Linux kernel source tree
eb2e6c3a8d
To make it possible to put struct bin_attribute into read-only memory, the sysfs core has to stop passing mutable pointers to the read() and write() callbacks. As there are numerous implementors of these callbacks throughout the tree it's not possible to change all of them at once. To enable a step-by-step transition, add new variants of the read() and write() callbacks which differ only in the constness of the struct bin_attribute argument. As most binary attributes are defined through macros, extend these macros to transparently handle both variants of callbacks to minimize the churn during the transition. As soon as all handlers are switch to the const variant, the non-const one can be removed together with the transition machinery.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
