Up to now, each hwmon driver has to implement its own sysfs attributes.
This requires a lot of template code, and distracts from the driver's core
function to read and write chip registers.

To be able to reduce driver complexity, move sensor attribute handling
and thermal zone registration into hwmon core. By using the new API,
driver code and data size is typically reduced by 20-70%, depending
on driver complexity and the number of sysfs attributes supported.

With this patch, the new API only supports thermal sensors. Support for
other sensor types will be added with subsequent patches.

v3:
- Thermal registration depends on IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_THERMAL) and
  CONFIG_THERMAL_OF.
v2:
- Document callback function parameters of struct hwmon_ops in
  include/linux/hwmon.h.
- Clarify that the is_visible() callback is mandatory.
- Initialize device attribute read/write callback functions unconditionally.
- If an attribute has no template string, treat it as invisible, not as
  error. Affected are virtual attributes such as HWMON_C_REGISTER_TZ.
- Added newline to improve readability.

Review comments not addressed:
- Stick with u32 for attribute masks. We could use u64, but it is currently
  not needed, and changing it later would be straightforward.
- Do not use for_each_set_bit() to walk attribute masks.
  for_each_set_bit() expects a pointer to an unsigned long as argument,
  which would make it difficult to switch to u64 attribute masks if/when
  needed.

Hi Guenter,

Seems like this patch introduces a cycling dependency between
thermal_sys and hwmon:

DEPMOD 4.8.0-rc1-next-20160811-00001-g2f84cf7854e7
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!
depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: hwmon -> thermal_sys -> hwmon

As reported by R, Vignesh <vigneshr@ti.com>.

Hmm ... interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to think about that.

Hi Guenter,

I see this patch is upstream now, but I had started reviewing it and
maybe some of my comments are still relevant.

It's not meant to be a complete review, which is why I had not sent it
yet :-(

Also I did not follow the first iterations of this patchset so my
apologies if I raise points which have already been discussed.

May I ask if any other subsystem is already doing anything like that?

FYI I gave a presentation about the hwmon device registration API
evolution last week at Kernel Recipes [1] in Paris and mentioned this
proposal.

I looked at the diffstats for the drivers you have already converted and
couldn't see any such huge improvement... Some drivers appear to be even
larger after conversion?

I believe it would make sense to add you copyright at the top of the
file. That's a pretty big change with lots of code.

Any reason why you don't simply attach the provided ->is_visible to the
attribute group and let the driver core do the work?

This needs a comment. It's not obvious what "hwmon_chip" is supposed to
represent. From what I understand, maybe "hwmon_unique" would be a more
appropriate name.

So basically you are doing 1 or 2 memory allocations for every
attribute? Looks quite bad from a memory fragmentation
perspective :-( Not to mention performance. Given that you have all the
data at hand before you start, can't you preallocate an array with the
right number of hattr and pick from it? That would at least solve half
of the problem.

Something similar for string allocation may work too, although it's
somewhat more complex due to the variable length. But I think the
abituguru3 driver is doing it right, so maybe you can too.

is_visible is documented as mandatory, so why would this check be needed

I don't find this clear. "driver specific" doesn't really tell me what
it is. My first reaction when reviewing the changes from an API
perspective was "the attributes would be generated from the
hwmon_chip_info, so why are we still passing them as a parameter?" Now I
seem to understand that "groups" here is meant for extra attributes
which aren't part of standard sysfs interface. This would be NULL for
most drivers, right?

To clear up the confusion, what about renaming this parameter to
"extra_groups"? And maybe rewording "driver specific" to "non-standard"?

As a side note I am wondering if it would be reasonable to limit it to a
single group, instead of a NULL-terminated array of groups. This would
make the code a little more efficient.

This is adding a 4th and 5th way to register a hwmon device. Starts
being a bit messy... Do you have any plans to get rid of some of the
other functions to make things more consistent and efficient?

Depends what you mean with "anything like that". The API is inspired by
the iio API and a little by the thermal API. The details are probably
unique, though.

Parameter are all different
	umode_t (*is_visible)(const void *drvdata, enum hwmon_sensor_types type,
	                              u32 attr, int channel);
vs.
	umode_t (*is_visible)(struct kobject *, struct attribute *, int);

Those are meant to be for attributes which apply to the entire chip.
Not sure if 'hwmon_unique' would reflect that better.
From the documentation:
	"A virtual sensor type, used to describe attributes
	 which apply to the entire chip"

Do you have an idea for a better description ?

Correct.

No problem with that.

The underlying code is all the same; hwmon_device_register_with_groups()
also calls __hwmon_device_register(). I would prefer to keep the code as
common as possible.

Would be nice, but then someone would have to spend the time cleaning
up the old drivers to replace the old API, and for the most part we would
not be able to test the result. Are you sure that is worth the risk ?

I meant the idea of describing the device capabilities and letting the
core code generate the device attributes (or anything else) based on
that data. The benefits are obvious, but it has a complexity and
run-time cost so I am wondering how popular this approach is.

You mean at the binary level?

Have you considered the case where several devices exist for the same
driver? Static attributes are shared between devices, but with the
generated ones this is no longer the case, right?

But this is the consequence of how you implemented it, not the reason?

Now I seem to understand that delegating the check to the driver core
would make it happen later, which means you would have to instantiate
all attributes, even if some are never going to be used? So this is an
optimization?

