tty: undo export of tty_open_by_driver

2017-08-28T14:15:42+00:00

Since we have tty_kopen, we no longer need to export tty_open_by_driver.
This patch makes this function static.

tty: resolve tty contention between kernel and user space

2017-08-28T14:15:41+00:00

The commit 12e84c71b7d4 ("tty: export tty_open_by_driver") exports
tty_open_by_device to allow tty to be opened from inside kernel which
works fine except that it doesn't handle contention with user space or
another kernel-space open of the same tty. For example, opening a tty
from user space while it is kernel opened results in failure and a
kernel log message about mismatch between tty->count and tty's file
open count.

This patch makes kernel access to tty exclusive, so that if a user
process or kernel opens a kernel opened tty, it gets -EBUSY. It does
this by adding TTY_KOPENED flag to tty->flags. When this flag is set,
tty_open_by_driver returns -EBUSY. Instead of overloading
tty_open_by_driver for both kernel and user space, this
patch creates a separate function tty_kopen which closely follows
tty_open_by_driver. tty_kclose closes the tty opened by tty_kopen.

To address the mismatch between tty->count and #fd's, this patch adds
#kopen's to the count before comparing it with tty->count. That way
check_tty_count reflects correct usage count.

Returning -EBUSY on tty open is a change in the interface. I have
tested this with minicom, picocom and commands like "echo foo >
/dev/ttyS0". They all correctly report "Device or resource busy" when
the tty is already kernel opened.

Pull structure randomization updates from Kees Cook:
 "Now that IPC and other changes have landed, enable manual markings for
  randstruct plugin, including the task_struct.

  This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and
  comes in three patches, largest first:

   - mark "easy" structs with __randomize_layout

   - mark task_struct with an optional anonymous struct to isolate the
     __randomize_layout section

   - mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come
     later)

  And, FWIW, this continues to pass allmodconfig (normal and patched to
  enable gcc-plugins) builds of x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, and
  s390 for me"

randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

2017-06-30T19:00:51+00:00

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

tty: add function to convert device name to number

2017-06-27T07:08:47+00:00

The function converts strings like ttyS0 and ttyUSB0 to dev_t like
(4, 64) and (188, 0). It does this by scanning tty_drivers list for
corresponding device name and index. If the driver is not registered,
this function returns -ENODEV. It also acquires tty_mutex.

tty: define tty_open_by_driver when CONFIG_TTY is not defined

2017-06-25T14:38:34+00:00

This patch adds definition of tty_open_by_driver when CONFIG_TTY is not
defined. This was supposed to have been included in commit
12e84c71b7d4ee38d51377fd494ac748ee4e6912 ("tty: export
tty_open_by_driver"). The patch follows convention for other such
functions and returns NULL.

tty: drop unused alt_speed from tty_struct

2017-06-13T09:49:58+00:00

Drop the now unused alt_speed field from struct tty_struct.

Setting an alt_speed using the ASYNC_SPD flags has been deprecated since
v2.1.69, and has been broken for all tty drivers but serial-core since
v3.10 and commit 6865ff222cca ("TTY: do not warn about setting speed via
SPD_*") without anyone noticing.

Note that serial-core still supports changing speed using TIOCSSERIAL
and SPD flags (including "alt-speeds"), but also warns about it being
deprecated since pre-git.

tty/serdev: add serdev registration interface

2017-05-18T15:38:24+00:00

Add a new interface for registering a serdev controller and clients, and
a helper function to deregister serdev devices (or a tty device) that
were previously registered using the new interface.

Once every driver currently using the tty_port_register_device() helpers
have been vetted and converted to use the new serdev registration
interface (at least for deregistration), we can move serdev registration
to the current helpers and get rid of the serdev-specific functions.
