powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas
On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.
We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.
The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode. Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.
Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held. Therefore sysfs can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.
The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.
There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.
This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

platform-drivers: move probe to .devinit.text in drivers/scsi
A pointer to a probe callback 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.

HOWTO: Updates on subsystem trees, patchwork, -next (vs. -mm)
One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next. This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.
Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees. Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS
database.

sysfs: Cache the last sysfs_dirent to improve readdir scalability v2
When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next
sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data.
There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and
in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where
we left off with no seeking.
Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around
filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the
hold time on the sysfs_mutex.
v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition.
seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have
a unique f_pos value.

Driver-Core: devtmpfs - reset inode permissions before unlinking
Before unlinking the inode, reset the current permissions of possible
references like hardlinks, so granted permissions can not be retained
across the device lifetime by creating hardlinks, in the unusual case
that there is a user-writable directory on the same filesystem.

driver-core: Add attribute argument to class_attribute show/store
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.
Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.
This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.

sysfs: Add attribute array to sysdev classes
Add a attribute array that is automatically registered and unregistered
to struct sysdev_class. This is similar to what struct class has.
A lot of drivers add list of attributes, so it's better to do
this easily in the common sysdev layer.
This adds a new field to struct sysdev_class. I audited the
whole tree and there are no dynamically allocated sysdev classes,
so this is fully compatible.
Adding/Removing a whole array of attributes is very common. Add a standard
utility function to do this with a simple function call, instead of
requiring drivers to open code this.

Driver core: add platform_create_bundle() helper
Many legacy-style module create singleton platform devices themselves,
along with corresponding platform driver. Instead of replicating error
handling code in all such drivers, provide a helper that allocates and
registers a single platform device and a driver and binds them together.
The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.
Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().
