The refcount is checked only in tty_unregister_ldisc and EBUSY returned
if it is nonzero. But none of the tty_unregister_ldisc callers act
anyhow if this (or any other) error is returned. So remove
tty_ldisc_ops::refcount completely and make tty_unregister_ldisc return
'void' in the next patches. That means we assume tty_unregister_ldisc is
not called while the ldisc might be in use. That relies on
try_module_get in get_ldops and module_put in put_ldops.

There is no reason to pass the ldisc number to tty_register_ldisc
separately. Just set it in the already defined tty_ldisc_ops in all the
ldiscs.
This simplifies tty_register_ldisc a bit too (no need to set the num
member there).

Group the ctrl members under a single struct called ctrl. The new struct
contains 'pgrp', 'session', 'pktstatus', and 'packet'. 'pktstatus' and
'packet' used to be bits in a bitfield. The struct also contains the
lock protecting them to share the same cache line.
Note that commit c545b66c69 (tty: Serialize tcflow() with other tty
flow control changes) added a padding to the original bitfield. It was
for the bitfield to occupy a whole 64b word to avoid interferring stores
on Alpha (cannot we evaporate this arch with weird implications to C
code yet?). But it doesn't work as expected as the padding
(tty_struct::ctrl_unused) is aligned to a 8B boundary too and occupies
some bytes from the next word.
So make it reliable by:
1) setting __aligned of the struct -- that aligns the start, and
2) making 'unsigned long unused[0]' as the last member of the struct --
pads the end.
Add a kerneldoc comment for this grouped members.

Move lnext handling from __receive_buf to n_tty_receive_buf_standard. It
simplifies the handling as it needs not fetching 'flag' and decrement
'count' in __receive_buf. Instead, all this is left up to the loop in
n_tty_receive_buf_standard which already does that.
This way, no need to repeat the action when n_tty_receive_char_special
returns true -- ldata->lnext is set there in that case, so the 'if
(ldata->lnext)' check is sufficient. The next patch will switch
n_tty_receive_char_special to return 'void'.
The result is much simplified code flow.

handles them all (I_ISTRIP, I_IUCLC, L_IEXTEN, L_EXTPROC, and I_PARMRK).
So remove n_tty_receive_buf_fast and let n_tty_receive_buf_standard do

The ICANON case is a bit messy, since it has to look for the line
ending, and has special code to then suppress line ending characters if
they match the __DISABLED_CHAR. So it actually looks up the line ending
even past the point where it knows it won't copy it to the result
buffer.
That said, apart from all those odd legacy N_TTY ICANON cases, the
actual "should we continue copying" logic isn't really all that
complicated or different from the non-canon case. In fact, the lack of
"wait for at least N characters" arguably makes the repeat case slightly
simpler. It really just boils down to "there's more of the line to be
copied".
So add the necessarily trivial logic, and now the N_TTY case will give
long result lines even when in canon mode.

With the conversion to do the tty ldisc read operations in small chunks,
the n_tty line discipline became noticeably slower for throughput
oriented loads, because rather than read things in up to 2kB chunks, it
would return at most 64 bytes per read() system call.
The cost is mainly all in the "do system calls over and over", not
really in the new "copy to an extra kernel buffer".
This can be fixed by teaching the n_tty line discipline about the
"cookie continuation" model, which the chunking code supports because
things like hdlc need to be able to handle packets up to 64kB in size.
Doing that doesn't just get us back to the old performace, but to much
better performance: my stupid "copy 10MB of data over a pty" test
program is now almost twice as fast as it used to be (going down from
0.1s to 0.054s).
This is entirely because it now creates maximal chunks (which happens to
be "one byte less than one page" due to how we do the circular tty
buffers).
NOTE! This case only handles the simpler non-icanon case, which is the
one where people may care about throughput. I'm going to do the icanon
case later too, because while performance isn't a major issue for that,
there may be programs that think they'll always get a full line and
don't like the 64-byte chunking for that reason.
Such programs are arguably buggy (signals etc can cause random partial
results from tty reads anyway), and good programs will handle such
partial reads, but expecting everybody to write "good programs" has
never been a winning policy for the kernel..

Back when the line disciplines did their own direct user accesses, they
had to deal with the data copy possibly failing in the middle.

The tty line discipline .read() function was passed the final user
pointer destination as an argument, which doesn't match the 'write()'
function, and makes it very inconvenient to do a splice method for
ttys.
This is a conversion to use a kernel buffer instead.
NOTE! It does this by passing the tty line discipline ->read() function
an additional "cookie" to fill in, and an offset into the cookie data.
The line discipline can fill in the cookie data with its own private
information, and then the reader will repeat the read until either the
cookie is cleared or it runs out of data.
The only real user of this is N_HDLC, which can use this to handle big
packets, even if the kernel buffer is smaller than the whole packet.

n_tty_flush_buffer can happen in parallel with n_tty_close that the
tty->disc_data will be set to NULL. n_tty_flush_buffer accesses
tty->disc_data, so we must prevent n_tty_close clear tty->disc_data
while n_tty_flush_buffer has a non-NULL view of tty->disc_data.
So we need to make sure that accesses to disc_data are atomic using
tty->termios_rwsem.
There is an example I meet:
When n_tty_flush_buffer accesses tty struct, the disc_data is right.
However, then reset_buffer_flags accesses tty->disc_data, disc_data
become NULL, So kernel crash when accesses tty->disc_data->real_tail.
I guess there could be another thread change tty->disc_data to NULL,
and during N_TTY line discipline, n_tty_close will set tty->disc_data
to be NULL. So use tty->termios_rwsem to protect disc_data between close
and flush_buffer.

