EDAC: Fix reference count leaks

When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error, it should be handled
because kobject_init_and_add() takes a reference even when it fails. If
this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly
clean up the memory associated with the object.

Therefore, replace calling kfree() and call kobject_put() and add a
missing kobject_put() in the edac_device_register_sysfs_main_kobj()
error path.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce

* potentially better optimized code as the compiler

drivers/edac: pci: broken parity regression

Using the EDAC code in kernel.org kernel version 2.6.23.8 I am seeing the
following problem:

In the kernel there is a pci device attribute located in

drivers/edac: pci: broken parity regression

Using the EDAC code in kernel.org kernel version 2.6.23.8 I am seeing the
following problem:

In the kernel there is a pci device attribute located in sysfs that is
checked by the EDAC PCI scanning code. If that attribute is set,
PCI parity/error scannining is skipped for that device. The attribute
is:

broken_parity_status

as is located in /sys/devices/pci<XXX>/0000:XX:YY.Z directorys for
PCI devices.

I don't think this check was actually implemented. I have a misbehaved card
that reports a parity error every 1000 ms:

Nov 25 07:28:43 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:44 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:45 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0

Setting that card's broken_parity_status bit did not mask the error:

echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:01.0/broken_parity_status

I looked through the EDAC code and did not readily see any reference to
broken_parity_status at all (which makes sense based on the behavior I am
seeing). I applied the following patch as a proof-of-concept and now EDAC's
PCI parity error reporting behaves as documented:

bryan

Good regression find, bryan. It used to work. sigh.
I added more logic to your patch, for more coverage of the error.

Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
