driver core: add a faux bus for use when a simple device/bus is needed

2025-02-13T15:58:51+00:00

Many drivers abuse the platform driver/bus system as it provides a
simple way to create and bind a device to a driver-specific set of
probe/release functions.  Instead of doing that, and wasting all of the
memory associated with a platform device, here is a "faux" bus that
can be used instead.

driver core: auxiliary bus: show auxiliary device IRQs

2024-07-11T21:17:03+00:00

PCI subfunctions (SF) are anchored on the auxiliary bus. PCI physical
and virtual functions are anchored on the PCI bus. The irq information
of each such function is visible to users via sysfs directory "msi_irqs"
containing files for each irq entry. However, for PCI SFs such
information is unavailable. Due to this users have no visibility on IRQs
used by the SFs.
Secondly, an SF can be multi function device supporting rdma, netdevice
and more. Without irq information at the bus level, the user is unable
to view or use the affinity of the SF IRQs.

Hence to match to the equivalent PCI PFs and VFs, add "irqs" directory,
for supporting auxiliary devices, containing file for each irq entry.

For example:
$ ls /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/mlx5_core.sf.1/irqs/
50  51  52  53  54  55  56  57  58

genirq: Get rid of GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN

Adjust to reality and remove another layer of pointless Kconfig
indirection. CONFIG_GENERIC_MSI_IRQ is good enough to serve
all purposes.

driver core: Add sysfs support for physical location of a device

2022-04-27T07:51:57+00:00

When ACPI table includes _PLD fields for a device, create a new
directory (physical_location) in sysfs to share _PLD fields.

Currently without PLD information, when there are multiple of same
devices, it is hard to distinguish which device corresponds to which
physical device at which location. For example, when there are two Type
C connectors, it is hard to find out which connector corresponds to the
Type C port on the left panel versus the Type C port on the right panel.
With PLD information provided, we can determine which specific device at
which location is doing what.

_PLD output includes much more fields, but only generic fields are added
and exposed to sysfs, so that non-ACPI devices can also support it in
the future. The minimal generic fields needed for locating a device are
the following.
- panel
- vertical_position
- horizontal_position
- dock
- lid

CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, so there is no need for
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE anymore; adjust all instances to use
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG and remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE.

devres: Enable trace events

2021-06-15T15:14:36+00:00

In some cases the printf() mechanism is too heavy and can't be used.
For example, when debugging a race condition involving devres API.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_DEVRES is enabled I can't reproduce an issue, and
otherwise it's quite visible with a useful information being collected.

Enable trace events for devres part of the driver core.

numa: Move numa implementation to common code

2021-01-14T23:08:55+00:00

ARM64 numa implementation is generic enough that RISC-V can reuse that
implementation with very minor cosmetic changes. This will help both
ARM64 and RISC-V in terms of maintanace and feature improvement

Move the numa implementation code to common directory so that both ISAs
can reuse this. This doesn't introduce any function changes for ARM64.

Add auxiliary bus support

2020-12-04T11:23:25+00:00

Add support for the Auxiliary Bus, auxiliary_device and auxiliary_driver.
It enables drivers to create an auxiliary_device and bind an
auxiliary_driver to it.

The bus supports probe/remove shutdown and suspend/resume callbacks.
Each auxiliary_device has a unique string based id; driver binds to
an auxiliary_device based on this id through the bus.

drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework

2018-11-26T17:19:11+00:00

Software node is a new struct fwnode_handle type that can be
used to describe devices in kernel (software). It is meant
to complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when
they are incomplete (for example missing device properties)
and to supply the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks
hardware description for a device completely.

The software node type is really meant to replace the
currently used "property_set" struct fwnode_handle type. The
handling of struct property_set is glued to the generic
device property handling code, and it is not possible to
create a struct property_set independently from the device
that it is bind to. struct property_set is only created when
device properties are added to already initialized struct
device, and control of it is only possible from the generic
property handling code.

Software nodes are instead designed to be created
independently from the device entries (struct device). It
makes them much more flexible, as then the device meant to
be bind to the node can be created at a later time, and from
another location. It is also possible to bind multiple
devices to a single software node if needed.

The software node implementation also includes support for
node hierarchy, which was the main motivation for this
commit. The node hierarchy was something that was requested
for the struct property_set, but it did not seem reasonable
to try to extend the property_set support for that purpose.
struct property_set was really meant only for device
property handling like the name suggests.

Support for struct property_set is not yet removed in this
commit, but it will be in the following one.
