Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.
Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.
Since commit 7a623c039 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().
The BUG this patch resolves for me:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):
L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
"row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).
L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.
L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
for the kfree(csr) in L427.
L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.
The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1
merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order:
free csrows[i]->channels[j]
free csrows[i]->channels
free csrows[i]
free csrows

Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by
queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work().
Most conversions are straight-forward. Ones worth mentioning are,
* drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always
use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in
edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped.
* drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether
watchdog is active or not. @fan_watchdog_active and related code
dropped.
* drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of
delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here.
[delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like
this. I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler(). Please
conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended
target state rather than trying to game work item pending state
transitions. e.g. if timer should be modified - call
mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().
* drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
delay used by delayed_work.
v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it
from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are
dropped.

In order to avoid loosing error events, it is desirable to group
error events together and generate a single trace for several identical
errors.
The trace API already allows reporting multiple errors. Change the
handle_error function to also allow that.
The changes at the drivers were made by this small script:

Remove the arch-dependent parameter, as it were not used,
as the MCE tracepoint weren't implemented. It probably doesn't
make sense to have an MCE-specific tracepoint, as this will
cost more bytes at the tracepoint, and tracepoint is not free.
The changes at the EDAC drivers were done by this small perl script:

Kernel kobjects have rigid rules: each container object should be
dynamically allocated, and can't be allocated into a single kmalloc.
EDAC never obeyed this rule: it has a single malloc function that
allocates all needed data into a single kzalloc.
As this is not accepted anymore, change the allocation schema of the
EDAC *_info structs to enforce this Kernel standard.

The EDAC subsystem uses the old struct sysdev approach,
creating all nodes using the raw sysfs API. This is bad,
as the API is deprecated.
As we'll be changing the EDAC API, let's first port the existing
code to struct device.
There's one drawback on this patch: driver-specific sysfs
nodes, used by mpc85xx_edac, amd64_edac and i7core_edac
won't be created anymore. While it would be possible to
also port the device-specific code, that would mix kobj with
struct device, with is not recommended. Also, it is easier and nicer
to move the code to the drivers, instead, as the core can get rid
of some complex logic that just emulates what the device_add()
and device_create_file() already does.
The next patches will convert the driver-specific code to use
the device-specific calls. Then, the remaining bits of the old
sysfs API will be removed.
NOTE: a per-MC bus is required, otherwise devices with more than
one memory controller will hit a bug like the one below:

This happens because the bus is not being properly initialized.
Instead of putting the memory sub-devices inside the memory controller,
it is putting everything under the same directory:

On a multi-memory controller system, the names "csrow%d" and "dimm%d"
should be under "mc%d", and not at the main hierarchy level.
So, we need to create a per-MC bus, in order to have its own namespace.

The logic was checking the sizeof the structure being allocated to
determine whether an alignment fixup was required. This isn't right;
what we actually care about is the alignment of the actual pointer that's
about to be returned. This became an issue recently because struct
edac_mc_layer has a size that is not zero modulo eight, so we were
taking the correctly-aligned pointer and forcing it to be misaligned.
On Tile this caused an alignment exception.

As EDAC doesn't use struct device itself, it created a parent dev
pointer called as "pdev". Now that we'll be converting it to use
struct device, instead of struct devsys, this needs to be fixed.

