With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices.
This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly.
Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name
stack - they are unique and can not conflict.

Starting from version 1.4, cups now uses libusb and printer USB devices instead
of the usblp generated /dev/usb/lpX ones. In order to not require the cups USB
backend to run as root now, change raw USB printer devices to be root:lp 0660,
similar to usblpX devices.
This might also enable the hplip backend to not run as root, since this has
always used raw device nodes.

The C version of path_id does not look at the environment anymore, so
there is no reason to empty it.

Thanks to Marco d'Itri<md@linux.it> for noticing.

Fix spelling in docbook comments, code comments, and a local variable
name. Thanks to "ispell -h" for docbook HTML and "scspell" for source
code.

Instead of using multiple recursive Makefile.am files, use a single
Makefile.am that sets and builds all the basic suite of libraries and
binaries for udev. This reduces the number of files in the source tree, and
also reduces drastically the build time when using parallel-make.
With this setup, all the compile steps will be executed in parallel, and
just the linking stage will be (partially) serialised on the libraries
creation.

It did not work for the last couple of releases.
If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark
the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with:
udevadm trigger --type=failed
The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be
ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed
dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that
something is used in a way it should not.

Exclude digitizers and similar devices from ID_CLASS joystick by
checking modalias for BTN_DIGI.
This was also done for linux kernel joydev interface in linux commit
d07a9cba6be5c0e947afc1014b5a62182a86f1f1.

The newer firewire-core driver exposes per-device character device files,
called /dev/fw[0-9]*, in contrast to the older raw1394, video1394, dv1394
drivers which created one global file or per-controller files.
This allows to set ownership, permissions, or/ and access control lists
for each device file based on device type markers obtained from sysfs.
The "units" attribute which is used for this purpose has become available
in Linux 2.6.31(-rc1) by commit 0210b66dd88a2a1e451901b00378a2068b6ccb35.
The added rules match identifiers of
- IIDC devices:
industrial cameras and some webcams,
- AV/C devices:
camcorders, set-top boxes, TV sets, audio devices, and similar
devices.

We need to call ata_id as the default for libata sd* devices. We
want ID_BUS=ata, and the ATA device proeprties, and be independent
of the SCSI emulation with the truncated values. The links
in /dev/disk/by-id/{ata-*,scsi-*} are still the same.
|
|
ID_SERIAL is the full serial number used for the links, ID_SERIAL_SHORT
is the device serial number.

Removed with this is SAS disk support which never really worked properly,
and legacy IDE disk support, which can be re-implemented if needed.

UDev follows the kernel given name, and re-uses the kernel created
device node. If the kernel and spcecified udev rules disagree, the
udev specified node node is created and the kernel-created on is
deleted.

I don't see any security implications, to be actually useful,
/dev/cpu/<n>/cpuid should be world readable. The cpuid instruction
can be called from userspace anyway, so there is nothing to hide.
The device does not support any write operation, so 0444 should
suffice.

Some broken mobile phones offer a faked cdrom drive with a media

Instead of of our own private monitor socket, we send the
processed event back to our netlink socket, to the multicast
group 2 -- so any number of users can listen to udev events,
just like they can listen to kernel emitted events on group 1.
