The struct_tty associated with a port is now a direct pointer
from within the local private driver info struct. So fix all uses

The RX lock is used to protect the RX buffer from concurrent access in DMA
mode between the timer and RX interrupt routines. It is independent from
the uart lock which is used to protect the TX buffer. It is possible for
a uart TX transfer to be started up from the RX interrupt handler if low
latency is enabled. So we need to split the locks to avoid deadlocking in
this situation.
In PIO mode, the RX lock is not necessary because the handle_simple_irq
and handle_level_irq functions ensure driver interrupt handlers are called
once on one core.
And now that the RX path has its own lock, the TX interrupt has nothing to
do with the RX path, so disabling it at the same time.

Commit 728674a7e466628df2aeec6d11a2ae1ef968fb67 moved virtio_console.c
to drivers/tty/hvc/ under the perception of this being an hvc driver.
It was such once, but these days it has generic communication
capabilities as well, so move it to drivers/char/.
In the future, the hvc part from this file can be split off and moved
under drivers/tty/hvc/.

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

Fix locking in read and write code of n_hdlc line discipline.
2.6.36 replaced lock_kernel() with tty_lock(). The tty mutex is not
dropped automatically when the thread sleeps like the BKL. This results
in a blocked read or write holding the tty mutex and stalling operations
by other devices that use the tty mutex.
A review of n_hdlc read and write code shows:
1. neither BKL or tty mutex are required for correct operation
2. read can block while read data is available if data is posted
between availability check and call to interruptible_sleep_on()
3. write does not set process state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
on each pass through the processing loop which can cause
unneeded scheduling of the thread
The unnecessary tty mutex references have been removed.
Read changed to use same code as n_tty read
for completing reads and blocking.
Write corrected to set process state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE on each pass
through processing loop.

With framebuffer handover and multiple GPUs, we get into a
position where the fbcon unbinds the vesafb framebuffer for GPU 1,
but we still have a radeon framebuffer bound from GPU 0, so
we don't unregister the console driver. Then when we tried to bind
the new radeon framebuffer for GPU1 we never get to the bind
call as we fail due to the console being registered already.
This changes the return value to -EBUSY when the driver is
already registered and continues to bind for -EBUSY.

The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to

moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver

tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console.
The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog
to the console= kernel command line option.
The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual
console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.

Fix message length handling when building header
When the message length is greater than 127, the length field in the header
is built incorrectly. According to the spec, when the length is less than 128
the length field is a single byte formatted as: bbbbbbb1. When it is greater
than 127 then the field is two bytes of the format: bbbbbbb0 bbbbbbbb.

NET: wan/x25, fix ldisc->open retval
TTY: ldisc, fix open flag handling
serial8250: Mark console as CON_ANYTIME
|
|
Like in the "TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing" patch,
this one fixes a TTY WARNING as described in the option 1) there:
1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this
section tty_lock is held. However tty_lock is temporarily dropped in
the middle of the function by tty_ldisc_hangup.
The fix is to introduce a new flag which we set during the unlocked
window and check it in tty_reopen too. The flag is TTY_HUPPING and is
cleared after TTY_HUPPED is set.
While at it, remove duplicate TTY_HUPPED set_bit. The one after
calling ops->hangup seems to be more correct. But anyway, we hold
tty_lock, so there should be no difference.
Also document the function it does that kind of crap.
Nicely reproducible with two forked children:
static void do_work(const char *tty)
{
if (signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN) == SIG_ERR) exit(1);
setsid();
while (1) {
int fd = open(tty, O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY);
if (fd < 0) continue;
if (ioctl(fd, TIOCSCTTY)) continue;
if (vhangup()) continue;
close(fd);
}
exit(0);

There are many WARNINGs like the following reported nowadays:
WARNING: at drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1331 tty_open+0x2a2/0x49a()
Hardware name: Latitude E6500
Modules linked in:
Pid: 1207, comm: plymouthd Not tainted 2.6.37-rc3-mmotm1123 #3
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8103b189>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98

[<ffffffff8128a3ab>] tty_open+0x2a2/0x49a
[<ffffffff810fd53f>] chrdev_open+0x11d/0x146
...
This means tty_reopen is called without TTY_LDISC set. For further
considerations, note tty_lock is held in tty_open. TTY_LDISC is cleared in:
1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this
section tty_lock is held. However tty_lock is temporarily dropped in
the middle of the function by tty_ldisc_hangup.
2) tty_release via tty_ldisc_release till the end of tty existence. If
tty->count <= 1, tty_lock is taken, TTY_CLOSING bit set and then
tty_ldisc_release called. tty_reopen checks TTY_CLOSING before checking
TTY_LDISC.
3) tty_set_ldisc from tty_ldisc_halt to tty_ldisc_enable. We:
* take tty_lock, set TTY_LDISC_CHANGING, put tty_lock
* call tty_ldisc_halt (clear TTY_LDISC), tty_lock is _not_ held
* do some other work
* take tty_lock, call tty_ldisc_enable (set TTY_LDISC), put
tty_lock
I cannot see how 2) can be a problem, as there I see no race. OTOH, 1)
and 3) can happen without problems. This patch the case 3) by checking
TTY_LDISC_CHANGING along with TTY_CLOSING in tty_reopen. 1) will be
fixed in the following patch.
Nicely reproducible with two processes:
while (1) {
fd = open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0) {
warn("open");
continue;
}
close(fd);
}
--------
while (1) {
fd = open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR);
ld1 = 0; ld2 = 2;
while (1) {

ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ld2);

It was removed in 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into
a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the
ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc.
Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes
waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear
and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called,
it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of
reading and goes nuts after it is woken.
Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops
by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed
that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and
allow the close then.
We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open
the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for
everybody to leave.
I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the
counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless
tty_ldisc_wait_idle.
On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to
reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup
path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.

There's a small window inside the flush_to_ldisc function,
where the tty is unlocked and calling ldisc's receive_buf
function. If in this window new buffer is added to the tty,
the processing might never leave the flush_to_ldisc function.
This scenario will hog the cpu, causing other tty processing
starving, and making it impossible to interface the computer
via tty.
I was able to exploit this via pty interface by sending only
control characters to the master input, causing the flush_to_ldisc
to be scheduled, but never actually generate any output.
To reproduce, please run multiple instances of following code.
- SNIP
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
