Revert "vmgenid: emit uevent when VMGENID updates"

2024-04-18T12:47:23+00:00

This reverts commit ad6bcdad2b6724e113f191a12f859a9e8456b26d. I had
nak'd it, and Greg said on the thread that it links that he wasn't going
to take it either, especially since it's not his code or his tree, but
then, seemingly accidentally, it got pushed up some months later, in
what looks like a mistake, with no further discussion in the linked
thread. So revert it, since it's clearly not intended.

virt: efi_secret: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2024-03-09T10:37:18+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

For other functions, just change the comment to a common C comment.

vmgenid: emit uevent when VMGENID updates

2023-11-30T10:52:00+00:00

We receive an ACPI notification every time the VM Generation ID changes
and use the new ID as fresh randomness added to the entropy pool. This
commits emits a uevent every time we receive the ACPI notification, as a
means to notify the user space that it now is in a new VM.

eventfd: simplify eventfd_signal()

2023-11-28T13:08:38+00:00

Ever since the eventfd type was introduced back in 2007 in commit
e1ad7468c77d ("signal/timer/event: eventfd core") the eventfd_signal()
function only ever passed 1 as a value for @n. There's no point in
keeping that additional argument.
