tty: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-08T12:08:12+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all tty files, that identifies the license
in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text wording
can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

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

2017-11-08T12:08:12+00:00

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.

tty: audit: remove unused variable

2016-03-08T00:11:14+00:00

While building with W=1 we were getting build warning:
drivers/tty/tty_audit.c:149:16: warning: variable 'sessionid' set but not used

The local variable sessionid was only assigned the value of
current->sessionid but was never reused. On further inspection it turned
out that there is no need of audit_get_loginuid() also.

tty: audit: Simplify first-use allocation

2016-01-28T00:41:04+00:00

The first-use tty audit buffer allocation is a potential race
amongst multiple attempts at 'first-use'; only one 'winner' is
acceptable.

The successful buffer assignment occurs if tty_audit_buf == NULL
(which will also be the return from cmpxchg()); otherwise, another
racer 'won' and this buffer allocation is freed.

tty: audit: Remove tty_audit_buf reference counting

2016-01-28T00:41:04+00:00

When tty_audit_exit() is called from do_exit(), the process is
single-threaded. Since the tty_audit_buf is only shared by threads
of a process, no other thread can be concurrently accessing the
tty_audit_buf during or after tty_audit_exit().

Thus, no other thread can be holding an extra tty_audit_buf reference
which would prevent tty_audit_exit() from freeing the tty_audit_buf.
As that is the only purpose of the ref counting, remove the reference
counting and free the tty_audit_buf directly.

tty: audit: Remove false memory optimization

2016-01-28T00:41:04+00:00

The tty audit buffer is allocated at first use and not freed until
the process exits. If tty audit is turned off after the audit buffer
has been allocated, no effort is made to release the buffer.
So re-checking if tty audit has just been turned off when tty audit
was just on is false optimization; the likelihood of triggering this
condition is exceedingly small.
