2008-08-15tty: remove resize window special caseAlan Cox
This moves it to being a tty operation. That removes special cases and now also means that resize can be picked up by um and other non vt consoles which may have a resize operation. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-20tty: Introduce a tty_port common structureAlan Cox
Every tty driver has its own concept of a port structure and because they all differ we cannot extract commonality. Begin fixing this by creating a structure drivers can elect to use so that over time we can push fields into this and create commonality and then introduce common methods.

2008-07-20tty: Ldisc revampAlan Cox
Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement. For the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty. Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-04-28[patch 1/2] audit: let userspace fully control TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
Remove the code that automatically disables TTY input auditing in processes that open TTYs when they have no other TTY open; this heuristic was intended to automatically handle daemons, but it has false positives (e.g. with sshd) that make it impossible to control TTY input auditing from a PAM module. With this patch, TTY input auditing is controlled from user-space only. On the other hand, not even for daemons does it make sense to audit "input" from PTY masters; this data was produced by a program writing to the PTY slave, and does not represent data entered by the user.

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.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov
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.

2007-08-11fix serial buffer memory leakAlan Cox
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 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurentp@cse-semaphore.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-16Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
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> Date: Thu May 10 22:22:50 2007 -0700 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.
