593fb1ae45 pps: Move timestamp read into PPS code proper
The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of
unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading
to its breakage.

The previous patches fixed the crashing.  This one reduces coupling further
by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method.
This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic,
and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the
ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

Fix attendant build breakage in
    drivers/tty/n_tty.c
    drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c
    drivers/staging/speakup/selection.c
    drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_*.c

98001214c0 tty: Use raw spin lock to protect the TTY read section
The "normal" spin lock that guards the N_TTY line discipline read section
is replaced by a raw spin lock.

On a PREEMP_RT system this prevents unwanted scheduling overhead when data is
read at the same time as data is being received: while RX IRQ threaded handling
is busy a TTY read call is performed from a RT priority > threaded IRQ priority.
The read call tries to take the read section spin lock (held by the threaded
IRQ) which blocks and causes a context switch to/from the threaded IRQ handler
until the spin lock is unlocked.

ecbbfd44a0 TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port
So this is it. The big step why we did all the work over the past

from doing that big step.

The buffers are now in the tty_port structure and we can start
teaching the buffer helpers (insert char/string, flip etc.) to use
tty_port instead of tty_struct all around.

3383427a7b TTY: n_tty, remove bogus checks
* BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty ==
  NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where
  we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from
  tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too.
* if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's
  open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have
  a tty and dereference that.
* BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid
  check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the
  check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but
  no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be
  no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for.
* if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never
  happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a
  reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be
  called until the reference is dropped.
* if (WARN_ON(!tty->read_buf)) in n_tty_read -- the same as in the
  previous case.

090abf7b91 n_tty: Don't lose characters when PARMRK is enabled
When PARMRK is set and large transfers of characters that will get
marked are being received, n_tty could drop data silently (i.e.
without reporting any error to the client). This is because
characters have the potential to take up to three bytes in the line
discipline (when they get marked with parity or framing errors), but
the amount of free space reported to tty_buffer flush_to_ldisc (via
tty->receive_room) is based on the pre-marked data size.

With this patch, the n_tty layer will no longer assume that each byte
will only take up one byte in the line discipline. Instead, it will
make an overly conservative estimate that each byte will take up
three bytes in the line discipline when PARMRK is set.

3fa10cc83f TTY: n_tty, do not dereference user buffer
copy_from_read_buf currently copies data to a user buffer and then
checks if the data is single EOF. But it checks it by accessing the
user buffer. First, the buffer may be changed by other threads of the
user program already. Second, it accesses the buffer without any
checks. It might be write-only for example.

Fix this by inspecting contents of the tty (kernel) buffer instead.
Note that "n == 1" is necessary, but not sufficient. But we check
later that there is nothing left by "!tty->read_cnt" condition.

There is still an issue with the current code that EOF being wrapped
to the start of the circular buffer will result in an inappropriate
losing of the EOF character. But this is not intended to be fixed by
this patch.

55db4c64ed Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"
This reverts commit b1c43f82c5.

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 a5660b41af: "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 a5660b41af.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

a5660b41af tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up
Commit f23eb2b2b2 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.

With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.

Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work.  That's what we should
have been doing anyway.

This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592

which is that silly flushing done every timer tick.  Wasting both power
and CPU for no good reason.
