Kernel kobjects have rigid rules: each container object should be
dynamically allocated, and can't be allocated into a single kmalloc.
EDAC never obeyed this rule: it has a single malloc function that
allocates all needed data into a single kzalloc.
As this is not accepted anymore, change the allocation schema of the
EDAC *_info structs to enforce this Kernel standard.

Sometimes, it is useful to have a mechanism that generates fake
errors, in order to test the EDAC core code, and the userspace
tools.
Provide such mechanism by adding a few debugfs nodes.

The EDAC subsystem uses the old struct sysdev approach,
creating all nodes using the raw sysfs API. This is bad,
as the API is deprecated.
As we'll be changing the EDAC API, let's first port the existing
code to struct device.
There's one drawback on this patch: driver-specific sysfs
nodes, used by mpc85xx_edac, amd64_edac and i7core_edac
won't be created anymore. While it would be possible to
also port the device-specific code, that would mix kobj with
struct device, with is not recommended. Also, it is easier and nicer
to move the code to the drivers, instead, as the core can get rid
of some complex logic that just emulates what the device_add()
and device_create_file() already does.
The next patches will convert the driver-specific code to use
the device-specific calls. Then, the remaining bits of the old
sysfs API will be removed.
NOTE: a per-MC bus is required, otherwise devices with more than
one memory controller will hit a bug like the one below:

On a multi-memory controller system, the names "csrow%d" and "dimm%d"
should be under "mc%d", and not at the main hierarchy level.
So, we need to create a per-MC bus, in order to have its own namespace.

While userspace doesn't fill the dimm labels, add there the dimm location,
as described by the used memory model. This could eventually match what
is described at the dmidecode, making easier for people to identify the
memory.
For example, on an Intel motherboard where the DMI table is reliable,
the first memory stick is described as:
Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x0029
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
Total Width: 64 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 2048 MB
Form Factor: DIMM
Set: 1
Locator: A1_DIMM0
Bank Locator: A1_Node0_Channel0_Dimm0
Type: <OUT OF SPEC>
Type Detail: Synchronous
Speed: 800 MHz
Manufacturer: A1_Manufacturer0
Serial Number: A1_SerNum0
Asset Tag: A1_AssetTagNum0
Part Number: A1_PartNum0
The memory named as "A1_DIMM0" is physically located at the first
memory controller (node 0), at channel 0, dimm slot 0.
After this patch, the memory label will be filled with:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/csrow0/ch0_dimm_label:mc#0channel#0slot#0
And (after the new EDAC API patches) as:
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0/dimm_label:mc#0channel#0slot#0
So, even if the memory label is not initialized on userspace, an useful
information with the error location is filled there, expecially since
several systems/motherboards are provided with enough info to map from
channel/slot (or branch/channel/slot) into the DIMM label. So, letting the
EDAC core fill it by default is a good thing.
It should noticed that, as the label filling happens at the
edac_mc_alloc(), drivers can override it to better describe the memories
(and some actually do it).

Change the EDAC internal representation to work with non-csrow
based memory controllers.
There are lots of those memory controllers nowadays, and more
are coming. So, the EDAC internal representation needs to be
changed, in order to work with those memory controllers, while
preserving backward compatibility with the old ones.
The edac core was written with the idea that memory controllers
are able to directly access csrows.
This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.
Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks.
So, change the allocation and error report routines to allow
them to work with all types of architectures.
This will allow the removal of several hacks with FB-DIMM and RAMBUS
memory controllers.
Also, several tests were done on different platforms using different
x86 drivers.
TODO: a multi-rank DIMMs are currently represented by multiple DIMM
entries in struct dimm_info. That means that changing a label for one
rank won't change the same label for the other ranks at the same DIMM.
This bug is present since the beginning of the EDAC, so it is not a big
deal. However, on several drivers, it is possible to fix this issue, but
it should be a per-driver fix, as the csrow => DIMM arrangement may not
be equal for all. So, don't try to fix it here yet.
I tried to make this patch as short as possible, preceding it with
several other patches that simplified the logic here. Yet, as the
internal API changes, all drivers need changes. The changes are
generally bigger in the drivers for FB-DIMMs.

The edac core were written with the idea that memory controllers
are able to directly access csrows, and that the channels are
used inside a csrows select.
This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.
Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks, accessed
via csrow/channel.
So, changes are needed in order to allow the EDAC core to
work with all types of architectures.
In preparation for handling non-csrows based memory controllers,
add some memory structs and a macro:
enum hw_event_mc_err_type: describes the type of error
(corrected, uncorrected, fatal)
To be used by the new edac_mc_handle_error function;
enum edac_mc_layer: describes the type of a given memory
architecture layer (branch, channel, slot, csrow).
struct edac_mc_layer: describes the properties of a memory
layer (type, size, and if the layer
will be used on a virtual csrow.
EDAC_DIMM_PTR() - as the number of layers can vary from 1 to 3,
this macro converts from an address with up to 3 layers into
a linear address.

