The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.
The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.
The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
the common prefix of the same name.
For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

Patch c5c34d4862e18ef07c1276d233507f540fb5a532 (tty: flush flip buffer on
ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory
leaks.
The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being
pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc().
flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline
receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both
tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it
restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the
buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a
new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost
forever without being released.
(Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting
the bug)
- Use tty->flags bits for the flush status.
- Wait for the flag to clear again before returning
- Fix the doc error noted
- Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending

Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.
Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still
work).
TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.
Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).
Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY.
See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

Restore tty locked ioctl handler which was replaced with
an unlocked ioctl handler in hung_up_tty_fops by the patch:
commit e10cc1df1d2014f68a4bdcf73f6dd122c4561f94
Author: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com>

tty: add compat_ioctl
This was reported in:
[Bug 8473] New: Oops: 0010 [1] SMP
The bug is caused by switching to hung_up_tty_fops in do_tty_hangup. An
ioctl call can be waiting on BLK after testing for existence of the locked
ioctl handler in the normal tty fops, but before calling the locked ioctl
handler. If a hangup occurs at that point, the locked ioctl fop is NULL
and an oops occurs.
(akpm: we can remove my debugging code from do_ioctl() now, but it'll be OK to
do that for 2.6.23)

Fix tty_set_ldisc in tty_io.c so that tty->receive_room is only cleared if
actually changing line disciplines.
Without this fix a problem occurs when requesting the line discipline to
change to the same line discipline. In this case tty->receive_room is
cleared but ldisc->open() is not called to set tty->receive_room back to a
sane value. The result is that tty->receive_room is stuck at 0 preventing
the tty flip buffer from passing receive data to the line discipline.
For example: a switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a select() call for
read input results in data never being received because tty->receive_room
is stuck at zero.
A switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a read() call works because the
read() call itself sets tty->receive_room correctly (but select does not).
Previously (< 2.6.18) this was not a problem because the tty flip buffer
pushed data to the line discipline without regard for tty->receive room.

While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when
we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the
normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader
has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty.
We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the
TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the
essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code.
This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and
who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received
a SIGHUP it was expecting.
In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of
tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h

This patch should contain no functional changes.
At some point I got confused and thought put_pid could not be called while a
spin lock was held. While it may be nice to avoid that to reduce lock hold
times put_pid can be safely called while we hold a spin lock.
This patch removes all of the complications from the code introduced by my
misunderstanding, making the code a little more readable.

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).
This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.
The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.
I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).
Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

These leaks were reported by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marians@gmail.com>
and I have been able to very by inspection they are possible.
When converting tty_io.c to store pids as struct pid pointers instead
of pid_t values it appears I overlooked two places where we stop using
the pid value. The very obvious one is in do_tty_hangup, and the one
the less obvious one in __proc_set_tty.
When looking into the code __proc_set_tty only has pids that need to
be put because of failures of other parts of the code to properly
perform hangup processing. Fixing the leak here in __proc_set_tty
is easy and obviously correct so I am doing that first.
Fixing the places that should be performing hangup processing is much
less obviously correct. So those I'm aiming those patches at -mm.
for now, so the can age a while before they are merged.

This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index.
When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then
pty_close() is called:
if (tty->driver->close)
tty->driver->close(tty, filp);
This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(),
being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed:
#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS
if (tty->driver == ptm_driver)
devpts_pty_kill(tty->index);
#endif
But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for
&devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being
opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index:
driver = get_tty_driver(device, &index);
if (!driver) {
mutex_unlock(&tty_mutex);
return -ENODEV;
}
This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is
that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and
blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem.
When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the
relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps
waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev().
Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty
is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track:
/* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */
if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) {
tty = devpts_get_tty(idx);
if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER)
tty = tty->link;
} else {
tty = driver->ttys[idx];
}
if (tty) goto fast_track;
The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns
sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume.
Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases
the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still
has it.
Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0,
because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls
release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last
slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0,
slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr
index.
This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a
customer's critical application, it's never too simple:
thread1: opens master, gets index X
thread1: begin closing master
thread2: begin opening slave with index X
thread1: finishes closing master, index X released
thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released
thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <----
thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use
and healthy tty and fails
If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the
first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because
you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid.
The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail
imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's
safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev()
won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex.
Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings
like this one:
idr_remove called for id=15 which is not allocated.

Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling
got broken. Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API
was changing so fast I missed something. Regardless currently
triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel.
Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org> for spotting this.
This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data
structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call
schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK. I update both
data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency.
All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone.
If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it
has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate
schedule_work request.

Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting
is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.
In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current) which is racy
with respect to another thread changing our process group. It didn't bite us
because we were dealing with integers and the worse we would get would be a
stale answer.
In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and
prepare the way for pid namespaces this race became apparent.
So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned so
I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race.

To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of
struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous.
To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid
pointer. To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my
caller to hold the appropriate locks. Leaving callers repsonsible for
increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of
the locks.
Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply
uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking
change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all.
tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock. The logic there is a
little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty
to a struct pid pointer.

The code to look at tty_old_pgrp and send SIGHUP and SIGCONT when it is
present only executes when disassociate_ctty is called from do_exit. Make
this clear by adding an explict on_exit check, and explicitly setting
tty_old_pgrp to 0.
In addition fix the locking by reading tty_old_pgrp under the siglock.

The aim of this patch set is to start wrapping up the struct pid conversions.
As such this patchset culminates with the removal of kill_pg, kill_pg_info,
__kill_pg_info, do_each_task_pid, and while_each_task_pid.
kill_proc, daemonize, and kernel_thread are still in my sights but there is
still work to get to them.
The first three are basic cleanups around disassociate_ctty, while working on
converting it I found several issues. tty_old_pgrp can be a tricky concept to
wrap your head around.
1 tty: Make __proc_set_tty static.
2 tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty
3 tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty
These just stop using the old helper functions.
4 signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code.
5 signal: Rewrite kill_something_info so it uses newer helpers.
Then the grind to convert the tty layer and all of it's helper functions to
struct pid.
6 pid: Make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t.
7 pid: Use struct pid for talking about process groups in exit.c
8 pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned
9 tty: Update the tty layer to work with struct pid.
A final helper function update.
10 pid: Replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_task
And the removal of the functions that are now unused.
11 pid: Remove now unused do_each_task_pid and while_each_task_pid
12 pid: Remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_info
All of these should be fairly simple and to the point.
This patch:
Currently all users of __proc_set_tty are in tty_io.c so make the function
static.

This does several things.
- It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process
context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this
operation.
- It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
- This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
- This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
- With the console SAK processing moved into process context this
patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically
update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.
With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed.

This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.
The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The
code patches here ensure that providing
1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)
the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this
point in time.
Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

Fix the locking of signal->tty.
Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
invocations)

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.
The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.
