When max_count is reached, the rx loop exits. However, UART_LSR has
already been read so those char flags are lost, and subsequent rx

According to fcntl(2), "a SIGIO signal is sent whenever input
or output becomes possible on that file descriptor", i.e.
after the output buffer was full and now has space for new data.
But in fact SIGIO is sent after every write.

n_tty_write() should set TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP only when
not all data could be written to the buffer.

If signal-driven i/o is disabled while write wakeup is pending (ie.,
n_tty_write() has set TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP but then signal-driven i/o
is disabled), the TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP bit will never be cleared and
will cause tty_wakeup() to always call n_tty_write_wakeup.

VFS uses a two-stage check-and-call method for invoking file_operations
methods, without explicitly snapshotting either the file_operations ptr
or the function ptr. Since the tty core is one of the few VFS users that
changes the f_op file_operations ptr of the file descriptor (when the
tty has been hung up), and since the likelihood of the compiler generating
a reload of either f_op or the function ptr is basically nil, just define
a hung up fasync() file operation that returns an error.

Only the N_TTY line discipline implements the signal-driven i/o
notification enabled/disabled by fcntl(F_SETFL, O_ASYNC). The ldisc
fasync() notification is sent to the ldisc when the enable state has
changed (the tty core is notified via the fasync() VFS file operation).

The N_TTY line discipline used the enable state to change the wakeup
condition (minimum_to_wake = 1) for notifying the signal handler i/o is
available. However, just the presence of data is sufficient and necessary
to signal i/o is available, so changing minimum_to_wake is unnecessary
(and creates a race condition with read() and poll() which may be
concurrently updating minimum_to_wake).

Furthermore, since the kill_fasync() VFS helper performs no action if
the fasync list is empty, calling unconditionally is preferred; if
signal driven i/o just has been disabled, no signal will be sent by
kill_fasync() anyway so notification of the change via the ldisc
fasync() method is superfluous.

A read() in non-canonical mode when VMIN > 0 and VTIME == 0 does not
complete until at least VMIN chars have been read (or the user buffer is
full). In this infrequent read mode, n_tty_read() attempts to reduce
wakeups by computing the amount of data still necessary to complete the
read (minimum_to_wake) and only waking the read()/poll() when that much
unread data has been processed. This is the only read mode for which
new data does not necessarily generate a wakeup.

However, this optimization is broken and commonly leads to hung reads
even though the necessary amount of data has been received. Since the
optimization is of marginal value anyway, just remove the whole
thing. This also remedies a race between a concurrent poll() and
read() in this mode, where the poll() can reset the minimum_to_wake
of the read() (and vice versa).

When tty_audit_exit() is called from do_exit(), the process is
single-threaded. Since the tty_audit_buf is only shared by threads
of a process, no other thread can be concurrently accessing the
tty_audit_buf during or after tty_audit_exit().

Thus, no other thread can be holding an extra tty_audit_buf reference
which would prevent tty_audit_exit() from freeing the tty_audit_buf.
As that is the only purpose of the ref counting, remove the reference
counting and free the tty_audit_buf directly.

The tty audit buffer is allocated at first use and not freed until
the process exits. If tty audit is turned off after the audit buffer
has been allocated, no effort is made to release the buffer.
So re-checking if tty audit has just been turned off when tty audit
was just on is false optimization; the likelihood of triggering this
condition is exceedingly small.

In canonical read mode, each line read and logged is pushed separately
with tty_audit_push(). For all single-threaded processes and multi-threaded
processes reading from only one tty, this patch has no effect; the last line
read will still be the entry pushed to the audit log because the tty
association cannot have changed between tty_audit_add_data() and
tty_audit_push().

For multi-threaded processes reading from different ttys concurrently,
the audit log will have mixed log entries anyway. Consider two ttys
audited concurrently:

CPU0                           CPU1
----------                     ------------
tty_audit_add_data(ttyA)
                               tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
tty_audit_push()
                               tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
                               tty_audit_push()

This patch will now cause the ttyB output to be split into separate
audit log entries.

However, this possibility is equally likely without this patch:

CPU0                           CPU1
----------                     ------------
                               tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
tty_audit_add_data(ttyA)

                               tty_audit_add_data(ttyB)
                               tty_audit_push()

Mixed canonical and non-canonical reads have similar races.

The tty audit buffer used to audit/record tty input is allocated on
the process's first call to tty_audit_add_data(), and not freed until
the process exits. On each call to tty_audit_add_data(), the current
tty is compared (by major:minor) with the last tty associated with
the audit buffer, and if the tty has changed the existing data is
logged to the audit log. The audit buffer is then re-associated with
the new tty.

Currently, the audit buffer is immediately associated with the tty;
however, the association must be re-checked when the buffer is locked
prior to copying the tty input. This extra step is always necessary,
since a concurrent read of a different tty by another thread of the
process may have used the buffer in between allocation and buffer
lock.

Rather than associate the audit buffer with the tty at allocation,
leave the buffer initially un-associated (null dev_t); simply let the
re-association check also perform the initial association.

Currently, when the tty is hungup, the ldisc is re-instanced; ie., the
current instance is destroyed and a new instance is created. The purpose
of this design was to guarantee a valid, open ldisc for the lifetime of
the tty.

However, now that tty buffers are owned by and have lifetime equivalent
to the tty_port (since v3.10), any data received immediately after the
ldisc is re-instanced may cause continued driver i/o operations
concurrently with the driver's hangup() operation. For drivers that
shutdown h/w on hangup, this is unexpected and usually bad. For example,
the serial core may free the xmit buffer page concurrently with an
in-progress write() operation (triggered by echo).

With the existing stable and robust ldisc reference handling, the
cleaned-up tty_reopen(), the straggling unsafe ldisc use cleaned up, and
the preparation to properly handle a NULL tty->ldisc, the ldisc instance
can be destroyed and only re-instanced when the tty is re-opened.

If the tty was opened as /dev/console or /dev/tty0, the original behavior
of re-instancing the ldisc is retained (the 'reinit' parameter to
tty_ldisc_hangup() is true). This is required since those file descriptors
are never hungup.

This patch has neglible impact on userspace; the tty file_operations ptr
is changed to point to the hungup file operations _before_ the ldisc
instance is destroyed, so only racing file operations might now retrieve
a NULL ldisc reference (which is simply handled as if the hungup file
operation had been called instead -- see "tty: Prepare for destroying
line discipline on hangup").

This resolves a long-standing FIXME and several crash reports.

tty file_operations (read/write/ioctl) wait for the ldisc reference
