8b92e87d39 vt: add an event interface
This is needed and requested in various forms for ConsoleKit, screenblank
handling and the like so do the job with a single interface. Also build the
interface so that unlike VT_WAITACTIVE and friends it won't miss events.

FIXME: Should this be a waitactive ioctl or a new device file you can poll
and read events from. We need the code anyway to fix up the existing broken
wait for console switch logic but the ConsoleKit people would prefer the
new device to the ioctl we have here

d2b391822a tty: USB hangup is racy
The USB layer uses tty_hangup to deal with unplugs of the physical hardware
(analogous to loss of carrier) and then frees the resources. However the
tty_hangup is asynchronous. As the hangup can sleep we can use tty_vhangup
which is the non async version to avoid freeing resources too early.

24d481ecae 8250: Now honours baud rate lower bounds
A platform clock drives 8250 ports in most SOC systems, the clock
might run at high frequencies, and so it's not always possible to
downscale uart clock to a desired value.

Currently the 8250 uart driver accepts not supported baud rates, and
what is worse, it is doing this silently, and then passes not accepted
values to a new termios, so userspace has no chance to catch this kind
of errors (userspace verifies that settings were accepted by reading
back and comparing the settings).

This patch fixes the issue by passing minimum baud rate to the
uart_get_baud_rate() call, the call should take care of all bounds,
so userspace should now report:

  # stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed 300
  115200
  stty: /dev/ttyS0: unable to perform all requested operations

p.s. uart_get_baud_rate() falls back to 9600, which still might be too
     low for some 10 GHz platforms, but that's a separate issue, and
     we can wait with fixing this till we find such a platform.

serial IRQs with triggering requirements (such as GPIO IRQs)

This patch adds irqflags to plat_serial8250_port that can be passed

Changes are backward compatible with boards passing UPF_SHARE_IRQ flag

d13549f804 cyclades: add tty refcounting
While this is not problem for Y card handlers (they are protected
by card_lock), Z handlers and other functions may dereference NULL
at any point after hangup/close. Even if (tty == NULL) was already
performed in the handler.

Note that it's not an issue for Y cards just for now. After
switching to tty_port_close_* et al. this will be a problem. So
add refcounting to them all.

Also proc .show doesn't take a tty reference and it should (along
with a ldisc one).

While at it and changing prototypes (adding tty param), prepend
cy_ to functions which don't have it yet.

182274f85f tty-ldisc: get rid of tty_ldisc_try_get() helper function
Now that the /proc/tty/ldiscs handling doesn't play games with 'struct
ldisc' any more, the only remaining user of 'tty_ldisc_try_get()' is
'tty_ldisc_get()' (note the lack of 'try').

And we're actually much better off folding the logic directly into that
file, since the 'try' part was always about trying to get the ldisc
operations, not the ldisc itself: and making that explicit inside of
'tty_ldisc_get()' clarifies the whole semantics.

f0de0e8d35 tty-ldisc: make /proc/tty/ldiscs use ldisc_ops instead of ldiscs
The /proc/tty/ldiscs file is totally and utterly un-interested in the
"struct tty_ldisc" structures, and only cares about the underlying ldisc
operations.

So don't make it create a dummy 'struct ldisc' only to get a pointer to
the operations, and then destroy it.  Instead, we split up the function
'tty_ldisc_try_get()', and create a 'get_ldops()' helper that just looks
up the ldisc operations based on the ldisc number.

That makes the code simpler to read (smaller and more well-defined
helper functions), and allows the /proc functions to avoid creating that
useless dummy only to immediately free it again.

cdf8073d6b perf_counter: Fix perf_copy_attr() pointer arithmetic
There is still some weird code in per_copy_attr(). Which supposedly
checks that all bytes trailing a struct are zero.

It doesn't seem to get pointer arithmetic right. Since it
increments an iterating pointer by sizeof(unsigned long) rather
than 1.
