Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af34
("fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write
can run simultaneously without deadlock"), search and convert to
stream_open all in-kernel nonseekable_open users for which read and
write actually do not depend on ppos and where there is no other methods
in file_operations which assume @offset access.
I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert -
and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct
to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci
limitations. The script also does not convert files that should be valid to
convert, but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek
for unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.
drivers/input/mousedev.c)
Among cases converted 14 were potentially vulnerable to read vs write deadlock
(see details in 10dce8af34):

and the rest were just safe to convert to stream_open because their read and
write do not use ppos at all and corresponding file_operations do not
have methods that assume @offset file access(*):

One can also recheck/review the patch via generating it with explanation comments included via
$ make coccicheck MODE=patch COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci SPFLAGS="-D explain"
(*) This second group also contains cases with read/write deadlocks that
stream_open.cocci don't yet detect, but which are still valid to convert to
stream_open since ppos is not used. For example drivers/pci/switch/switchtec.c
calls wait_for_completion_interruptible() in its .read, but stream_open.cocci
currently detects only "wait_event*" as blocking.

I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!
If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() strings in several watchdog drivers.
Some are simple as add a parenthesis.
Others are problems from __stringify() being used on a
variable name instead of a macro name, so the variable name
is produced in the string instead of its build-time value.
In these cases, create a macro for the value so that the
module param description string is useful.
Only pc87413_wdt has been built (due to toolchains).

This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
Main changes:
* Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
switch (cmd) {
case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
default:
}
This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
device driver easier in the future.

Make sure that we first do a register_reboot_notifier before we
do a misc_register. A misc_register opens the interface to
userspace and it's best to do this as the last action.

Some watchdog drivers initialize global spinlocks in module's init function
which is tolerable, but some do it in PCI probe function. So, switch to
static initialization to fix theoretical bugs and, more importantly, stop
giving people bad examples.
