2011-06-04Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

2011-04-22tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes receivedFelipe Balbi
it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB serial gadget driver.

2011-04-19tty: Clean console safelyPetr Písař
Traditional \E[2J sequence erases console display but scroll-back buffer and underlying device (frame) buffer keep data that can be accessed by scrolling console back. This patch introduce new \E[J parameter 3 that allows to scramble scroll-back buffer explicitly. Session locking programs (screen, vlock) can use it to prevent attacker to browse locked console history.

2011-03-24lib, arch: add filter argument to show_mem and fix private implementationsDavid Rientjes
Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own versions of show_mem(): lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem': show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem' arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in all implementations to prevent this breakage. Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the generic implementation.

2011-02-17tty,vcs removing con_buf/conf_buf_mtxJiri Olsa
seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data. The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this, is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer. Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history goes - 2.6.12-rc2. AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change. The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing. I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did not find any pattern on different places. I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.

2011-02-17tty,vcs: lseek/VC-release race fixJiri Olsa
there's a race between vcs's lseek handler and VC release. The lseek handler does not hold console_lock and touches VC's size info. If during this the VC got released, there's an access violation. Following program triggers the issue for me: [SNIP] #define _BSD_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <linux/vt.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> static int run_seek(void) { while(1) { int fd; fd = open("./vcs30", O_RDWR); while(lseek(fd, 0, 0) != -1); close(fd); } } static int open_ioctl_tty(void) { return open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR); } static int do_ioctl(int fd, int req, int i) { return ioctl(fd, req, i); } #define INIT(i) do_ioctl(ioctl_fd, VT_ACTIVATE, i) #define SHUT(i) do_ioctl(ioctl_fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, i) int main(int argc, char **argv) { int ioctl_fd = open_ioctl_tty(); if (ioctl < 0) { perror("open tty1 failed\n"); return -1; } if ((-1 == mknod("vcs30", S_IFCHR|0666, makedev(7, 30))) && (errno != EEXIST)) { printf("errno %d\n", errno); perror("failed to create vcs30"); return -1; } do_ioctl(ioctl_fd, VT_LOCKSWITCH, 0); if (!fork()) run_seek(); while(1) { INIT(30); SHUT(30); } return 0; } [SNIP] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-01-26console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()Torben Hohn
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.

2011-01-22vt: fix issue when fbcon wants to takeover a second time.Dave Airlie
With framebuffer handover and multiple GPUs, we get into a position where the fbcon unbinds the vesafb framebuffer for GPU 1, but we still have a radeon framebuffer bound from GPU 0, so we don't unregister the console driver. Then when we tried to bind the new radeon framebuffer for GPU1 we never get to the bind call as we fail due to the console being registered already. This changes the return value to -EBUSY when the driver is already registered and continues to bind for -EBUSY.

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.
