the array index is -1:
if (add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS="))
return -ENOMEM;
len = input_print_modalias(&env->buf[env->buflen - 1],
sizeof(env->buf) - env->buflen,
dev, 0);
Don't know what the best action is, given that there seem to be a *lot*
of this around the kernel. This patch "fixes" the problem for me, but I
don't know if it can be considered an appropriate fix.
[ It is the correct fix for now, for 3.7 forcing CONFIG_HOTPLUG to
always be on is the longterm fix, but it's too late for 3.6 and older
kernels to resolve this that way - gregkh ]

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.
