vt: synchronize_rcu() under spinlock is not nice...

2013-04-05T17:16:36+00:00

commit e8cd81693bbbb15db57d3c9aa7dd90eda4842874 upstream. vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu(). Do it *after* we'd dropped ->f_lock. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-28T14:32:27+00:00

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream. I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-28T14:32:27+00:00

commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream. Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order. This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

TTY: Wrong unicode value copied in con_set_unimap()

2012-04-02T16:26:53+00:00

commit 4a4c61b7ce26bfc9d49ea4bd121d52114bad9f99 upstream. Bugzilla 40012: PIO_UNIMAP bug: error updating Unicode-to-font map https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40012 The unicode font map for the virtual console is a 32x32x64 table which allocates rows dynamically as entries are added. The unicode value increases sequentially and should count all entries even in empty rows. The defect is when copying the unicode font map in con_set_unimap(), the unicode value is not incremented properly. The wrong unicode value is entered in the new font map.

drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c: fix KDFONTOP 32bit compatibility layer

2012-02-13T19:06:05+00:00

commit cbcb8346054073d000ecac324763372d6abd44ac upstream. KDFONTOP(GET) currently fails with EIO when being run in a 32bit userland with a 64bit kernel if the font width is not 8. This is because of the setting of the KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD flag, which makes con_font_get return EIO in such case. This flag should *not* be set for KDFONTOP, since it's actually the whole point of this flag (see comment in con_font_set for instance).

Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"

2011-06-03T21:33:24+00:00

This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received

2011-04-23T00:31:53+00:00

it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB serial gadget driver.

tty: Clean console safely

2011-04-19T23:33:37+00:00

Traditional \E[2J sequence erases console display but scroll-back buffer and underlying device (frame) buffer keep data that can be accessed by scrolling console back. This patch introduce new \E[J parameter 3 that allows to scramble scroll-back buffer explicitly. Session locking programs (screen, vlock) can use it to prevent attacker to browse locked console history. Signed-off-by: Petr Písař Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
