License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues. When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong vfsmount is passed to dentry_open. Which results in the kernel displaying the wrong pathname for the peer. The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in regressions. To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is being called. This allows the path of the slave to be derived when opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to the slave be cached. Thus removing the need for caching the path. A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and used to implement a function devpts_mntget. The new function devpts_mntget takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock. v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work v3: Suggestions by Linus - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required [ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit 143c97cc6529, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to increased reference counts - Linus ] Fixes: 54ebbfb16034 ("tty: add TIOCGPTPEER ioctl") Reported-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@canonical.com> Reported-and-tested-by: Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.l-h@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

tty: cumulate and document tty_struct::flow* members Group the flow flags under a single struct called flow. The new struct contains 'stopped' and 'tco_stopped' bools which used to be bits in a bitfield. The struct also contains the lock protecting them to potentially share the same cache line. Note that commit c545b66c6922b (tty: Serialize tcflow() with other tty flow control changes) added a padding to the original bitfield. It was for the bitfield to occupy a whole 64b word to avoid interferring stores on Alpha (cannot we evaporate this arch with weird implications to C code yet?). But it doesn't work as expected as the padding (tty_struct::unused) is aligned to a 8B boundary too and occupies some bytes from the next word. So make it reliable by: 1) setting __aligned of the struct -- that aligns the start, and 2) making 'unsigned long unused[0]' as the last member of the struct -- pads the end. This is also the perfect time to start the documentation of tty_struct where all this lives. So we start by documenting what these bools actually serve for. And why we do all the alignment dances.

tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

tty: pty: Fix ldisc flush after userspace become aware of the data already While using emacs, cat or others' commands in konsole with recent kernels, I have met many times that CTRL-C freeze konsole. After konsole freeze I can't type anything, then I have to open a new one, it is very annoying. See bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175283 The platform in that bug report is Solaris, but now the pty in linux has the same problem or the same behavior as Solaris :) It has high possibility to trigger the problem follow steps below: Note: In my test, BigFile is a text file whose size is bigger than 1G 1:open konsole 1:cat BigFile 2:CTRL-C After some digging, I find out the reason is that commit 1d1d14da12e7 ("pty: Fix buffer flush deadlock") changes the behavior of pty_flush_buffer. Thread A Thread B -------- -------- 1:n_tty_poll return POLLIN 2:CTRL-C trigger pty_flush_buffer tty_buffer_flush n_tty_flush_buffer 3:attempt to check count of chars: ioctl(fd, TIOCINQ, &available) available is equal to 0 4:read(fd, buffer, avaiable) return 0 5:konsole close fd Yes, I know we could use the same patch included in the BUG report as a workaround for linux platform too. But I think the data in ldisc is belong to application of another side, we shouldn't clear it when we want to flush write buffer of this side in pty_flush_buffer. So I think it is better to disable ldisc flush in pty_flush_buffer, because its new hehavior bring no benefit except that it mess up the behavior between POLLIN, and TIOCINQ or FIONREAD. Also I find no flush_buffer function in others' tty driver has the same behavior as current pty_flush_buffer.

