      percpu: don't implicitly include slab.h from percpu.h · de380b55
      Tejun Heo authored 
      percpu.h has always been including slab.h to get k[mz]alloc/free() for
UP inline implementation.  percpu.h being used by very low level
headers including module.h and sched.h, this meant that a lot files
unintentionally got slab.h inclusion.

Lee Schermerhorn was trying to make topology.h use percpu.h and got
bitten by this implicit inclusion.  The right thing to do is break
this ultimately unnecessary dependency.  The previous patch added
explicit inclusion of either gfp.h or slab.h to the source files using
them.  This patch updates percpu.h such that slab.h is no longer
included from percpu.h.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

      iwlwifi: don't include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h · ed391f4e
      Tejun Heo authored 
      iwl-devtrace.h is used to declare and define trace points and
including iwl-dev.h from the file, which in turn includes other
generic headers, can lead to problems like generating duplicate copies
of generic trace points depending on the order of includes.  Don't
include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h but include it from its users -
iwl-io.h and iwl-devtrace.c.

      x86: don't include slab.h from arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_32.h · 57f4c226
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Including slab.h from x86 pgtable_32.h creates a troublesome
dependency chain w/ ftrace enabled.  The following chain leads to
inclusion of pgtable_32.h from define_trace.h.

 trace/define_trace.h
 trace/ftrace.h
 linux/ftrace_event.h
 linux/ring_buffer.h
 linux/mm.h
 asm/pgtable.h
 asm/pgtable_32.h

slab.h itself defines trace hooks via

 linux/sl[aou]b_def.h
 linux/kmemtrace.h
 trace/events/kmem.h

If slab.h is not included before define_trace.h is included, this
leads to duplicate definitions of kmemtrace hooks or other include
dependency problems.

pgtable_32.h doesn't need slab.h to begin with.  Don't include it from
there.
