Vincent Legoll 98e959d44b drivers: pps: Make PPS into a menuconfig to ease disabling
So that there's no need to get into the submenu to disable all related config
entries.

The BROKEN PPS_GENERATOR_PARPORT now also depends on PPS

Alexander Gordeev 77d1c8eb8a pps: remove unreachable code
Remove code enabled only when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is turned on because it is
not used in the vanilla kernel.

Thomas Gleixner 95b90afec3 pps: make pps_gen_parport depend on BROKEN
This driver causes hard lockups, when the active clock soure is jiffies.

The reason is that it loops with interrupts disabled waiting for a
timestamp to be reached by polling getnstimeofday().  Though with a
jiffies clocksource, when that code runs on the same CPU which is
responsible for updating jiffies, then we loop in circles for ever
simply because the timer interrupt cannot update jiffies.  So both UP
and SMP can be affected.

There is no easy fix for that problem so make it depend on BROKEN for
now.

Alexander Gordeev 4f542e3dd9 pps: claim parallel port exclusively
Both pps_parport and pps_gen_parport are written in a way that they
can't share a port with any other driver.  This can result in locking up
the process that loads modules or even the whole kernel if the modules
are compiled in.  Use PARPORT_FLAG_EXCL to indicate this.

Alexander Gordeev 563558b2c7 pps: add parallel port PPS signal generator
Add PPS signal generator which utilizes STROBE pin of a parallel port to
send PPS signals.  It uses parport abstraction layer and hrtimers to
precisely control the signal.
