This patch adds the new 'class' of object to be managed, named: 'edac_device'.
As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric
view of an ERROR DETECTING device in hardware. It provides a sysfs interface
and an abstraction for varioius EDAC type devices.
Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance'
able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'.
At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields
which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX()
functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields,
which are a summation of counts below that level.
This 'edac_device' has been used to capture and present ECC errors
which are found in a a L1 and L2 system on a per CORE/CPU basis.

This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel
and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source
file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE.
Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c
with it corresponding edac_mc.h file.
Now, there are the following files:
edac_module.c The main module init/exit function and other overhead
edac_mc.c Code handling the edac_mc class of object
edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation
edac_pci_sysfs.c Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation
edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers
edac_module.h Internal CORE .h include file
This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device'
class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

The 82875 EDAC driver enables an otherwise-hidden PCI device, but doesn't
register it as a PCI device properly. Therefore, the device list in
/proc/bus/pci/devices is different than the tree in /sys/bus/pci. This
usually manifests as the X server failing to start, since it expects the
two lists to be consistent.

This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in
EDAC.
This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory
controller modules to implment.
The following things are still outstanding:
- K8 is the first implemenation,
The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber
via the 'mcX' sysfs directory. There should be some fallback to a generic
scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support
scrubbing.
Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all.
- Only works with SDRAM, not cache,
The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so
useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes).
One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support.
- Error Handling,
I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file
system".
- Presentation,
I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing
rate for the following reasons:
I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something
that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up.
"My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "%
memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to
calculate both versions in one-liner scripts.
If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8
changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to
"blocks of 64 bit". Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases,
(I.M.O. anyway ;-).
- Discovery,
There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do
without reading the code and the documentation.
*I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way.
- Bugs(??),
other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register,
those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate.
This is how *I* think it should be.
- Afflicting other areas of code,
I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally -
this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality
and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it
applies to.

When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface,
but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in
2.6.17.
With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface
had some good constructive feedback. PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major
set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch. Instead
of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the
pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch. A future patch will
enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info.
The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and
attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the
memory and PCI operations.
The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state
of EDAC operation.

Remove add_mc_to_global_list(). In next patch, this function will be
reimplemented with different semantics.
1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to
determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure. Then modify
edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new
mem_ctl_info structure. Platform-specific code should be able to assign the
ID numbers in a platform-specific manner. For instance, on Opteron it makes
sense to have the ID of the mem_ctl_info structure match the ID of the node
that the memory controller belongs to.

- After we unregister a kobject, wait for our kobject release method
to call complete(). This causes us to wait until the kobject
reference count reaches 0. Otherwise, a task accessing the EDAC
sysfs interface can hold the reference count above 0 until after the
EDAC module has been unloaded. When the reference count finally
drops to 0, this will result in an attempt to call our release
method inside the EDAC module after the module has already been
unloaded.
This isn't the best fix, since a process can get stuck sleeping forever
uninterruptibly if the user does the following:
rmmod my_module < /sys/my_sysfs/file
I'll go back and implement a better fix later. However this should
be ok for now.

Therefore disable it for now so users don't start depending on it in its

Disable (via ugly #if 0's) the 3 sysfs files that I think by now we all
agree are very much wrong. These files shouldn't become part of the ABI by
the 2.6.16 release, so I rather have this minimal patch merged to disable
them for now, the real fix can then come during the 2.6.17 devel window.

EDAC is still causing a few problems and the code is relatively green. Mark
it as experimental until thing settle down.
Also, provide some documentation pointers in Kconfig help.

By including version.h edac_mc was rebuilding on every incremental build.
Which defeats the point of incremental builds.

The AMD76x chipsets aren't used in 64-bit, so don't offer the driver to the
user.

This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel. It requires no core
kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted.
The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC
has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the
base kernel.
