- Remove the uaccess tag from /dev/dri/renderD*.
- Change the owning group from video to render.
- Change default mode to 0666.
- Add an option to allow users to set the access mode for these devices at
compile time.
Using `kill()` with a signal of 0 is a slightly more documented idiom for
checking whether a process still exists. It is mentioned explicitly in
man pages. This avoids the need to comment the call as "misuse".
A comment is still necessary - in fact this idiom is even more confusing if
you don't know how it works. But it's easy enough to explain.
The GP-electronic T701 has its LCD panel mounted upside-down, initially
my plan was to fix this by transparently rotating the image in the i915
driver (my "drm/i915: Deal with upside-down mounted LCD" patch), but
that approach has been rejected instead the kernel will now export
a "panel orientation" property on the drm-connector for the panel and
let userspace deal with it.
Since the upside-down-ness of the panel is now no longer transparently
hidden from userspace, the current accel mount quirk for the T701 needs
to be updated to take the upside-down-ness into account.
Freescale IMX SoCs serial ports driven by kernel "imx-uart" driver have
names of "ttymxcN", let's add this pattern to an udev rule for serial
ports so they will have proper ownership applied.
The input_id builtin assigns the various ID_INPUT based on the exported evdev
bits. In some cases, the device may not have the properties required to label
a device as one specific type but the physical form factor is clear.
e.g. in the case of #7197 it's a tablet pad that does not have x/y axes which
the kernel exports for pads for historical reasons.
A custom override is needed, best to be solved with a hwdb entry.

It's weird to visit the first "see also", and find that it is what the manpage replaces (and looks very similar). Surely we should remove this link.
This option allows restricting the shown fields in the output modes that
would normally show all fields. It allows clients that are only
interested in a subset of the fields to access those more efficiently.
Also, it makes the resulting size of the output more predictable.
It has no effect on the various `short` output modes, because those
already only show a subset of the fields.
This augments %t which already resolves to the runtime directory root, and
should be useful for units that want to pass any of these paths in
command line arguments.
Example:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mydaemon --datadir=%S/mydaemon
Why not expose a specifier resolving directly to the configured
state/runtime/cache/log dir? Three reasons:
1. Specifiers should be independent of configuration of the unit itself,
and StateDirectory= and friends are unit configuration. See
03fc9c723c and related work.
2. We permit multiple StateDirectory= values per unit, and it hence
wouldn't be clear which one is passed.
3. We already have %t for the runtime directory root, and we should
continue with the same scheme.
