In preparation for sharing the "loading" and "data" sysfs nodes with the
new firmware upload support, split out sysfs functionality from fallback.c
and fallback.h into sysfs.c and sysfs.h. This includes the firmware
class driver code that is associated with the sysfs files and the
fw_fallback_config support for the timeout sysfs node.
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_SYSFS is created and is selected by
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER in order to include sysfs.o in
firmware_class-objs.
This is mostly just a code reorganization. There are a few symbols that
change in scope, and these can be identified by looking at the header
file changes. A few white-space warnings from checkpatch are also
addressed in this patch.

Device drivers may decide to not load firmware when probed to avoid
slowing down the boot process should the firmware filesystem not be
available yet. In this case, the firmware loading request may be done
when a device file associated with the driver is first accessed. The
credentials of the userspace process accessing the device file may be
used to validate access to the firmware files requested by the driver.
Ensure that the kernel assumes the responsibility of reading the
firmware.
This was observed on Android for a graphic driver loading their firmware
when the device file (e.g. /dev/mali0) was first opened by userspace
(i.e. surfaceflinger). The security context of surfaceflinger was used
to validate the access to the firmware file (e.g.
/vendor/firmware/mali.bin).
Because previous configurations were relying on the userspace fallback
mechanism, the security context of the userspace daemon (i.e. ueventd)
was consistently used to read firmware files. More devices are found to
use the command line argument firmware_class.path which gives the kernel
the opportunity to read the firmware directly, hence surfacing this
misattribution.

Rename fw_sysfs_done() and fw_sysfs_loading() to fw_state_is_done() and
fw_state_is_loading() respectively, and place them along side companion
functions in drivers/base/firmware_loader/firmware.h.
Use the fw_state_is_done() function to exit early from
firmware_loading_store() if the state is already "done". This is being done
in preparation for supporting persistent sysfs nodes to allow userspace to
upload firmware to a device, potentially reusing the sysfs loading and data
files multiple times.

Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a
dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it.
However such assumption is not documented, there were in the past and
there are already users setting it to a string literal. This leads to
kfree() of static memory during device release (e.g. in error paths or
during unbind):

The 'perf bench epoll' testcase fails on systems with more than 1K CPUs.
Testcase: perf bench epoll all
Result snippet:
<<>>
Run summary [PID 106497]: 1399 threads monitoring on 64 file-descriptors for 8 secs.
perf: pthread_create: No such file or directory
<<>>
In epoll benchmarks (ctl, wait) pthread_create is invoked in do_threads
from respective bench_epoll_* function. Though the logs shows direct
failure from pthread_create, the actual failure is from
"sched_setaffinity" returning EINVAL (invalid argument).
This happens because the default mask size in glibc is 1024. To overcome
this 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t, change the mask size
using the CPU_*_S macros.
Patch addresses this by fixing all the epoll benchmarks to use CPU_ALLOC
to allocate cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size, and CPU_SET_S to set the
mask.

Commit Fixes: b9f6fbb3b2 ("perf arm64: Inject missing frames when
using 'perf record --call-graph=fp'") intended to add a 'best effort'
DWARF unwind that improved the frame pointer stack in most scenarios.
It's expected that the unwind will fail sometimes, but this shouldn't be
reported as an error. It only works when the return address can be
determined from the contents of the link register alone.
Fix the error shown when the unwinder requires extra registers by adding
a new flag that suppresses error messages. This flag is not set in the
normal --call-graph=dwarf unwind mode so that behavior is not changed.

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message when the
child process detected kernel does not support it. Instead, the child
process prints an error message to stderr, unfortunately stderr is
redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.
This patch does:
- return TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when
perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.
- Add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return
TEST_SKIP by doing this.
- Extend the test suite definition to contain above two subtests.
Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing skip
reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip reason, it
is necessary to extend current test suite definition.
