commit 635a9fca54f4f4148be1ae1c7c6bd37af80f5773 upstream.

Commit 7c0cca7c847e ("tty: ldisc: add sysctl to prevent autoloading of
ldiscs") introduces the tty_ldisc_autoload sysctl with the wrong
proc_handler. .extra1 and .extra2 parameters are set to avoid other values
thant SYSCTL_ZERO or SYSCTL_ONE to be set but proc_dointvec do not uses
them.

This commit fixes this by using proc_dointvec_minmax instead of
proc_dointvec.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of tty/serial driver updates for 6.12-rc1.

  Nothing major in here, just nice forward progress in the slow cleanup
  of the serial apis, and lots of other driver updates and fixes.

  Included in here are:

   - serial api updates from Jiri to make things more uniform and sane

   - 8250_platform driver cleanups

   - samsung serial driver fixes and updates

   - qcom-geni serial driver fixes from Johan for the bizarre UART
     engine that that chip seems to have. Hopefully it's in a better
     state now, but hardware designers still seem to come up with more
     ways to make broken UARTS 40+ years after this all should have
     finished.

   - sc16is7xx driver updates

   - omap 8250 driver updates

   - 8250_bcm2835aux driver updates

   - a few new serial driver bindings added

   - other serial minor driver updates

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported
  problems"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
 "This is the "last" part of the support for the new nbcon consoles.
  Where "nbcon" stays for "No Big console lock CONsoles" aka not under
  the console_lock.

  New callbacks are added to struct console:

   - write_thread() for flushing nbcon consoles in task context.

   - write_atomic() for flushing nbcon consoles in atomic context,
     including NMI.

   - con-&gt;device_lock() and device_unlock() for taking the driver
     specific lock, for example, port-&gt;lock.

  New printk-specific kthreads are created:

   - per-console kthreads which get responsible for flushing normal
     priority messages on nbcon consoles.

   - thread which gets responsible for flushing normal priority messages
     on all consoles when CONFIG_RT enabled.

  The new callbacks are called under a special per-console lock which
  has already been added back in v6.7. It allows to distinguish three
  severities: normal, emergency, and panic. A context with a higher
  priority could take over the ownership when it is safe even in the
  middle of handling a record. The panic context could do it even when
  it is not safe. But it is allowed only for the final desperate flush
  before entering the infinite loop.

  The new lock helps to flush the messages directly in emergency and
  panic contexts. But it is not enough in all situations:

   - console_lock() is still need for synchronization against boot
     consoles.

   - con-&gt;device_lock() is need for synchronization against other
     operations on the same HW, e.g. serial port speed setting,
     non-printk related read/write.

  The dependency on con-&gt;device_lock() is mutual. Any code taking the
  driver specific lock has to acquire the related nbcon console context
  as well. For example, see the new uart_port_lock() API. It provides
  the necessary synchronization against emergency and panic contexts
  where the messages are flushed only under the new per-console lock.

  Maybe surprisingly, a quite tricky part is the decision how to flush
  the consoles in various situations. It has to take into account:

   - message priority:    normal, emergency, panic

   - scheduling context:  task, atomic, deferred_legacy

   - registered consoles: boot, legacy, nbcon

   - threads are running: early boot, suspend, shutdown, panic

   - caller:              printk(), pr_flush(), printk_flush_in_panic(),
                          console_unlock(), console_start(), ...

  The primary decision is made in printk_get_console_flush_type(). It
  creates a hint what the caller should do:

   - flush nbcon consoles directly or via the kthread

   - call the legacy loop (console_unlock()) directly or via irq_work

  The existing behavior is preserved for the legacy consoles. The only
  exception is that they are not longer flushed directly from printk()
  in panic() before CPUs are stopped. But this blocking happens only
  when at least one nbcon console is registered. The motivation is to
  increase a chance to produce the crash dump. They legacy consoles
  might create a deadlock in compare with nbcon consoles. The nbcon
  console should allow to see the messages even when the crash dump
  fails.

  There are three possible ways how nbcon consoles are flushed:

   - The per-nbcon-console kthread is responsible for flushing messages
     added with the normal priority. This is the default mode.

   - The legacy loop, aka console_unlock(), is used when there is still
     a boot console registered. There is no easy way how to match an
     early console driver with a nbcon console driver. And the
     console_lock() provides the only reliable serialization at the
     moment.

     The legacy loop uses either con-&gt;write_atomic() or
     con-&gt;write_thread() callbacks depending on whether it is allowed to
     schedule. The atomic variant has to be used from printk().

   - In other situations, the messages are flushed directly using
     write_atomic() which can be called in any context, including NMI.
     It is primary needed during early boot or shutdown, in emergency
     situations, and panic.

