tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer,
then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing
data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input
buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared.

Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow
tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear.

NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in
tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing
line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on
ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line
disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods,
so a ->flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.

When releasing the master pty, the slave pty also needs to be locked
to prevent concurrent tty count changes for the slave pty and to
ensure that only one parallel master and slave release observe the
final close, and proceed to destruct the pty pair. Conversely, when
releasing the slave pty, locking the master pty is not necessary
(since the master's state can be inferred by the slave tty count).

Introduce tty_lock_slave()/tty_unlock_slave() which acquires/releases
the tty lock of the slave pty. Remove tty_lock_pair()/tty_unlock_pair().

The Alpha EV4/EV5 cpus can corrupt adjacent byte and short data because
those cpus use RMW to store byte and short data. Thus, concurrent adjacent
byte stores could become corrupted, if serialized by a different lock.
tty_struct uses different locks to protect certain fields within the
structure, and thus is vulnerable to byte stores which are not atomic.

Merge the ->ctrl_status byte and packet mode bit, both protected by the
->ctrl_lock, into an unsigned long.

The padding bits are necessary to force the compiler to allocate the
type specified; otherwise, gcc will ignore the type specifier and
allocate the minimum number of bytes required to store the bitfield.
In turn, this would allow Alpha EV4/EV5 cpus to corrupt adjacent byte
or short storage (because those cpus use RMW to store byte and short data).

gcc versions < 4.7.2 will also corrupt storage adjacent to bitfields
smaller than unsigned long on ia64, ppc64, hppa64, and sparc64, thus
requiring more than unsigned int storage (which would otherwise be
sufficient to fix the Alpha non-atomic storage problem).

Without serialization, the flow control state can become inverted
wrt. the actual hardware state. For example,

CPU 0                          | CPU 1
stop_tty()                     |
  lock ctrl_lock               |
  tty->stopped = 1             |
  unlock ctrl_lock             |
                               | start_tty()
                               |   lock ctrl_lock
                               |   tty->stopped = 0
                               |   unlock ctrl_lock
                               |   driver->start()
  driver->stop()               |

In this case, the flow control state now indicates the tty has
been started, but the actual hardware state has actually been stopped.

Introduce tty->flow_lock spinlock to serialize tty flow control changes.

The stopped, hw_stopped, flow_stopped and packet bits are smp-unsafe

tty->flow_stopped = 1         | tty->hw_stopped = 0

One of these updates will be corrupted, as the bitwise operation
on the bitfield is non-atomic.

Ensure each flag has a separate memory location, so concurrent
updates do not corrupt orthogonal states. Because DEC Alpha EV4 and EV5
cpus (from 1995) perform RMW on smaller-than-machine-word storage,
"separate memory location" must be int instead of byte.

The race was introduced while development of linux-3.11 by
e8437d7e and
e9975fde.
Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and
linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the
target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay.

In short:
 1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer.
 2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must
	be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room.
 3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling
	newly committed data.

Detailed example:
 * Initial buffer:
   * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL
 * Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc''
   * consumed 10 Byte
   * buffer:
     * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
{{{
		count = head->commit - head->read;	// count = 0
		if (!count) {				// enter
			// INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER ->
			if (head->next == NULL)
				break;
			buf->head = head->next;
			tty_buffer_free(port, head);
			continue;
		}
}}}
 * Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push
   * buffer:
     * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
   * added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum.
     * buffer:
       * Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
   * added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called
     * buffer:
       * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1
       * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL
   * push (tty_flip_buffer_push)
     * buffer:
       * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1
       * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL
 * Consumer
{{{
		count = head->commit - head->read;
		if (!count) {
			// INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <-
			if (head->next == NULL)		// -> no break
				break;
			buf->head = head->next;
			tty_buffer_free(port, head);
			// ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost
			continue;
		}
}}}

This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case. Perhaps later
a lock-less solution could be found.

The user-settable knob, low_latency, has been the source of
several BUG reports which stem from flush_to_ldisc() running
in interrupt context. Since 3.12, which added several sleeping
locks (termios_rwsem and buf->lock) to the input processing path,
the frequency of these BUG reports has increased.

Note that changes in 3.12 did not introduce this regression;
sleeping locks were first added to the input processing path
with the removal of the BKL from N_TTY in commit
a88a69c9,
'n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty'
and later in commit 38db8979,
'tty: throttling race fix'. Since those changes, executing
flush_to_ldisc() in interrupt_context (ie, low_latency set), is unsafe.

However, since most devices do not validate if the low_latency
setting is appropriate for the context (process or interrupt) in
which they receive data, some reports are due to misconfiguration.
Further, serial dma devices for which dma fails, resort to
interrupt receiving as a backup without resetting low_latency.

Historically, low_latency was used to force wake-up the reading
process rather than wait for the next scheduler tick. The
effect was to trim multiple milliseconds of latency from
when the process would receive new data.

Recent tests [1] have shown that the reading process now receives
data with only 10's of microseconds latency without low_latency set.

Remove the low_latency rx steering from tty_flip_buffer_push();
however, leave the knob as an optional hint to drivers that can
tune their rx fifos and such like. Cleanup stale code comments
regarding low_latency.

The tty core supports two models for handling tty_port lifetimes;
the tty_port can use the kref supplied by tty_port (which will
automatically destruct the tty_port when the ref count drops to
zero) or it can destruct the tty_port manually.

For tty drivers that choose to use the port kref to manage the
tty_port lifetime, it is not possible to safely acquire a port
reference conditionally. If the last reference is released after
evaluating the condition but before acquiring the reference, a
bogus reference will be held while the tty_port destruction
commences.

Rather, only acquire a port reference if the ref count is non-zero
and allow the caller to distinguish if a reference has successfully
been acquired.

Commits 6a1c0680 and

  'tty: Convert termios_mutex to termios_rwsem' and
  'n_tty: Access termios values safely'
introduced a circular lock dependency with console_lock and
termios_rwsem.

The lockdep report [1] shows that n_tty_write() will attempt
to claim console_lock while holding the termios_rwsem, whereas
tty_do_resize() may already hold the console_lock while
claiming the termios_rwsem.

Since n_tty_write() and tty_do_resize() do not contend
over the same data -- the tty->winsize structure -- correct
the lock dependency by introducing a new lock which
specifically serializes access to tty->winsize only.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.

The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.

Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

Atomic bit ops are no longer required to indicate a flip buffer
flush is pending, as the flush_mutex is sufficient barrier.

Remove the unnecessary port .iflags field and localize flip buffer
state to struct tty_bufhead.

Now that dropping the buffer lock is not necessary (as result of
converting the spin lock to a mutex), the flip buffer flush no
longer needs to be handled by the buffer work.

Simply signal a flush is required; the buffer work will exit the
i/o loop, which allows tty_buffer_flush() to proceed.

Lockless flip buffers require atomically updating the bytes-in-use
watermark.

The pty driver also peeks at the watermark value to limit
memory consumption to a much lower value than the default; query
the watermark with new fn, tty_buffer_space_avail().

Use a 0-sized sentinel to avoid assigning the head ptr from
the driver side thread. This also eliminates testing head/tail
for NULL.

When the sentinel is first 'consumed' by the buffer work
(or by tty_buffer_flush()), it is detached from the list but not
freed nor added to the free list. Both buffer work and
tty_buffer_flush() continue to preserve at least 1 flip buffer
to which head & tail is pointed.
