Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are two small fixes for some driver core issues that have been
reported. There is also a kernfs "fix" here, which was then reverted
because it was found to cause problems in linux-next.
The driver core fixes both resolve reported issues, one with gpioint
stuff that showed up in 5.3-rc1, and the other finally (and hopefully)
resolves a very long standing race when removing glue directories.
It's nice to get that issue finally resolved and the developers
involved should be applauded for the persistence it took to get this
patch finally accepted.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues. Well, the one reported issue, hence the revert :)"

Add new attribute named "serial_number" as a standard interface for
user space to acquire the serial number of the device.
For ST-Ericsson SoCs this is exposed by the cryptically named "soc_id"
attribute, but this provides a human readable standardized name for this
property.

This sync_state driver/bus callback is called once all the consumers
of a supplier have probed successfully.
This allows the supplier device's driver/bus to sync the supplier
device's state to the software state with the guarantee that all the
consumers are actively managing the resources provided by the supplier
device.
To maintain backwards compatibility and ease transition from existing
frameworks and resource cleanup schemes, late_initcall_sync is the
earliest when the sync_state callback might be called.
There is no upper bound on the time by which the sync_state callback
has to be called. This is because if a consumer device never probes,
the supplier has to maintain its resources in the state left by the
bootloader. For example, if the bootloader leaves the display
backlight at a fixed voltage and the backlight driver is never probed,
you don't want the backlight to ever be turned off after boot up.
Also, when multiple devices are added after kernel init, some
suppliers could be added before their consumer devices get added. In
these instances, the supplier devices could get their sync_state
callback called right after they probe because the consumers devices
haven't had a chance to create device links to the suppliers.
To handle this correctly, this change also provides APIs to
pause/resume sync state callbacks so that when multiple devices are
added, their sync_state callback evaluation can be postponed to happen
after all of them are added.

The driver core/bus adding supplier-consumer dependencies by default
enables functional dependencies to be tracked correctly even when the
consumer devices haven't had their drivers registered or loaded (if they
are modules).
However, when the bus incorrectly adds dependencies that it shouldn't
have added, the devices might never probe.
For example, if device-C is a consumer of device-S and they have
phandles to each other in DT, the following could happen:
1. Device-S get added first.
2. The bus add_links() callback will (incorrectly) try to link it as
a consumer of device-C.
3. Since device-C isn't present, device-S will be put in
"waiting-for-supplier" list.
4. Device-C gets added next.
5. All devices in "waiting-for-supplier" list are retried for linking.
6. Device-S gets linked as consumer to Device-C.
7. The bus add_links() callback will (correctly) try to link it as
a consumer of device-S.
8. This isn't allowed because it would create a cyclic device links.
Neither devices will get probed since the supplier is marked as
dependent on the consumer. And the consumer will never probe because the
consumer can't get resources from the supplier.
Without this patch, things stay in this broken state. However, with this
patch, the execution will continue like this:
9. Device-C's driver is loaded.
10. Device-C's driver removes Device-S as a consumer of Device-C.
11. Device-C's driver adds Device-C as a consumer of Device-S.
12. Device-S probes.
14. Device-C probes.

When devices are added, the bus might want to create device links to track
functional dependencies between supplier and consumer devices. This
tracking of supplier-consumer relationship allows optimizing device probe
order and tracking whether all consumers of a supplier are active. The
add_links bus callback is added to support this.
However, when consumer devices are added, they might not have a supplier
device to link to despite needing mandatory resources/functionality from
one or more suppliers. A waiting_for_suppliers list is created to track
such consumers and retry linking them when new devices get added.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
The debugfs core will warn if a file or directory can not be created, so

There is a race condition between removing glue directory and adding a new
device under the glue dir. It can be reproduced in following test:
CPU1: CPU2:
device_add()
get_device_parent()
class_dir_create_and_add()
kobject_add_internal()
create_dir() // create glue_dir
device_add()
get_device_parent()
kobject_get() // get glue_dir
device_del()
cleanup_glue_dir()
kobject_del(glue_dir)
kobject_add()
kobject_add_internal()
create_dir() // in glue_dir
sysfs_create_dir_ns()
kernfs_create_dir_ns(sd)
sysfs_remove_dir() // glue_dir->sd=NULL
sysfs_put() // free glue_dir->sd
// sd is freed
kernfs_new_node(sd)
kernfs_get(glue_dir)
kernfs_add_one()
kernfs_put()
Before CPU1 remove last child device under glue dir, if CPU2 add a new
device under glue dir, the glue_dir kobject reference count will be
increase to 2 via kobject_get() in get_device_parent(). And CPU2 has
been called kernfs_create_dir_ns(), but not call kernfs_new_node().
Meanwhile, CPU1 call sysfs_remove_dir() and sysfs_put(). This result in
glue_dir->sd is freed and it's reference count will be 0. Then CPU2 call
kernfs_get(glue_dir) will trigger a warning in kernfs_get() and increase
it's reference count to 1. Because glue_dir->sd is freed by CPU1, the next
call kernfs_add_one() by CPU2 will fail(This is also use-after-free)
and call kernfs_put() to decrease reference count. Because the reference
count is decremented to 0, it will also call kmem_cache_free() to free
the glue_dir->sd again. This will result in double free.
In order to avoid this happening, we also should make sure that kernfs_node
for glue_dir is released in CPU1 only when refcount for glue_dir kobj is
1 to fix this race.

