tty: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to exporters

2011-10-31T23:31:28+00:00

With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence
of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed.
Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the
device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now.

The top of  has this comment:

 * Please do not include this file in generic code.  There is currently

tty: clearify structure initializer in notify_write()

2011-08-23T17:48:30+00:00

Even though this is valid C we should not mix C99 initializers with
obfuscated ANSI C. Stick to C99 and initialize c by its name.

Found by clang:

TTY: remove tty_locked

2011-08-23T17:34:07+00:00

We used it really only serial and ami_serial. The rest of the
callsites were BUG/WARN_ONs to check if BTM is held. Now that we
pruned tty_locked from both of the real users, we can get rid of
tty_lock along with __big_tty_mutex_owner.

Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"

2011-06-03T21:33:24+00:00

This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").

It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
  "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
   server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
   large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
   loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
   data in the quoted bits further down).

   ...

   Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
   flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
   the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
   forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
   process that could have emptied the PTY."

which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received

2011-04-23T00:31:53+00:00

it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of
bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts
the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes
on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB
serial gadget driver.

tty: Clean console safely

2011-04-19T23:33:37+00:00

Traditional \E[2J sequence erases console display but scroll-back
buffer and underlying device (frame) buffer keep data that can be
accessed by scrolling console back.

This patch introduce new \E[J parameter 3 that allows to scramble
scroll-back buffer explicitly. Session locking programs (screen,
vlock) can use it to prevent attacker to browse locked console
history.
