[ Upstream commit e0f25b8992345aa5f113da2815f5add98738c611 ]

The capability CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE was introduced to allow non-root
users to checkpoint and restore processes as non-root with CRIU.

This change extends CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to enable the CRIU option
'--shell-job' as non-root. CRIU's man-page describes the '--shell-job'
option like this:

  Allow one to dump shell jobs. This implies the restored task will
  inherit session and process group ID from the criu itself. This option
  also allows to migrate a single external tty connection, to migrate
  applications like top.

TIOCSLCKTRMIOS can only be done if the process has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and
this change extends it to CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

With this change it is possible to checkpoint and restore processes
which have a tty connection as non-root if CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is
set.

<title>tty: Prevent writing chars during tcsetattr TCSADRAIN/FLUSH</title>

commit 094fb49a2d0d6827c86d2e0840873e6db0c491d2 upstream.

If userspace races tcsetattr() with a write, the drained condition
might not be guaranteed by the kernel. There is a race window after
checking Tx is empty before tty_set_termios() takes termios_rwsem for
write. During that race window, more characters can be queued by a
racing writer.

Any ongoing transmission might produce garbage during HW's
-&gt;set_termios() call. The intent of TCSADRAIN/FLUSH seems to be
preventing such a character corruption. If those flags are set, take
tty's write lock to stop any writer before performing the lower layer
Tx empty check and wait for the pending characters to be sent (if any).

The initial wait for all-writers-done must be placed outside of tty's
write lock to avoid deadlock which makes it impossible to use
tty_wait_until_sent(). The write lock is retried if a racing write is
detected.

<content type='text'>
Many tty drivers contain code to compute bits count depending on termios
cflags. So extract this code from serial core to two separate tty helper
functions:
* tty_get_char_size -- only size of a character, without flags,
* tty_get_frame_size -- complete size of a frame including flags.

In the next patch, calls to these new functions replace many copies of
this code.

Note that we accept only cflag as a parameter. That's because some
callers like pch_uart_startup or sunsab_console_setup don't have at hand
termios which we could pass around.

<title>tty: cumulate and document tty_struct::flow* members</title>

<id>6e94dbc7a4e49a028b81302d755bba1a518f973b</id>
<content type='text'>
Group the flow flags under a single struct called flow. The new struct
contains 'stopped' and 'tco_stopped' bools which used to be bits in a
bitfield. The struct also contains the lock protecting them to
potentially share the same cache line.

Note that commit c545b66c6922b (tty: Serialize tcflow() with other tty
flow control changes) added a padding to the original bitfield. It was
for the bitfield to occupy a whole 64b word to avoid interferring stores
on Alpha (cannot we evaporate this arch with weird implications to C
code yet?). But it doesn't work as expected as the padding
(tty_struct::unused) is aligned to a 8B boundary too and occupies some
bytes from the next word.

So make it reliable by:
1) setting __aligned of the struct -- that aligns the start, and
2) making 'unsigned long unused[0]' as the last member of the struct --
   pads the end.

This is also the perfect time to start the documentation of tty_struct
where all this lives. So we start by documenting what these bools
actually serve for. And why we do all the alignment dances. Only the few
up-to-date information from the Theodore's comment made it into this new
Kerneldoc comment.

The flow change and restricted_tty_write() logic is internal to the tty
core only, so move it out of the include/linux/tty.h file.

<title>tty: fix return value for unsupported termiox ioctls</title>

Drivers should return -ENOTTY ("Inappropriate I/O control operation")
when an ioctl isn't supported, while -EINVAL is used for invalid
arguments.

Support for termiox was added by commit 1d65b4a088de ("tty: Add
termiox") in 2008 but no driver support ever followed and it was
recently ripped out by commit e0efb3168d34 ("tty: Remove dead termiox
code").

Fix the return value for the unsupported termiox ioctls, which have
always returned -EINVAL, by explicitly returning -ENOTTY rather than
removing them completely and falling back to the default unrecognised-
ioctl handling.
