      TTY: add port -> tty link · 967fab69
      Jiri Slaby authored
      For that purpose we have to temporarily introduce a second tty back
      pointer into tty_port. It is because serial layer, and maybe others,
      still do not use tty_port_tty_set/get. So that we cannot set the
      tty_port->tty to NULL at will now.
      
      Yes, the fix would be to convert whole serial layer and all its users
      to tty_port_tty_set/get. However we are in the process of removing the
      need of tty in most of the call sites, so this would lead to a
      duplicated work.
      
      Instead we have now tty_port->itty (internal tty) which will be used
      only in flush_to_ldisc. For that one it is ensured that itty is valid
      wherever the work is run. IOW, the work is synchronously cancelled
      before we set itty to NULL and also before hangup is processed.
      
      After we need only tty_port and not tty_struct in most code, this
      shall be changed to tty_port_tty_set/get and itty removed completely.

      TTY: tty_buffer, cache pointer to tty->buf · 5cff39c6
      Jiri Slaby authored
      During the move of tty buffers from tty_struct to tty_port, we will
      need to switch all users of buf to tty->port->buf. There are many
      functions where this is accessed directly in their code many times.
      Cache the tty->buf pointer in such functions now and change only
      single lines in each function in the next patch.
      
      Not that it is convenient for the next patch, but the code is now also
      more readable.

      TTY: move TTY_FLUSH* flags to tty_port · 2fc20661
      Jiri Slaby authored
      They are only TTY buffers specific. And the buffers will go to
      tty_port in the next patches. So to remove the need to have both
      tty_port and tty_struct at some places, let us move the flags to
      tty_port.

      This is a private member of n_tty. Stop accessing it. Instead, take is

      TTY: n_tty, remove bogus checks · 3383427a
      Jiri Slaby authored
      * BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty ==
        NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where
        we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from
        tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too.
      * if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's
        open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have
        a tty and dereference that.
      * BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid
        check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the
        check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but
        no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be
        no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for.
      * if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never
        happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a
        reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be
        called until the reference is dropped.
      * if (WARN_ON(!tty->read_buf)) in n_tty_read -- the same as in the
        previous case.

      TTY: n_tty, simplify read_buf+echo_buf allocation · b91939f5
      Jiri Slaby authored
      ldisc->open and close are called only once and cannot cross. So the
      tests in open and close are superfluous. Remove them. (But leave sets
      to NULL to ensure there is not a bug somewhere.)
      
      And when the tests are gone, handle properly failures in open. We
      leaked read_buf if allocation of echo_buf failed before. Now this is
      not the case anymore.

      TTY: hci_ldisc, remove invalid check in open · f327b340
      Jiri Slaby authored
      hci_ldisc's open checks if tty_struct->disc_data is set. And if so it
      returns with an error. But nothing ensures disc_data to be NULL. And
      since ld->ops->open shall be called only once, we do not need the
      check at all. So remove it.
      
      Note that this is not an issue now, but n_tty will start using the
      disc_data pointer and this invalid 'if' would trigger then rendering
      TTYs over BT unusable.

      TTY: ldisc, wait for idle ldisc in release · 31e12128
      Jiri Slaby authored
      We reintroduced tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2 (TTY: restore
      tty_ldisc_wait_idle) and used in set_ldisc. Then we added it also to
      the hangup path in 92f6fa09 (TTY: ldisc, do not close until there
      are readers). And we noted that there is one more path:
      ~   Before 65b77046 tty_ldisc_wait_idle was called also from
      ~   tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think
      ~   we need to restore that one.
      
      Well, I was wrong. There might still be holders of an ldisc
      reference. Not from userspace, but drivers. If they take a reference
      and a user closes the device immediately after that, we have a
      problem. ldisc is halted and closed by TTY, but the driver still may
      call some ldisc's operation and cause a crash.
      
      So restore the tty_ldisc_wait_idle call also to the third location
      where it was before 65b77046 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count
      into a proper refcount). Now we should be safe with respect to the
      ldisc reference counting as all* tty_ldisc_close paths are safely
      called with reference count of one.
      
      * Not the one in tty_ldisc_setup's fail path. But that is called
        before the first open finishes. So userspace does not see it yet.
        Even thought the driver is given the TTY already via ->install, it
        should not take a reference to the ldisc yet. If some driver is to
        do this, we should put one tty_ldisc_wait_idle also in the setup.

      TTY: vt, fix paste_selection ldisc handling · 7ee00fdb
      Jiri Slaby authored
      There used to be a single tty_ldisc_ref_wait. But then, when a
      big-tty-mutex (BTM) was introduced, it has to be tty_ldisc_ref +
      tty_unlock + tty_ldisc_ref_wait + tty_lock. Later, BTM was removed
      from that path and tty_ldisc_ref + tty_ldisc_ref_wait remained there.
      But it makes no sense now. So leave there only tty_ldisc_ref_wait.
      
