Commit f23eb2b2 ('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.

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.

Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:

     These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
     LINEMODE in the server.

     There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
     When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
     are disabled.  Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
     of signals are all disabled.  This allows the telnetd to turn
     off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
     what state the user wants the terminal to be in.

     New ioctl:
         TIOCSIG         Generate a signal to processes in the
                         current process group of the pty.

     There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
     When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
     is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
     next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
     bit set.  This allows the process on the server side of the pty
     to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
     issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.

Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.

The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as
two tty_put_char() calls.  Which works, but is stupid, and has caused
problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic.
The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example.

Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic
tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9c:
"pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic").

So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write
instead.  That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space
expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just
a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test,
which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering,
it won't cause weeks of debugging.

We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.

So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.

This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a542974: "pty: quickfix for the
pty ENXIO timing problems").

If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
	- echo characters are pending
	- FASYNC is enabled
	- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
		- a device write path (pty)
		- an IRQ (serial)

then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.

On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.

The code path is

	n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
	tty_io:tty_put_char()
	pty:pty_write  (or serial paths)
	tty_wakeup     (from pty_write or serial IRQ)
	n_tty_write_wakeup()
	process_echoes()

Fix the handling of input characters when the tty buffer is full or nearly
full.  This includes tests that are done in n_tty_receive_char() and handling
of PARMRK.

Problems with the buffer-full tests done in receive_char() caused characters to
be lost at times when the buffer(s) filled.  Also, these full conditions
would often only be detected with echo on, and PARMRK was not accounted for
properly in all cases.  One symptom of these problems, in addition to lost
characters, was early termination from unix commands like tr and cat when
^Q was used to break from a stopped tty with full buffers (note that breaking
out was often previously not possible, due to the pty getting in "gridlock",
which will be addressed in another patch).  Note space is always reserved
at the end of the buffer for a newline (or EOF/EOL) in canonical mode.

Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when
the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens
frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C)
and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline.

Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all
ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters).  Along with the
loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between
tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately
written to the tty driver.

The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need
to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column
position).  This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output,
since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written.

Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code
to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the
Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks.

Highlights are:

* Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full
  - continuous program output can block echo
* Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S)
  - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output)
* Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not
  split up by interleaved program output
* Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to
  the tty driver
* Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline

Fix two N_TTY line discipline issues related to resuming a stopped TTY
(typically done with ctrl-S):

1) Fix handling of character that resumes a stopped TTY (with IXANY)

With "stty ixany", the TTY line discipline would lose the first character
after the stop, so typing, for example, "hi^Sthere" resulted in "hihere"
(the 't' would cause the resume after ^S, but it would then be thrown away
rather than processed as an input character).  This was inconsistent with
the behavior of other Unix systems.

2) Fix interrupt signal (e.g. ctrl-C) behavior in stopped TTYs

With "stty -ixany" (often the default), interrupt signals were ignored
in a stopped TTY until the TTY was resumed with the start char (typically
ctrl-Q), which was inconsistent with the behavior of other Unix systems.

Turn on INTR/QUIT/SUSP echoing in the N_TTY line discipline (e.g.  ctrl-C

Linux seems to be the only unix-like OS (recently I've verified this on
Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X) that does *not* behave this way, and I really
miss this as a good visual confirmation of the interrupt of a program in
the console or xterm.  I remember this fondly from many Unixs I've used
over the years as well.  Bringing this to Linux also seems like a good way
to make it yet more compliant with standard unix-like behavior.

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.

Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag.  This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time.  2.2.15 introduced
tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
only state requiring protection between these two functions.

The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
discipline receive_buf function.

Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
not universally honored, it is removed.