We have several subsystems & methods for reporting hardware errors:
1) EDAC ("Error Detection and Correction"). In its original form
this consisted of a platform specific driver that read topology
information and error counts from chipset registers and reported
the results via a sysfs interface.
2) mcelog - x86 specific decoding of machine check bank registers
reporting in binary form via /dev/mcelog. Recent additions make use
of the APEI extensions that were documented in version 4.0a of the
ACPI specification to acquire more information about errors without
having to rely reading chipset registers directly. A user level
programs decodes into somewhat human readable format.
3) drivers/edac/mce_amd.c - this driver hooks into the mcelog path and
decodes errors reported via machine check bank registers in AMD
processors to the console log using printk();
Each of these mechanisms has a band of followers ... and none
of them appear to meet all the needs of all users.
As part of a RAS subsystem, let's encapsulate the memory error hardware
events into a trace facility.
The tracepoint printk will be displayed like:
mc_event: [quant] (Corrected|Uncorrected|Fatal) error:[error msg] on [label] ([location] [edac_mc detail] [driver_detail]
Where:
[quant] is the quantity of errors
[error msg] is the driver-specific error message
(e. g. "memory read", "bus error", ...);
[location] is the location in terms of memory controller and
branch/channel/slot, channel/slot or csrow/channel;
[label] is the memory stick label;
[edac_mc detail] describes the address location of the error
and the syndrome;
[driver detail] is driver-specifig error message details,
when needed/provided (e. g. "area:DMA", ...)
For example:
mc_event: 1 Corrected error:memory read on memory stick DIMM_1A (mc:0 location:0:0:0 page:0x586b6e offset:0xa66 grain:32 syndrome:0x0 area:DMA)
Of course, any userspace tools meant to handle errors should not parse
the above data. They should, instead, use the binary fields provided by
the tracepoint, mapping them directly into their Management Information
Base.
NOTE: The original patch was providing an additional mechanism for
MCA-based trace events that also contained MCA error register data.
However, as no agreement was reached so far for the MCA-based trace
events, for now, let's add events only for memory errors.
A latter patch is planned to change the tracepoint, for those types
of event.

While userspace doesn't fill the dimm labels, add there the dimm location,
as described by the used memory model. This could eventually match what
is described at the dmidecode, making easier for people to identify the
memory.
For example, on an Intel motherboard where the DMI table is reliable,
the first memory stick is described as:
Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x0029
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
Total Width: 64 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 2048 MB
Form Factor: DIMM
Set: 1
Locator: A1_DIMM0
Bank Locator: A1_Node0_Channel0_Dimm0
Type: <OUT OF SPEC>
Type Detail: Synchronous
Speed: 800 MHz
Manufacturer: A1_Manufacturer0
Serial Number: A1_SerNum0
Asset Tag: A1_AssetTagNum0
Part Number: A1_PartNum0
The memory named as "A1_DIMM0" is physically located at the first
memory controller (node 0), at channel 0, dimm slot 0.
After this patch, the memory label will be filled with:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/csrow0/ch0_dimm_label:mc#0channel#0slot#0
And (after the new EDAC API patches) as:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0/dimm_label:mc#0channel#0slot#0
So, even if the memory label is not initialized on userspace, an useful
information with the error location is filled there, expecially since
several systems/motherboards are provided with enough info to map from
channel/slot (or branch/channel/slot) into the DIMM label. So, letting the
EDAC core fill it by default is a good thing.
It should noticed that, as the label filling happens at the
edac_mc_alloc(), drivers can override it to better describe the memories
(and some actually do it).

Change the EDAC internal representation to work with non-csrow
based memory controllers.
There are lots of those memory controllers nowadays, and more
are coming. So, the EDAC internal representation needs to be
changed, in order to work with those memory controllers, while
preserving backward compatibility with the old ones.
The edac core was written with the idea that memory controllers
are able to directly access csrows.
This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.
Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks.
So, change the allocation and error report routines to allow
them to work with all types of architectures.
This will allow the removal of several hacks with FB-DIMM and RAMBUS
memory controllers.
Also, several tests were done on different platforms using different
x86 drivers.
TODO: a multi-rank DIMMs are currently represented by multiple DIMM
entries in struct dimm_info. That means that changing a label for one
rank won't change the same label for the other ranks at the same DIMM.
This bug is present since the beginning of the EDAC, so it is not a big
deal. However, on several drivers, it is possible to fix this issue, but
it should be a per-driver fix, as the csrow => DIMM arrangement may not
be equal for all. So, don't try to fix it here yet.
I tried to make this patch as short as possible, preceding it with
several other patches that simplified the logic here. Yet, as the
internal API changes, all drivers need changes. The changes are
generally bigger in the drivers for FB-DIMMs.

The edac_align_ptr() function is used to prepare data for a single
memory allocation kzalloc() call. It counts how many bytes are needed
by some data structure.
Using it as-is is not that trivial, as the quantity of memory elements
reserved is not there, but, instead, it is on a next call.
In order to avoid mistakes when using it, move the number of allocated
elements into it, making easier to use it.

