[PATCH 00/32] Add parents to struct pmu -> dev

From: Jonathan Cameron
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 09:42:26 EST


These are the low hanging fruit following GregKH's feedback that
all the devices registered via perf_pmu_register() should have parents.

Note that this causes potential ABI breakage.

It may fall in the category of it isn't breakage if no one notices
but I can't be certain of that. Whilst it is arguable that
no one should be been accessing PMUs except via the event_source
bus, there was documentation suggesting /sys/devices/ for particular
PMUs (because it was a shorter path?)

The first patch is pulled out of the series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20230327170247.6968-1-Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx/
[PATCH v3 0/5] CXL 3.0 Performance Monitoring Unit support

In that particular case it is very useful to be able to figure out which
CXL device the PMU device is associated with and looking at it's parents
in the device model as shown with ls -lh /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/
is a very easy way to do this (once it is correctly parented).

Addressing all the other instances of struct pmu not covered by this series
is likely to be a more complex discussion but unlikely to have an affect
on what is proposed here.

Documentation updates deliberately 'fixed' in separate patches before
changing the path to highlight that using /sys/bus/event_source/devices
path is unchanged by this series and that is presumed to be the
most common way these files are accessed.
