As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek().
There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic:
- Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts
past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this
also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at
some later point making debugging harder.
- generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size
which might not be correct for all sysfs entries.
See commit 636b21b501 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example.
Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute
level. The method is optional, and if it is absent,
generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.

Most sysfs attributes are statically defined, the goal with this design
being to be able to move all the filesystem description into read-only
memory. Anyway, it may be relevant in some cases to populate attributes
at run time. This leads to situation where an attribute may or may not be
present depending on conditions which are not known at compile
time, up to the point where no attribute at all gets added in a folder
which then becomes "sometimes" empty. Problem is, providing an attribute
group with a name and without .[bin_]attrs members will be loudly
refused by the core, leading in most cases to a device registration
failure.
The simple way to support such situation right now is to dynamically
allocate an empty attribute array, which is:
* a (small) waste of space
* a waste of time
* disturbing, to say the least, as an empty sysfs folder will be created
anyway.
Another (even worse) possibility would be to dynamically overwrite a
member of the attribute_group list, hopefully the last, which is also
supposed to remain in the read-only section.
In order to avoid these hackish situations, while still giving a little
bit of flexibility, we might just check the validity of the .[bin_]attrs
list and, if empty, just skip the attribute group creation instead of
failing. This way, developers will not be tempted to workaround the
core with useless allocations or strange writes on supposedly read-only
structures.
The content of the WARN() message is kept but turned into a debug
message in order to help developers understanding why their sysfs
folders might now silently fail to be created.

The purpose of the if/else block is to select the right sysfs directory
entry to be used for the files creation. At a first look when you have
the file in front of you, it really seems like the "create_files()"
lines right after the block are badly indented and the "else" does not
guard. In practice the code is correct but lacks curly brackets to show
where the big if/else block actually ends. Add these brackets to comply
with the current kernel coding style and to ease the understanding of
the whole logic.

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.

Defer invocation of the iomem_get_mapping() to the sysfs open callback
so that it can be executed as needed when the binary sysfs object has
been accessed.
To do that, convert the "mapping" member of the struct bin_attribute
from a pointer to the struct address_space into a function pointer with
a signature that requires the same return type, and then updates the
sysfs_kf_bin_open() to invoke provided function should the function
pointer be valid.
Also, convert every invocation of iomem_get_mapping() into a function
pointer assignment, therefore allowing for the iomem_get_mapping()
invocation to be deferred to when the sysfs open callback runs.
Thus, this change removes the need for the fs_initcalls to complete
before any other sub-system that uses the iomem_get_mapping() would be
able to invoke it safely without leading to a failure and an Oops
related to an invalid iomem_get_mapping() access.

We want to be able to revoke pci mmaps so that the same access rules
applies as for /dev/kmem. Revoke support for devmem was added in
3234ac664a ("/dev/mem: Revoke mappings when a driver claims the
region").
The simplest way to achieve this is by having the same filp->f_mapping
for all mappings, so that unmap_mapping_range can find them all, no
matter through which file they've been created. Since this must be set
at open time we need sysfs support for this.
Add an optional mapping parameter bin_attr, which is only consulted
when there's also an mmap callback, since without mmap support
allowing to adjust the ->f_mapping makes no sense.

Commit 9255782f70 ("sysfs: Wrap __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj

around a new non-underscored function, which is a bit odd. The normal
naming convention is the other way around: the underscored function is
the wrappee, and the non-underscored function is the wrapper.
There's only one single user (well, two call-sites in that user) of the
more limited double underscore version of this function, so just remove
the oddly named wrapper entirely and just add the extra NULL argument to
the user.
I considered just doing that in the merge, but that tends to make
history really hard to read.

Add a helper to change the owner of sysfs objects.
This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership
changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.
This mirrors how a kobject is added through driver core which in its guts is
done via kobject_add_internal() which in summary creates the main directory via
create_dir(), populates that directory with the groups associated with the
ktype of the kobject (if any) and populates the directory with the basic
attributes associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any). These are the
basic steps that are associated with adding a kobject in sysfs.
Any additional properties are added by the specific subsystem itself (not by
driver core) after it has registered the device. So for the example of network
devices, a network device will e.g. register a queue subdirectory under the
basic sysfs directory for the network device and than further subdirectories
within that queues subdirectory. But that is all specific to network devices
and they call the corresponding sysfs functions to do that directly when they
create those queue objects. So anything that a subsystem adds outside of what
driver core does must also be changed by it (That's already true for removal of
files it created outside of driver core.) and it's the same for ownership
changes.

"The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
cycle"

Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.
This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.
Notes:
(1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).
(2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree(). The extra
namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired
(3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
get called in the right places.
(4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
add a parameter in future.
(5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.
(6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
which allows userspace to collect them directly.
(7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.
Weirdies:
(*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks. I'm
told this is okay and needs commenting.
(*) The cgroup refcount web. This really needs documenting.
(*) cgroup2 only has one root?
Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.

It's rude to crash the system just because the developer did something
wrong, as it prevents them from usually even seeing what went wrong.
So convert the few BUG_ON() calls that have snuck into the sysfs code
over the years to WARN_ON() to make it more "friendly". All of these
are able to be recovered from, so it makes no sense to crash.

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.

This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary
uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending
kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments.
The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone
and always create objects belonging to the global root.
When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs
object.

There are a couple of problems with named group updates in the code
today:
* sysfs_update_group() will always fail for a named group, because
internal_create_group() will try to create a new sysfs directory
unconditionally, which will ofcourse fail with -EEXIST.
* We can leak the kernfs_node for grp->name if some one tries to:
- rename a group (change grp->name), or
- update a named group, to an unnamed group
It appears that the whole purpose of sysfs_update_group() was to
allow changing the permissions or visibility of attributes and not
the names. So make it clear in the comments, and allow it to update
an existing named group.

new_sb is left uninitialized in case of early failures in kernfs_mount_ns(),

is not a solution - IS_ERR(root) is true in some cases when new_sb is true.
Make sure new_sb is initialized (and matches the reality) in all cases and
fix the condition for dropping kobj reference - we want it done precisely

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.
