This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

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.

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
143c97cc65, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
increased reference counts - Linus ]

This reverts commit c8c03f1858.
It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the
correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good
thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason.
The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X)
are on different mounts. That was what caused us to have the wrong path
in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node,
with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while
we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts
mount busy.
And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann:
"This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder
0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to
create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside
the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration
file[3] attached).
[...]

W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy
(In some cases useful info about processes that
use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)"
apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still
holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice,
but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs.
So this commit has to be reverted.
I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty
in the master pty. The only thing that actually wants that slave pty
path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the
path at that time.

Christian Brauner reported that if you use the TIOCGPTPEER ioctl() to
get a slave pty file descriptor, the resulting file descriptor doesn't
look right in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>. In particular, he wanted to use
readlink() on /proc/self/fd/<fd> to get the pathname of the slave pty
(basically implementing "ptsname{_r}()").
The reason for that was that we had generated the wrong 'struct path'
when we create the pty in ptmx_open().
In particular, the dentry was correct, but the vfsmount pointed to the
mount of the ptmx node. That _can_ be correct - in case you use
"/dev/pts/ptmx" to open the master - but usually is not. The normal
case is to use /dev/ptmx, which then looks up the pts/ directory, and
then the vfsmount of the ptmx node is obviously the /dev directory, not
the /dev/pts/ directory.
We actually did have the right vfsmount available, but in the wrong
place (it gets looked up in 'devpts_acquire()' when we get a reference
to the pts filesystem), and so ptmx_open() used the wrong mnt pointer.
The end result of this confusion was that the pty worked fine, but when
if you did TIOCGPTPEER to get the slave side of the pty, end end result
would also work, but have that dodgy 'struct path'.
And then when doing "d_path()" on to get the pathname, the vfsmount
would not match the root of the pts directory, and d_path() would return
an empty pathname thinking that the entry had escaped a bind mount into
another mount.
This fixes the problem by making devpts_acquire() return the vfsmount
for the pts filesystem, allowing ptmx_open() to trivially just use the
right mount for the pts dentry, and create the proper 'struct path'.

When opening the slave end of a PTY, it is not possible for userspace to
safely ensure that /dev/pts/$num is actually a slave (in cases where the
mount namespace in which devpts was mounted is controlled by an
untrusted process). In addition, there are several unresolvable
race conditions if userspace were to attempt to detect attacks through
stat(2) and other similar methods [in addition it is not clear how
userspace could detect attacks involving FUSE].
Resolve this by providing an interface for userpace to safely open the
"peer" end of a PTY file descriptor by using the dentry cached by
devpts. Since it is not possible to have an open master PTY without
having its slave exposed in /dev/pts this interface is safe. This
interface currently does not provide a way to get the master pty (since
it is not clear whether such an interface is safe or even useful).

While using emacs, cat or others' commands in konsole with recent

konsole freeze I can't type anything, then I have to open a new one,
it is very annoying.
See bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175283
The platform in that bug report is Solaris, but now the pty in linux
has the same problem or the same behavior as Solaris :)
It has high possibility to trigger the problem follow steps below:
Note: In my test, BigFile is a text file whose size is bigger than 1G
1:open konsole
1:cat BigFile
2:CTRL-C
After some digging, I find out the reason is that commit 1d1d14da12
("pty: Fix buffer flush deadlock") changes the behavior of pty_flush_buffer.
Thread A Thread B
-------- --------
1:n_tty_poll return POLLIN
2:CTRL-C trigger pty_flush_buffer

n_tty_flush_buffer
3:attempt to check count of chars:
ioctl(fd, TIOCINQ, &available)
available is equal to 0
4:read(fd, buffer, avaiable)
return 0
5:konsole close fd
Yes, I know we could use the same patch included in the BUG report as
a workaround for linux platform too. But I think the data in ldisc is
belong to application of another side, we shouldn't clear it when we
want to flush write buffer of this side in pty_flush_buffer. So I think
it is better to disable ldisc flush in pty_flush_buffer, because its new
hehavior bring no benefit except that it mess up the behavior between
POLLIN, and TIOCINQ or FIONREAD.
Also I find no flush_buffer function in others' tty driver has the
same behavior as current pty_flush_buffer.

The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.
The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.
Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.
Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.
A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.
In the implementation of devpts:
- devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
devpts are equal.
- pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
- devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the
unnecessary inode hold is removed.
- devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
deacrivate_super.
- The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
ignored.
In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.
Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.
This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,
centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3,

slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code
cleanup with no actual semantic changes.
This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty
side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than
the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code
for when we want to remove it again.
Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to
"dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this
removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller,
it's simpler and easier to understand.
The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just
find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in
turn validated the tty pointer in the inode.
That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty
pointer when the dentry is removed".
The new code just does
dentry->d_fsdata = NULL;
in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more
directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the
obvious straightforward approach will do.
The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty
pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the
dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that
struct inode *ptmx_inode
be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts.
By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner,
and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will
allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time,
and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode.
The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some
locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical:
- the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *"
instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now.
NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure
as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely
internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any
way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code.
- the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that
also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock.
So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get
ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op
(devpts_put_ref()).
- the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info,
not the ptmx inode.
- because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of
base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just
gets the ref on the superblock.
- the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so
that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although
quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having
to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more
straightforward.
In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really
be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're
associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time.
The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated
with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single
/dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own
instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane
in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time.
This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple
pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only
an internal binding model.

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 ->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.
