tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work

2012-06-02T22:21:43+00:00

This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.

The main revert is d29f3ef39be4 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

  fde86d310886 - tty: add lockdep annotations
  8f6576ad476b - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
  d3ca8b64b97e - pty: Fix lock inversion
  b1d679afd766 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
  abcefe5fc357 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
  fd11b42e3598 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  d29f3ef39be4 - tty_lock: Localise the lock

The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
that got removed in the meantime.

tty_lock: Localise the lock

2012-05-04T23:58:47+00:00

In each remaining case the tty_lock is associated with a specific tty. This
means we can now lock on a per tty basis. We do need tty_lock_pair() for
the pty case. Uglier but still a step in the right direction.

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing
it.  Performed with the following command:

perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*' *`

TTY: remove unneeded tty->index checks

2012-03-08T19:42:21+00:00

Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the
index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it
can be only in interval <0,driver->num).

So remove the tests which check exactly this interval. Some are
left untouched as they check against the current backing device count.
(Leaving apart that the check is racy in most of the cases.)

TTY: remove re-assignments to tty_driver members

2012-03-08T19:37:58+00:00

All num, magic and owner are set by alloc_tty_driver. No need to
re-set them on each allocation site.

pti driver sets something different to what it passes to
alloc_tty_driver. It is not a bug, since we don't use the lines
parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right
thing.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)

2012-01-12T23:02:20+00:00

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

tty: move a number of tty drivers from drivers/char/ to drivers/tty/

2011-02-23T00:14:56+00:00

As planned by Arnd Bergmann, this moves the following drivers from
drivers/char/ to drivers/tty/ as that's where they really belong:
	amiserial
	nozomi
	synclink
	rocket
	cyclades
	moxa
	mxser
	isicom
	bfin_jtag_comm
