From 3d52943b3a51497a777e6d7d840a38596a92cee9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudeep Holla Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 14:48:24 +0100 Subject: drivers: base: add cpu_device_create to support per-cpu devices This patch adds a new function to create per-cpu devices. This helps in: 1. reusing the device infrastructure to create any cpu related attributes and corresponding sysfs instead of creating and dealing with raw kobjects directly 2. retaining the legacy path(/sys/devices/system/cpu/..) to support existing sysfs ABI 3. avoiding to create links in the bus directory pointing to the device as there would be per-cpu instance of these devices with the same name since dev->bus is not populated to cpu_sysbus on purpose Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla Tested-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: David Herrmann Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- include/linux/cpu.h | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/cpu.h') diff --git a/include/linux/cpu.h b/include/linux/cpu.h index b2d9a43012b2..4260e8594bd7 100644 --- a/include/linux/cpu.h +++ b/include/linux/cpu.h @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ struct device; struct device_node; +struct attribute_group; struct cpu { int node_id; /* The node which contains the CPU */ @@ -39,6 +40,9 @@ extern void cpu_remove_dev_attr(struct device_attribute *attr); extern int cpu_add_dev_attr_group(struct attribute_group *attrs); extern void cpu_remove_dev_attr_group(struct attribute_group *attrs); +extern struct device *cpu_device_create(struct device *parent, void *drvdata, + const struct attribute_group **groups, + const char *fmt, ...); #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU extern void unregister_cpu(struct cpu *cpu); extern ssize_t arch_cpu_probe(const char *, size_t); -- cgit v1.2.3