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements
cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as
they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic
stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they
don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization
(via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also
doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase,
so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.
To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where
they're used or lift them up into the main function body.

The return from tty_write_room could potentially be negative if
a tty write_room driver returns an error number (not that any seem
to do). Rather than just check for a zero return, also check for
a -ve return. This avoids the unsigned nr being set to a large unsigned
value on the assignment from variable space and can lead to overflowing
the buffer buf. Better to be safe than assume all write_room
implementations in tty drivers are going to do the right thing.

There might be situations where tty_ldisc_lock() has blocked, but there
is already IO on tty and it prevents line discipline changes.
It might theoretically turn into dead-lock.
Basically, provide more priority to pending tty_ldisc_lock() than to
servicing reads/writes over tty.
User-visible issue was reported by Mikulas where on pa-risc with
Debian 5 reboot took either 80 seconds, 3 minutes or 3:25 after proper

syzbot is reporting stalls at __process_echoes() [1]. This is because
since ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail becomes true for some reason,
the discard loop is serving as almost infinite loop. This patch tries to
avoid falling into ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail situation by
making access to echo_* variables more carefully.
Since reset_buffer_flags() is called without output_lock held, it should
not touch echo_* variables. And omit a call to reset_buffer_flags() from
n_tty_open() by using vzalloc().
Since add_echo_byte() is called without output_lock held, it needs memory
barrier between storing into echo_buf[] and incrementing echo_head counter.
echo_buf() needs corresponding memory barrier before reading echo_buf[].
Lack of handling the possibility of not-yet-stored multi-byte operation
might be the reason of falling into ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail
situation, for if I do WARN_ON(ldata->echo_commit == tail + 1) prior to
echo_buf(ldata, tail + 1), the WARN_ON() fires.
Also, explicitly masking with buffer for the former "while" loop, and
use ldata->echo_commit > tail for the latter "while" loop.

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*

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.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

We added support for EXTPROC back in 2010 in commit 26df6d1340 ("tty:
Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE") and the intent was to allow it to
override some (all?) ICANON behavior. Quoting from that original commit
message:
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
but the problem turns out that "several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled" is a bit ambiguous, and you can really confuse the n_tty
layer by setting EXTPROC and then causing some of the ICANON invariants
to no longer be maintained.
This fixes at least one such case (TIOCINQ) becoming unhappy because of
the confusion over whether ICANON really means ICANON when EXTPROC is set.
This basically makes TIOCINQ match the case of read: if EXTPROC is set,
we ignore ICANON. Also, make sure to reset the ICANON state ie EXTPROC
changes, not just if ICANON changes.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to

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.

OpenSSH expects the (non-blocking) read() of pty master to return
EAGAIN only if it has received all of the slave-side output after
it has received SIGCHLD. This used to work on pre-3.12 kernels.
This fix effectively forces non-blocking read() and poll() to
block for parallel i/o to complete for all ttys. It also unwinds
these changes:

2) 52bce7f8d4

will cause tty_wakeup() to always call n_tty_write_wakeup.

Only the N_TTY line discipline implements the signal-driven i/o
notification enabled/disabled by fcntl(F_SETFL, O_ASYNC). The ldisc
fasync() notification is sent to the ldisc when the enable state has
changed (the tty core is notified via the fasync() VFS file operation).
The N_TTY line discipline used the enable state to change the wakeup
condition (minimum_to_wake = 1) for notifying the signal handler i/o is
available. However, just the presence of data is sufficient and necessary
to signal i/o is available, so changing minimum_to_wake is unnecessary
(and creates a race condition with read() and poll() which may be
concurrently updating minimum_to_wake).
Furthermore, since the kill_fasync() VFS helper performs no action if
the fasync list is empty, calling unconditionally is preferred; if
signal driven i/o just has been disabled, no signal will be sent by
kill_fasync() anyway so notification of the change via the ldisc
fasync() method is superfluous.

A read() in non-canonical mode when VMIN > 0 and VTIME == 0 does not
complete until at least VMIN chars have been read (or the user buffer is
full). In this infrequent read mode, n_tty_read() attempts to reduce
wakeups by computing the amount of data still necessary to complete the
read (minimum_to_wake) and only waking the read()/poll() when that much
unread data has been processed. This is the only read mode for which
new data does not necessarily generate a wakeup.
However, this optimization is broken and commonly leads to hung reads
even though the necessary amount of data has been received. Since the
optimization is of marginal value anyway, just remove the whole
thing. This also remedies a race between a concurrent poll() and
read() in this mode, where the poll() can reset the minimum_to_wake
of the read() (and vice versa).

In canonical read mode, each line read and logged is pushed separately
with tty_audit_push(). For all single-threaded processes and multi-threaded
processes reading from only one tty, this patch has no effect; the last line
read will still be the entry pushed to the audit log because the tty
association cannot have changed between tty_audit_add_data() and
tty_audit_push().
For multi-threaded processes reading from different ttys concurrently,
the audit log will have mixed log entries anyway. Consider two ttys
audited concurrently:
CPU0 CPU1
---------- ------------
tty_audit_add_data(ttyA)
tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
tty_audit_push()
tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
tty_audit_push()
This patch will now cause the ttyB output to be split into separate
audit log entries.
However, this possibility is equally likely without this patch:
CPU0 CPU1
---------- ------------
tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
tty_audit_add_data(ttyA)
tty_audit_push()
tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
tty_audit_push()
Mixed canonical and non-canonical reads have similar races.
