* pps: make pps_gen_parport depend on BROKENThomas Gleixner2011-03-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* pps: claim parallel port exclusivelyAlexander Gordeev2011-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* pps: add parallel port PPS signal generatorAlexander Gordeev2011-01-132-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
