Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements
cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as
they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic
stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they
don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization
(via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also
doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase,
so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.

To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where
they're used or lift them up into the main function body.

drivers/char/ppdev.c: In function ‘pp_do_ioctl’:
drivers/char/ppdev.c:516:25: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable]
  516 |   struct ieee1284_info *info;

Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann:
 "As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to
  fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need
  support for time64_t.

  In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of
  this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead.

  After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot
  more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the
  rest of it and move it all into drivers.

  This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own,
  but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which
  is the scsi ioctl handlers. I have patches for those as well, but they
  need more testing or possibly a rewrite"

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.

Each of these drivers has a copy of the same trivial helper function to
convert the pointer argument and then call the native ioctl handler.

We now have a generic implementation of that, so use it.

<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.
