Jason A. Donenfeld 81895a65ec treewide: use prandom_u32_max() when possible, part 1
Rather than incurring a division or requesting too many random bytes for
the given range, use the prandom_u32_max() function, which only takes
the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions. This was
done mechanically with this coccinelle script:

Greg Kroah-Hartman cdb4f26a63 kobject: kobj_type: remove default_attrs
Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone
and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can
be safely removed.

There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not
two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used.

Qu Wenruo 8988bacd60 kobject: unexport kobject_create() in kobject.h
The function kobject_create() is only used by one caller,
kobject_create_and_add(), no other driver uses it, nor is exported to
other modules.

However it's still exported in kobject.h, and can sometimes confuse
users of kobject.h.

Since all users should call kobject_create_and_add(), or if extra
attributes are needed, should alloc the memory manually then call
kobject_init_and_add().

Heikki Krogerus 079ad2fb4b kobject: Avoid premature parent object freeing in kobject_cleanup()
If kobject_del() is invoked by kobject_cleanup() to delete the
target kobject, it may cause its parent kobject to be freed
before invoking the target kobject's ->release() method, which
effectively means freeing the parent before dealing with the
child entirely.

That is confusing at best and it may also lead to functional
issues if the callers of kobject_cleanup() are not careful enough
about the order in which these calls are made, so avoid the
problem by making kobject_cleanup() drop the last reference to
the target kobject's parent at the end, after invoking the target
kobject's ->release() method.

[ rjw: Rewrite the subject and changelog, make kobject_cleanup()
  drop the parent reference only when __kobject_del() has been
  called. ]

Greg Kroah-Hartman 0e5596c54a kobject: send KOBJ_REMOVE uevent when the object is removed from sysfs
It is possible for a KOBJ_REMOVE uevent to be sent to userspace way
after the files are actually gone from sysfs, due to how reference
counting for kobjects work.  This should not be a problem, but it would
be good to properly send the information when things are going away, not
at some later point in time in the future.

Before this move, if a kobject's parent was torn down before the child,
when the call to kobject_uevent() happened, the parent walk to try to
reconstruct the full path of the kobject could be a total mess and cause
crashes.  It's not good to try to tear down a kobject tree from top
down, but let's at least try to not to crash if a user does so.

Also, it's important to understand that making fun of people

This change implements get_ownership() for ksets created with
kset_create_and_add() call by fetching ownership data from parent kobject.
This is done mostly for benefit of "queues" attribute of net devices so
that corresponding directory belongs to container's root instead of global
root for network devices in a container.

Dmitry Torokhov 5f81880d52 sysfs, kobject: allow creating kobject belonging to arbitrary users
Normally kobjects and their sysfs representation belong to global root,
however it is not necessarily the case for objects in separate namespaces.
For example, objects in separate network namespace logically belong to the
container's root and not global root.

This change lays groundwork for allowing network namespace objects
ownership to be transferred to container's root user by defining
get_ownership() callback in ktype structure and using it in sysfs code to
retrieve desired uid/gid when creating sysfs objects for given kobject.

Andy Shevchenko 82d1f1178a lib/kobject: Join string literals back
There is no need to split string literals. Moreover, it would be simpler
to grep for an actual code line, when debugging, by using almost any
part of the string literal in question.

While here, replace printk(LEVEL) by pr_lvl() macros.

No functional change intended.

Linus Torvalds 47fcc0360c Driver Core updates for 4.16-rc1
Here is the set of "big" driver core patches for 4.16-rc1.
 
 The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with reworks
 to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the long run, but
 no functional change.  There's also some tree-wide sysfs attribute
 fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem maintainers, as well
 as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.
 
 And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.
 
 All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

Bart Van Assche 172856eac7 kobject: Export kobj_ns_grab_current() and kobj_ns_drop()
Make it possible to call these two functions from a kernel module.
Note: despite their name, these two functions can be used meaningfully
independent of kobjects. A later patch will add calls to these
functions from the SRP driver because this patch series modifies the
SRP driver such that it can hold a reference to a namespace that can
last longer than the lifetime of the process through which the
namespace reference was obtained.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 045c5f75b7 kobject: Remove redundant license text
Now that the SPDX tag is in all kobject 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.

Greg Kroah-Hartman d9d16e16a3 kobject: add SPDX identifiers to all kobject files
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the kobject 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.

