In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.
The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.
Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

Byte-by-byte echo output is painfully slow, requiring a lock/unlock
cycle for every input byte.
Instead, perform the echo output in blocks of 256 characters, and
at least once per flip buffer receive. Enough space is reserved in
the echo buffer to guarantee a full block can be saved without
overrunning the echo output. Overrun is prevented by discarding
the oldest echoes until enough space exists in the echo buffer
to receive at least a full block of new echoes.

Adding data to echo_buf (via add_echo_byte()) is guaranteed to be
single-threaded, since all callers are from the n_tty_receive_buf()
path. Processing the echo_buf can be called from either the
n_tty_receive_buf() path or the n_tty_write() path; however, these
callers are already serialized by output_lock.

from echo_tail to echo_commit; remove echo_lock.

Use a 0-sized sentinel to avoid assigning the head ptr from

The pty driver forces ldisc flow control on, regardless of available
receive buffer space, so the writer can be woken whenever unthrottle
is called. However, this 'forced throttle' has performance
consequences, as multiple atomic operations are necessary to
unthrottle and perform the write wakeup for every input line (in
canonical mode).
Instead, short-circuit the unthrottle if the tty is a pty and perform
