Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices
it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.
for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.
later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree. pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.
actually in device_add
/* first, register with generic layer. */
error = kobject_add(&dev->kobj, dev->kobj.parent, "%s", dev_name(dev));
if (error)
goto Error;
will get one new name for that kobj, old name is freed.

It finally dawned on me what the clean fix to sysfs_rename_dir
calling kobject_set_name is. Move the work into kobject_rename
where it belongs. The callers serialize us anyway so this is
safe.

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.
kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.
kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do.
This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.
This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.
This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject
level that we don't.

Detect all physical PCI slots as described by ACPI, and create entries in
/sys/bus/pci/slots/.
Not all physical slots are hotpluggable, and the acpiphp module does not
detect them. Now we know the physical PCI geography of our system, without
caring about hotplug.

kset_initialize was calling kobject_init_internal() which didn't
initialize the kobject as well as kobject_init() was. So have
kobject_init() call kobject_init_internal() and move the logic to
initalize the kobject there.

We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper
cleanup when the last reference is dropped.
If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from
sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and
the allocated resources are released.
This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us
to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core
about four years ago. The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds
of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long
as any of their children were still allocated. The original and
correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still
_registered_; that's what this patch reinstates.
This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device
to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds
reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is
the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being
released, even though they are deregistered okay.
It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface,
things that have been hidden for several years. They can be fixed
easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to
the parent whenever needed.

kobject_init should not be grabing any references, but only initializing
the object. This patch fixes this, and makes the lock hold-time shorter
for when a kset is present in the kobject.

should be safe.

Remove the no longer needed subsys_attributes, they are all converted to

There is no longer a magic fallback in sysfs attribute operations, all
kobjects which create simple attributes need explicitely a ktype
assigned, which tells the core what was intended here.
