Peter Hurley d1d3a0f744 tty: Only allow slave pty as controlling tty
A master pty should never be a controlling tty in Linux; if the
master pty is specified to ioctl(TIOCSCTTY), silently substitute the slave
pty as the controlling tty.

Peter Hurley d435cefe9c tty: Remove __func__ from tty_debug() macro
Now that tty_debug() macro uses pr_debug(), the function name can
be printed when using dynamic debug; printing the function name within
the format string is redundant.

Remove the __func__ parameter and print specifier from the format string.
Add context to messages for when the function name is not printed by
dynamic debug, or when dynamic debug is not enabled.

Leon Yu c1a752ba2d tty: don't leak cdev in tty_cdev_add()
Commit a3a10ce342 ("Avoid usb reset crashes by making tty_io cdevs truly
dynamic") which mixes using cdev_alloc() and cdev_init() is problematic.
Subsequent call to cdev_init() after cdev_alloc() sets kobj release method
from cdev_dynamic_release() to cdev_default_release() and thus makes it
impossible to free allocated cdev.

This patch also consolidates error path of cdev_add() as cdev can also leak
here if things went wrong.

Jiri Slaby f0bf0bd079 tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take four
This problem was taken care of three times already in
* b0de59b573 (TTY: do not update

* 37b7f3c765 (TTY: fix atime/mtime
  regression), and
* b0b885657b (tty: fix up atime/mtime
  mess, take three)

But it still misses one point. As John Paul correctly points out, we
do not care about setting date. If somebody ever changes wall
time backwards (by mistake for example), tty timestamps are never
updated until the original wall time passes.

So check the absolute difference of times and if it large than "8
seconds or so", always update the time. That means we will update
immediatelly when changing time. Ergo, CAP_SYS_TIME can foul the
check, but it was always that way.

Thanks John for serving me this so nicely debugged.

Peter Hurley 86c80a8e2a tty: Flush ldisc buffer atomically with tty flip buffers
tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer,
then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing
data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input
buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared.

Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow
tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear.

NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in
tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing
line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on
ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line
disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods,
so a ->flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.

Peter Hurley 2aff5e2bc6 tty: Change tty lock order to master->slave
When releasing the master pty, the slave pty also needs to be locked
to prevent concurrent tty count changes for the slave pty and to
ensure that only one parallel master and slave release observe the
final close, and proceed to destruct the pty pair. Conversely, when
releasing the slave pty, locking the master pty is not necessary
(since the master's state can be inferred by the slave tty count).

Introduce tty_lock_slave()/tty_unlock_slave() which acquires/releases
the tty lock of the slave pty. Remove tty_lock_pair()/tty_unlock_pair().

Dropping the tty_lock is no longer required to re-establish a stable

Peter Hurley d5e370a4ee tty: Don't release tty locks for wait queue sanity check
Releasing the tty locks while waiting for the tty wait queues to

"tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty count changes", dropping the
tty locks was necessary to reestablish the correct lock order between
tty_mutex and the tty locks. Dropping the global tty_mutex was necessary;
otherwise new ttys could not have been opened while waiting.

However, without needing the global tty_mutex held, the tty locks for
the releasing tty can now be held through the sleep. The sanity check
is for abnormal conditions caused by kernel bugs, not for recoverable
errors caused by misbehaving userspace; dropping the tty locks only
allows the tty state to get more sideways.

Peter Hurley aa3cb814a8 tty: Drop tty_mutex before tty reopen
Holding tty_mutex for a tty re-open is no longer necessary since
"tty: Clarify re-open behavior of master ptys". Because the
slave tty count is no longer accessed by tty_reopen(), holding
tty_mutex to prevent concurrent final tty_release() of the slave
pty is not required.

As with "tty: Re-open /dev/tty without tty_mutex", holding a
tty kref until the tty_lock is acquired is sufficient to ensure
the tty has not been freed, which, in turn, is sufficient to
ensure the tty_lock can be safely acquired and the tty count
can be safely retrieved. A non-zero tty count with the tty lock
held guarantees that release_tty() has not run and cannot
run concurrently with tty_reopen().

