Merge tag 'driver-core-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1. The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro, container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer passed into it. The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e. kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do either. The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this. So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules. All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well. Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like: - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates - device property updates All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no problems" * tag 'driver-core-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (58 commits) device property: Fix documentation for fwnode_get_next_parent() firmware_loader: fix up to_fw_sysfs() to preserve const usb.h: take advantage of container_of_const() device.h: move kobj_to_dev() to use container_of_const() container_of: add container_of_const() that preserves const-ness of the pointer driver core: fix up missed drivers/s390/char/hmcdrv_dev.c class.devnode() conversion. driver core: fix up missed scsi/cxlflash class.devnode() conversion. driver core: fix up some missing class.devnode() conversions. driver core: make struct class.devnode() take a const * driver core: make struct class.dev_uevent() take a const * cacheinfo: Remove of_node_put() for fw_token device property: Add a blank line in Kconfig of tests device property: Rename goto label to be more precise device property: Move PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() a bit down device property: Get rid of __PROPERTY_ENTRY_ARRAY_EL*SIZE*() kernfs: fix all kernel-doc warnings and multiple typos driver core: pass a const * into of_device_uevent() kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make name() callback take a const * kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make filter() callback take a const * kobject: make kobject_namespace take a const * ...
