4001d7b7fc vt: push down the tty lock so we can see what is left to tackle
At this point we have the tty_lock guarding a couple of oddities, plus the
translation and unimap still.

We also extend the console_lock in a couple of spots where coverage is wrong
and switch vcs_open to use the right lock !

[Fixed the locking issue Jiri reported]

0e648f42f2 tty: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to exporters
With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence
of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed.
Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the
device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now.

5edc341313 drivers: remove extraneous includes of smp_lock.h
These were missed the last time I cleaned this up
globally, because of code moving around or new code
getting merged.

fcdba07ee3 tty,vcs removing con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
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.

dc1892c4bc tty,vcs: lseek/VC-release race fix
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:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

        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;
}

ac751efa6a console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()
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.

47c344d0bd vcs: make proper usage of the poll flags
Kay Sievers pointed out that usage of POLLIN is well defined by POSIX,
and the current usage here doesn't follow that definition.  So let's
duplicate the same semantics as implemented by sysfs_poll() instead.
