Especially when a linked tty is used such as pty, the linked tty
port's buf works have not been cancelled while master tty port's
buf work has been cancelled. Since release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc
run in workqueue threads separately, when pty_cleanup happens and
link tty port is freed, flush_to_ldisc tries to access freed port
and port->itty, eventually it causes a panic.
This patch utilizes the magic value with holding the tty_mutex to
check if the tty->link is valid.

By default, the kernel will automatically load the module of any line
dicipline that is asked for. As this sometimes isn't the safest thing
to do, provide a sysctl to disable this feature.
By default, we set this to 'y' as that is the historical way that Linux
has worked, and we do not want to break working systems. But in the
future, perhaps this can default to 'n' to prevent this functionality.

The USB-serial console implementation has never reported the actual
terminal settings used. Despite storing the corresponding cflags in its
struct console, these were never honoured on later tty open() where the
tty termios would be left initialised to the driver defaults.
Unlike the serial console implementation, the USB-serial code calls
subdriver open() already at console setup. While calling set_termios()
and write() before open() looks like it could work for some USB-serial
drivers, others definitely do not expect this, so modelling this after
serial core is going to be intrusive, if at all possible.
Instead, use a (renamed) tty helper to save the termios data used at
console setup so that the tty termios reflects the actual terminal
settings after a subsequent tty open().
Note that the calls to tty_init_termios() (tty_driver_install()) and
tty_save_termios() are serialised using the disconnect mutex.
This specifically fixes a regression that was triggered by a recent
change adding software flow control to the pl2303 driver: a getty trying
to disable flow control while leaving the baud rate unchanged would now
also set the baud rate to the driver default (prior to the flow-control
change this had been a noop).

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

First of all, make it return int. Returning long when native method
had never allowed that is ridiculous and inconvenient.
More importantly, change the caller; if ldisc ->compat_ioctl() is NULL
or returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, tty_compat_ioctl() will try to feed cmd and
compat_ptr(arg) to ldisc's native ->ioctl().
That simplifies ->compat_ioctl() instances quite a bit - they only
need to deal with ioctls that are neither generic tty ones (those
would get shunted off to tty_ioctl()) nor simple compat pointer ones.
Note that something like TCFLSH won't reach ->compat_ioctl(),
even if ldisc ->ioctl() does handle it - it will be recognized
earlier and passed to tty_ioctl() (and ultimately - ldisc ->ioctl()).
For many ldiscs it means that NULL ->compat_ioctl() does the
right thing. Those where it won't serve (see e.g. n_r3964.c) are
also easily dealt with - we need to handle the numeric-argument
ioctls (calling the native instance) and, if such would exist,
the ioctls that need layout conversion, etc.
All in-tree ldiscs dealt with.

Replace send_sig and force_sig in __do_SAK with group_send_sig_info
the general helper for sending a signal to a process group. This is
wordier but it allows specifying PIDTYPE_SID so that the signal code
knows the signal went to a session.
Both force_sig() and send_sig(..., 1) specify SEND_SIG_PRIV and the
new call of group_send_sig_info does that explicitly. This is enough
to ensure even a pid namespace init is killed.
The global init remains unkillable. The guarantee that __do_SAK tries
to provide is a clean path to login to a machine. As the global init is
unkillable, if it chooses to hold open a tty it can violate this
guarantee. A technique other than killing processes would be needed
to provide this guarantee to userspace.
The only difference between force_sig and send_sig when sending
SIGKILL is that SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE is cleared. This has no affect on
the processing of a signal sent with SEND_SIG_PRIV by any process, making
it unnecessary, and not behavior that needs to be preserved.
force_sig was used originally because it did not take as many locks as
send_sig. Today send_sig, force_sig and group_send_sig_info take the
same locks when delivering a signal.
group_send_sig_info also contains a permission check that force_sig
and send_sig do not. However the presence of SEND_SIG_PRIV makes the
permission check a noop. So the permission check does not result
in any behavioral differences.

A tty is hung up by __tty_hangup() setting file->f_op to
hung_up_tty_fops, which is skipped on ttys whose write operation isn't
tty_write(). This means that, for example, /dev/console whose write
op is redirected_tty_write() is never actually marked hung up.
Because n_tty_read() uses the hung up status to decide whether to
abort the waiting readers, the lack of hung-up marking can lead to the
following scenario.
1. A session contains two processes. The leader and its child. The
child ignores SIGHUP.
2. The leader exits and starts disassociating from the controlling
terminal (/dev/console).
3. __tty_hangup() skips setting f_op to hung_up_tty_fops.
4. SIGHUP is delivered and ignored.
5. tty_ldisc_hangup() is invoked. It wakes up the waits which should
clear the read lockers of tty->ldisc_sem.
6. The reader wakes up but because tty_hung_up_p() is false, it
doesn't abort and goes back to sleep while read-holding
tty->ldisc_sem.
7. The leader progresses to tty_ldisc_lock() in tty_ldisc_hangup()
and is now stuck in D sleep indefinitely waiting for
tty->ldisc_sem.
The following is Alan's explanation on why some ttys aren't hung up.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171101170908.6ad08580@alans-desktop
1. It broke the serial consoles because they would hang up and close
down the hardware. With tty_port that *should* be fixable properly
for any cases remaining.
2. The console layer was (and still is) completely broken and doens't
refcount properly. So if you turn on console hangups it breaks (as
indeed does freeing consoles and half a dozen other things).
As neither can be fixed quickly, this patch works around the problem
by introducing a new flag, TTY_HUPPING, which is used solely to tell
n_tty_read() that hang-up is in progress for the console and the
readers should be aborted regardless of the hung-up status of the
device.
The following is a sample hung task warning caused by this issue.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

