configuration is removed for all Samsung platforms since such default
controller configuration can be handled by the driver.

ALSA: hda - Allow patching with any vendor/subsystem ids
In the ugly real world, there area really broken devices that don't set
codec SSID correctly. In such a case, the ID can be random, thus the
patching won't work reliably.
For applying the patch forcibly to such a device, the driver will skip
the vendor and/or subsystem ID checks when zero or a negative number is
given in [codec] section.
Added a new option "snoop" for the traffic control of the HD-audio
controller chip. When set to 0, the non-snooping mode is used with
the traffic control bit is set in each stream control register.
This may allow better operations in the low power mode, but the actual
implementation is depending pretty much on the chipset.
As already implemented, more or less each chipset has own snoop-control
register bit. Now this setup refers to the snoop option, too.
Also, a new VIA chipset may require the non-snooping mode when set so
in BIOS. In such a case, the option value is overridden.
As default, it's still set to snoop=1 for keeping the same behavior as
before. In near future, it'll be set to 0 as default after checking
it works in every system well.

candev: allow SJW user setting for bittiming calculation
This patch adds support for SJW user settings to not set the synchronization
jump width (SJW) to 1 in any case when using the in-kernel bittiming
calculation.
The ip-tool from iproute2 already supports to pass the user defined SJW
value. The given SJW value is sanitized with the controller specific sjw_max
and the calculated tseg2 value. As the SJW can have values up to 4 providing
this value will lead to the maximum possible SJW automatically. A higher SJW
allows higher controller oscillator tolerances.

connector: add comm change event report to proc connector
Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks. Such an event
becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in
different manner.
A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully
application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime.
Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain
monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon
listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place
specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions.
It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without
this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator
task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc
connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value
from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the
matter.

af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default
Since commit 7361c36c5224 (af_unix: Allow credentials to work across
user and pid namespaces) af_unix performance dropped a lot.
This is because we now take a reference on pid and cred in each write(),
and release them in read(), usually done from another process,
eventually from another cpu. This triggers false sharing.
This patch includes SCM_CREDENTIALS information in a af_unix message/skb
only if requested by the sender, [man 7 unix for details how to include
ancillary data using sendmsg() system call]
Note: This might break buggy applications that expected SCM_CREDENTIAL
from an unaware write() system call, and receiver not using SO_PASSCRED
socket option.
If SOCK_PASSCRED is set on source or destination socket, we still
include credentials for mere write() syscalls.

bootup: move 'usermodehelper_enable()' to the end of do_basic_setup()
Doing it just before starting to call into cpu_idle() made a sick kind
of sense only because the original bug we fixed (see commit 288d5abec831: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled") was about problems
with some scheduler data structures not being initialized, and they had
better be initialized at that point.
But it really didn't make any other conceptual sense, and doing it after
the initial "schedule()" call for the idle thread actually opened up a
race: what if the main initialization thread did everything without
needing to sleep, and got all the way into user land too? Without
actually having scheduled back to the idle thread?
Now, in normal circumstances that doesn't ever happen, but it looks like
Richard Cochran triggered exactly that on his ARM IXP4xx machines:
"I have some ARM IXP4xx based machines that use the two on chip MAC
ports (aka NPEs). The NPE needs a firmware in order to function.
Ever since the following commit [that 288d5abec831 one], it is no
longer possible to bring up the interfaces during the init scripts."
with a call trace showing an ioctl coming from user space. Richard says:
"The init is busybox, and the startup script does mount, syslogd, and
then ifup, so that all can go by quickly."
The fix is to move the usermodehelper_enable() into the main 'init'
thread, and just put it after we've done all our initcalls. By then,
everything really should be up, but we've obviously not actually started
the user-mode portion of init yet.
