When echoes cannot be flushed to output (usually because the tty
has no more write room) and L_ECHO is subsequently turned off, then
when L_ECHO is turned back on, stale echoes are output.
Output completed echoes regardless of the L_ECHO setting:
1. before normal writes to that tty
2. if the tty was stopped by soft flow control and is being
restarted

Commit eafbe67f84761d787802e5113d895a316b6292fe,
n_tty: Refactor input_available_p() by call site
broke poll() when TIME_CHAR(tty) and MIN_CHAR(tty) are both 0.
When TIME_CHAR and MIN_CHAR are both 0, input is available if the
read_cnt is 1 (not 0).

With block processing of echoed output, observed output order is still
required. Push completed echoes and echo commands prior to output.
Introduce echo_mark echo buffer index, which tracks completed echo
commands; ie., those submitted via commit_echoes but which may not
have been committed. Ensure that completed echoes are output prior
to subsequent terminal writes in process_echoes().
Fixes newline/prompt output order in cooked mode shell.

readline() inadvertently triggers an error recovery path when
pastes larger than 4k overrun the line discipline buffer. The
error recovery path discards input when the line discipline buffer
is full and operating in canonical mode and no newline has been
received. Because readline() changes the termios to non-canonical
mode to read the line char-by-char, the line discipline buffer
can become full, and then when readline() restores termios back
to canonical mode for the caller, the now-full line discipline
buffer triggers the error recovery.
When changing termios from non-canon to canon mode and the read
buffer contains data, simulate an EOF push _without_ the
DISABLED_CHAR in the read buffer.
Importantly for the readline() problem, the termios can be
changed back to non-canonical mode without changes to the read
buffer occurring; ie., as if the previous termios change had not
happened (as long as no intervening read took place).
Preserve existing userspace behavior which allows '\0's already
received in non-canon mode to be read as '\0's in canon mode
(rather than trigger add'l EOF pushes or an actual EOF).

Although the maximum allowable canonical line is specified to

read buffer and a userspace buffer > 4095, _no_ data was copied,
and the read() syscall returned 0, indicating EOF.

Commit f95499c3030fe1bfad57745f2db1959c5b43dca8,
n_tty: Don't wait for buffer work in read() loop
creates a race window which can cause a pty master read()
to miss the last pty slave write(s) and return -EIO instead,
thus signalling the pty slave is closed. This can happen when
the pty slave is written and immediately closed but before the
tty buffer i/o loop receives the new input; the pty master
read() is scheduled, sees its read buffer is empty and the
pty slave has been closed, and exits.
Because tty_flush_to_ldisc() has significant performance impact
for parallel i/o, rather than revert the commit, special case this
condition (ie., when the read buffer is empty and the 'other' pty
has been closed) and, only then, wait for buffer work to complete
before re-testing if the read buffer is still empty.
As before, subsequent pty master reads return any available data
until no more data is available, and then returns -EIO to
indicate the pty slave has closed.

Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between
atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock
order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a
read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring
a read lock on the same r/w semaphore.
Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether
the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph,
merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write.
Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so
termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without
triggering lockdep.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.
The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.
Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

Byte-by-byte echo output is painfully slow, requiring a lock/unlock
cycle for every input byte.
Instead, perform the echo output in blocks of 256 characters, and
at least once per flip buffer receive. Enough space is reserved in
the echo buffer to guarantee a full block can be saved without
overrunning the echo output. Overrun is prevented by discarding
the oldest echoes until enough space exists in the echo buffer
to receive at least a full block of new echoes.
