2011-04-22tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes receivedFelipe Balbi
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.

2011-04-19tty/n_gsm: fix bug in CRC calculation for gsm1 modeMikhail Kshevetskiy
Problem description: gsm_queue() calculate a CRC for arrived frames. As a last step of CRC calculation it call gsm->fcs = gsm_fcs_add(gsm->fcs, gsm->received_fcs); This work perfectly for the case of GSM0 mode as gsm->received_fcs contain the last piece of data required to generate final CRC. gsm->received_fcs is not used for GSM1 mode. Thus we put an additional byte to CRC calculation. As result we get a wrong CRC and reject incoming frame.

2011-04-19tty: Clean console safelyPetr Písař
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.

2011-04-19serial: core, remove uart_update_termiosJiri Slaby
Now, uart_update_termios is empty, so it's time to remove it. We no longer need a live tty in .dtr_rts. So this should prune all the bugs where tty is zeroed in port->tty during tty_port_block_til_ready. There is one thing to note. We don't set ASYNC_NORMAL_ACTIVE now. It's because this is done already in tty_port_block_til_ready.

2011-04-19serial: core, move termios handling to uart_startupJiri Slaby
We should not fiddle with speed and cflags in .dtr_rts hook. Actually we might not have tty at that moment already. So move the console cflag copy and speed setup into uart_startup. Actually the speed setup is already there, but we need to call it unconditionally (uart_startup is called from uart_open with hw_init = 0). This means we move uart_change_speed before dtr/rts setup in .dtr_rts. But this should not matter as the setup should be called after uart_change_speed anyway. Before: After: dtr/rts setup (dtr_rts) uart_change_speed (startup) uart_change_speed (update_termios) dtr/rts setup (dtr_rts) dtr/rts setup (update_termios) dtr/rts setup (update_termios) The second setup will dismiss with the next patch.

2011-04-19serial: altera_uart: Scan for a free port if platform device id is -1Tobias Klauser
Devices extracted from device tree all seem to have pdev->id set to -1. Up until now we mapped all devices with id -1 to the first device. This behaviour could lead to problems when using more than one Altera UART in a system. This patch changes the behaviour of the driver to scan for the next free id in case the id is -1. Because we cannot refer back to the assigned id in altera_uart_remove, the port instance needs to be stored in device drvdata.

2011-04-04tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills upLinus Torvalds
Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('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.

Without this parameter, sci_console_init is called during early console setup without any port being initialized, and the kernel crashes a little bit later when uart_set_options attemps to invoke set_termios on a port with an ops member equal to NULL. This patch just checks in sci_console_init that the port is properly initialized, and aborts the early console setup if it is not.

Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own versions of show_mem(): lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem': show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem' arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in all implementations to prevent this breakage. Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the generic implementation.

Labels are added to be able to skip over the call to put_tty_driver when the argument will be NULL.

2011-03-22tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layerLinus Torvalds
Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for the next tick to complete some actions. That's usually not all that noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being totally unacceptable. As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration. Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case down to 0.009s on my machine. In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).
