621a5f7ad9 debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()
Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument,
when all it needs is a boolean pointer.

It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *'
instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient.
Over that bool takes just a byte.

That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit
updating the API. regmap core was also using
debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were
updated for that to be bool as well.

EDAC MC0: Giving out device to 'sbridge_edac.c' 'Sandy Bridge Socket#0': DEV 0000:3f:0e.0
EDAC sbridge: Driver loaded.

What happens is that bus_register needs a statically allocated lock_key
because the last is handed in to lockdep. However, struct mem_ctl_info
embeds struct bus_type (the whole struct, not a pointer to it) and the
whole thing gets dynamically allocated.

Fix this by using a statically allocated struct bus_type for the MC bus.

9713faecff EDAC: Merge mci.mem_is_per_rank with mci.csbased
Both mci.mem_is_per_rank and mci.csbased denote the same thing: the
memory controller is csrows based. Merge both fields into one.

There's no need for the driver to actually fill it, as the core detects
it by checking if one of the layers has the csrows type as part of the
memory hierarchy:

	if (layers[i].type == EDAC_MC_LAYER_CHIP_SELECT)
			per_rank = true;

de3910eb79 edac: change the mem allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy
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.

7a623c0390 edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct device
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:

This happens because the bus is not being properly initialized.
Instead of putting the memory sub-devices inside the memory controller,
it is putting everything under the same directory:

$ tree /sys/bus/edac/
/sys/bus/edac/
├── devices
│   ├── all_channel_counts -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts
│   ├── csrow0 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/csrow0
│   ├── csrow1 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/csrow1
│   ├── csrow2 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/csrow2
│   ├── dimm0 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0
│   ├── dimm1 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm1
│   ├── dimm3 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm3

│   └── mc0 -> ../../../devices/system/edac/mc/mc0
├── drivers
├── drivers_autoprobe
├── drivers_probe
└── uevent

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.

5926ff502f edac: Initialize the dimm label with the known information
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).