  The emergency priority is used by a code called within
  nbcon_cpu_emergency_enter()/exit(). At the moment, it is used in four
  situations: WARN(), Oops, lockdep, and RCU stall reports.

  Finally, there is no nbcon console at the moment. It means that the
  changes should _not_ modify the existing behavior. The only exception
  is CONFIG_RT which would force offloading the legacy loop, for normal
  priority context, into the dedicated kthread"

<title>file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1934b212615dc617ac84fc306333ab2b9fc3b04f</id>
<content type='text'>
We do embedd struct fown_struct into struct file letting it take up 32
bytes in total. We could tweak struct fown_struct to be more compact but
really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place.

Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct should allocate the struct
on demand. This frees up 24 bytes in struct file.

That will have some potentially user-visible changes for the ownership
fcntl()s. Some of them can now fail due to allocation failures.
Practically, that probably will almost never happen as the allocations
are small and they only happen once per file.

The fown_struct is used during kill_fasync() which is used by e.g.,
pipes to generate a SIGIO signal. Sending of such signals is conditional
on userspace having set an owner for the file using one of the F_OWNER
fcntl()s. Such users will be unaffected if struct fown_struct is
allocated during the fcntl() call.

There are a few subsystems that call __f_setown() expecting
file-&gt;f_owner to be allocated:

(1) tun devices
    file-&gt;f_op-&gt;fasync::tun_chr_fasync()
    -&gt; __f_setown()

    There are no callers of tun_chr_fasync().

(2) tty devices

    file-&gt;f_op-&gt;fasync::tty_fasync()
    -&gt; __tty_fasync()
       -&gt; __f_setown()

    tty_fasync() has no additional callers but __tty_fasync() has. Note
    that __tty_fasync() only calls __f_setown() if the @on argument is
    true. It's called from:

    file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release::tty_release()
    -&gt; tty_release()
       -&gt; __tty_fasync()
          -&gt; __f_setown()

    tty_release() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
    =&gt; __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
       =&gt; All callers of tty_release() are safe as well.

    file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release::tty_open()
    -&gt; tty_release()
       -&gt; __tty_fasync()
          -&gt; __f_setown()

    __tty_hangup() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
    =&gt; __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
       =&gt; All callers of __tty_hangup() are safe as well.

From the callchains it's obvious that (1) and (2) end up getting called
via file-&gt;f_op-&gt;fasync(). That can happen either through the F_SETFL
fcntl() with the FASYNC flag raised or via the FIOASYNC ioctl(). If
FASYNC is requested and the file isn't already FASYNC then
file-&gt;f_op-&gt;fasync() is called with @on true which ends up causing both
(1) and (2) to call __f_setown().

(1) and (2) are the only subsystems that call __f_setown() from the
file-&gt;f_op-&gt;fasync() handler. So both (1) and (2) have been updated to
allocate a struct fown_struct prior to calling fasync_helper() to
register with the fasync infrastructure. That's safe as they both call
fasync_helper() which also does allocations if @on is true.

The other interesting case are file leases:

(3) file leases
    lease_manager_ops-&gt;lm_setup::lease_setup()
    -&gt; __f_setown()

    Which in turn is called from:

    generic_add_lease()
    -&gt; lease_manager_ops-&gt;lm_setup::lease_setup()
       -&gt; __f_setown()

So here again we can simply make generic_add_lease() allocate struct
fown_struct prior to the lease_manager_ops-&gt;lm_setup::lease_setup()
which happens under a spinlock.

With that the two remaining subsystems that call __f_setown() are:

(4) dnotify
(5) sockets

Both have their own custom ioctls to set struct fown_struct and both
have been converted to allocate a struct fown_struct on demand from
their respective ioctls.

Interactions with O_PATH are fine as well e.g., when opening a /dev/tty
as O_PATH then no file-&gt;f_op-&gt;open() happens thus no file-&gt;f_owner is
allocated. That's fine as no file operation will be set for those and
the device has never been opened. fcntl()s called on such things will
just allocate a -&gt;f_owner on demand. Although I have zero idea why'd you
care about f_owner on an O_PATH fd.

  (someday this might work properly...)

  Along with those, in here are changes for:

   - sc16is7xx serial driver updates

   - platform driver removal api updates

   - amba-pl011 driver updates

   - tty driver binding updates

   - other small tty/serial driver updates and changes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

<title>usb: cdc-acm: return correct error code on unsupported break</title>

<content type='text'>
In ACM support for sending breaks to devices is optional.
If a device says that it doenot support sending breaks,
the host must respect that.
Given the number of optional features providing tty operations
for each combination is not practical and errors need to be
returned dynamically if unsupported features are requested.

In case a device does not support break, we want the tty layer
to treat that like it treats drivers that statically cannot
support sending a break. It ignores the inability and does nothing.
This patch uses EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that.