The number of pages is a dimm property. Move it to the dimm struct.
After this change, it is possible to add sysfs nodes for the DIMM's that
will properly represent the DIMM stick properties, including its size.
A TODO fix here is to properly represent dual-rank/quad-rank DIMMs when
the memory controller represents the memory via chip select rows.

On systems based on chip select rows, all channels need to use memories
with the same properties, otherwise the memories on channels A and B
won't be recognized.
However, such assumption is not true for all types of memory
controllers.
Controllers for FB-DIMM's don't have such requirements.
Also, modern Intel controllers seem to be capable of handling such
differences.
So, we need to get rid of storing the DIMM information into a per-csrow
data, storing it, instead at the right place.
The first step is to move grain, mtype, dtype and edac_mode to the
per-dimm struct.

The way a DIMM is currently represented implies that they're
linked into a per-csrow struct. However, some drivers don't see
csrows, as they're ridden behind some chip like the AMB's
on FBDIMM's, for example.
This forced drivers to fake^Wvirtualize a csrow struct, and to create
a mess under csrow/channel original's concept.
Move the DIMM labels into a per-DIMM struct, and add there
the real location of the socket, in terms of csrow/channel.
Latter patches will modify the location to properly represent the
memory architecture.
All other drivers will use a per-csrow type of location.
Some of those drivers will require a latter conversion, as
they also fake the csrows internally.
TODO: While this patch doesn't change the existing behavior, on
csrows-based memory controllers, a csrow/channel pair points to a memory
rank. There's a known bug at the EDAC core that allows having different
labels for the same DIMM, if it has more than one rank. A latter patch
is need to merge the several ranks for a DIMM into the same dimm_info
struct, in order to avoid having different labels for the same DIMM.
The edac_mc_alloc() will now contain a per-dimm initialization loop that
will be changed by latter patches in order to match other types of
memory architectures.

What it is pointed by a csrow/channel vector is a rank information, and
not a channel information.
On a traditional architecture, the memory controller directly access the
memory ranks, via chip select rows. Different ranks at the same DIMM is
selected via different chip select rows. So, typically, one
csrow/channel pair means one different DIMM.
On FB-DIMMs, there's a microcontroller chip at the DIMM, called Advanced
Memory Buffer (AMB) that serves as the interface between the memory
controller and the memory chips.
The AMB selection is via the DIMM slot, and not via a csrow.
It is up to the AMB to talk with the csrows of the DRAM chips.
So, the FB-DIMM memory controllers see the DIMM slot, and not the DIMM
rank. RAMBUS is similar.
Newer memory controllers, like the ones found on Intel Sandy Bridge and
Nehalem, even working with normal DDR3 DIMM's, don't use the usual
channel A/channel B interleaving schema to provide 128 bits data access.
Instead, they have more channels (3 or 4 channels), and they can use
several interleaving schemas. Such memory controllers see the DIMMs
directly on their registers, instead of the ranks, which is better for
the driver, as its main usageis to point to a broken DIMM stick (the
Field Repleceable Unit), and not to point to a broken DRAM chip.
The drivers that support such such newer memory architecture models
currently need to fake information and to abuse on EDAC structures, as
the subsystem was conceived with the idea that the csrow would always be
visible by the CPU.
To make things a little worse, those drivers don't currently fake
csrows/channels on a consistent way, as the concepts there don't apply
to the memory controllers they're talking with. So, each driver author
interpreted the concepts using a different logic.
In order to fix it, let's rename the data structure that points into a
DIMM rank to "rank_info", in order to be clearer about what's stored
there.
Latter patches will provide a better way to represent the memory
hierarchy for the other types of memory controller.

The Computer memory terminology has changed with time since EDAC was
originally written: new concepts were introduced, and some things have
different meanings, depending on the memory architecture.
Improve the definition of all related terms.
Also, describe each memory type in a more detailed fashion.
No functional changes. Just comments were touched.

The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.
Clean up the users as follows:
1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.
2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.
3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h
4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).
Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.
Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming
from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.
As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

As we'll need to use those structs for trace functions, they should
be on a more public place. So, move struct mem_ctl_info & friends
to edac.h.
No functional changes on this patch.

Move toplevel sysfs class to the stub and make it available to
non-modularized code too. Add proper refcounting of its users and move
the registration functionality into the reference counting routines.

I implemented opstate_init() as a inline function in linux/edac.h.
added calling opstate_init() to:
i82443bxgx_edac.c
i82860_edac.c
i82875p_edac.c
i82975x_edac.c
I wrote a fixed patch of
edac-fix-module-initialization-on-several-modules.patch,
and tested building 2.6.25-rc7 with applying this. It was succeed.
I think the patch is now correct.

Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC
subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable.
Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can
have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also
implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection
mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option.
Please review/test. Thx!
Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am
unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.
