* tty: implement BTM as mutex instead of BKLArnd Bergmann2010-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tty locking now follows the rules for mutexes, so we can replace the BKL usage with a new subsystem wide mutex. Using a regular mutex here will change the behaviour when blocked on the BTM from spinning to sleeping, but that should not be visible to the user. Using the mutex also means that all the BTM is now covered by lockdep.

* char drivers: RAM oops/panic loggerMarco Stornelli2010-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ramoops, like mtdoops, can log oops/panic information but in RAM. It can be used with persistent RAM for systems without flash support. In addition, for this systems, with this driver, it's no more needed add to the kernel the mtd subsystem with advantage in footprint. It can be used in a very easy way with persistent RAM for systems without flash support. For these systems, with this driver, it is no longer required to cinlude mtd subsystem with an advantage in footprint. In addition, you can save flash space and store this information only in RAM.

| * powerpc: udbg-based backend for hvc_consoleDavid Gibson2008-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working runtime console in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind of a hack - since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but it's really useful during bringup. This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will later be replaced by something else.

* | [S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console supportHendrik Brueckner2008-12-25
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV). The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network and allows access even if there is no network connection between two z/VM guest virtual machines. The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus, provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions. Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end. A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

The common code between the two drivers is largely shared. Significant differences exists between this driver and what is supported in the EDK drivers. In particular, most of the architecture-specific code for reconfiguring individual FPGA resources has been removed. This functionality is likely better provided in a user-space support library. In addition, read and write access is supported. In addition, although the xps_hwicap cores support interrupt-driver mode, this driver only supports polled operation, in order to make the code simpler, and since the interrupt processing overhead is likely to slow down the throughput under Linux.

* Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it necessary to audit TTY output as well. Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still work). TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly useless audit events. Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel. The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone). Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the special memory driver (mspec) based on the do_no_pfn approach. The driver is currently used only on SN2 hardware with special fetchop support but could be beneficial on other architectures using the uncached mode.

* [POWERPC] iseries: A new iSeries consoleStephen Rothwell2006-07-13
| | | | | | | | | This driver uses the hvc_console.c infrastructure that is used by the pSeries virtual and RTAS consoles. This will allow us to make viocons.c obsolete and is another step along the way to a combined kernel (as viocons could not coexist with CONFIG_VT).
