Christian Borntraeger 000b9151d7 Fix race/oops in tty layer after BKL pushdown
While testing our KVM code for s390 (starting and killall kvm in a loop)
I can reproduce the following oops:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

It seems that tty was already free in disassocate_ctty when it tries
to dereference tty->driver.

After moving the lock_kernel before the mutex_unlock, I can no longer
reproduce the problem.

[ This is a temporary partial fix for the documented and long standing
  race in disassociate_tty.  This stops most problem cases for now.

  For the next release the -next tree has an initial implementation of
  kref counting for tty structures and this quickfix will be dropped.

Some hardware needs to do break handling itself and may have partial
support only. Make break_ctl return an error code. Add a tty driver flag
so you can indicate driver hardware side break support.

Alan Cox 6f67048cd0 tty: Introduce a tty_port common structure
Every tty driver has its own concept of a port structure and because
they all differ we cannot extract commonality.  Begin fixing this by
creating a structure drivers can elect to use so that over time we can
push fields into this and create commonality and then introduce common
methods.

Alan Cox a352def21a tty: Ldisc revamp
Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.

Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

Miloslav Trmac 41126226e1 [patch 1/2] audit: let userspace fully control TTY input auditing
Remove the code that automatically disables TTY input auditing in processes
that open TTYs when they have no other TTY open; this heuristic was
intended to automatically handle daemons, but it has false positives (e.g.
with sshd) that make it impossible to control TTY input auditing from a PAM
module.  With this patch, TTY input auditing is controlled from user-space
only.

On the other hand, not even for daemons does it make sense to audit "input"
from PTY masters; this data was produced by a program writing to the PTY
slave, and does not represent data entered by the user.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

Pavel Emelyanov b488893a39 pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Pavel Emelianov a47afb0f9d pid namespaces: round up the API
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

Alan Cox 42fd552e86 fix serial buffer memory leak
Patch c5c34d4862 (tty: flush flip buffer on
ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory
leaks.

The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being
pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc().

flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline
receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both
tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it
restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the
buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a
new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost
forever without being released.

(Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting
the bug)

- Use tty->flags bits for the flush status.

- Wait for the flag to clear again before returning

- Fix the doc error noted

- Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending

Miloslav Trmac 522ed7767e Audit: add TTY input auditing
Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions.  This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.

Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still
work).

TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.

Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).

Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.

See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

Paul Fulghum 38ad2ed08d tty: restore locked ioctl file op
Restore tty locked ioctl handler which was replaced with
an unlocked ioctl handler in hung_up_tty_fops by the patch:

commit e10cc1df1d
Author: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com>
Date:   Thu May 10 22:22:50 2007 -0700

    tty: add compat_ioctl

This was reported in:
[Bug 8473] New: Oops: 0010 [1] SMP

The bug is caused by switching to hung_up_tty_fops in do_tty_hangup.  An
ioctl call can be waiting on BLK after testing for existence of the locked
ioctl handler in the normal tty fops, but before calling the locked ioctl
handler.  If a hangup occurs at that point, the locked ioctl fop is NULL
and an oops occurs.

(akpm: we can remove my debugging code from do_ioctl() now, but it'll be OK to
do that for 2.6.23)
