On my ACPI based arm64 server, if the SMMUv3 PMU is configured as module it won't be loaded automatically after booting even if the device has already been scanned and added. It's because the module lacks a platform alias, the uevent mechanism and userspace tools like udevd make use of this to find the target driver module of the device. This patch adds the missing platform alias of the module, then module will be loaded automatically if device exists. Before this patch: [root@localhost tmp]# modinfo arm_smmuv3_pmu | grep alias alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcgC* alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcg After this patch: [root@localhost tmp]# modinfo arm_smmuv3_pmu | grep alias alias: platform:arm-smmu-v3-pmcg alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcgC* alias: of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcg Signed-off-by: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230814131642.65263-1-yangyicong@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
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 Restructured Text 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.
