commit ee0c1a65cf95230d5eb3d9de94fd2ead9a428c67 upstream.

The correct lock order is atomic_write_lock =&gt; termios_rwsem, as
established by tty_write() =&gt; n_tty_write().

Fixes: c274f6ef1c666 ("tty: Hold termios_rwsem for tcflow(TCIxxx)")

commit 0c55627167870255158db1cde0d28366f91c8872 upstream.

This is mostly a hardening fix, given that write-only access to other
users' ttys is usually only given through setgid tty executables.

tty_name no longer uses the buf parameter, so remove it along with all
the 64 byte stack buffers that used to be passed in.

Mostly generated by the coccinelle script

@depends on patch@
identifier buf;
constant C;
expression tty;
@@
- char buf[C];
  &lt;+...
- tty_name(tty, buf)
+ tty_name(tty)
  ...+&gt;

allmodconfig compiles, so I'm fairly confident the stack buffers
weren't used for other purposes as well.

All users of tty_name pass the return value (the provided buffer) to
some printf-like function. We can thus avoid the strcpy and, more
importantly, later remove the buf parameter completely, eliminating
the need for some 64 byte stack buffers.

All users of tty_name pass the result directly to a printf-like
function. This means we can actually let tty_name return the literal
"NULL tty" or tty-&gt;name directly, avoiding the strcpy and a lot of
medium-sized stack buffers. In preparation for that, make the return
type const char*.

While at it, we can also constify the tty parameter.

We only care if anything other than the lower 3 bits of the tty has
changed, so just check that way, which makes it a bit faster, and more
obvious what is going on.  Also, document this for future developers to
understand why we did this.

<id>f0bf0bd07943bfde8f5ac39a32664810a379c7d3</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Exclusive mode ttys (TTY_EXCLUSIVE) do not allow further reopens;
fail the condition before associating the file pointer and calling
the driver open() method.

Prevents DTR programming when the tty is already in exclusive mode.

The functions put_device() and tty_kref_put() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
