LinuxPPS: core support
This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".
PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.
Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.
To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler
Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is
dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its
behavior which is really unnecessecary.
If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL
pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec
directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if
its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec
kernel has been loaded).
It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a
NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will
always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into
reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler
(assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

w1-gpio: add external pull-up enable callback
On embedded devices, sleep mode conditions can be tricky to handle,
Especially when processors tend to pull-down the w1 bus during sleep. Bus
slaves (such as the ds2760) may interpret this as a reason for power-down
conditions and entirely switch off the device.
This patch adds a callback function pointer to let users switch on and off
the external pull-up resistor. This lets the outside world know whether
the processor is currently actively driving the bus or not.
When this callback is not provided, the code behaviour won't change.

gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use

While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and

modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was

kthreads: simplify migration_thread() exit path
Now that kthread_stop() can be used even if the task has already exited,
we can kill the "wait_to_die:" loop in migration_thread(). But we must
pin rq->migration_thread after creation.
Actually, I don't think CPU_UP_CANCELED or CPU_DEAD should wait for
->migration_thread exit. Perhaps we can simplify this code a bit more.
migration_call() can set ->should_stop and forget about this thread. But
we need a new helper in kthred.c for that.

kthreads: rework kthread_stop()
Based on Eric's patch which in turn was based on my patch.
kthread_stop() has the nasty problems:
- it runs unpredictably long with the global semaphore held.
- it deadlocks if kthread itself does kthread_stop() before it obeys
the kthread_should_stop() request.
- it is not useable if kthread exits on its own, see for example the
ugly "wait_to_die:" hack in migration_thread()
- it is not possible to just tell kthread it should stop, we must always
wait for its exit.
With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on
its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted. ->vfork_done is used
as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily
wait for kthread's exit.

kthreads: simplify the startup synchronization
We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly.
kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread()
wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not
need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself
can wake up the caller of kthread_create().
Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the
scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code.
The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread()
must do complete(&create->done).

In theory, the ->state changing can leak into the critical section. Since
the child can change its status under read_lock(tasklist) in parallel
(finish_stop/ptrace_stop), we can miss the wakeup if __wake_up_parent()

ptrace: do not use task_lock() for attach
Remove the "Nasty, nasty" lock dance in ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme() -
from now task_lock() has nothing to do with ptrace at all.
With the recent changes nobody uses task_lock() to serialize with ptrace,
but in fact it was never needed and it was never used consistently.
However ptrace_attach() calls __ptrace_may_access() and needs task_lock()
to pin task->mm for get_dumpable(). But we can call __ptrace_may_access()
before we take tasklist_lock, ->cred_exec_mutex protects us against
do_execve() path which can change creds and MMF_DUMP* flags.
(ugly, but we can't use ptrace_may_access() because it hides the error
code, so we have to take task_lock() and use __ptrace_may_access()).
NOTE: this change assumes that LSM hooks, security_ptrace_may_access() and
security_ptrace_traceme(), can be called without task_lock() held.
