In following scenario(diagram), when one thread X running dev_coredumpm()
adds devcd device to the framework which sends uevent notification to
userspace and another thread Y reads this uevent and call to
devcd_data_write() which eventually try to delete the queued timer that
is not initialized/queued yet.
So, debug object reports some warning and in the meantime, timer is
initialized and queued from X path. and from Y path, it gets reinitialized
again and timer->entry.pprev=NULL and try_to_grab_pending() stucks.
To fix this, introduce mutex and a boolean flag to serialize the behaviour.

Cleaning out the last -Wempty-body warnings found some interesting
cases with empty macros, along with harmless warnings like this one:
drivers/base/devcoredump.c: In function 'dev_coredumpm':
drivers/base/devcoredump.c:297:56: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
297 | /* nothing - symlink will be missing */;
| ^
drivers/base/devcoredump.c:301:56: error: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Werror=empty-body]
301 | /* nothing - symlink will be missing */;
| ^
Randy tried addressing this one before, and there were multiple
other ideas in that thread.
Add a runtime warning and code comment here.

Change additional instances that could use sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at
that the coccinelle script could not convert.
o macros creating show functions with ## concatenation
o unbound sprintf uses with buf+len for start of output to sysfs_emit_at
o returns with ?: tests and sprintf to sysfs_emit
o sysfs output with struct class * not struct device * arguments
Miscellanea:
o remove unnecessary initializations around these changes
o consistently use int len for return length of show functions
o use octal permissions and not S_<FOO>
o rename a few show function names so DEVICE_ATTR_<FOO> can be used
o use DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RO where appropriate
o consistently use const char *output for strings
o checkpatch/style neatening

Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Convert devcoredump to use class_groups instead of class_attrs as that's

Add scatterlist support (dev_coredumpsg) to allow drivers to avoid
vmalloc() like dev_coredumpm(), while also avoiding the module
reference that the latter function requires.
This internally uses dev_coredumpm() with function inside the
devcoredump module, requiring removing the const
(which touches the driver using it.)

Since device/firmware coredumps can contain private data, it can
be desirable to turn them off unconditionally to be certain that
no such data will be collected by the system.
To achieve this, provide a "disabled" sysfs class attribute that
can only be changed from 0 to 1 and not back. Upon disabling,
discard existing coredumps and stop storing new ones.

Many devices run firmware and/or complex hardware, and most of that
can have bugs. When it misbehaves, however, it is often much harder
to debug than software running on the host.
Introduce a "device coredump" mechanism to allow dumping internal
device/firmware state through a generalized mechanism. As devices
are different and information needed can vary accordingly, this
doesn't prescribe a file format - it just provides mechanism to
get data to be able to capture it in a generalized way (e.g. in
distributions.)
The dumped data will be readable in sysfs in the virtual device's
data file under /sys/class/devcoredump/devcd*/. Writing to it will
free the data and remove the device, as does a 5-minute timeout.
Note that generalized capturing of such data may result in privacy
issues, so users generally need to be involved. In order to allow
certain users/system integrators/... to disable the feature at all,
introduce a Kconfig option to override the drivers that would like
to have the feature.
For now, this provides two ways of dumping data:
1) with a vmalloc'ed area, that is then given to the subsystem
and freed after retrieval or timeout
2) with a generalized reader/free function method
We could/should add more options, e.g. a list of pages, since the
vmalloc area is very limited on some architectures.
