9a45048408 lp: support 64-bit time_t user space
Once we get a glibc with 64-bit time_t, the LPSETTIMEOUT ioctl stops
working, since the command number and data structure no longer match.

To work around that, this introduces a new command number LPSETTIMEOUT_NEW
that is used whenever the modified user space evaluates the LPSETTIMEOUT
macro.

The trick we use is a bit convoluted but necessary: we cannot check for
any macros set by the C library in linux/lp.h, because this particular
header can be included before including sys/time.h. However, we can assume
that by the time that LPSETTIMEOUT is seen in the code, the definition
for 'timeval' and 'time_t' has been seen as well, so we can use the
sizeof() operator to determine whether we should use the old or the
new definition. We use the old one not only for traditional 32-bit user
space with 32-bit time_t, but also for all 64-bit architectures and x32,
which always use a 64-bit time_t, the new definition will be used only for
32-bit user space with 64-bit time_t, which also requires a newer kernel.

The compat_ioctl() handler now implements both commands, but has to
use a special case for existing x32 binaries. The native ioctl handler
now implements both command numbers on both 32-bit and 64-bit, though
the latter version use the same interpretation for both.

This is based on an earlier patch from Bamvor.

3e21f4af17 char: lp: fix possible integer overflow in lp_setup()
The lp_setup() code doesn't apply any bounds checking when passing
"lp=none", and only in this case, resulting in an overflow of the
parport_nr[] array. All versions in Git history are affected.

221ba15173 Char: lp, protect LPGETSTATUS with port_mutex
The patch fixes a problem in the lp driver that can cause oopses as
follows:
process A:	calls lp_write, which in turn calls
		parport_ieee1284_write_compat, and that invokes
		parport_wait_peripheral
process B:	meanwhile does an ioctl(LPGETSTATUS), which call
		lp_release_parport when done. This function will set
		physport->cad = NULL.
process A:	parport_wait_peripheral tries to dereference
		physport->cad and dies

So, protect that code with the port_mutex in order to protect against
simultaneous calls to lp_read/lp_write.

Similar protection is probably required for ioctl(LPRESET)...

This patch was done by IBM a while back and we (at suse) have that
since at least 2004 in our repos. Let's make it upstream.

6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

613655fa39 drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

These drivers do not seem to be under active
maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies
to those maintainers that I have missed.

	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

d09d7ddf30 [PATCH] There is no devfs, there has never been a devfs, we have always been at war with...
Jon Smirl noted a couple of tty driver functions now are quite misleadingly
named with the death of devfs.  A quick grep found another case in the lp
driver.

62322d2554 [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
