Kay Sievers 3c95c985fa tty: add TIOCVHANGUP to allow clean tty shutdown of all ttys
This is useful for system management software so that it can kick
off things like gettys and everything that's started from a tty,
before we reuse it from/for something else or shut it down.

Without this ioctl it would have to temporarily become the owner of
the tty, then call vhangup() and then give it up again.

Werner Fink b7b8de0873 TTY: Add tty ioctl to figure device node of the system console.
This has been in the SuSE kernels for a very long time.

Jeff Mahoney 8bc3372d9e ioctl: Use asm-generic/ioctls.h on cris (enables termiox)
This patch converts cris to use asm-generic/ioctls.h instead of its
own version.

The differences between the arch-specific version and the generic
version are as follows:

- CRIS defines two ioctls: TIOCSERSETRS485 and TIOCSERWRRS485,
  kept in arch-specific portion
- CRIS defines a different value for TIOCSRS485, kept via ifndef in generic
- The generic version adds support for termiox

hyc@symas.com 26df6d1340 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.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

Jeff Dike 39e5322c07 tty: Remove Hayes ESP ioctls
Remove Hayes ESP ioctls

The Hayes ESP driver has been removed from the tree:
commit f53a2ade0b
("tty: esp: remove broken driver")
so its ioctls aren't needed any more.

Arnd Bergmann 6103ec56c6 asm-generic: add generic ABI headers
These header files are typically copied from an existing architecture
into any new one, slightly modified and then remain untouched until
the end of time in the name of ABI stability.

To make it easier for future architectures, provide a sane generic
version here. In cases where multiple architectures already use
identical code, I used the most common version. In cases like
stat.h that are more or less broken everywhere, I provide a
version that is meant to be ideal for new architectures.
