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

 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted

This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested

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

do_wait: kill the old BUG_ON, use while_each_thread()

do_wait() does BUG_ON(tsk->signal != current->signal), this looks like a
raher obsolete check.  At least, I don't think do_wait() is the best place
to verify that all threads have the same ->signal.  Remove it.

Also, change the code to use while_each_thread().

do_wait: simplify retval/tsk_result/notask_error mess

Now that we don't pass &retval down to other helpers we can simplify
the code more.

- kill tsk_result, just use retval

- add the "notask" label right after the main loop, and
  s/got end/goto notask/ after the fastpath pid check.

  This way we don't need to initialize retval before this
  check and the code becomes a bit more clean, if this pid
  has no attached tasks we should just skip the list search.

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.
