The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of
unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading
to its breakage.
The previous patches fixed the crashing. This one reduces coupling further
by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method.
This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic,
and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the
ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it
(in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy).
Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles.
A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device
entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then
the deallocation ordering becomes simpler.
But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that
for later.

The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty
without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer.
Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low
(n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list
of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup,
so the timing isn't affected.)
It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel
PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not
something that affects users.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

This driver causes hard lockups, when the active clock soure is jiffies.
The reason is that it loops with interrupts disabled waiting for a
timestamp to be reached by polling getnstimeofday(). Though with a
jiffies clocksource, when that code runs on the same CPU which is
responsible for updating jiffies, then we loop in circles for ever
simply because the timer interrupt cannot update jiffies. So both UP
and SMP can be affected.
There is no easy fix for that problem so make it depend on BROKEN for
now.

Add parallel port PPS client. It uses a standard method for capturing
timestamps for assert edge transitions: getting a timestamp soon after an
interrupt has happened.
This is not a very precise source of time information due to interrupt
handling delays. However, timestamps for clear edge transitions are much
more precise because the interrupt handler continuously polls hardware
port until the transition is done.
Hardware port operations require only about 1us so the maximum error
should not exceed this value. This was my primary goal when developing
this client.
Clear edge capture could be disabled using clear_wait parameter.

This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond.
To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.
Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

There was a race in PPS_FETCH ioctl handler when several processes want to
obtain PPS data simultaneously using sleeping PPS_FETCH. They all sleep
most of the time in the system call.
With the old approach when the first process waiting on the pps queue is
waken up it makes new system call right away and zeroes pps->go. So other
processes continue to sleep. This is a clear race condition because of
the global 'go' variable.
With the new approach pps->last_ev holds some value increasing at each PPS
event. PPS_FETCH ioctl handler saves current value to the local variable
at the very beginning so it can safely check that there is a new event by
just comparing both variables.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using
special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS sources'
attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism.
This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy
client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.

PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings.
If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS
client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we
should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones.
Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS
event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time.

Userland programs may read/write PPS parameters at same time and these
operations may corrupt PPS data.
