Previously all data passed over binder needed
to be serialized, with the exception of Binder
objects and file descriptors.
This patchs adds support for scatter-gathering raw
memory buffers into a binder transaction, avoiding
the need to first serialize them into a Parcel.
To remain backwards compatibile with existing
binder clients, it introduces two new command
ioctls for this purpose - BC_TRANSACTION_SG and
BC_REPLY_SG. These commands may only be used with
the new binder_transaction_data_sg structure,
which adds a field for the total size of the
buffers we are scatter-gathering.
Because memory buffers may contain pointers to
other buffers, we allow callers to specify
a parent buffer and an offset into it, to indicate
this is a location pointing to the buffer that
we are fixing up. The kernel will then take care
of fixing up the pointer to that buffer as well.

Add a new module parameter 'devices', that can be
used to specify the names of the binder device
nodes we want to populate in /dev.
Each device node has its own context manager, and
is therefore logically separated from all the other
device nodes.
The config option CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES can
be used to set the default value of the parameter.
This approach was favored over using IPC namespaces,
mostly because we require a single process to be a
part of multiple binder contexts, which seemed harder
to achieve with namespaces.

This patch fixes following issues in input device (keypad) handling:
- requesting IRQ before allocating and initializing parts of the device
that can be referenced from IRQ handler is racy, even if we try to
disable interrupt after requesting it. Let's move allocations around
so that everything is ready by the time we request IRQ.
- using threaded interrupt handler to schedule a work item it sub-optimal.
Disabling and then re-enabling interrupts in work item and in open/close
methods is prone to races and exactly the reason theraded interrupts were
introduced. Let's use the infrastructure properly and keep scanning the
matrix array in IRQ thread, stopping when there are no keys, or when told
to do so.

With TimeSync version 4 protocol support we started updating system time
continuously through the whole lifetime of Hyper-V guests. Every 5 seconds
there is a time sample from the host which triggers do_settimeofday[64]().
While the time from the host is very accurate such adjustments may cause
issues:
- Time is jumping forward and backward, some applications may misbehave.
- In case an NTP server runs in parallel and uses something else for time
sync (network, PTP,...) system time will never converge.
- Systemd starts annoying you by printing "Time has been changed" every 5
seconds to the system log.
Instead of doing in-kernel time adjustments offload the work to an
NTP client by exposing TimeSync messages as a PTP device. Users may now
decide what they want to use as a source.
I tested the solution with chrony, the config was:
refclock PHC /dev/ptp0 poll 3 dpoll -2 offset 0
The result I'm seeing is accurate enough, the time delta between the guest
and the host is almost always within [-10us, +10us], the in-kernel solution
was giving us comparable results.
I also tried implementing PPS device instead of PTP by using not currently
used Hyper-V synthetic timers (we use only one of four for clockevent) but
with PPS source only chrony wasn't able to give me the required accuracy,
the delta often more that 100us.

Currently the periodic scan timer is used for three purposes,
entangling keypad and display handling, which are both optional:
1. Scanning the keypad,
2. Flashing the backlight when a key is pressed,
3. Disabling temporary backlighting after a fixed period of time.
Abstract the second purpose using a new lcd_poke() function.
Make the non-periodic temporary backlight handling independent from
keypad handling by converting it to a delayed workqueue.
