After the ldisc is released, but before the tty is destroyed, the termios
is saved (in tty_free_termios()); this termios is restored if a new
tty is created on next open(). However, the line discipline is always
reset, which is not obvious in the current method. Instead, reset
as part of the restore.
Restore the original line discipline, which may not have been N_TTY.

ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the

changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD).
However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty->ldisc is

Instead, retry the open after checking for signals and yielding;

NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in

ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line

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.

Re-opening master ptys is not allowed. Once opened and for the remaining
lifetime of the master pty, its tty count is 1. If its tty count has
dropped to 0, then the master pty was closed and TTY_CLOSING was set,
and destruction may begin imminently.
Besides the normal case of a legacy BSD pty master being re-opened
(which always returns -EIO), this code is only reachable in 2 degenerate
cases:
1. The pty master is the controlling terminal (this is possible through
the TIOCSCTTY ioctl). pty masters are not designed to be controlling
terminals and it's an oversight that tiocsctty() ever let that happen.
The attempted open of /dev/tty will always fail. No known program does
this.
2. The legacy BSD pty slave was opened first. The slave open will fail
in pty_open() and tty_release() will commence. But before tty_release()
claims the tty_mutex, there is a very small window where a parallel
master open might succeed. In a test of racing legacy BSD slave and
master parallel opens, where:
slave open attempts: 10000 success:4527 failure:5473
master open attempts: 11728 success:5789 failure:5939
only 8 master open attempts would have succeeded reaching this code and
successfully opened the master pty. This case is not possible with
SysV ptys.
Always return -EIO if a master pty is re-opened or the slave is opened
first and the master opened in parallel (for legacy BSD ptys).
Furthermore, now that changing the slave's count is not required,
the tty_lock is sufficient for preventing concurrent changes to the
tty being re-opened (or failing re-opening).

Setting the controlling terminal for a session occurs with either
the first open of a non-pty master tty or with ioctl(TIOCSCTTY).
Since only the session leader can set the controlling terminal for
a session (and the session leader cannot change), it is not
necessary to prevent a process from attempting to set different
ttys as the controlling terminal concurrently.
So it's only necessary to prevent the same tty from becoming the
controlling terminal for different session leaders. The tty_lock()
is sufficient to prevent concurrent proc_set_tty() for the same
tty.
Remove the tty_mutex lock region; add tty_lock() to tiocsctty().
While this may appear to allow a race condition between opening
the controlling tty via tty_open_current_tty() and stealing the
controlling tty via ioctl(TIOCSCTTY, 1), that race condition already
existed. Even if the tty_mutex prevented stealing the controlling tty
while tty_open_current_tty() returned the original controlling tty,
it cannot prevent stealing the controlling tty before tty_open() returns.
Thus, tty_open() could already return a no-longer-controlling tty when
opening /dev/tty.

Claim a read lock on the tasklist_lock while setting the controlling
terminal for the session leader. This fixes multiple races:
1. task_pgrp() and task_session() cannot be safely dereferenced, such
as passing to get_pid(), without holding either rcu_read_lock() or
tasklist_lock
2. setsid() unwisely allows any thread in the thread group to
make the thread group leader the session leader; this makes the
unlocked reads of ->signal->leader and signal->tty potentially
unordered, stale or even have spurious values.

Kernel oops can cause the tty to be unreleaseable (for example, if
n_tty_read() crashes while on the read_wait queue). This will cause
tty_release() to endlessly loop without sleeping.
Use a killable sleep timeout which grows by 2n+1 jiffies over the interval
[0, 120 secs.) and then jumps to forever (but still killable).
NB: killable just allows for the task to be rewoken manually, not
to be terminated.

When a master pty is set to packet mode, flow control changes to
the slave pty cause notifications to the master pty via reads and
polls. However, these tests are occurring for all ttys, not
just ptys.
Implement flow control packet mode notifications in the pty driver.
Only the slave side implements the flow control handlers since
packet mode is asymmetric; the master pty receives notifications
for slave-side changes, but not vice versa.

Without serialization, the flow control state can become inverted
wrt. the actual hardware state. For example,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
stop_tty() |
lock ctrl_lock |
tty->stopped = 1 |
unlock ctrl_lock |
| start_tty()
| lock ctrl_lock
| tty->stopped = 0
| unlock ctrl_lock
| driver->start()
driver->stop() |
In this case, the flow control state now indicates the tty has
been started, but the actual hardware state has actually been stopped.
Introduce tty->flow_lock spinlock to serialize tty flow control changes.

The 'active' sysfs attribute should refer to the currently active tty
devices the console is running on, not the currently active console. The
console structure doesn't refer to any device in sysfs, only the tty the
console is running on has. So we need to print out the tty names in
'active', not the console names.
There is one special-case, which is tty0. If the console is directed to
it, we want 'tty0' to show up in the file, so user-space knows that the
messages get forwarded to the active VT. The ->device() callback would
resolve tty0, though. Hence, treat it special and don't call into the VT
layer to resolve it (plymouth is known to depend on it).

A common security idiom is to hangup the current tty (via vhangup())
after forking but before execing a root shell. This hangs up any
existing opens which other processes may have and ensures subsequent
opens have the necessary permissions to open the root shell tty/pty.
Reset the TTY_HUPPED state after the driver has successfully
returned the opened tty (perform the reset while the tty is locked
to avoid racing with concurrent hangups).

Starting from v3.10 (probably commit f91e259041: "tty: Signal
foreground group processes in hangup") disassociate_ctty() sends SIGCONT
if tty && on_exit. This breaks LSB test-suite, in particular test8 in
_exit.c and test40 in sigcon5.c.
Put the "!on_exit" check back to restore the old behaviour.
Review by Peter Hurley:
"Yes, this regression was introduced by me in that commit. The effect
of the regression is that ptys will receive a SIGCONT when, in similar
circumstances, ttys would not.
The fact that two test vectors accidentally tripped over this
regression suggests that some other apps may as well.
Thanks for catching this"

Instrumented testing shows a tty can be hungup multiple times [1].
Although concurrent hangups are properly serialized, multiple
hangups for the same tty should be prevented.
If tty has already been HUPPED, abort hangup. Note it is not
necessary to cleanup file *redirect on subsequent hangups,
as only TIOCCONS can set that value and ioctls are disabled
after hangup.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.
The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.
Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit
b0de59b573: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then
limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c765: "TTY:
fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both
insufficient and overkill.
It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node
to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill
because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an
idle person from an active one with 'w'.
So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx
node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few
seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual
keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is
active or not.