Rasmus Villemoes f773f32d71 lib/kobject.c: use kvasprintf_const for formatting ->name
Sometimes kobject_set_name_vargs is called with a format string conaining
no %, or a format string of precisely "%s", where the single vararg
happens to point to .rodata.  kvasprintf_const detects these cases for us
and returns a copy of that pointer instead of duplicating the string, thus
saving some run-time memory.  Otherwise, it falls back to kvasprintf.  We
just need to always deallocate ->name using kfree_const.

Unfortunately, the dance we need to do to perform the '/' -> '!'
sanitization makes the resulting code rather ugly.

I instrumented kstrdup_const to provide some statistics on the memory
saved, and for me this gave an additional ~14KB after boot (306KB was
already saved; this patch bumped that to 320KB).  I have
KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==3, and since 80% of the kvasprintf_const hits were
satisfied by an 8-byte allocation, the 14K would roughly be quadrupled
when KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==5.  Whether these numbers are sufficient to
justify the ugliness I'll leave to others to decide.

Nicolas Iooss 8db1486065 include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes
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.

 "Outside of our usual batch of fixes, this integrates the subvolume

  Dave Sterba tested and integrated Anand Jain's sysfs improvements.
  Outside of exporting a symbol (ack'd by Greg) these are all internal
  to btrfs and it's mostly cleanups and fixes.  Anand also attached some
  of our sysfs objects to our internal device management structs instead
  of an object off the super block.  It will make device management
  easier overall and it's a better fit for how the sysfs files are used.
  None of the existing sysfs files are moved around.

  Thanks for all the fixes everyone"

Tejun Heo fa4cd451cc sysfs, kobject: add sysfs wrapper for kernfs_enable_ns()
Currently, kobject is invoking kernfs_enable_ns() directly.  This is
fine now as sysfs and kernfs are enabled and disabled together.  If
sysfs is disabled, kernfs_enable_ns() is switched to dummy
implementation too and everything is fine; however, kernfs will soon
have its own config option CONFIG_KERNFS and !SYSFS && KERNFS will be
possible, which can make kobject call into non-dummy
kernfs_enable_ns() with NULL kernfs_node pointers leading to an oops.

Introduce sysfs_enable_ns() which is a wrapper around
kernfs_enable_ns() so that it can be made a noop depending only on
CONFIG_SYSFS regardless of the planned CONFIG_KERNFS.

Tejun Heo 324a56e16e kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly
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.

- mic / gpio renames were missing.  Spotted by kbuild test robot.

Maurizio Lombardi 020d30f17f kobject: fix memory leak in kobject_set_name_vargs
If the call to kvasprintf fails then the old name of the object will be leaked,
this patch fixes the bug by restoring the old name before returning ENOMEM.

Bjorn Helgaas 35a5fe695b kobject: remove kset from sysfs immediately in kset_unregister()
There's no "unlink from sysfs" interface for ksets, so I think callers of
kset_unregister() expect the kset to be removed from sysfs immediately,
without waiting for the last reference to be released.

This patch makes the sysfs removal happen immediately, so the caller may
create a new kset with the same name as soon as kset_unregister() returns.
Without this, every caller has to call "kobject_del(&kset->kobj)" first
unless it knows it will never create a new kset with the same name.

This sometimes shows up on module unload and reload, where the reload fails
because it tries to create a kobject with the same name as one from the
original load that still exists.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y makes this
problem easier to hit.

Bjorn Helgaas 89c86a64cd kobject: delay kobject release for random time
When CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, delay kobject release functions for a
random time between 1 and 8 seconds, which effectively changes the order in
which they're called.

Tejun Heo 93b2b8e4aa sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_create_dir[_ns]()
Introduce kernfs interface to manipulate a directory which takes and
returns sysfs_dirents.

create_dir() is renamed to kernfs_create_dir_ns() and its argumantes
and return value are updated.  create_dir() usages are replaced with
kernfs_create_dir_ns() and sysfs_create_subdir() usages are replaced
with kernfs_create_dir().  Dup warnings are handled explicitly by
sysfs users of the kernfs interface.

sysfs_enable_ns() is renamed to kernfs_enable_ns().

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

v2: Dummy implementation for !CONFIG_SYSFS updated to return -ENOSYS.

v3: kernfs_enable_ns() added.

v4: Refreshed on top of "sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling, take #2"
    so that this patch removes sysfs_enable_ns().
