udev: Add builtin/rule to export evdev information as udev properties
This rule is only run on tablet/touchscreen devices, and extracts their size
in millimeters, as it can be found out through their struct input_absinfo.
The first usecase is exporting device size from tablets/touchscreens. This
may be useful to separate policy and application at the time of mapping
these devices to the available outputs in windowing environments that don't
offer that information as readily (eg. Wayland). This way the compositor can
stay deterministic, and the mix-and-match heuristics are performed outside.
Conceivably, size/resolution information can be changed through EVIOCSABS
anywhere else, but we're only interested in values prior to any calibration,
this rule is thus only run on "add", and no tracking of changes is performed.
This should only remain a problem if calibration were automatically applied
by an earlier udev rule (read: don't).
v2: Folded rationale into commit log, made a builtin, set properties
on device nodes themselves
v3: Use inline function instead of macro for mm. size calculation,
use DECIMAL_STR_MAX, other code style issues
v4: Made rule more selective
v5: Minor style issues, renamed to a more generic builtin, refined
rule further. |

udev: add network link configuration tool
This tool applies hardware specific settings to network devices before they
are announced via libudev.
Settings that will probably eventually be supported are MTU, Speed,
DuplexMode, WakeOnLan, MACAddress, MACAddressPolicy (e.g., 'hardware',
'synthetic' or 'random'), Name and NamePolicy (replacing our current
interface naming logic). This patch only introduces support for
Description, as a proof of concept.
Some of these settings may later be overriden by a network management
daemon/script. However, these tools should always listen and wait on libudev
before touching a device (listening on netlink is not enough). This is no
different from how things used to be, as we always supported changing the
network interface name from udev rules, which does not work if someone
has already started using it.
The tool is configured by .link files in /etc/net/links/ (with the usual
overriding logic in /run and /lib). The first (in lexicographical order)
matching .link file is applied to a given device, and all others are ignored.
The .link files contain a [Match] section with (currently) the keys
MACAddress, Driver, Type (see DEVTYPE in udevadm info) and Path (this
matches on the stable device path as exposed as ID_PATH, and not the
unstable DEVPATH). A .link file matches a given device if all of the
specified keys do. Currently the keys are treated as plain strings,
but some limited globbing may later be added to the keys where it
makes sense.
Example:
/etc/net/links/50-wireless.link
[Match]
MACAddress=98:f2:e4:42:c6:92
Path=pci-0000:02:00.0-bcma-0
Type=wlan
