9e98966c7b tty: rework break handling
Some hardware needs to do break handling itself and may have partial
support only. Make break_ctl return an error code. Add a tty driver flag
so you can indicate driver hardware side break support.

f34d7a5b70 tty: The big operations rework
- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

f2d937f3bf consoles: polling support, kgdboc
polled console handling support, to access a console in an irq-less
way while in debug or irq context.

absolutely zero impact as long as CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL is disabled.

e10cc1df1d tty: add compat_ioctl
Add compat_ioctl method for tty code to allow processing of 32 bit ioctl
calls on 64 bit systems by tty core, tty drivers, and line disciplines.

Based on patch by Arnd Bergmann:

edc6afc549 [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios and new framework
This is the core of the switch to the new framework.  I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.

The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support.  The
code patches here ensure that providing

1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)

the existing behaviour is retained.  This is true for the patches at this
point in time.

Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.

53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

331b831983 [PATCH] devfs: Rename TTY_DRIVER_NO_DEVFS to TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV
I've always found this flag confusing.  Now that devfs is no longer around, it
has been renamed, and the documentation for when this flag should be used has
been updated.

Also fixes all drivers that use this flag.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