tty: tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY buffer On the embedded platform, certain critical data, such as IMU data, is transmitted through UART. The tty_flip_buffer_push() interface in the TTY layer uses system_dfl_wq to handle the flipping of the TTY buffer. Although the unbound workqueue can create new threads on demand and wake up the kworker thread on an idle CPU, it may be preempted by real-time tasks or other high-prio tasks. flush_to_ldisc() needs to wake up the relevant data handle thread. When executing __wake_up_common_lock(), it calls spin_lock_irqsave(), which does not disable preemption but disables migration in RT-Linux. This prevents the kworker thread from being migrated to other cores by CPU's balancing logic, resulting in long delays. The call trace is as follows: __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up ep_poll_callback __wake_up_common __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up n_tty_receive_buf_common n_tty_receive_buf2 tty_ldisc_receive_buf tty_port_default_receive_buf flush_to_ldisc In our system, the processing interval for each frame of IMU data transmitted via UART can experience significant jitter due to this issue. Instead of the expected 10 to 15 ms frame processing interval, we see spikes up to 30 to 35 ms. Moreover, in just one or two hours, there can be 2 to 3 occurrences of such high jitter, which is quite frequent. This jitter exceeds the software's tolerable limit of 20 ms. Introduce flip_wq in tty_port which can be set by tty_port_link_wq() or as default linked to default workqueue allocated when tty_register_driver(). The default workqueue is allocated with flag WQ_SYSFS, so that cpumask and nice can be set dynamically. The execution timing of tty_port_link_wq() is not clearly restricted. The newly added function tty_port_link_driver_wq() checks whether the flip_wq of the tty_port has already been assigned when linking the default tty_driver's workqueue to the port. After the user has set a custom workqueue for a certain tty_port using tty_port_link_wq(), the system will only use this custom workqueue, even if tty_driver does not have %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag. When tty_port register device, flip_wq link operation is done by tty_port_link_driver_wq(), but for in-memory devices the link operation cannot cover all the cases. Although tty_port_install() is dedicated for in-memory devices lik PTY to link port allocated on demand, the logic of tty_port_install() is so simple that people may not call it, vc_cons[0].d->port is one such case. We check the buf.flip_wq when flip TTY buffer, if buf.flip_wq of TTY port is NULL, use system_dfl_wq as a backup. To avoid naming conflict of the default tty_driver's workqueue, using '"%s-%s", driver->name, driver->driver_name' as the workqueue name. In cases where driver_name is not specified and therefore is NULL, the workqueue is not created. Drivers that do not define driver_name are potentially in-memory devices like vty, which generally do not require special workqueue settings. Even with the combination of name and driver_name, the workqueue names can still be duplicated, as many tty serial drivers use "ttyS" as dev_name and "serial" as driver_name. I modified the conflicting driver_name of these drivers by appending a suffix of _xx based on the corresponding .c file. If this modification is not made, it could not only lead to duplicate workqueue names but also result in duplicate entries for the /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name> nodes. Introduce %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag meaning not to create the default single tty_driver workqueue. Two reasons why need to introduce the %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag: 1. If the WQ_SYSFS parameter is enabled, workqueue_sysfs_register() will fail when trying to create a workqueue with the same name.

tty: tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY buffer On the embedded platform, certain critical data, such as IMU data, is transmitted through UART. The tty_flip_buffer_push() interface in the TTY layer uses system_dfl_wq to handle the flipping of the TTY buffer. Although the unbound workqueue can create new threads on demand and wake up the kworker thread on an idle CPU, it may be preempted by real-time tasks or other high-prio tasks. flush_to_ldisc() needs to wake up the relevant data handle thread. When executing __wake_up_common_lock(), it calls spin_lock_irqsave(), which does not disable preemption but disables migration in RT-Linux. This prevents the kworker thread from being migrated to other cores by CPU's balancing logic, resulting in long delays. The call trace is as follows: __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up ep_poll_callback __wake_up_common __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up n_tty_receive_buf_common n_tty_receive_buf2 tty_ldisc_receive_buf tty_port_default_receive_buf flush_to_ldisc In our system, the processing interval for each frame of IMU data transmitted via UART can experience significant jitter due to this issue. Instead of the expected 10 to 15 ms frame processing interval, we see spikes up to 30 to 35 ms. Moreover, in just one or two hours, there can be 2 to 3 occurrences of such high jitter, which is quite frequent. This jitter exceeds the software's tolerable limit of 20 ms. Introduce flip_wq in tty_port which can be set by tty_port_link_wq() or as default linked to default workqueue allocated when tty_register_driver(). The default workqueue is allocated with flag WQ_SYSFS, so that cpumask and nice can be set dynamically. The execution timing of tty_port_link_wq() is not clearly restricted. The newly added function tty_port_link_driver_wq() checks whether the flip_wq of the tty_port has already been assigned when linking the default tty_driver's workqueue to the port. After the user has set a custom workqueue for a certain tty_port using tty_port_link_wq(), the system will only use this custom workqueue, even if tty_driver does not have %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag. When tty_port register device, flip_wq link operation is done by tty_port_link_driver_wq(), but for in-memory devices the link operation cannot cover all the cases. Although tty_port_install() is dedicated for in-memory devices lik PTY to link port allocated on demand, the logic of tty_port_install() is so simple that people may not call it, vc_cons[0].d->port is one such case. We check the buf.flip_wq when flip TTY buffer, if buf.flip_wq of TTY port is NULL, use system_dfl_wq as a backup. To avoid naming conflict of the default tty_driver's workqueue, using '"%s-%s", driver->name, driver->driver_name' as the workqueue name. In cases where driver_name is not specified and therefore is NULL, the workqueue is not created. Drivers that do not define driver_name are potentially in-memory devices like vty, which generally do not require special workqueue settings. Even with the combination of name and driver_name, the workqueue names can still be duplicated, as many tty serial drivers use "ttyS" as dev_name and "serial" as driver_name. I modified the conflicting driver_name of these drivers by appending a suffix of _xx based on the corresponding .c file. If this modification is not made, it could not only lead to duplicate workqueue names but also result in duplicate entries for the /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name> nodes. Introduce %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag meaning not to create the default single tty_driver workqueue. Two reasons why need to introduce the %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag: 1. If the WQ_SYSFS parameter is enabled, workqueue_sysfs_register() will fail when trying to create a workqueue with the same name. The pty is an example of this; if both CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS and CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are enabled, the call to tty_register_driver() in unix98_pty_init() will fail. 2. Different TTY ports may be used for different tasks, which may require separate core binding control via workqueues. In this case, the workqueue created by default in the TTY driver is unnecessary.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in regressions. To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is being called. This allows the path of the slave to be derived when opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to the slave be cached. Thus removing the need for caching the path. A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and used to implement a function devpts_mntget.

tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code cleanup with no actual semantic changes. This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code for when we want to remove it again. Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to "dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller, it's simpler and easier to understand. The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in turn validated the tty pointer in the inode. That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty pointer when the dentry is removed". The new code just does dentry->d_fsdata = NULL; in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the obvious straightforward approach will do. The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

devpts: clean up interface to pty drivers This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that struct inode *ptmx_inode be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts. By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner, and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time, and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode. The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical: - the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *" instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now. NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code. - the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock. So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op (devpts_put_ref()). - the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info, not the ptmx inode. - because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just gets the ref on the superblock. - the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more straightforward. In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time. The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single /dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time. This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only an internal binding model.

devpts: fix null pointer dereference on failed memory allocation An ENOMEM when creating a pair tty in tty_ldisc_setup causes a null pointer dereference in devpts_kill_index because tty->link->driver_data is NULL. The oops was triggered with the pty stressor in stress-ng when in a low memory condition. tty_init_dev tries to clean up a tty_ldisc_setup ENOMEM error by calling release_tty, however, this ultimately tries to clean up the NULL pair'd tty in pty_unix98_remove, triggering the Oops. Add check to pty_unix98_remove to only clean up fsi if it is not NULL.

devpts: clean up interface to pty drivers This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that struct inode *ptmx_inode be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts. By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner, and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time, and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode. The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical: - the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *" instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now. NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code. - the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock. So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op (devpts_put_ref()). - the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info, not the ptmx inode. - because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just gets the ref on the superblock. - the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more straightforward. In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time. The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single /dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time. This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only an internal binding model.

devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code cleanup with no actual semantic changes. This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code for when we want to remove it again. Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to "dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller, it's simpler and easier to understand. The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in turn validated the tty pointer in the inode. That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty pointer when the dentry is removed". The new code just does dentry->d_fsdata = NULL; in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the obvious straightforward approach will do. The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

Revert "pty: fix the cached path of the pty slave file descriptor in the master" This reverts commit c8c03f1858331e85d397bacccd34ef409aae993c. It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason. The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X) are on different mounts. That was what caused us to have the wrong path in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node, with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts mount busy. And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by Stefan Lippers-Hollmann: "This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder 0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration file[3] attached). [...] Setting up build-essential (12.3) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-15) ... I: unmounting dev/ptmx filesystem W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)" apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice, but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs. So this commit has to be reverted. I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty in the master pty. The only thing that actually wants that slave pty path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the path at that time.

devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem. The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation.

devpts: clean up interface to pty drivers This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that struct inode *ptmx_inode be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts. By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner, and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time, and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode. The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical: - the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *" instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now. NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code. - the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock. So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op (devpts_put_ref()). - the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info, not the ptmx inode. - because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just gets the ref on the superblock. - the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more straightforward. In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time. The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single /dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/.

devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem. The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower copy does not end up getting used.

devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code cleanup with no actual semantic changes. This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code for when we want to remove it again. Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to "dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller, it's simpler and easier to understand. The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in turn validated the tty pointer in the inode. That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty pointer when the dentry is removed". The new code just does dentry->d_fsdata = NULL; in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the obvious straightforward approach will do. The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues. When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong vfsmount is passed to dentry_open. Which results in the kernel displaying the wrong pathname for the peer. The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in regressions. To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is being called. This allows the path of the slave to be derived when opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to the slave be cached. Thus removing the need for caching the path. A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and used to implement a function devpts_mntget. The new function devpts_mntget takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock. v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work v3: Suggestions by Linus - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required [ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit 143c97cc6529, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to increased reference counts - Linus ] Fixes: 54ebbfb16034 ("tty: add TIOCGPTPEER ioctl") Reported-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@canonical.com> Reported-and-tested-by: Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.l-h@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical: - the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *" instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now. NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code. - the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock. So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op (devpts_put_ref()). - the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info, not the ptmx inode. - because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just gets the ref on the superblock. - the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more straightforward. In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time. The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single /dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time. This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only an internal binding model.

devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem. The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower copy does not end up getting used.

devpts: clean up interface to pty drivers This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that struct inode *ptmx_inode be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts. By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner, and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time, and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode.

tty: tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY buffer On the embedded platform, certain critical data, such as IMU data, is transmitted through UART. The tty_flip_buffer_push() interface in the TTY layer uses system_dfl_wq to handle the flipping of the TTY buffer. Although the unbound workqueue can create new threads on demand and wake up the kworker thread on an idle CPU, it may be preempted by real-time tasks or other high-prio tasks. flush_to_ldisc() needs to wake up the relevant data handle thread. When executing __wake_up_common_lock(), it calls spin_lock_irqsave(), which does not disable preemption but disables migration in RT-Linux. This prevents the kworker thread from being migrated to other cores by CPU's balancing logic, resulting in long delays. The call trace is as follows: __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up ep_poll_callback __wake_up_common __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up n_tty_receive_buf_common n_tty_receive_buf2 tty_ldisc_receive_buf tty_port_default_receive_buf flush_to_ldisc In our system, the processing interval for each frame of IMU data transmitted via UART can experience significant jitter due to this issue. Instead of the expected 10 to 15 ms frame processing interval, we see spikes up to 30 to 35 ms. Moreover, in just one or two hours, there can be 2 to 3 occurrences of such high jitter, which is quite frequent. This jitter exceeds the software's tolerable limit of 20 ms. Introduce flip_wq in tty_port which can be set by tty_port_link_wq() or as default linked to default workqueue allocated when tty_register_driver(). The default workqueue is allocated with flag WQ_SYSFS, so that cpumask and nice can be set dynamically. The execution timing of tty_port_link_wq() is not clearly restricted. The newly added function tty_port_link_driver_wq() checks whether the flip_wq of the tty_port has already been assigned when linking the default tty_driver's workqueue to the port. After the user has set a custom workqueue for a certain tty_port using tty_port_link_wq(), the system will only use this custom workqueue, even if tty_driver does not have %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag. When tty_port register device, flip_wq link operation is done by tty_port_link_driver_wq(), but for in-memory devices the link operation cannot cover all the cases. Although tty_port_install() is dedicated for in-memory devices lik PTY to link port allocated on demand, the logic of tty_port_install() is so simple that people may not call it, vc_cons[0].d->port is one such case. We check the buf.flip_wq when flip TTY buffer, if buf.flip_wq of TTY port is NULL, use system_dfl_wq as a backup. To avoid naming conflict of the default tty_driver's workqueue, using '"%s-%s", driver->name, driver->driver_name' as the workqueue name. In cases where driver_name is not specified and therefore is NULL, the workqueue is not created. Drivers that do not define driver_name are potentially in-memory devices like vty, which generally do not require special workqueue settings. Even with the combination of name and driver_name, the workqueue names can still be duplicated, as many tty serial drivers use "ttyS" as dev_name and "serial" as driver_name. I modified the conflicting driver_name of these drivers by appending a suffix of _xx based on the corresponding .c file. If this modification is not made, it could not only lead to duplicate workqueue names but also result in duplicate entries for the /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name> nodes. Introduce %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag meaning not to create the default single tty_driver workqueue. Two reasons why need to introduce the %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag: 1. If the WQ_SYSFS parameter is enabled, workqueue_sysfs_register() will fail when trying to create a workqueue with the same name. The pty is an example of this; if both CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS and CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are enabled, the call to tty_register_driver() in unix98_pty_init() will fail. 2. Different TTY ports may be used for different tasks, which may require separate core binding control via workqueues. In this case, the workqueue created by default in the TTY driver is unnecessary. Enabling this flag prevents the creation of this redundant workqueue. After applying this patch, we can set the related UART TTY flip buffer workqueue by sysfs. We set the cpumask to CPU cores associated with the IMU tasks, and set the nice to -20. Testing has shown significant improvement in the previously described issue, with almost no stuttering occurring anymore.
