Why?:
There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs
attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the
device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.
What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
seems counter productive.
2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
environment like an initramfs.
3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

This patch (as1109b) makes USB-Persist more resilient to errors. With
the current code, if a normal resume fails, it's an unrecoverable
error. With the patch, if a normal resume fails (and if the device is
enabled for USB-Persist) then a reset-resume is tried.
This fixes the problem reported in Bugzilla #10977.

Split out CDC ACM parts of "gadget serial" to a "function driver".
Some key structural differences from the previous ACM support, shared
with with the generic serial function (next patch):
- As a function driver, it can be combined with other functions.
One gadget configuration could offer both serial and network
links, as an example.
- One serial port can be exposed in multiple configurations;
the /dev/ttyGS0 node could be exposed regardless of which
config the host selected.
- One configuration can expose multiple serial ports, such as
ttyGS0, ttyGS1, ttyGS2, and ttyGS3.
This code should be a lot easier to understand than the previous
all-in-one-big-file version of the driver.

Add <linux/usb/composite.h> interfaces for composite gadget drivers, and
basic implementation support behind it:
- struct usb_function ... groups one or more interfaces into a function
managed as one unit within a configuration, to which it's added by
usb_add_function().
- struct usb_configuration ... groups one or more such functions into
a configuration managed as one unit by a driver, to which it's added
by usb_add_config(). These operate at either high or full/low speeds
and at a given bMaxPower.
- struct usb_composite_driver ... groups one or more such configurations
into a gadget driver, which may be registered or unregistered.
- struct usb_composite_dev ... a usb_composite_driver manages this; it
wraps the usb_gadget exposed by the controller driver.
This also includes some basic kerneldoc.
How to use it (the short version): provide a usb_composite_driver with a
bind() that calls usb_add_config() for each of the needed configurations.
The configurations in turn have bind() calls, which will usb_add_function()
for each function required. Each function's bind() allocates resources
needed to perform its tasks, like endpoints; sometimes configurations will
allocate resources too.
Separate patches will convert most gadget drivers to this infrastructure.

Teach "gadget serial" to use the new abstracted (and bugfixed) TTY glue,
and remove all the orignal tangled-up code. Update the documentation
accordingly. This is a net object code shrink and cleanup; it should
make it a lot easier to see how the TTY glue should accomodate updates
to the TTY layer, be bugfixed, etc.
Notable behavior changes include: it can now support getty even when
there's no USB connection; it fits properly into the mdev/udev world;
and RX handling is better (throttling works, and low latency).
Configurations with scripts setting up the /dev/ttygserial device node
(with "experimental" major number) may want to change that to be a
symlink pointing to the /dev/ttyGS0 file, as a migration aid; else,
just switch entirely over to mdev/udev.

Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.
This patch:
- reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
- makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
- makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
- makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
- extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
- renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
- enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
- set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
- removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.
If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

- don't adjust mddev->size to fit, rather reject changes which make
rdev->size smaller than mddev->size
Adjusting mddev->size is a hangover from bind_rdev_to_array which
does a similar thing. But it really is a better design to insist that
mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow
for that. The previous way invites confusion.

Revert "configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors."
Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very
confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They
also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running
after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data.
This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct,
along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit
buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to
syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer
is flushed.

The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because

Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the

bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for

"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.
When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.
This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.
