1ccb7b6249 staging/mei: propagate error codes up in the write flow
Change mei_write_message's return type from bool to int
to enable propagation of the error code up to caller functions.
The function now returns -EIO when low level write fails and 0
on success.
A similar change is done in intermediate caller functions:
mei_send_flow_control, mei_connect, and mei_disconnect

This makes code more alike to typical Linux kernel error
handling.

Because we don't have vblank hooked up via drm_irq (which is a bit
awkward due to separation between omapdss (which knows the irq #)
and omapdrm, for now use gettimeofday to have a semi-sane timestamp
in the page-flip event.  Otherwise apps like weston drm compositor,
which use the timestamp in it's animations, get highly confused.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfcf6e): Section mismatch in reference
from the function ram_console_driver_probe() to the function
.init.text:persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer()
The function ram_console_driver_probe() references
the function __init persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer().
This is often because ram_console_driver_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer is
wrong.

Move this driver to platform_driver_probe() because ram console
devices aren't going to be added and removed at runtime. Also
shorten the probe function name since driver is redundant and
makes the function name long.

dd09979346 staging: android: ram_console: honor dmesg_restrict
The Linux kernel has a setting called dmesg_restrict. When true,
only processes with CAP_SYSLOG can view the kernel dmesg logs. This
helps prevent leaking of kernel information into user space.

On Android, it's possible to bypass these restrictions by viewing
/proc/last_kmsg.

This change makes /proc/last_kmsg require the same permissions as
dmesg.

c672528aec staging: android: ram_console: split out persistent ram
Split ram_console into two halves.

persistent_ram is a set of apis that handle a block of memory
that does not get erased across a reboot.  It provides functions
to fill it as a single buffer or a ring buffer, and to extract
the old data after a reboot.  It handles ecc on the data to
correct bit errors introduced during reboot.

ram_console is now a small wrapper around persistent_ram that
feeds console data into the ringbuffer, and exports the old
data to /proc/last_kmsg after a reboot.

[jstultz: Moved persistent_ram.h to staging dir]
