[ Upstream commit 2b022ab7542df60021ab57854b3faaaf42552eaf ]

In case that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is on and pty is used, races between
release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc work threads may happen and lead
to use-after-free condition on tty-&gt;link-&gt;port. Because SLUB_DEBUG
is turned on, freed tty-&gt;link-&gt;port is filled with POISON_FREE value.
So far without SLUB_DEBUG, port was filled with zero and flush_to_ldisc
could return without a problem by checking if tty is NULL.

commit b027e2298bd588d6fa36ed2eda97447fb3eac078 upstream.

There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before
tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty-&gt;disc_data
may be NULL.

CPU0					CPU1
----					----
 000|n_tty_receive_buf_common()   	n_tty_open()
-001|n_tty_receive_buf2()		tty_ldisc_open.isra.3()
-002|tty_ldisc_receive_buf(inline)	tty_ldisc_setup()

Using ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev till disc_data
initializes completely.

<title>tty: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/tty/</title>

<id>e3b3d0f549c1d19b94e6ac55c66643166ea649ef</id>
<content type='text'>
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and IIO driver update for 4.14-rc1.

  Lots of staging driver fixes and cleanups, including some reorginizing
  of the lustre header files to try to impose some sanity on what is,
  and what is not, the uapi for that filesystem.

  There are some tty core changes in here as well, as the speakup
  drivers need them, and that's ok with me, they are sane and the
  speakup code is getting nicer because of it.

  There is also the addition of the obiligatory new wifi driver, just
  because it has been a release or two since we added our last one...

  Other than that, lots and lots of small coding style fixes, as usual.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

<content type='text'>
This patch adds "tty-index" field to /proc/PID/fdinfo/N if N
specifies /dev/ptmx. The field shows the index of associative
slave pts.

Though a minor number is given for each pts instance, ptmx is not.
It means there is no way in user-space to know the association between
file descriptors for pts/n and ptmx. (n = 0, 1, ...)

This is different from pipe. About pipe such association can be solved
by inode of pipefs.

Providing the way to know the association between pts/n and ptmx helps
users understand the status of running system. lsof can utilize this field.

<title>tty: resolve tty contention between kernel and user space</title>

<id>a09ac3974d0c0b25dfa70f8076546bc4876dd7a8</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit 12e84c71b7d4 ("tty: export tty_open_by_driver") exports
tty_open_by_device to allow tty to be opened from inside kernel which
works fine except that it doesn't handle contention with user space or
another kernel-space open of the same tty. For example, opening a tty
from user space while it is kernel opened results in failure and a
kernel log message about mismatch between tty-&gt;count and tty's file
open count.

This patch makes kernel access to tty exclusive, so that if a user
process or kernel opens a kernel opened tty, it gets -EBUSY. It does
this by adding TTY_KOPENED flag to tty-&gt;flags. When this flag is set,
tty_open_by_driver returns -EBUSY. Instead of overloading
tty_open_by_driver for both kernel and user space, this
patch creates a separate function tty_kopen which closely follows
tty_open_by_driver. tty_kclose closes the tty opened by tty_kopen.

To address the mismatch between tty-&gt;count and #fd's, this patch adds
#kopen's to the count before comparing it with tty-&gt;count. That way
check_tty_count reflects correct usage count.

Returning -EBUSY on tty open is a change in the interface. I have
tested this with minicom, picocom and commands like "echo foo &gt;
/dev/ttyS0". They all correctly report "Device or resource busy" when
the tty is already kernel opened.

<title>pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=311fc65c9fb9c966bca8e6f3ff8132ce57344ab9'/>
<id>311fc65c9fb9c966bca8e6f3ff8132ce57344ab9</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.

When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open.  Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.

To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called.  This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached.  Thus removing the need for caching the path.

A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget.   The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.

v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work
v3: Suggestions by Linus
    - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer
    - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required

[ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit
  143c97cc6529, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
  increased reference counts   - Linus ]

The function converts strings like ttyS0 and ttyUSB0 to dev_t like
(4, 64) and (188, 0). It does this by scanning tty_drivers list for
corresponding device name and index. If the driver is not registered,
this function returns -ENODEV. It also acquires tty_mutex.
