The configfs system is a source of access to the config information in the
configuration and feature lists.
This can result in additional LOCKDEP issues as a result of the mutex
ordering between the config list mutex (cscfg_mutex) and the configfs
system mutexes.
As such we need to adjust how load/unload operations work to ensure correct
operation.
1) Previously the cscfg_mutex was held throughout the load/unload
operation. This is now only held during configuration list manipulations,
resulting in a multi-stage load/unload process.
2) All operations that manipulate the configfs representation of the
configurations and features are now separated out and run without the
cscfg_mutex being held. This avoids circular lock_dep issue with the
built-in configfs mutexes and semaphores
3) As the load and unload is now multi-stage, some parts under the
cscfg_mutex and others not:
i) A flag indicating a load / unload operation in progress is used to
serialise load / unload operations.
ii) activating any configuration not possible when unload is in progress.
iii) Configurations have an "available" flag set only after the last load
stage for the configuration is complete. Activation of the configuration
not possible till flag is set.
4) Following load/unload rules remain:
i) Unload prevented while any configuration is active remains.
ii) Unload in strict reverse order of load.
iii) Existing configurations can be activated while a new load operation
is underway. (by definition there can be no dependencies between an
existing configuration and a new loading one due to ii) above.)

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(next-20220214$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)
@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@
struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};
UAPI and wireless changes were intentionally excluded from this patch
and will be sent out separately.

Expand the configuration API to allow dynamic runtime load and unload of
configurations and features.
On load, configurations and features are tagged with a "load owner" that
is used to determine sets that were loaded together in a given API call.
To unload the API uses the load owner to unload all elements previously
loaded by that owner.
The API also records the order in which different owners loaded
their elements into the system. Later loading configurations can use
previously loaded features, creating load dependencies. Therefore unload
is enforced strictly in the reverse order to load.
A load owner will be an additional loadable module, or a configuration
loaded via configfs.

Update the existing load API to introduce a "load owner" concept.
This allows the tracking of the loaded configurations and features against
the loading owner type, to allow later unload according to owner.
A list of loaded configurations by owner is created.
The load owner infrastructure will be used in following patches
to implement dynanic load and unload, alongside dependency tracking.

API for individual devices to register with the syscfg management
system is added.
Devices register with matching information, and any features or
configurations that match will be loaded into the device.
The feature and configuration loading is extended so that on load these
are loaded into any currently registered devices. This allows
configuration loading after devices have been registered.

Creates an system management API to allow complex configurations and
features to be programmed into a CoreSight infrastructure.
A feature is defined as a programming set for a device or class of
devices.
A configuration is a set of features across the system that are enabled
for a trace session.
The API will manage system wide configuration, and allow complex
programmed features to be added to individual device instances, and
provide for system wide configuration selection on trace capture
operations.
This patch creates the initial data object and the initial API for
loading configurations and features.
