This version corrects a stupid error pointed out by Serge.
This patch implements a new connector, Filesystem Event Connector,
the user can monitor filesystem activities via it, currently, it
can monitor access, attribute change, open, create, modify, delete,
move and close of any file or directory.
Every filesystem event will include tgid, uid and gid of the process
which triggered this event, process name, file or directory name
operated by it.
Filesystem events connector is never a duplicate of inotify, inotify
just concerns change on file or directory, Beagle uses it to watch
file changes in order to regenerate index for it, inotify can't tell
us who did that change and what is its process name, but filesystem
events connector can do these, moreover inotify's overhead is greater
than filesystem events connector, inotify needs compare inode with
watched file or directories list to decide whether it should generate an
inotify_event, some locks also increase overhead, filesystem event
connector hasn't these overhead, it just generates a fsevent and send.
To be important, filesystem event connector doesn't add any new system
call, the user space application can make use of it by netlink socket,
but inotify added several system calls, many events mechanism in kernel
have used netlink as communication way with user space, for example,
KOBJECT_UEVENT, PROC_EVENTS, to use netlink will make it more possible
to unify events interface to netlink, the user space application can use
it very easy.
