The KIOCSOUND and KDMKTONE ioctls are based on the CLOCK_TICK_RATE,
which is architecture and sometimes configuration specific.
In practice, most user applications assume that it is actually defined
as the i8253 PIT base clock of 1193182 Hz, which is true on some
architectures but not on others.
This patch makes the vt code use the PIT frequency on all
architectures, which is much more well-defined. It will change the
behavior of user applications sending the beep ioctl on all
architectures that define CLOCK_TICK_RATE different from
PIT_TICK_RATE.
The original breakage was introduced in commit bcc8ca099 "Adapt
drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c to non-x86". Hopefully, reverting this change
will make the frequency correct in more cases than it will make it
incorrect.

Fix kconfig dependency warning for PC8736x_GPIO by restricting it to
X86_32.
warning: (SCx200_GPIO && SCx200 || PC8736x_GPIO && X86) selects NSC_GPIO which has unmet direct dependencies (X86_32)
NSC_GPIO is X86_32 only. The other driver (SCx200_GPIO) that selects
NSC_GPIO is X86_32 only (indirectly, since SCx200 depends on X86_32), so
limit this driver also.

There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a
lot of overhead. So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which
is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++.
This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way.
There are a lot of benefits:
- Compile time handling of the different fifo types
- Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate
9 assembly instructions on a x86)
- Type save
- Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone
- Easier to use
- Less error prone
- Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or
any other type. See below for an example.
- Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos
- No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO
The API was not changed.
There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the
structure. The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space. Dynamic
assigned or allocated create a little bit more code.
Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a
function call. Only the really small one generates inline code.
Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the
"unsigned char" byte streamed fifos.
There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single
element in a fifo. This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit
larger but faster.
I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to
maintain. But i have all tested and it works as expected. I analyzed the
output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written
assembler code. For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the
same as with the current kfifo implementation. For all other types of
fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use.
The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy
to use. So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what
a developer needs. This will save in the future a lot of kernel space,
since there is no need to write an own implementation. Most of the device
driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain
benefit from this API.
Here are the results of the text section usage:
Example 1:
kfifo_put/_get kfifo_in/out current kfifo
dynamic allocated 0x000002a8 0x00000291 0x00000299
in place 0x00000291 0x0000026e 0x00000273
kfifo.c new old
text section size 0x00000be5 0x000008b2
As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than
kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline).
The code is complete hand crafted and optimized. The text section size is
as small as possible. You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb. This
includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling.
This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented.
Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users. All functions
which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed. So, please adapt
your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post
it.
This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel:
kfifo_to_user()
kfifo_from_user()
kfifo_dma_....() macros
kfifo_esize()
kfifo_recsize()
kfifo_put()
kfifo_get()
The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the
variable size records fifo's
This patch:
User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access
the fifo structure. Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.

This is one of the most interesting users of module parameters in the
tree, so weaning it off the old-style non-const module_param_call
scheme is a useful exercise.
I was confused by set_param_int/get_param_int (vs. the normal
param_set_int and param_get_int), so I renamed set_param_int to
set_param_timeout, and re-used param_get_int directly instead of
get_param_int. I also implemented param_check_wdog_ifnum and
param_check_timeout, so now the ifnum_to_use and timeout/pretimeout
parameters can just use plain module_param().

When the console has been redirected, a hangup of the tty
will cause tty_release to be called under the big tty_mutex,
which leads to a deadlock because hangup is also called
under the BTM.
This moves the BTM deeper into the tty_hangup function so
we can close the redirected tty without holding the BTM.
In case of pty, we now need to drop the BTM before
calling tty_vhangup.

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.

Some wait_until_sent versions require the big
tty mutex, others don't and some callers of
wait_until_sent already hold it while other don't.
That leads to recursive use of the BTM in these
functions, which we're trying to get rid of.
This turns all cleans up the locking there so
that the driver's wait_until_sent function
never takes the BTM itself if it is already
called with that lock held.

We need to release the BTM in paste_selection() when
sleeping in tty_ldisc_ref_wait to avoid deadlocks
with tty_ldisc_enable.
In tty_set_ldisc, we now always grab the BTM before
taking the ldisc_mutex in order to avoid AB-BA
deadlocks between the two.
tty_ldisc_halt potentially blocks on a workqueue
function that takes the BTM, so we must release
the BTM before calling it.

We give up the BTM before calling tty_release() in the

Similarly, we reorder the locking in ptmx_open()
