For some devices it is possible to configure a hysteresis for threshold (or
similar) events. This patch adds a new hysteresis event info type which allows
for easy creation and read/write handling of the sysfs attribute.

The event configuration interface of the IIO framework has not been getting the
same attention as other parts. As a result it has not seen the same improvements
as e.g. the channel interface has seen with the introduction of the channel spec
struct. Currently all the event config callbacks take a u64 (the so called event
code) to pass all the different information about for which event the callback
is invoked. The callback function then has to extract the information it is
interested in using some macros with rather long names. Most information encoded
in the event code comes straight from the iio_chan_spec struct the event was
registered for. Since we always have a handle to the channel spec when we call
the event callbacks the first step is to add the channel spec as a parameter to
the event callbacks. The two remaining things encoded in the event code are the
type and direction of the event. Instead of passing them in one parameter, add
one parameter for each of them and remove the eventcode from the event
callbacks. The patch also adds a new iio_event_info parameter to the
{read,write}_event_value callbacks. This makes it possible, similar to the
iio_chan_info_enum for channels, to specify additional properties other than
just the value for an event. Furthermore the new interface will allow to
register shared events. This is e.g. useful if a device allows configuring a
threshold event, but the threshold setting is the same for all channels.
To implement this the patch adds a new iio_event_spec struct which is similar to
the iio_chan_spec struct. It as two field to specify the type and the direction
of the event. Furthermore it has a mask field for each one of the different
iio_shared_by types. These mask fields holds which kind of attributes should be
registered for the event. Creation of the attributes follows the same rules as
the for the channel attributes. E.g. for the separate_mask there will be a
attribute for each channel with this event, for the shared_by_type there will
only be one attribute per channel type. The iio_chan_spec struct gets two new
fields, 'event_spec' and 'num_event_specs', which is used to specify which the
events for this channel. These two fields are going to replace the channel's
event_mask field.
For now both the old and the new event config interface coexist, but over the
few patches all drivers will be converted from the old to the new interface.
Once that is done all code for supporting the old interface will be removed.

We have the same code to free a IIO device attribute list in multiple place.
This patch adds a new helper function to take care of this and replaces the
custom instances with a call to the helper function. Note that we do not need to
call list_del() for each of the list items since we will never look at any of
the list items nor the list itself again.

IIO uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part
of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument
allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file
descriptor.
In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that
userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor
is going to be inherited across exec().
KVM usage of anon_inode_getfd() was fixed in a previous patchset [1],
so IIO is the only subsystem using anon_inode_getfd() with a fixed set
of flags not including O_CLOEXEC.
This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on the event file descriptor created
with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().

Currently it is not save to call iio_push_event() from hard IRQ context since
the IIO event code uses spin_lock()/spin_unlock() and it is not save to mix
calls to spin_lock()/spin_unlock() from different contexts on the same lock.
E.g. if the lock is being held in iio_event_chrdev_read() and an interrupts
kicks in and the interrupt handler calls iio_push_event() we end uo with a
deadlock.
This patch updates iio_push_event() to use spin_lock_irqsave()/
spin_unlock_irqstrestore(), since it can be called from both IRQ and non-IRQ
context. All other other users of the lock, which are always run in non-IRQ
context, are updated to spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq().

The function __iio_add_event_config_attrs is only called once, by the
function iio_device_register_eventset. If the call fails,
iio_device_register_eventset calls __iio_remove_event_config_attrs. There
is thus no need for __iio_add_event_config_attrs to also call
__iio_remove_event_config_attrs on failure.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

The dev_attr list is initialized in __iio_add_event_config_attrs which
is called only when indio_dev->channels is true. Nevertheless the list
is used unconditionally later in iio_device_register_eventset which
results in a NULL pointer exception. To fix this unconditionally
initialize the list in iio_device_register_eventset.