Change tty_driver_lookup_tty() to acquire the tty kref, which
allows the tty_mutex to be dropped before acquiring the tty lock.
Dropping the tty_mutex before attempting the tty_lock allows
other ttys to be opened and released, without needing this
tty_reopen() to complete.

Peter Hurley 52494eeb99 tty: Re-open /dev/tty without tty_mutex
Opening /dev/tty (ie., the controlling tty for the current task)
is always a re-open of the underlying tty. Because holding the
tty_lock is sufficient for safely re-opening a tty, and because
having a tty kref is sufficient for safely acquiring the tty_lock [1],
tty_open_current_tty() does not require holding tty_mutex.

Repurpose tty_open_current_tty() to perform the re-open itself and
refactor tty_open().

[1] Analysis of safely re-opening the current tty w/o tty_mutex

get_current_tty() gets a tty kref from the already kref'ed tty value of
current->signal->tty while holding the sighand lock for the current
task. This guarantees that the tty pointer returned from
get_current_tty() points to a tty which remains referenceable
while holding the kref.

Although release_tty() may run concurrently, and thus the driver
reference may be removed, release_one_tty() cannot have run, and
won't while holding the tty kref.

This, in turn, guarantees the tty_lock() can safely be acquired
(since tty->magic and tty->legacy_mutex are still a valid dereferences).
The tty_lock() also gets a tty kref to prevent the tty_unlock() from
dereferencing a released tty. Thus, the kref returned from
get_current_tty() can be released.

Lastly, the first operation of tty_reopen() is to check the tty count.
If non-zero, this ensures release_tty() is not running concurrently,
and the driver references have not been removed.

Peter Hurley 216030ec55 tty: Check tty->count instead of TTY_CLOSING in tty_reopen()
Although perhaps not obvious, the TTY_CLOSING bit is set when the
tty count has been decremented to 0 (which occurs while holding
tty_lock). The only other case when tty count is 0 during a re-open
is when a legacy BSD pty master has been opened in parallel but
after the pty slave, which is unsupported and returns an error.

Thus !tty->count contains the complete set of degenerate conditions
under which a tty open fails.

Peter Hurley 5d93e74895 tty: Clarify re-open behavior of master ptys
Re-opening master ptys is not allowed. Once opened and for the remaining
lifetime of the master pty, its tty count is 1. If its tty count has
dropped to 0, then the master pty was closed and TTY_CLOSING was set,
and destruction may begin imminently.

Besides the normal case of a legacy BSD pty master being re-opened
(which always returns -EIO), this code is only reachable in 2 degenerate
cases:
1. The pty master is the controlling terminal (this is possible through
   the TIOCSCTTY ioctl). pty masters are not designed to be controlling
   terminals and it's an oversight that tiocsctty() ever let that happen.
   The attempted open of /dev/tty will always fail. No known program does
   this.
2. The legacy BSD pty slave was opened first. The slave open will fail
   in pty_open() and tty_release() will commence. But before tty_release()
   claims the tty_mutex, there is a very small window where a parallel
   master open might succeed. In a test of racing legacy BSD slave and
   master parallel opens, where:
      slave open attempts:  10000   success:4527  failure:5473
      master open attempts: 11728   success:5789  failure:5939
   only 8 master open attempts would have succeeded reaching this code and
   successfully opened the master pty. This case is not possible with
   SysV ptys.

Always return -EIO if a master pty is re-opened or the slave is opened
first and the master opened in parallel (for legacy BSD ptys).

Furthermore, now that changing the slave's count is not required,
the tty_lock is sufficient for preventing concurrent changes to the
tty being re-opened (or failing re-opening).

Peter Hurley 3ff51a199f tty: Remove TTY_HUPPING
Now that tty_ldisc_hangup() does not drop the tty lock, it is no
longer possible to observe TTY_HUPPING while holding the tty lock
on another cpu.

Remove TTY_HUPPING bit definition.
