The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we
dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel.
It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later
time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged
quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that
forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the
code is abandonded and not used by anyone.
Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in
order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge
issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and
you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree
developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at
the current situation. Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel
copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems
for everyone involved.

The 'vsoc' driver was required for an early iteration of the Android
'cuttlefish' virtual platform, but this platform has been wholly
converted to use virtio drivers instead. Delete this old driver.

Commit 23a4388f24f5 ("staging: android: ion: Remove file ion_chunk_heap.c")
and eadbf7a34e44 ("staging: android: ion: Remove file ion_carveout_heap.c")
removed the chunk and carveout heaps from ion but left behind the device
tree bindings for them in the TODO, this patch removes it.

The cuttlefish system is a virtual SoC architecture based on QEMU. It
uses the QEMU ivshmem feature to share memory regions between guest and
host with a custom protocol.

- remove CONFIG_SW_SYNC_USER, it is used only for testing/debugging and
should not be upstreamed.
- port CONFIG_SW_SYNC_USER tests interfaces to use debugfs somehow
- port libsync tests to kselftest
- clean up and ABI check for security issues
- move the sync framework to drivers/base/dma-buf

We discussed a bit with the folks on the Cc: list below what to do
with ION. Two big take-aways:
- High-performance drivers (like gpus) always want to play tricks with
coherency and will lie to the dma api (radeon, nouveau, i915 gpu
drivers all do so in upstream). What needs to be done here is fill
gaps in dma-buf so that we can do this without breaking the dma-api
expections of other clients like v4l. The consesus is that hw won't
stop needing these tricks anytime soon.
- Placement constraints for shared buffers won't be solved any other
way than through something platform-specific like ion with
platform-specific knowledge in userspace in something like gralloc.
For general-purpose devices where this assumption would be painful
for userspace (like servers) the consensus is that such devices will
have proper MMUs where placement constraint handling is fairly
irrelevant.
Hence it is reasonable to destage ion as-is without changing the
overall design to enable these use-cases and just fixing up a these
few fairly minor things. Since there won't relly be an open-source
userspace for ion (and hence drm maintainers won't take it) the
proposal is to eventually move it to drivers/android/ion.[hc]. Laura
would be ok with being maintainer once this is all done and ion is
destaged.
Note that Thiago is working on exposing the cpu cache flushing for
cpu access from userspace through mmaps so this is alread in progress.
Also adding him to the Cc: list.
v2: Add ION_IOC_IMPORT to the list of ioctl that probably should go.

A comment about a pre-existing bug data structure definition is added.
This bug was evidently introduced by Xiong Zhou in the patch
bd471258f2e09 ("staging: android: logger: use kuid_t instead of uid_t")
where the code was changed to hide a valid build warning instead of
solving the bug that was identified by it.

This reverts commit b0a0ccfad85b3657fe999805df65f5cfe634ab8a.
Turns out I was wrong, we want these in the tree.
Note, I've disabled the drivers from the build at the moment, so other
patches can be applied to fix some build issues due to internal api
changes since the code was removed from the tree.

These drivers are no longer being developed and the original authors
seem to have abandonded them and hence, do not want them in the mainline
kernel tree.
