commit 7c0cca7c847e6e019d67b7d793efbbe3b947d004 upstream.

By default, the kernel will automatically load the module of any line
dicipline that is asked for.  As this sometimes isn't the safest thing
to do, provide a sysctl to disable this feature.

By default, we set this to 'y' as that is the historical way that Linux
has worked, and we do not want to break working systems.  But in the
future, perhaps this can default to 'n' to prevent this functionality.

commit 27cfb3a53be46a54ec5e0bd04e51995b74c90343 upstream.

Some tty line disciplines do not have a receive buf callback, so
properly check for that before calling it.  If they do not have this
callback, just eat the character quietly, as we can't fail this call.

[ Upstream commit 33a1a7be198657c8ca26ad406c4d2a89b7162bcc ]

The issue is found by a fuzzing test.
If tty_find_polling_driver() recevies an incorrect input such as
',,' or '0b', the len becomes 0 and strncmp() always return 0.
In this case, a null p-&gt;ops-&gt;poll_init() is called and it causes a kernel
panic.

Fix this by checking name length against zero in tty_find_polling_driver().

<title>tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD)</title>

[ Upstream commit 5c17c861a357e9458001f021a7afa7aab9937439 ]

ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the
ldisc because the line discipline id (c_line) in termios is untrustworthy;
userspace may have set termios via ioctl(TCSETS*) without actually
changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD).

However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty-&gt;ldisc is
unsafe; the ldisc ptr dereferenced may be stale if the line discipline
is changing via ioctl(TIOCSETD) or hangup.

Wait for the line discipline reference (just like read() or write())
to retrieve the "current" line discipline id.

<title>tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take four</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f0bf0bd07943bfde8f5ac39a32664810a379c7d3 upstream.

This problem was taken care of three times already in
* b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e (TTY: do not update
  atime/mtime on read/write),
* 37b7f3c76595e23257f61bd80b223de8658617ee (TTY: fix atime/mtime
  regression), and
* b0b885657b6c8ef63a46bc9299b2a7715d19acde (tty: fix up atime/mtime
  mess, take three)

But it still misses one point. As John Paul correctly points out, we
do not care about setting date. If somebody ever changes wall
time backwards (by mistake for example), tty timestamps are never
updated until the original wall time passes.

So check the absolute difference of times and if it large than "8
seconds or so", always update the time. That means we will update
immediatelly when changing time. Ergo, CAP_SYS_TIME can foul the
check, but it was always that way.

Thanks John for serving me this so nicely debugged.

<title>tty: Fix high cpu load if tty is unreleaseable</title>

Kernel oops can cause the tty to be unreleaseable (for example, if
n_tty_read() crashes while on the read_wait queue). This will cause
tty_release() to endlessly loop without sleeping.

Use a killable sleep timeout which grows by 2n+1 jiffies over the interval
[0, 120 secs.) and then jumps to forever (but still killable).

NB: killable just allows for the task to be rewoken manually, not
to be terminated.

<content type='text'>
When a master pty is set to packet mode, flow control changes to
the slave pty cause notifications to the master pty via reads and
polls. However, these tests are occurring for all ttys, not
just ptys.

Implement flow control packet mode notifications in the pty driver.
Only the slave side implements the flow control handlers since
packet mode is asymmetric; the master pty receives notifications
for slave-side changes, but not vice versa.
