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.

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

Note: This might break buggy applications that expected SCM_CREDENTIAL

If SOCK_PASSCRED is set on source or destination socket, we still
include credentials for mere write() syscalls.

Most boards with SysKonnect/Marvell Ethernet have only a single port.
For the single port case, use the standard Ethernet driver convention
of allocating IRQ when device is brought up rather than at probe time.
This patch also adds some additional read after writes to avoid any
PCI posting problems when setting the IRQ mask.
The error handling of dual port cards is also changed. If second port
can not be brought up, then just fail. No point in continuing, since
the failure is most certainly because of out of memory.
It is worth noting that the dual port skge device has a single irq but two
seperate status rings and therefore has two NAPI objects, one for
each port.

This patch touchs most of the enic port profile handling code.
Tried to break it into sub patches without success.
The patch mainly does the following:
- Port profile operations for a SRIOV VF are modified to work
only via its PF
- Changes the port profile static struct in struct enic to a pointer.
This is because a SRIOV PF has to now hold the port profile information
for all its VF's
- Moved address registration for VF's during port profile ASSOCIATE time
- Most changes in port profile handling code are changes related to indexing
into the port profile struct array of a PF for the VF port profile
information

While playing with a new ADSL box at home, I discovered that ECN
blackhole can trigger suboptimal quickack mode on linux : We send one
ACK for each incoming data frame, without any delay and eventual
piggyback.
This is because TCP_ECN_check_ce() considers that if no ECT is seen on a
segment, this is because this segment was a retransmit.
Refine this heuristic and apply it only if we seen ECT in a previous
segment, to detect ECN blackhole at IP level.

Most sky2 hardware only has a single port, although some variations of the
chip support two interfaces. For the single port case, use the standard
Ethernet driver convention of allocating IRQ when device is brought up
rather than at probe time.
Also, change the error handling of dual port cards so that if second
port can not be brought up, then just fail. No point in continuing, since
the failure is most certainly because of out of memory.
The dual port sky2 device has a single irq and a single status ring,
therefore it has a single NAPI object shared by both ports.

In function fec_enet_mii_init(), it uses non-zero pdev->id as part
of the condition to check the second fec instance (fec1). This works
before the driver supports device tree probe. But in case of device
tree probe, pdev->id is -1 which is also non-zero, so the logic becomes
broken when device tree probe gets supported.
The patch change the logic to check "pdev->id > 0" as the part of the
condition for identifying fec1.

FEC can work without a phy reset on some platforms, which means not
very platform necessarily have a phy-reset gpio encoded in device tree.
Even on the platforms that have the gpio, FEC can work without
resetting phy for some cases, e.g. boot loader has done that.
So it makes more sense to have the phy-reset-gpio request failure as
a debug message rather than a warning, and get fec_reset_phy() return
void since the caller does not check the return anyway.