If device_link_add() is called for a consumer/supplier pair with an
existing device link between them and the existing link's type is
not in agreement with the flags passed to that function by its
caller, NULL will be returned. That is seriously inconvenient,
because it forces the callers of device_link_add() to worry about
what others may or may not do even if that is not relevant to them
for any other reasons.
It turns out, however, that this limitation can be made go away
relatively easily.
The underlying observation is that if DL_FLAG_STATELESS has been
passed to device_link_add() in flags for the given consumer/supplier
pair at least once, calling either device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to release the link returned by it should work,
but there are no other requirements associated with that flag. In
turn, if at least one of the callers of device_link_add() for the
given consumer/supplier pair has not passed DL_FLAG_STATELESS to it
in flags, the driver core should track the status of the link and act
on it as appropriate (ie. the link should be treated as "managed").
This means that DL_FLAG_STATELESS needs to be set for managed device
links and it should be valid to call device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to drop references to them in certain
sutiations.
To allow that to happen, introduce a new (internal) device link flag
called DL_FLAG_MANAGED and make device_link_add() set it automatically
whenever DL_FLAG_STATELESS is not passed to it. Also make it take
additional references to existing device links that were previously
stateless (that is, with DL_FLAG_STATELESS set and DL_FLAG_MANAGED
unset) and will need to be managed going forward and initialize
their status (which has been DL_STATE_NONE so far).
Accordingly, when a managed device link is dropped automatically
by the driver core, make it clear DL_FLAG_MANAGED, reset the link's
status back to DL_STATE_NONE and drop the reference to it associated
with DL_FLAG_MANAGED instead of just deleting it right away (to
allow it to stay around in case it still needs to be released
explicitly by someone).
With that, since setting DL_FLAG_STATELESS doesn't mean that the
device link in question is not managed any more, replace all of the
status-tracking checks against DL_FLAG_STATELESS with analogous
checks against DL_FLAG_MANAGED and update the documentation to
reflect these changes.
While at it, make device_link_add() reject flags that it does not
recognize, including DL_FLAG_MANAGED.

After commit 33e4f80ee6 ("ACPI / PM: Ignore spurious SCI wakeups
from suspend-to-idle") the "noirq" phases of device suspend and
resume may run for multiple times during suspend-to-idle, if there
are spurious system wakeup events while suspended. However, this
is complicated and fragile and actually unnecessary.
The main reason for doing this is that on some systems the EC may
signal system wakeup events (power button events, for example) as
well as events that should not cause the system to resume (spurious
system wakeup events). Thus, in order to determine whether or not
a given event signaled by the EC while suspended is a proper system
wakeup one, the EC GPE needs to be dispatched and to start with that
was achieved by allowing the ACPI SCI action handler to run, which
was only possible after calling resume_device_irqs().
However, dispatching the EC GPE this way turned out to take too much
time in some cases and some EC events might be missed due to that, so
commit 68e2201185 ("ACPI: EC: Dispatch the EC GPE directly on
s2idle wake") started to dispatch the EC GPE right after a wakeup
event has been detected, so in fact the full ACPI SCI action handler
doesn't need to run any more to deal with the wakeups coming from the
EC.
Use this observation to simplify the suspend-to-idle control flow
so that the "noirq" phases of device suspend and resume are each
run only once in every suspend-to-idle cycle, which is reported to
significantly reduce power drawn by some systems when suspended to
idle (by allowing them to reach a deep platform-wide low-power state
through the suspend-to-idle flow). [What appears to happen is that
the "noirq" resume of devices after a spurious EC wakeup brings some
devices into a state in which they prevent the platform from reaching
the deep low-power state going forward, even after a subsequent
"noirq" suspend phase, and on some systems the EC triggers such
wakeups already when the "noirq" suspend of devices is running for
the first time in the given suspend/resume cycle, so the platform
cannot reach the deep low-power state at all.]
First, make acpi_s2idle_wake() use the acpi_ec_dispatch_gpe() return
value to determine whether or not the wakeup may have been triggered
by the EC (in which case the system wakeup is canceled and ACPI
events are processed in order to determine whether or not the event
is a proper system wakeup one) and use rearm_wake_irq() (introduced
by a previous change) in it to rearm the ACPI SCI for system wakeup
detection in case the system will remain suspended.
Second, drop acpi_s2idle_sync(), which is not needed any more, and
the corresponding global platform suspend-to-idle callback.
Next, drop the pm_wakeup_pending() check (which is an optimization
only) from __device_suspend_noirq() to prevent it from returning
errors on system wakeups occurring before the "noirq" phase of
device suspend is complete (as in the case of suspend-to-idle it is
not known whether or not these wakeups are suprious at that point),
in order to avoid having to carry out a "noirq" resume of devices
on a spurious system wakeup.
Finally, change the code flow in s2idle_loop() to (1) run the
"noirq" suspend of devices once before starting the loop, (2) check
for spurious EC wakeups (via the platform ->wake callback) for the
first time before calling s2idle_enter(), and (3) run the "noirq"
resume of devices once after leaving the loop.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
