pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.

2014-04-14T13:44:17Z

commit d953e0e837e65ecc1ddaa4f9560f7925878a0de6 upstream. Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it (in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy). Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles. A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then the deallocation ordering becomes simpler. But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that for later.

pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling

2014-04-14T13:44:17Z

commit 03a7ffe4e542310838bac70ef85acc17536b6d7c upstream. Now that N_TTY uses tty->disc_data for its private data, 'subclass' ldiscs cannot use ->disc_data for their own private data. (This is a regression is v3.8-rc1) Use pps_lookup_dev to associate the tty with the pps source instead. This fixes a crashing regression in 3.8-rc1.

pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function

2014-04-14T13:44:17Z

commit 513b032c98b4b9414aa4e9b4a315cb1bf0380101 upstream. The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer. Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low (n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup, so the timing isn't affected.) It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not something that affects users.

pps gpio client: add missing dependency

pps: new client driver using GPIO

2011-11-02T23:07:02Z

This client driver allows you to use a GPIO pin as a source for PPS signals. Platform data [1] are used to specify the GPIO pin number, label, assert event edge type, and whether clear events are captured. This driver is based on the work by Ricardo Martins who submitted an initial implementation [2] of a PPS IRQ client driver to the linuxpps mailing-list on Dec 3 2010.

pps: default echo function

2011-11-02T23:07:02Z

A default echo function has been provided so it is no longer an error when you specify PPS_ECHOASSERT or PPS_ECHOCLEAR without an explicit echo function. This allows some code re-use and also makes it easier to write client drivers since the default echo function does not normally need to change.
