[ Upstream commit fbf740aeb86a4fe82ad158d26d711f2f3be79b3e ]

In register_device, the return value of ida_simple_get is unchecked,
in witch ida_simple_get will use an invalid index value.

To address this issue, index should be checked after ida_simple_get. When
the index value is abnormal, a warning message should be printed, the port
should be dropped, and the value should be recorded.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

This is less verbose.

commit 998174042da229e2cf5841f574aba4a743e69650 upstream.

Going through the uses of timeval in the user space API,
I noticed two bugs in ppdev that were introduced in the y2038
conversion:

* The range check was accidentally moved from ppsettime to
  ppgettime

* On sparc64, the microseconds are in the other half of the
  64-bit word.

Fix both, and mark the fix for stable backports.

<title>char: ppdev: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in pp_release()</title>

In pp_release(), there is an if statement on line 730 to check whether
pp-&gt;pdev is NULL:
    else if ((pp-&gt;flags &amp; PP_CLAIMED) &amp;&amp; pp-&gt;pdev &amp;&amp; ...)

When pp-&gt;pdev is NULL, it is used on line 743:
    info = &amp;pp-&gt;pdev-&gt;port-&gt;ieee1284;
and on line 748:
    parport_release(pp-&gt;pdev);

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, pp-&gt;pdev is checked on line 740.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with
it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port
driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single
parallel port. And as a result we were having a big warning like:
"sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/parport0/ppdev0.0'".
And with that many parallel port printers stopped working.

We have been using the minor number as the id field while registering
a parralel port device with a parralel port. But when there are
multiple parrallel port device for one single parallel port, they all
tried to register with the same name like 'pardev0.0' and everything
started failing.
Use an incremented index as the id instead of the minor number.
