Torben Hohn ac751efa6a console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()
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.

Kay Sievers a2a6a822ad tty: use for_each_console() and WARN() on sysfs failures
This fixes the build warnings in the tty code, and uses the proper
function for iterating over the console devices.

Kay Sievers fbc92a3455 tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
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.

Jiri Slaby acfa747baf TTY: open/hangup race fixup
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);
}

Jiri Slaby e2efafbf13 TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing
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
 [<ffffffff8103b1b6>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17
 [<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, &ld1);
                ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ld2);
        }
        close(fd);
}

driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