A TODO fix here is to properly represent dual-rank/quad-rank DIMMs when
the memory controller represents the memory via chip select rows.

On systems based on chip select rows, all channels need to use memories
with the same properties, otherwise the memories on channels A and B
won't be recognized.
However, such assumption is not true for all types of memory
controllers.
Controllers for FB-DIMM's don't have such requirements.
Also, modern Intel controllers seem to be capable of handling such
differences.
So, we need to get rid of storing the DIMM information into a per-csrow
data, storing it, instead at the right place.
The first step is to move grain, mtype, dtype and edac_mode to the
per-dimm struct.

The way a DIMM is currently represented implies that they're
linked into a per-csrow struct. However, some drivers don't see
csrows, as they're ridden behind some chip like the AMB's
on FBDIMM's, for example.
This forced drivers to fake^Wvirtualize a csrow struct, and to create
a mess under csrow/channel original's concept.
Move the DIMM labels into a per-DIMM struct, and add there
the real location of the socket, in terms of csrow/channel.
Latter patches will modify the location to properly represent the
memory architecture.
All other drivers will use a per-csrow type of location.
Some of those drivers will require a latter conversion, as
they also fake the csrows internally.
TODO: While this patch doesn't change the existing behavior, on
csrows-based memory controllers, a csrow/channel pair points to a memory
rank. There's a known bug at the EDAC core that allows having different
labels for the same DIMM, if it has more than one rank. A latter patch
is need to merge the several ranks for a DIMM into the same dimm_info
struct, in order to avoid having different labels for the same DIMM.
The edac_mc_alloc() will now contain a per-dimm initialization loop that
will be changed by latter patches in order to match other types of
memory architectures.

What it is pointed by a csrow/channel vector is a rank information, and
not a channel information.
On a traditional architecture, the memory controller directly access the
memory ranks, via chip select rows. Different ranks at the same DIMM is
selected via different chip select rows. So, typically, one
csrow/channel pair means one different DIMM.
On FB-DIMMs, there's a microcontroller chip at the DIMM, called Advanced
Memory Buffer (AMB) that serves as the interface between the memory
controller and the memory chips.
The AMB selection is via the DIMM slot, and not via a csrow.
It is up to the AMB to talk with the csrows of the DRAM chips.
So, the FB-DIMM memory controllers see the DIMM slot, and not the DIMM
rank. RAMBUS is similar.
Newer memory controllers, like the ones found on Intel Sandy Bridge and
Nehalem, even working with normal DDR3 DIMM's, don't use the usual
channel A/channel B interleaving schema to provide 128 bits data access.
Instead, they have more channels (3 or 4 channels), and they can use
several interleaving schemas. Such memory controllers see the DIMMs
directly on their registers, instead of the ranks, which is better for
the driver, as its main usageis to point to a broken DIMM stick (the
Field Repleceable Unit), and not to point to a broken DRAM chip.
The drivers that support such such newer memory architecture models
currently need to fake information and to abuse on EDAC structures, as
the subsystem was conceived with the idea that the csrow would always be
visible by the CPU.
To make things a little worse, those drivers don't currently fake
csrows/channels on a consistent way, as the concepts there don't apply
to the memory controllers they're talking with. So, each driver author
interpreted the concepts using a different logic.
In order to fix it, let's rename the data structure that points into a
DIMM rank to "rank_info", in order to be clearer about what's stored
there.
Latter patches will provide a better way to represent the memory
hierarchy for the other types of memory controller.

OP_OFFLINE _before_ we cancel the work item, leading to NULL ptr oops on

as shown by enabling debug:

Also, kfree(mci) shouldn't happen at the kobj.release, as it happens
when edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() is called, but the logic is:
edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(mci);
edac_printk(KERN_INFO, EDAC_MC,
"Removed device %d for %s %s: DEV %s\n", mci->mc_idx,
mci->mod_name, mci->ctl_name, edac_dev_name(mci));
So, as the edac_printk() needs the mci struct, this generates an OOPS.

As internal kobjs are allocated they bump a ref count on the top level kobj.
It in turn has a module ref count on the edac_core module. When internal

top level kobj reaches zero, it decrements the ref count on the edac_core
