Arnd Bergmann 8bbe6b6f00 char/genrtc: remove parisc support
This architecture selects RTC_CLASS unconditionally, so the GEN_RTC
has not worked here for a long time.

Now we can remove both the asm/rtc.h header and the Kconfig dependency
for CONFIG_GEN_RTC.

Arnd Bergmann 7ee942179f char/genrtc: remove mn10300 support
The genrtc driver serves no purpose on mn10300 because it drives the
same hardware as the original rtc.c driver, and the newer rtc-generic.c
or rtc-cmos.c drivers on architectures that use the asm-generic/rtc.h
header.

I assume it was initially only added for completeness when the
mn10300 port was done, but the older rtc.c driver was always used
instead.

We can also stop include asm-generic/rtc.h now, because we
just call mc146818_set_time() directly.

It would be nice to change the architecture to use the rtc-cmos driver
next, and remove support for the old rtc driver as well.

Arnd Bergmann 1cb1e35327 char/genrtc: remove alpha support
The genrtc driver serves no purpose on Alpha because it drives the
same hardware as the original rtc.c driver, and the newer rtc-generic.c
or rtc-cmos.c drivers on architectures that use the asm-generic/rtc.h
header.

The defconfig uses CONFIG_RTC=y, so this driver is not used by default.
At one point it was used to abstract a quirk for the "Marvel" platform,
but it does not do this any more after the code was moved into yet
another driver in arch/alpha/kernel/rtc.c.

Arnd Bergmann 463a86304c char/genrtc: x86: remove remnants of asm/rtc.h
Commit 3195ef59cb ("x86: Do full rtc synchronization with ntp") had
the side-effect of unconditionally enabling the RTC_LIB symbol on x86,
which in turn disables the selection of the CONFIG_RTC and
CONFIG_GEN_RTC drivers that contain a two older implementations of
the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS driver.

This removes x86 from the list for genrtc, and changes all references
to the asm/rtc.h header to instead point to the interfaces
from linux/mc146818rtc.h.

Geert Uytterhoeven 309124e264 char: Drop bogus dependency of DEVPORT on !M68K
According to full-history-linux commit d3794f4fa7c3edc3 ("[PATCH] M68k
update (part 25)"), port operations are allowed on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is
defined.

However, commit 153dcc54df ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional
on isa i/o support") accidentally changed an "||" into an "&&",
disabling it completely on m68k. This logic was retained when
introducing the DEVPORT symbol in commit 4f911d64e0 ("Make
/dev/port conditional on config symbol").

Drop the bogus dependency on !M68K to fix this.

Arnd Bergmann 2fad622483 char/rtc: replace blacklist with whitelist
Every new architecture has to add itself to the growing list of those
that do not support the legacy PC RTC driver.

This replaces the long list of architectures that don't support it
with a shorter list of those that do.

The list is taken from those architectures that have a non-empty
asm/mc146818rtc.h header file and were not explicitly blacklisted
or select RTC_LIB.

Alpha and Loongson64 can already choose between this driver and
an rtc-class based one. mn10300 is actually the only architecture
now that still requires this driver, and that should be fairly
easy to change to use rtc-cmos if we want to kill off rtc.ko
for good.

The Kconfig symbol MAX_RAW_DEVS is meant to be between 1 and 65536. But
those boundaries are not enforced by its Kconfig entry.

Note that MAX_RAW_DEVS is used to set MAX_RAW_MINORS in
drivers/char/raw.c. If one would accidentally set MAX_RAW_DEVS to an
invalid value, that invalid value will actually end up being used in
raw_init().

So add an appropriate range to this Kconfig entry.

Prarit Bhargava 3d035f5806 drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processes
The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET
registers to userspace.  The Kconfig help points out that in some cases
this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the
map such that additional data is exposed to userspace.

This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP
functionality but it comes with a significant security risk.  In an effort
to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP
functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that
is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

Joe Millenbach 4f73bc4dd3 tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY
The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

Anton Vorontsov 1894a253db ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.c
Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character
devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore.

The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed
because of the move:

1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course.

2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this
   is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver
   (i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still
   work).

Kees Cook 9ba80d99c8 ramoops: use pstore interface
Instead of using /dev/mem directly and forcing userspace to know (or
extract) where the platform has defined persistent memory, how many slots
it has, the sizes, etc, use the common pstore infrastructure to handle
Oops gathering and extraction.  This presents a much easier to use
filesystem-based view to the memory region.  This also means that any
other tools that are written to understand pstore will automatically be
able to process ramoops too.

Chris Metcalf dbcb4a1a3f arch/tile: add hypervisor-based character driver for SPI flash ROM
The first version of this patch proposed an arch/tile/drivers/ directory,
but the consensus was that this was probably a poor choice for a place to
group Tilera-specific drivers, and that in any case grouping by platform
was discouraged, and grouping by function was preferred.

This version of the patch addresses various issues raised in the
community, primarily the absence of sysfs integration.  The sysfs
integration now handles passing information on sector size, page size,
and total partition size to userspace as well.  In addition, we now
use a single "struct cdev" to manage all the partition minor devices,
and dynamically discover the correct number of partitions from the
hypervisor rather than using a module_param with a default value.

This driver has no particular "peer" drivers it can be grouped with.
It is sort of like an MTD driver for SPI ROM, but it doesn't group well
with the other MTD devices since it relies on hypervisor virtualization
to handle many of the irritating aspects of flash ROM management: sector
awareness, background read for sub-sector writes, bit examination to
determine whether a sector erase needs to be issued, etc.  It is in fact
more like an EEPROM driver, but the hypervisor virtualization does require
a "flush" command if you wish to commit a sector write prior to writing
to a different sector, and this is sufficiently different from generic
I2C/SPI EEPROMs that as a result it doesn't group well with them either.

The simple character device is already in use by a range of Tilera
SPI ROM management tools, as well as by customers.  In addition, using
the simple character device actually simplifies the userspace tools,
since they don't need to manage sector erase, background read, etc.
This both simplifies the code (since we can uniformly manage plain files
and the SPI ROM) as well as makes the user code portable to non-Linux
platforms that don't offer the same MTD ioctls.
