* tty: Termios locking - sort out real_tty confusions and lock readsAlan Cox2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | This moves us towards sanity and should mean our termios locking is now complete and comprehensive. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* tty: use krefs to protect driver module countsAlan Cox2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | The tty layer keeps driver module counts that are used so the driver knows when it can be unloaded. For obvious reasons we want to tie that to the refcounting properly. At this point the driver side itself isn't refcounted nicely but we can do that later and kref the drivers.

* tty: Add a kref countAlan Cox2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | Introduce a kref to the tty structure and use it to protect the tty->signal tty references. For now we don't introduce it for anything else. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* tty: Split tty_port into its own fileAlan Cox2008-10-13

* tty: split the buffering from tty_ioAlan Cox2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | The two are basically independent chunks of code so lets split them up for readability and sanity. It also makes the API boundaries much clearer. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* tty: move tioclinux from a special caseAlan Cox2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | Right now we have ifdefs and hooks in the core ioctl handler for TIOCLINUX and then test if its a console. This is brain dead. Instead call the tioclinux helper from the relevant driver ioctl methods. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* kgdboc,tty: Fix tty polling search to use name correctlyJason Wessel2008-09-26
| | | | | | | | | The tty_find_polling_driver() routine did not correctly check the base part of the tty name. This can lead to kgdboc selecting an incorrect driver, as well as accepting a completely invalid tty such as "echo ffff0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc".

* tty: Fix termios tty window resize race with pty/tty pairAlan Cox2008-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held for the right side. This implements the fix differently against the updated tty code. Patch by self but the hard bit (noticing and fixing the bug) is thanks to Kanru Chen. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* tty: remove resize window special caseAlan Cox2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | This moves it to being a tty operation. That removes special cases and now also means that resize can be picked up by um and other non vt consoles which may have a resize operation.

* tty: Introduce a tty_port common structureAlan Cox2008-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | Every tty driver has its own concept of a port structure and because they all differ we cannot extract commonality. Begin fixing this by creating a structure drivers can elect to use so that over time we can push fields into this and create commonality and then introduce common methods.

* tty: Ldisc revampAlan Cox2008-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement. For the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty. Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the code that automatically disables TTY input auditing in processes that open TTYs when they have no other TTY open; this heuristic was intended to automatically handle daemons, but it has false positives (e.g. with sshd) that make it impossible to control TTY input auditing from a PAM module. With this patch, TTY input auditing is controlled from user-space only. On the other hand, not even for daemons does it make sense to audit "input" from PTY masters; this data was produced by a program writing to the PTY slave, and does not represent data entered by the user.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

* pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking at the code for a long time. The proposals are to * equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to represent that fact, * and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making the common prefix of the same name. For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

* fix serial buffer memory leakAlan Cox2007-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch c5c34d4862e18ef07c1276d233507f540fb5a532 (tty: flush flip buffer on ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory leaks. The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc(). flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost forever without being released. (Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting the bug) - Use tty->flags bits for the flush status. - Wait for the flag to clear again before returning - Fix the doc error noted - Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurentp@cse-semaphore.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
