2016-01-27tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD)Peter Hurley
ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the ldisc because the line discipline id (c_line) in termios is untrustworthy; userspace may have set termios via ioctl(TCSETS*) without actually changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD). However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty->ldisc is unsafe; the ldisc ptr dereferenced may be stale if the line discipline is changing via ioctl(TIOCSETD) or hangup. Wait for the line discipline reference (just like read() or write()) to retrieve the "current" line discipline id.

2016-01-27tty: Retry failed reopen if tty teardown in-progressPeter Hurley
A small window exists where a tty reopen will observe the tty just prior to imminent teardown (tty->count == 0); in this case, open() returns EIO to userspace. Instead, retry the open after checking for signals and yielding; this interruptible retry loop allows teardown to commence and initialize a new tty on retry. Never retry the BSD master pty reopen; there is no guarantee the pty pair teardown is imminent since the slave file descriptors may remain open indefinitely.

Commit a3a10ce3429e ("Avoid usb reset crashes by making tty_io cdevs truly dynamic") which mixes using cdev_alloc() and cdev_init() is problematic. Subsequent call to cdev_init() after cdev_alloc() sets kobj release method from cdev_dynamic_release() to cdev_default_release() and thus makes it impossible to free allocated cdev.

If somebody ever changes wall time backwards (by mistake for example), tty timestamps are never updated until the original wall time passes. So check the absolute difference of times and if it large than "8 seconds or so", always update the time. That means we will update immediatelly when changing time. Ergo, CAP_SYS_TIME can foul the check, but it was always that way. Thanks John for serving me this so nicely debugged.

2014-11-06tty: Flush ldisc buffer atomically with tty flip buffersPeter Hurley
tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer, then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared. Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear. NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods, so a ->flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.

2014-11-06tty: Change tty lock order to master->slavePeter Hurley

Conversely, when releasing the slave pty, locking the master pty is not necessary (since the master's state can be inferred by the slave tty count). Introduce tty_lock_slave()/tty_unlock_slave() which acquires/releases the tty lock of the slave pty. Remove tty_lock_pair()/tty_unlock_pair().

Releasing the tty locks while waiting for the tty wait queues to be empty is no longer necessary nor desirable.

However, without needing the global tty_mutex held, the tty locks for the releasing tty can now be held through the sleep.

2014-11-06tty: Drop tty_mutex before tty reopenPeter Hurley
Holding tty_mutex for a tty re-open is no longer necessary since "tty: Clarify re-open behavior of master ptys". Because the slave tty count is no longer accessed by tty_reopen(), holding tty_mutex to prevent concurrent final tty_release() of the slave pty is not required. As with "tty: Re-open /dev/tty without tty_mutex", holding a tty kref until the tty_lock is acquired is sufficient to ensure the tty has not been freed, which, in turn, is sufficient to ensure the tty_lock can be safely acquired and the tty count can be safely retrieved. A non-zero tty count with the tty lock held guarantees that release_tty() has not run and cannot run concurrently with tty_reopen(). Change tty_driver_lookup_tty() to acquire the tty kref, which allows the tty_mutex to be dropped before acquiring the tty lock. Dropping the tty_mutex before attempting the tty_lock allows other ttys to be opened and released, without needing this tty_reopen() to complete.

2014-11-06tty: Re-open /dev/tty without tty_mutexPeter Hurley
Opening /dev/tty (ie., the controlling tty for the current task) is always a re-open of the underlying tty. Because holding the tty_lock is sufficient for safely re-opening a tty, and because having a tty kref is sufficient for safely acquiring the tty_lock [1], tty_open_current_tty() does not require holding tty_mutex. Repurpose tty_open_current_tty() to perform the re-open itself and refactor tty_open(). [1] Analysis of safely re-opening the current tty w/o tty_mutex get_current_tty() gets a tty kref from the already kref'ed tty value of current->signal->tty while holding the sighand lock for the current task. This guarantees that the tty pointer returned from get_current_tty() points to a tty which remains referenceable while holding the kref. Although release_tty() may run concurrently, and thus the driver reference may be removed, release_one_tty() cannot have run, and won't while holding the tty kref. This, in turn, guarantees the tty_lock() can safely be acquired (since tty->magic and tty->legacy_mutex are still a valid dereferences). The tty_lock() also gets a tty kref to prevent the tty_unlock() from dereferencing a released tty. Thus, the kref returned from get_current_tty() can be released. Lastly, the first operation of tty_reopen() is to check the tty count. If non-zero, this ensures release_tty() is not running concurrently, and the driver references have not been removed.
