commit 0f40fbbcc34e093255a2b2d70b6b0fb48c3f39aa upstream.

OpenSSH expects the (non-blocking) read() of pty master to return
EAGAIN only if it has received all of the slave-side output after
it has received SIGCHLD. This used to work on pre-3.12 kernels.

This fix effectively forces non-blocking read() and poll() to
block for parallel i/o to complete for all ttys. It also unwinds
these changes:

   tty: Fix pty master read() after slave closes

2) 52bce7f8d4fc633c9a9d0646eef58ba6ae9a3b73
   pty, n_tty: Simplify input processing on final close

3) 1a48632ffed61352a7810ce089dc5a8bcd505a60
   pty: Fix input race when closing

Inspired by analysis and patch from Marc Aurele La France &lt;tsi@tuyoix.net&gt;

<title>pty: make sure super_block is still valid in final /dev/tty close</title>

Considering current pty code and multiple devpts instances, it's possible
to umount a devpts file system while a program still has /dev/tty opened
pointing to a previosuly closed pty pair in that instance. In the case all
ptmx and pts/N files are closed, umount can be done. If the program closes
/dev/tty after umount is done, devpts_kill_index will use now an invalid
super_block, which was already destroyed in the umount operation after
running -&gt;kill_sb. This is another "use after free" type of issue, but now
related to the allocated super_block instance.

To avoid the problem (warning at ida_remove and potential crashes) for
this specific case, I added two functions in devpts which grabs additional
references to the super_block, which pty code now uses so it makes sure
the super block structure is still valid until pty shutdown is done.
I also moved the additional inode references to the same functions, which
also covered similar case with inode being freed before /dev/tty final
close/shutdown.

<title>pty: fix possible use after free of tty-&gt;driver_data</title>

<content type='text'>
This change fixes a bug for a corner case where we have the the last
release from a pty master/slave coming from a previously opened /dev/tty
file. When this happens, the tty-&gt;driver_data can be stale, due to all
ptmx or pts/N files having already been closed before (and thus the inode
related to these files, which tty-&gt;driver_data points to, being already
freed/destroyed).

The fix here is to keep a reference on the opened master ptmx inode.
We maintain the inode referenced until the final pty_unix98_shutdown,
and only pass this inode to devpts_kill_index.

<title>tty: Remove __func__ from tty_debug() macro</title>

Now that tty_debug() macro uses pr_debug(), the function name can
be printed when using dynamic debug; printing the function name within
the format string is redundant.

Remove the __func__ parameter and print specifier from the format string.
Add context to messages for when the function name is not printed by
dynamic debug, or when dynamic debug is not enabled.

<title>drivers/tty: make pty.c slightly more explicitly non-modular</title>

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/tty/Kconfig:config LEGACY_PTYS
drivers/tty/Kconfig:    bool "Legacy (BSD) PTY support"

...and:

drivers/tty/Kconfig:config UNIX98_PTYS
drivers/tty/Kconfig:    bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT

combined with this:

obj-$(CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS)       += pty.o
obj-$(CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS)       += pty.o

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the traces of modularity we can so that when reading the
driver there is less doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't delete the module.h include since other parts of the file are
using content from there.

Opens of /dev/ptmx don't use tty_open() so debug messages are
not printed for those opens; print a debug message with the
open count (which must always be 1) if TTY_DEBUG_HANGUP is defined.

NB: Each tty core source file undefs support for debug messages.
The relevant source file must be patched/edited to enable these
messages.

A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO)
after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read.
For example,

       pty slave       |        input worker        |    pty master
                       |                            |
                       |                            |   n_tty_read()
pty_write()            |                            |     input avail? no
  add data             |                            |     sleep
  schedule worker  ---&gt;|                            |     .
                       |---&gt; flush_to_ldisc()       |     .
pty_close()            |       fill read buffer     |     .
  wait for worker      |       wakeup reader    ---&gt;|     .
                       |       read buffer full?    |---&gt; input avail ? yes
                       |&lt;---   yes - exit worker    |     copy 4096 bytes to user
  TTY_OTHER_CLOSED &lt;---|                            |&lt;--- kick worker
                       |                            |

		                **** New read() before worker starts ****

                       |                            |   n_tty_read()
                       |                            |     input avail? no
                       |                            |     TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes
                       |                            |     return -EIO

Several conditions are required to trigger this race:
1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits
2. the read() count parameter must be &gt;= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer
   is empty
3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed
   more input

However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while
tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not
yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end
are visible to the pty master end immediately.

Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader.
1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or
   input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when
   TTY_OTHER_DONE is set.
2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.
3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be
   set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to
   exit).

Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

2. the read() count parameter must be &gt;= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer
   is empty
3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed
   more input

However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while
tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not
yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end
are visible to the pty master end immediately.

Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader.
1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or
   input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when
   TTY_OTHER_DONE is set.
2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.
3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be
   set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to
   exit).

Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

BRKINT and ISIG requires input and output flush when a signal char
is received. However, the order of operations is significant since
parallel i/o may be ongoing.

Merge the signal handling for BRKINT with ISIG handling.

Process the signal first. This ensures any ongoing i/o is aborted;
without this, a waiting writer may continue writing after the flush
occurs and after the signal char has been echoed.

Write lock the termios_rwsem, which excludes parallel writers from
pushing new i/o until after the output buffers are flushed; claiming
the write lock is necessary anyway to exclude parallel readers while
the read buffer is flushed.

Subclass the termios_rwsem for ptys since the slave pty performing
the flush may appear to reorder the termios_rwsem-&gt;tty buffer lock
lock order; adding annotation clarifies that
  slave tty_buffer lock-&gt; slave termios_rwsem -&gt; master tty_buffer lock
is a valid lock order.

Flush the echo buffer. In this context, the echo buffer is 'output'.
Otherwise, the output will appear discontinuous because the output buffer
was cleared which contains older output than the echo buffer.

Open-code the read buffer flush since the input worker does not need
kicking (this is the input worker).

The pty driver does not clear its write buffer when commanded.
This is to avoid an apparent deadlock between parallel flushes from
both pty ends; specifically when handling either BRK or INTR input.
However, parallel flushes from this source is not possible since
the pty master can never be set to BRKINT or ISIG. Parallel flushes
from other sources are possible but these do not threaten deadlocks.

Annotate the tty buffer mutex for lockdep to represent the nested
tty_buffer locking which occurs when the pty slave is processing input
(its buffer mutex held) and receives INTR or BRK and acquires the
linked tty buffer mutex via tty_buffer_flush().

The pty_space() computation is broken; the space already consumed
in the tty buffer is not accounted for.

Use tty_buffer_set_limit(), which enforces the limit automatically.