      And when we have a reference to an ldisc, actually use it in the loop.
      Otherwise it may be racy.

      TTY: move devpts kill to pty · fa2ecfc5
      Jiri Slaby authored
      Now that we have control over tty->driver_data in pty, we can just
      kill the /dev/pts/ in pty code too. Namely, in ->shutdown hook of
      tty. For pty, this is called only once, for whichever end is closed
      last. But we don't care, both driver_data are the inode as it used to
      be till now.

      It should be used solely by the driver's code, pty in this case.
      
      For the cleanup of layering, we will need the inode created in
      devpts_pty_new to be stored into slave's driver_data. So we convert
      devpts_pty_new to return the inode or an ERR_PTR-encoded error in case
      of failure.
      
      The move of 'inode = new_inode(sb);' from declarators to the code is
      only cosmetical, but it makes the code easier to read.

      tty: prevent unnecessary work queue lock checking on flip buffer copy · cee4ad1e
      Ivo Sieben authored
      When low_latency flag is set the TTY receive flip buffer is copied to the
      line discipline directly instead of using a work queue in the background.
      Therefor only in case a workqueue is actually used for copying data to the
      line discipline we'll have to flush the workqueue.
      
      This prevents unnecessary spin lock/unlock on the workqueue spin lock that
      can cause additional scheduling overhead on a PREEMPT_RT system. On a 200
      MHz AT91SAM9261 processor setup this fixes about 100us of scheduling
      overhead on the TTY read call.

      console: implement lockdep support for console_lock · daee7797
      Daniel Vetter authored
      Dave Airlie recently discovered a locking bug in the fbcon layer,
      where a timer_del_sync (for the blinking cursor) deadlocks with the
      timer itself, since both (want to) hold the console_lock:
      
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36
      
      Unfortunately the console_lock isn't a plain mutex and hence has no
      lockdep support. Which resulted in a few days wasted of tracking down
      this bug (complicated by the fact that printk doesn't show anything
      when the console is locked) instead of noticing the bug much earlier
      with the lockdep splat.
      
      Hence I've figured I need to fix that for the next deadlock involving
      console_lock - and with kms/drm growing ever more complex locking
      that'll eventually happen.
      
      Now the console_lock has rather funky semantics, so after a quick irc
      discussion with Thomas Gleixner and Dave Airlie I've quickly ditched
      the original idead of switching to a real mutex (since it won't work)
      and instead opted to annotate the console_lock with lockdep
      information manually.
      
      There are a few special cases:
      - The console_lock state is protected by the console_sem, and usually
        grabbed/dropped at _lock/_unlock time. But the suspend/resume code
        drops the semaphore without dropping the console_lock (see
        suspend_console/resume_console). But since the same thread that did
        the suspend will do the resume, we don't need to fix up anything.
      
      - In the printk code there's a special trylock, only used to kick off
        the logbuffer printk'ing in console_unlock. But all that happens
        while lockdep is disable (since printk does a few other evil
        tricks). So no issue there, either.
      
      - The console_lock can also be acquired form irq context (but only
        with a trylock). lockdep already handles that.
      
      This all leaves us with annotating the normal console_lock, _unlock
      and _trylock functions.
      
      And yes, it works - simply unloading a drm kms driver resulted in
      lockdep complaining about the deadlock in fbcon_deinit:

      arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly code · aeed41a9
      Marc Zyngier authored
      An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
      is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
      even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:
      
      ENTRY(func1)
      	mov	x0, xzr
      ENDPROC(func1)
      	// fall through
      ENTRY(func2)
      	mov	x0, #1
      	ret
      ENDPROC(func2)
      
      Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
      architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
      
      The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
      of proper AArch64 NOPs.

      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      * The python binding needs to link with libtraceevent and to initialize
        the 'page_size' variable so that mmaping works again.
      
      * The callchain folding character that appears on the TUI just before
        the overhead had disappeared due to recent changes, add it back.
      
      * Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
        even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either
        results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing'
        the virtual machine.  Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and
        re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
      
        Kernel side enforcement fix by Peter Zijlstra, tooling side fix by David Ahern.
      
      * Fix build on sparc due to UAPI, fix from David Miller.
      
      * Fixes for the srclike sort key for unresolved symbols and when processing
        samples in JITted code, where we don't have an ELF file, just an special
        symbol table, fixes from Namhyung Kim.
      
      * Fix some leaks in libtraceevent, from Steven Rostedt.

      MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the search · caabe240
      David Howells authored
      Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
      signature data instead of before it.  This allows module_sig_check() to
      be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
      magic string.  Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().
      
      This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
      fixed-length signature information block.  This block then falls
      immediately prior to the magic number.
      
      From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
      the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
      data.
