General support for state persistence is added to gpiolib with the
introduction of a new pinconf parameter to propagate the request to
hardware. The existing persistence support for sleep is adapted to
include hardware support if the GPIO driver provides it. Persistence
continues to be enabled by default; in-kernel consumers can opt out, but
userspace (currently) does not have a choice.
The *_SLEEP_MAY_LOSE_VALUE and *_SLEEP_MAINTAIN_VALUE symbols are
renamed, dropping the SLEEP prefix to reflect that the concept is no
longer sleep-specific. I feel that renaming to just *_MAY_LOSE_VALUE
could initially be misinterpreted, so I've further changed the symbols
to *_TRANSITORY and *_PERSISTENT to address this.
The sysfs interface is modified only to keep consistency with the
chardev interface in enforcing persistence for userspace exports.

Check user-given gpio number and reject it before
calling gpio_to_desc() because gpio_to_desc() is
for kernel driver and it expects given gpio number
is valid (means 0 to 511).
If given number is invalid, gpio_to_desc() calls
WARN() and dump registers and stack for debug.
This means user can easily kick WARN() just by
writing invalid gpio number (e.g. 512) to
/sys/class/gpio/export.

Some information about the GPIO chip need to stay around also
after the gpio_chip has been removed and only the gpio_device
persist. The base and ngpio are such things, for example we
don't want a new chip arriving to overlap the number space
of a dangling gpio_device, and the chardev may still query
the device for the number of lines etc.
Note that the code that assigns base and insert gpio_device
into the global list no longer check for a missing gpio_chip:
we respect the number space allocated by any other gpio_device.
As a consequence of the gdev being referenced directly from
the gpio_desc, we need to verify it differently from all
in-kernel API calls that fall through to direct queries to
the gpio_chip vtable: we first check that desc is !NULL, then
that desc->gdev is !NULL, then, if desc->gdev->chip is NULL,
we *BAIL OUT* without any error, so as to manage the case
where operations are requested on a device that is gone.
These checks were non-uniform and partly missing in the past:
so to simplify: create the macros VALIDATE_DESC() that will
return -EINVAL if the desc or desc->gdev is missing and just
0 if the chip is gone, and conversely VALIDATE_DESC_VOID()
for the case where the function does not return an error.
By using these macros, we get warning messages about missing
gdev with reference to the right function in the kernel log.
Despite the macro business this simplifies the code and make
it more readable than if we copy/paste the same descriptor
checking code into all code ABI call sites (IMHO).

Since gpio_device is the struct that survives if the backing

Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
GPIO chips have been around for years, but were never real devices,
instead they were piggy-backing on a parent device (such as a
platform_device or amba_device) but this was always optional.
GPIO chips could also exist without any device at all, with its
struct device *parent (ex *dev) pointer being set to null.
When sysfs was in use, a mock device would be created, with the
optional parent assigned, or just floating orphaned with NULL
as parent.
If sysfs is active, it will use this device as parent.
We now create a gpio_device struct containing a real
struct device and move the subsystem over to using that. The
list of struct gpio_chip:s is augmented to hold struct
gpio_device:s and we find gpio_chips:s by first looking up
the struct gpio_device.
The struct gpio_device is designed to stay around even if the
gpio_chip is removed, so as to satisfy users in userspace
that need a backing data structure to hold the state of the
session initiated with e.g. a character device even if there is
no physical chip anymore.
From this point on, gpiochips are devices.

The name .dev in a struct is normally reserved for a struct device
that is let us say a superclass to the thing described by the struct.
struct gpio_chip stands out by confusingly using a struct device *dev
to point to the parent device (such as a platform_device) that
represents the hardware. As we want to give gpio_chip:s real devices,
this is not working. We need to rename this member to parent.
This was done by two coccinelle scripts, I guess it is possible to
combine them into one, but I don't know such stuff. They look like
this:
@@
struct gpio_chip *var;
@@
-var->dev

Add a per-gpio mutex to serialise attribute operations rather than use

Having a single global lock for all gpios in a system adds unnecessary
latency to the sysfs interface, and especially when having gpio
controllers connected over slow buses.
Now that the global gpio-sysfs interrupt table is gone and with per-gpio

Drivers should not care, and generally does not know, about gpio-line
polarity which is a hardware feature that needs to be described by
firmware.
It is currently possible to define gpio-line polarity in device-tree and
acpi firmware or using platform data. Userspace can also change the
polarity through sysfs.
Note that drivers using the legacy gpio interface could still use
GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to change the polarity before exporting the gpio.
There are no in-kernel users of this interface.

Drivers should call gpiochip_lock_as_irq (which prevents the pin
direction from being changed) in their irq_request_resources callbacks
but some drivers currently fail to do so.
Instead a second, explicit and often redundant call to lock-as-irq is
made by the sysfs-interface implementation after an irq has been
requested.
Move the explicit call before the irq-request to match the unlock done
after the irq is later released. Note that this also fixes an irq leak,
should the explicit call ever have failed.
Also add a comment about removing the redundant call once the broken
drivers have been fixed.

Unregister GPIOs requested through sysfs at chip remove to avoid leaking
the associated memory and sysfs entries.
The stale sysfs entries prevented the gpio numbers from being exported
when the gpio range was later reused (e.g. at device reconnect).
This also fixes the related module-reference leak.
Note that kernfs makes sure that any on-going sysfs operations finish
before the class devices are unregistered and that further accesses
fail.
The chip exported flag is used to prevent gpiod exports during removal.
This also makes it harder to trigger, but does not fix, the related race
between gpiochip_remove and export_store, which is really a race with
gpiod_request that needs to be addressed separately.
Also note that this would prevent the crashes (e.g. NULL-dereferences)
at reconnect that affects pre-3.18 kernels, as well as use-after-free on
operations on open attribute files on pre-3.14 kernels (prior to
kernfs).

The gpio device attributes were never destroyed when the gpio was
unexported (or on export failures).
Use device_create_with_groups() to create the default device attributes
of the gpio class device. Note that this also fixes the
attribute-creation race with userspace for these attributes.
Remove contingent attributes in export error path and on unexport.

The gpio-chip device attributes were never destroyed when the device was
removed.
Fix by using device_create_with_groups() to create the device attributes
of the chip class device.
Note that this also fixes the attribute-creation race with userspace.

Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for
consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the
affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const
descriptor variable to non-const. This could lead to incorrect behavior
if the compiler decides to optimize here, so remove this const
attribute. The intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway,
so it does not really matter.

This function actually operates on a gpio_chip, so its prefix should
reflect that fact for consistency with other functions defined in
gpio/driver.h.

gpio_lock/unlock_as_irq() are working with (chip, offset) arguments and
are thus not using the old integer namespace. Therefore, there is no
reason to have gpiod variants of these functions working with
descriptors, especially since the (chip, offset) tuple is more suitable
to the users of these functions (GPIO drivers, whereas GPIO descriptors
are targeted at GPIO consumers).

For some reason gpiochip_export() would invalidate all the descriptors
of a chip if exporting it to sysfs failed. This does not appear as
necessary. Remove that part of the code.
While we are at it, add a note about the non-safety of temporarily
releasing a spinlock in the middle of the loop that protects its
iterator, and explain why this is done.

sysfs support is currently entangled within the core GPIO support, while
it should relly just be a (privileged) user of the integer GPIO API.
This patch is a first step towards making the gpiolib code more readable
by splitting it into logical parts.
Move all sysfs support to their own source file, and share static
members of gpiolib that need to be in the private gpiolib.h file. In
the future we will want to put some of them back into gpiolib.c, but this
first patch let us at least identify them.
