b5f3abf950 params: replace printk(KERN_<LVL>...) with pr_<lvl>(...)
I left 1 printk which uses __FILE__, __LINE__ explicitly, which should
not be subject to generic preferences expressed via pr_fmt().

+ tweaks suggested by Joe Perches:
- add doing to irq-enabled warning, like others.  It wont happen often..
- change sysfs failure crit, not just err, make it 1 line in logs.
- coalese 2 format fragments into 1 >80 char line

1ef9eaf2bf params.c: fix Smack complaint about parse_args
In commit 9fb48c744: "params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback
signature", the if-guard added to the pr_debug was overzealous; no
callers pass NULL, and existing code above and below the guard assumes
as much.  Change the if-guard to match, and silence the Smack
complaint.

9fb48c744b params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback signature
Add a 3rd arg, named "doing", to unknown-options callbacks invoked
from parse_args(). The arg is passed as:

  "Booting kernel" from start_kernel(),
  initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(),
  mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one()

parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to
"doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above.  parse_args() passes
it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the
unknown option handler callbacks.

The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules,
since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a
"$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is
called, the module name is not otherwise available.

Minor tweaks:

Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt
identify the param being handled, add it.

Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall,
and number of registered initcalls at that level.  This adds 7 lines
to dmesg output, like:

   initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls

Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the
pr_info() added above.  This array is passed into parse_args() by
do_initcall_level().

026cee0086 params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters
This patch adds a set of macros that can be used to declare
kernel parameters to be parsed _before_ initcalls at a chosen
level are executed.  We rename the now-unused "flags" field of
struct kernel_param as the level.  It's signed, for when we
use this for early params as well, in future.

Linker macro collating init calls had to be modified in order
to add additional symbols between levels that are later used
by the init code to split the calls into blocks.

8b8252813d module_param: remove support for bool parameters which are really int.
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

This eliminates that code (though leaves the flags field in the struct,
for impending use).

Different tree maintainers picked up independently generated
trivial compile fixes based on linux-next testing, resulting

Delete any duplicates so includecheck isn't complaining about

69116f279a module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases.
For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
an unsigned int).  That's going away.

A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
will set it to 0 or 1.  This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").

Use a new 'bint' parser for them.

(ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
it's also exposed via sysctl.)

72a59aaada kernel: params.c needs module.h not moduleparam.h
Through various other implicit include paths, some files were
getting the full module.h file, and hence living the illusion
that they really only needed moduleparam.h -- but the reality
is that once you remove the module.h presence, these show up:

kernel/params.c:583: warning: ‘struct module_kobject’ declared inside parameter list

Such files really require module.h so simply make it so.  As the
file module.h grabs moduleparam.h on the fly, all will be well.

b1e4d20cbf params: make dashes and underscores in parameter names truly equal
The user may use "foo-bar" for a kernel parameter defined as "foo_bar".
Make sure it works the other way around too.

Apply the equality of dashes and underscores on early_params and __setup
params as well.

The example given in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt indicates that
this is the intended behaviour.

With the patch the kernel accepts "log-buf-len=1M" as expected.

88bfa32479 module: add /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
Userspace wants to manage module parameters with udev rules.
This currently only works for loaded modules, but not for
built-in ones.

To allow access to the built-in modules we need to
re-trigger all module load events that happened before any
userspace was running. We already do the same thing for all
devices, subsystems(buses) and drivers.

This adds the currently missing /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
to all module entries.

81c7413650 param: fix return value handling in param_set_*
In STANDARD_PARAM_DEF, param_set_* handles the case in which strtolfn
returns -EINVAL but it may return -ERANGE. If it returns -ERANGE,
param_set_* may set uninitialized value to the paramerter. We should handle
both cases.

The one of the cases in which strtolfn() returns -ERANGE is following:

 *Type of module parameter is long
 *Set the parameter more than LONG_MAX

b4bc842802 module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module versions
On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to
align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary.
This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section
in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in
modules.

Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into
independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect
array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the
objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in
different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably
is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and
put those pointers in the special section.

e94965ed5b module: show version information for built-in modules in sysfs
Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions
shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might
also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important
for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if
built-in, are completely invisible from userspace.

This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are
compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate
section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute
in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

907b29eb41 param: locking for kernel parameters
There may be cases (most obviously, sysfs-writable charp parameters) where
a module needs to prevent sysfs access to parameters.

Rather than express this in terms of a big lock, the functions are
expressed in terms of what they protect against.  This is clearer, esp.
if the implementation changes to a module-level or even param-level lock.

a1054322af param: use free hook for charp (fix leak of charp parameters)
Instead of using a "I kmalloced this" flag, we keep track of the kmalloced
strings and use that list to check if we need to kfree (in practice, the
list is very short).

This means that kparams can be const again, and plugs a leak.  This
is important for drivers/usb/gadget/nokia.c which gets modprobe/rmmod'ed
frequently on the N9000.

9bbb9e5a33 param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directly
This is more kernel-ish, saves some space, and also allows us to
expand the ops without breaking all the callers who are happy for the
new members to be NULL.

The few places which defined their own param types are changed to the
new scheme (more which crept in recently fixed in following patches).

Since we're touching them anyway, we change get() and set() to take a
const struct kernel_param (which they really are).  This causes some
harmless warnings until we fix them (in following patches).

To reduce churn, module_param_call creates the ops struct so the callers
don't have to change (and casts the functions to reduce warnings).
The modern version which takes an ops struct is called module_param_cb.
