<title>pty: make sure super_block is still valid in final /dev/tty close</title>

Considering current pty code and multiple devpts instances, it's possible
to umount a devpts file system while a program still has /dev/tty opened
pointing to a previosuly closed pty pair in that instance. In the case all
ptmx and pts/N files are closed, umount can be done. If the program closes
/dev/tty after umount is done, devpts_kill_index will use now an invalid
super_block, which was already destroyed in the umount operation after
running -&gt;kill_sb. This is another "use after free" type of issue, but now
related to the allocated super_block instance.

To avoid the problem (warning at ida_remove and potential crashes) for
this specific case, I added two functions in devpts which grabs additional
references to the super_block, which pty code now uses so it makes sure
the super block structure is still valid until pty shutdown is done.
I also moved the additional inode references to the same functions, which
also covered similar case with inode being freed before /dev/tty final
close/shutdown.

<title>pty: fix possible use after free of tty-&gt;driver_data</title>

<id>2831c89f42dcde440cfdccb9fee9f42d54bbc1ef</id>
<content type='text'>
This change fixes a bug for a corner case where we have the the last
release from a pty master/slave coming from a previously opened /dev/tty
file. When this happens, the tty-&gt;driver_data can be stale, due to all
ptmx or pts/N files having already been closed before (and thus the inode
related to these files, which tty-&gt;driver_data points to, being already
freed/destroyed).

The fix here is to keep a reference on the opened master ptmx inode.
We maintain the inode referenced until the final pty_unix98_shutdown,
and only pass this inode to devpts_kill_index.

The tty core invokes the optional driver shutdown() just before
the optional driver remove() (shutdown() has access to the termios
and remove() does not). Because pty drivers must prevent the default
remove() action, the Unix98 pty drivers define a dummy remove() function.

Instead, release the slave index in the remove() method and delete the
optional shutdown() method.

release_tty() leaks the ldisc instance when called directly (rather
than when releasing the file descriptor from tty_release()).

Since tty_ldisc_release() clears tty-&gt;ldisc, releasing the ldisc
instance at tty teardown if tty-&gt;ldisc is non-null is not in danger
of double-releasing the ldisc.

Remove deinitialize_tty_struct() now that free_tty_struct() always
performs the tty_ldisc_deinit().

Now that tty_debug() macro uses pr_debug(), the function name can
be printed when using dynamic debug; printing the function name within
the format string is redundant.

Remove the __func__ parameter and print specifier from the format string.
Add context to messages for when the function name is not printed by
dynamic debug, or when dynamic debug is not enabled.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/tty/Kconfig:config LEGACY_PTYS
drivers/tty/Kconfig:    bool "Legacy (BSD) PTY support"

...and:

drivers/tty/Kconfig:config UNIX98_PTYS
drivers/tty/Kconfig:    bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT

combined with this:

obj-$(CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS)       += pty.o
obj-$(CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS)       += pty.o

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the traces of modularity we can so that when reading the
driver there is less doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't delete the module.h include since other parts of the file are
using content from there.
