Subject: [PATCH] UPSTREAM: configfs: implement binary attributes

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.

Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.

Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.

This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.

+There are two types of configfs attributes:
+
+* Normal attributes, which similar to sysfs attributes, are small ASCII text
+files, with a maximum size of one page (PAGE_SIZE, 4096 on i386).  Preferably
+only one value per file should be used, and the same caveats from sysfs apply.
+Configfs expects write(2) to store the entire buffer at once.  When writing to
+normal configfs attributes, userspace processes should first read the entire
+file, modify the portions they wish to change, and then write the entire
+buffer back.
+
+* Binary attributes, which are somewhat similar to sysfs binary attributes,
+but with a few slight changes to semantics.  The PAGE_SIZE limitation does not
+apply, but the whole binary item must fit in single kernel vmalloc'ed buffer.
+The write(2) calls from user space are buffered, and the attributes'
+write_bin_attribute method will be invoked on the final close, therefore it is
+imperative for user-space to check the return code of close(2) in order to
+verify that the operation finished successfully.
+To avoid a malicious user OOMing the kernel, there's a per-binary attribute
+maximum buffer value.

The type should be struct configfs_bin_attribute and not struct
configfs_attribute.

Subject: [PATCH] FROMLIST: OF: DT-Overlay configfs interface (v7)

Add a runtime interface to using configfs for generic device tree overlay
usage. With it its possible to use device tree overlays without having
to use a per-platform overlay manager.

Please see Documentation/devicetree/configfs-overlays.txt for more info.

Changes since v6:
- Default groups properties API changed.

Changes since v5:
- New style configfs.

Changes since v4:
- Loading fix for multiple overlays as found out by
  Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

Changes since v3:
- Fixed compilation on SPARC & Xtensa

Changes since v2:
- Removed ifdef CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY (since for now it's required)
- Created a documentation entry
- Slight rewording in Kconfig

Changes since v1:
- of_resolve() -> of_resolve_phandles().

+Howto use the configfs overlay interface.
+
+A device-tree configfs entry is created in /config/device-tree/overlays
+and and it is manipulated using standard file system I/O.
+Note that this is a debug level interface, for use by developers and
+not necessarily something accessed by normal users due to the
+security implications of having direct access to the kernel's device tree.
+
+* To create an overlay you mkdir the directory:
+
+	# mkdir /config/device-tree/overlays/foo
+
+* Either you echo the overlay firmware file to the path property file.
+
+	# echo foo.dtbo >/config/device-tree/overlays/foo/path
+
+* Or you cat the contents of the overlay to the dtbo file
+
+	# cat foo.dtbo >/config/device-tree/overlays/foo/dtbo
+
+The overlay file will be applied, and devices will be created/destroyed
+as required.
+
+To remove it simply rmdir the directory.
+
+	# rmdir /config/device-tree/overlays/foo
+
+The rationalle of the dual interface (firmware & direct copy) is that each is
+better suited to different use patterns. The firmware interface is what's
+intended to be used by hardware managers in the kernel, while the copy interface
+make sense for developers (since it avoids problems with namespaces).
