* kobject documentation: remove default_attrs informationGreg Kroah-Hartman2022-01-071-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type") we have been encouraging the use of default_groups instead of default_attrs, so reflect that information in the documentation as well so that no new users get added while the kernel is converted over to not use this field anymore.

* kobject: remove kset from struct kset_uevent_ops callbacksGreg Kroah-Hartman2021-12-281-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | There is no need to pass the pointer to the kset in the struct kset_uevent_ops callbacks as no one uses it, so just remove that pointer entirely. Reviewed-by: Rafael J.

* driver core: make kobj_type constant.Wedson Almeida Filho2021-12-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This way instances of kobj_type (which contain function pointers) can be stored in .rodata, which means that they cannot be [easily/accidentally] modified at runtime.

* kobject: documentation: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS onesAlexander A. Klimov2020-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