The usual number of various serial driver fixes and updates to try to
get them to work with crazy hardware configurations (seriously, how many
different ways are hardware engineers going to come up with to hook up a
simple UART?)
There is also some serdev bugfixes and updates, as well as a smattering

In case that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is on and pty is used, races between
release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc work threads may happen and lead
to use-after-free condition on tty->link->port. Because SLUB_DEBUG
is turned on, freed tty->link->port is filled with POISON_FREE value.
So far without SLUB_DEBUG, port was filled with zero and flush_to_ldisc
could return without a problem by checking if tty is NULL.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX

the full boiler plate text.

This patch adds "tty-index" field to /proc/PID/fdinfo/N if N
specifies /dev/ptmx. The field shows the index of associative
slave pts.
Though a minor number is given for each pts instance, ptmx is not.
It means there is no way in user-space to know the association between
file descriptors for pts/n and ptmx. (n = 0, 1, ...)
This is different from pipe. About pipe such association can be solved
by inode of pipefs.
Providing the way to know the association between pts/n and ptmx helps
users understand the status of running system. lsof can utilize this field.

The commit 12e84c71b7 ("tty: export tty_open_by_driver") exports
tty_open_by_device to allow tty to be opened from inside kernel which
works fine except that it doesn't handle contention with user space or
another kernel-space open of the same tty. For example, opening a tty
from user space while it is kernel opened results in failure and a
kernel log message about mismatch between tty->count and tty's file
open count.
This patch makes kernel access to tty exclusive, so that if a user
process or kernel opens a kernel opened tty, it gets -EBUSY. It does
this by adding TTY_KOPENED flag to tty->flags. When this flag is set,
tty_open_by_driver returns -EBUSY. Instead of overloading
tty_open_by_driver for both kernel and user space, this
patch creates a separate function tty_kopen which closely follows
tty_open_by_driver. tty_kclose closes the tty opened by tty_kopen.
To address the mismatch between tty->count and #fd's, this patch adds
#kopen's to the count before comparing it with tty->count. That way
check_tty_count reflects correct usage count.
Returning -EBUSY on tty open is a change in the interface. I have
tested this with minicom, picocom and commands like "echo foo >
/dev/ttyS0". They all correctly report "Device or resource busy" when
the tty is already kernel opened.

The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.
When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open. Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.
The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.
To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called. This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached. Thus removing the need for caching the path.
A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget. The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.
v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work
v3: Suggestions by Linus
- Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer
- Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required
[ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit
143c97cc65, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
increased reference counts - Linus ]

The function converts strings like ttyS0 and ttyUSB0 to dev_t like
(4, 64) and (188, 0). It does this by scanning tty_drivers list for
corresponding device name and index. If the driver is not registered,
this function returns -ENODEV. It also acquires tty_mutex.

This exports tty_open_by_driver so that it can be called from other
places inside the kernel. The checks for null file pointer are based on
Alan Cox's patch here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1215095.html.
Description below is quoted from it:
"[RFC] tty_port: allow a port to be opened with a tty that has no file handle
Let us create tty objects entirely in kernel space. Untested proposal to
show why all the ideas around rewriting half the uart stack are not needed.
With this a kernel created non file backed tty object could be used to handle
data, and set terminal modes. Not all ldiscs can cope with this as N_TTY in
particular has to work back to the fs/tty layer.
The tty_port code is however otherwise clean of file handles as far as I can
tell as is the low level tty port write path used by the ldisc, the
configuration low level interfaces and most of the ldiscs.
Currently you don't have any exposure to see tty hangups because those are
built around the file layer. However a) it's a fixed port so you probably
don't care about that b) if you do we can add a callback and c) you almost
certainly don't want the userspace tear down/rebuild behaviour anyway.
This should however be sufficient if we wanted for example to enumerate all
the bluetooth bound fixed ports via ACPI and make them directly available.
It doesn't deal with the case of a user opening a port that's also kernel
opened and that would need some locking out (so it returned EBUSY if bound
to a kernel device of some kind). That needs resolving along with how you
"up" or "down" your new bluetooth device, or enumerate it while providing
the existing tty API to avoid regressions (and to debug)."
The exported funtion is used later in this patch set to gain access to tty_struct.
