commit a501ab75e7624d133a5a3c7ec010687c8b961d23 upstream.

There is a race in pty_write(). pty_write() can be called in parallel
with e.g. ioctl(TIOCSTI) or ioctl(TCXONC) which also inserts chars to
the buffer. Provided, tty_flip_buffer_push() in pty_write() is called
outside the lock, it can commit inconsistent tail. This can lead to out
of bounds writes and other issues. See the Link below.

To fix this, we have to introduce a new helper called
tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer(). It does both
tty_insert_flip_string() and tty_flip_buffer_commit() under the port
lock. It also calls queue_work(), but outside the lock. See
71a174b39f10 (pty: do tty_flip_buffer_push without port-&gt;lock in
pty_write) for the reasons.

Keep the helper internal-only (in drivers' tty.h). It is not intended to
be used widely.

It looks like the commit was aimed to protect tty_insert_flip_string and
there is no need for tty_flip_buffer_push to be under this lock.

It looks like the commit was aimed to protect tty_insert_flip_string and
there is no need for tty_flip_buffer_push to be under this lock.

[ Upstream commit b6da31b2c07c46f2dcad1d86caa835227a16d9ff ]

Unlike normal serials, in pty layer, there is no guarantee that multiple
threads don't insert input characters at the same time. If it is happened,
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag can be executed concurrently. This can
lead slab out-of-bounds write in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag.

Call sequences are as follows.
CPU0                                    CPU1
n_tty_ioctl_helper                      n_tty_ioctl_helper
__start_tty                             tty_send_xchar
tty_wakeup                              pty_write
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup                       tty_insert_flip_string
n_hdlc_send_frames                      tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
pty_write
tty_insert_flip_string
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag

To fix the race, acquire port-&gt;lock in pty_write() before it inserts input
characters to tty buffer. It prevents multiple threads from inserting
input characters concurrently.

The crash log is as follows:

<title>tty: pty: Fix ldisc flush after userspace become aware of the data already</title>

commit 77dae6134440420bac334581a3ccee94cee1c054 upstream.

While using emacs, cat or others' commands in konsole with recent
kernels, I have met many times that CTRL-C freeze konsole. After
konsole freeze I can't type anything, then I have to open a new one,
it is very annoying.

See bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175283

The platform in that bug report is Solaris, but now the pty in linux
has the same problem or the same behavior as Solaris :)

It has high possibility to trigger the problem follow steps below:
Note: In my test, BigFile is a text file whose size is bigger than 1G
1:open konsole
1:cat BigFile
2:CTRL-C

After some digging, I find out the reason is that commit 1d1d14da12e7
("pty: Fix buffer flush deadlock") changes the behavior of pty_flush_buffer.

Thread A                                 Thread B
--------                                 --------
1:n_tty_poll return POLLIN
                                         2:CTRL-C trigger pty_flush_buffer
                                             tty_buffer_flush
                                               n_tty_flush_buffer
3:attempt to check count of chars:
  ioctl(fd, TIOCINQ, &amp;available)
  available is equal to 0

4:read(fd, buffer, avaiable)
  return 0

5:konsole close fd

Yes, I know we could use the same patch included in the BUG report as
a workaround for linux platform too. But I think the data in ldisc is
belong to application of another side, we shouldn't clear it when we
want to flush write buffer of this side in pty_flush_buffer. So I think
it is better to disable ldisc flush in pty_flush_buffer, because its new
hehavior bring no benefit except that it mess up the behavior between
POLLIN, and TIOCINQ or FIONREAD.

Also I find no flush_buffer function in others' tty driver has the
same behavior as current pty_flush_buffer.

<title>devpts: fix null pointer dereference on failed memory allocation</title>

<content type='text'>
An ENOMEM when creating a pair tty in tty_ldisc_setup causes a null
pointer dereference in devpts_kill_index because tty-&gt;link-&gt;driver_data
is NULL.  The oops was triggered with the pty stressor in stress-ng when
in a low memory condition.

tty_init_dev tries to clean up a tty_ldisc_setup ENOMEM error by calling
release_tty, however, this ultimately tries to clean up the NULL pair'd
tty in pty_unix98_remove, triggering the Oops.

Add check to pty_unix98_remove to only clean up fsi if it is not NULL.

Ooops:

An ENOMEM when creating a pair tty in tty_ldisc_setup causes a null
pointer dereference in devpts_kill_index because tty-&gt;link-&gt;driver_data
is NULL.  The oops was triggered with the pty stressor in stress-ng when
in a low memory condition.

tty_init_dev tries to clean up a tty_ldisc_setup ENOMEM error by calling
release_tty, however, this ultimately tries to clean up the NULL pair'd
tty in pty_unix98_remove, triggering the Oops.

Add check to pty_unix98_remove to only clean up fsi if it is not NULL.

Ooops:

<title>devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.</title>

<id>eedf265aa003b4781de24cfed40a655a664457e6</id>
<content type='text'>
The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in.  If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem.  Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.

The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.

Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.

Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.

A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it.  The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.

In the implementation of devpts:
 - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
   devpts are equal.
 - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode-&gt;i_sb as all cached
   inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
 - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx.  And the
   unnecessary inode hold is removed.
 - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
   deacrivate_super.
 - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
   ignored.

In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.

Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.

This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,
centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3,
ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1,
slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01.  With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

<title>Fix OpenSSH pty regression on close</title>

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:

1) f8747d4a466ab2cafe56112c51b3379f9fdb7a12
   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

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:

1) f8747d4a466ab2cafe56112c51b3379f9fdb7a12
   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

Abstract TTY_IO_ERROR status test treewide with tty_io_error().
NB: tty-&gt;flags uses atomic bit ops; replace non-atomic bit test
with test_bit().
