tty: rocket: drop broken alt-speed support

2017-06-13T09:49:58Z

Setting an alt_speed using the ROCKET_SPD flags has been deprecated since v2.1.69, and has been broken since commit 6865ff222cca ("TTY: do not warn about setting speed via SPD_*") without anyone noticing. To make things worse commit 6df3526b6649 ("rocket: first pass at termios reporting") in v2.6.25 started reporting back the actual baud rate used, something which also required 38400 to again be set whenever changing a SPD flag. Drop the broken alt-speed handling altogether, and add a ratelimited warning about using TIOCCSERIAL to change speed as being deprecated. Note that the rocket driver has never supported using a custom divisor (ASYNC_SPD_CUST equivalent).

Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/tty/

2017-04-20T11:02:32Z

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a device to access or modify the kernel image. To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down. The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the default values for those parameters is. Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition to manually coded parameters. This patch annotates drivers in drivers/tty/. Suggested-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman cc: Jiri Slaby cc: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org

tty: rocket: fix invalid user-pointer checks

2016-11-10T13:41:25Z

Drop invalid user-pointer checks from custom ioctl handlers. A NULL-pointer can be valid in user space and copy_to_user() takes care of sanity checking. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: add __init attribute

2016-04-30T16:26:55Z

Add __init attribute on a function that is only called from other __init functions and that is not inlined, at least with gcc version 4.8.4 on an x86 machine with allyesconfig. Currently, the function is put in the .text.unlikely segment. Declaring it as __init will cause it to be put in the .init.text and to disappear after initialization. The result of objdump -x on the function before the change is as follows: 000000000000014c l F .text.unlikely 0000000000000a2e init_r_port And after the change it is as follows: 0000000000000000 l F .init.text 0000000000000a29 init_r_port Done with the help of Coccinelle. The semantic patch checks for local static non-init functions that are called from an __init function and are not called from any other function.

tty: Replace ASYNC_INITIALIZED bit and update atomically

2016-04-30T16:26:55Z

Replace ASYNC_INITIALIZED bit in the tty_port::flags field with TTY_PORT_INITIALIZED bit in the tty_port::iflags field. Introduce helpers tty_port_set_initialized() and tty_port_initialized() to abstract atomic bit ops. Note: the transforms for test_and_set_bit() and test_and_clear_bit() are unnecessary as the state transitions are already mutually exclusive; the tty lock prevents concurrent open/close/hangup.

tty: Replace ASYNC_NORMAL_ACTIVE bit and update atomically

2016-04-30T16:26:55Z

Replace ASYNC_NORMAL_ACTIVE bit in the tty_port::flags field with TTY_PORT_ACTIVE bit in the tty_port::iflags field. Introduce helpers tty_port_set_active() and tty_port_active() to abstract atomic bit ops. Extract state changes from port lock sections, as this usage is broken and confused; the state transitions are protected by the tty lock (which mutually excludes parallel open/close/hangup), and no user tests the active state while holding the port lock.

tty: Remove ASYNC_CLOSING

2016-01-28T22:19:12Z

The tty core no longer provides nor uses ASYNC_CLOSING; remove from tty_port_close_start() and tty_port_close_end() as well as tty drivers which open-code these state changes. Unfortunately, even though the bit is masked from userspace, its inclusion in a uapi header precludes removing the macro.

2016-01-28T22:13:44Z

Expressions of the form "tty->termios.c_*flag & FLAG" are more clearly expressed with the termios flags macros, I_FLAG(), C_FLAG(), O_FLAG(), and L_FLAG(). Convert treewide. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Acked-by: Johan Hovold Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: rocket: Remove private close_wait

tty: Remove chars_in_buffer() line discipline method

2016-01-27T23:01:44Z

The chars_in_buffer() line discipline method serves no functional purpose, other than as a (dubious) debugging aid for mostly bit-rotting drivers. Despite being documented as an optional method, every caller is unconditionally executed (although conditionally compiled). Furthermore, direct tty->ldisc access without an ldisc ref is unsafe. Lastly, N_TTY's chars_in_buffer() has warned of removal since 3.12. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