But this prevents sharing the attributes between devices, as pointed
out above. Well, I guess you can't have it all. I don't know what is
the more important.

Not really. As you implemented it, it is meant for attributes which are
not specific to an input or output in particular. That is, attributes
which do not include a channel number. "update_interval" and
"alarms" (which I'd like to get rid of, btw) apply to the entire chip,
but "temp_reset_history" does not.

For one thing I would rename hwmon_chip_attr_templates to
hwmon_chip_attrs (or whatever, without _templates.) They are used
directly, as opposed to all other hwmon_*_attr_templates strings which
must be generated as needed.

This is the reason why the term "unique" came to my mind: the absence
of %d in the name makes this array special. If we can't find a name
that expresses that, I think a comment should be added to explain it.

As for the description in the documentation, what about:

	"A virtual sensor type, used to describe attributes
	which are not bound to a specific input or output"

"input or output" could be shortened as "channel" but I think spelling
it out is more explicit.

FTR I took a quick look at the iio code and there seems to be something
like the idea above implemented in iio_device_register_sysfs(). But
attributes themselves as instantiated by iio_device_register_sysfs()
are still allocated individually. But hey I'm not familiar with the iio
code anyway, I'm sure you know it better than I do.

OK, that makes sense. Maybe it can be revisited when/if we manage to
remove some of the old registration methods.

What I had in mind was rather along the lines of marking the function
as __deprecated, adding a run-time notice message when it is called,
and let whoever uses these driver contribute the fix. Call me an
optimistic :-) There are 54 drivers still using
hwmon_device_register(), out of 157.

The goal of this patch series was to provide abstraction between driver
and userspace ABI. I think this is quite common in the kernel.

I am not sure I undersatand the run-time cost concern. The main run-time
cost occurs during device instantiation and only happens once. Other
abstraction APIs in the kernel have a much higher runtime cost, and
instantiation tends to be quite costly as well.

The new API has the addd benefit of reducing driver size, in some cases
significantly. Maybe I am off, but I considered this important, which is
why I mentioned it. Maybe I should not have mentioned it at all, and
instead have focused on abstraction alone.

As mentioned above, I considered static sizes to be more important.
Sure, there are situations where multiple instances of a driver are
loaded, but those are not typically memory size limited. But, again,
I guess maybe I should not have mentioned driver size impact at all.

Not really. The drivers are now abstracted from the ABI and don't know anything
about it. Effectively I would need a shim is_visible function to convert the
sysfs parameters into driver function parameters. That should still be possible,
I just don't immediately see the benefits.

Not for that purpose. I didn't even get to that point because I did not see
a value in the shim function mentioned above.

For most of those testing was not possible, otherwise I would have converted
them by now.

I am not sure about deprecated; doesn't that mean a failure to compile with
-Werror ? That would not help much.

Yes, you are right. I am so used to the (wrong) way hwmon did that I
did not realize all other subsystems already provided some form of
abstraction for their device drivers. Even i2c does, so I should know.

I'm not too worried about this one, except for the memory allocations
as mentioned previously.

I am more concerned about the per-sysfs read overhead. Compared to the
old model, you have another indirection call for each access. And for
each driver, you end up with a single function to read from all
attributes. You will inevitably end up with a huge switch/case
statement to figure out what value to return. This smells like linear
search? Not sure if the compiler can optimize it. I was also wondering
how cache-friendly such a large function can be.

But anyway, I didn't measure anything, it's pure speculation on my
side. And it's probably irrelevant as your change has many benefits
anyway. And I wouldn't even ask myself the question if things had been
implemented right in the first place. So just ignore me ^^

You were very right mentioning it, I mention it every time a patch of
mine reduces binary size. That's one of the actual benefits of the
change, no reason to silent it.

I did not make any measurement, and I won't take the time to make them.
So I have no idea how the various costs compare to each other. Which in
turn means I don't have any point here, and we can go with what you
have ;-)

Really I was only commenting out loud while reviewing. Doesn't mean
much...

It causes gcc to generate a warning, so I guess it would indeed break
with -Werror. But this option isn't enabled by default, and I doubt
anyone can actually build a general-purpose kernel with that option
enabled. If it's a custom kernel then maybe there's one hwmon driver
enabled, and if that one needs conversion, then you've just found your
tester ;-)

If you are worried about build-time __deprecated, you can also just
spit a message in the logs when hwmon_device_register() is called.
Won't break anything and may get you some tester, or even someone to
convert the driver for you.

But then again, you are pretty much in charge of the hwmon subsystem by
now (and you are doing that very well, thank you very much) so I'm
really only making suggestions, which you are totally free to ignore if
they seem irrelevant to you.

Merging name allocation and hattr allocation turned out to be easy by adding
the name to struct hwmon_device_attribute. However, allocating an array of
struct hwmon_device_attribute for all attributes in one go is more difficult.
Main issue is that we _don't_ really know how many attributes are going to be
created; we only know the ceiling, which is calculated in __hwmon_create_attrs().
That number is currently used to allocate the array of attributes. The extra
pointers did not seem that important there (to me). However, allocating an
array of struct hwmon_device_attribute would result in memory being allocated
for non-existing attributes as well (ie those for which is_visible returns 0),
and that would at least potentially be much more. We can either accept that,
or I would have to implement a second pass over the attributes to determine
how many are actually implemented, or we could leave the per-attribute
allocation unchanged.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,
Guenter
