Commit 728674a7e466628df2aeec6d11a2ae1ef968fb67 moved virtio_console.c
to drivers/tty/hvc/ under the perception of this being an hvc driver.
It was such once, but these days it has generic communication
capabilities as well, so move it to drivers/char/.
In the future, the hvc part from this file can be split off and moved
under drivers/tty/hvc/.

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.

The newer drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c replaces drivers/misc/cs5535_gpio.c.
The new driver has been in the tree for a little while, and has received
some testing; it's time to mark the old one as deprecated. I'm thinking
removal around 2.6.40 would be good, provided we're not missing critical
functionality in the newer driver.

This driver adds a basic console that uses the arm JTAG
DCC to transfer data back and forth. It has support for
ARMv6 and ARMv7.
This console is created under the HVC driver, and should be named
/dev/hvcX (or /dev/hvc0 for example).

The tty locking now follows the rules for mutexes, so
we can replace the BKL usage with a new subsystem
wide mutex.
Using a regular mutex here will change the behaviour
when blocked on the BTM from spinning to sleeping,
but that should not be visible to the user.
Using the mutex also means that all the BTM is now
covered by lockdep.

Add an implementation of GSM 0710 MUX. The implementation currently supports
- Basic and advanced framing (as either end of the link)
- UI or UIH data frames
- Adaption layer 1-4 (1 and 2 via tty, 3 and 4 as skbuff lists)
- Modem and control messages including the correct retry process
- Flow control
and exposes the MUX channels as a set of virtual tty devices including modem
signals. This is an experimental driver.

This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides
terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV).
The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network
and allows access even if there is no network connection between two
z/VM guest virtual machines.
The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a
z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus,
provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions.
Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of
HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end.
A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a
terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level
udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working runtime console
in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind of a hack -
since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but
it's really useful during bringup.
This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while
you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the
hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown
tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will
later be replaced by something else.

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..
I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.
I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.
Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.

This includes code for new fifo-based xps_hwicap in addition to the
older opb_hwicap, which has a significantly different interface. The
common code between the two drivers is largely shared.
Significant differences exists between this driver and what is
supported in the EDK drivers. In particular, most of the
architecture-specific code for reconfiguring individual FPGA resources
has been removed. This functionality is likely better provided in a
user-space support library. In addition, read and write access is
supported. In addition, although the xps_hwicap cores support
interrupt-driver mode, this driver only supports polled operation, in
order to make the code simpler, and since the interrupt processing
overhead is likely to slow down the throughput under Linux.

Fix for the problem detected by Ingo Molnar:
enabling CONFIG_PCWATCHDOG=y crashes bzImage bootup.
The reason for this can be found in drivers/makefile
We first do:
obj-y += char/
and later we do:
obj-y += base/ block/ misc/ mfd/ net/ media/
So if we put a platform or isa or usb bus driver in char/watchdog
(which is called from the Makefile in drivers/char/Makefile)
then we didn't have the different device drivers initialized yet
(they are in drivers/base and drivers/usb and ...)
This fix makes sure that we compile the watchdog drivers after
drivers/base, drivers/misc, drivers/pci and drivers/usb.
We also do the compile after hwmon because in the future the
watchdog temperature support will use the hwmon system.

Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.
Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still
work).
TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.
Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).
Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY.
See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.
