Alan Cox d18a750fe9 stallion: Use krefs
Use tty_port_init and krefs in the stallion drivers to protect us from devices
going away underneath us. As with the other drives some rearranging is done to
pass the tty structure down properly on the user side.

Alan Cox d450b5a019 tty: kref usage for isicom and moxa
Rather than blindly keep taking krefs we reorder the code in a few places
to pass the tty down to the right place (which is important as from the user
side it is not the case that tty == port->tty in all situations). For the irq
and related paths use the krefs to stop the tty being freed under us.

Alan Cox 4a90f09b20 tty: usb-serial krefs
Use kref in the USB serial drivers so that we don't free tty structures
from under the URB receive handlers as has historically been the case if
you were unlucky. This also gives us a framework for general tty drivers to
use tty_port objects and refcount.

Contains two err->dev_err changes merged together to fix clashes in the
-next tree.

Alan Cox 452a00d2ee tty: Make get_current_tty use a kref
We now return a kref covered tty reference. That ensures the tty structure
doesn't go away when you have a return from get_current_tty. This is not
enough to protect you from most of the resources being freed behind your
back - yet.

Alan Cox 1d65b4a088 tty: Add termiox
We need a way to describe the various additional modes and flow control
features that random weird hardware shows up and software such as wine
wants to emulate as Windows supports them.

TCGETX/TCSETX and the termiox ioctl are a SYS5 extension that we might as
well adopt. This patches adds the structures and the basic ioctl interfaces
when the TCGETX etc defines are added for an architecture. Drivers wishing
to use this stuff need to add new methods.

This came in via another tree and unfortunately is rather broken on

the driver to look at.

Fix the termios and other ioctl handling. The driver was calling the wrong
methods for what it wanted to do but the right ones existed so its a simple
fix up.

Alan Cox c26c56c0f4 tty: Cris has a nice RS485 ioctl so we should steal it
JP Tosoni observed:

"About a RS485 ioctl: could you consider the attached files which are
 already in the Linux kernel (in include/asm-cris).  They define a
 TIOCSERSETRS485 (ioctl.h), and the data structure (rs485.h)
 with allows to specify timings. Sounds just like what we want ?"

and he's right: sort of. Rework the structure to use flag bits and make the
time delay a fixed sized field so we don't get 32/64bit problems. Add the ioctls
to x86 so that people know what to add to their platform of choice.

Alan Cox 6f967f7891 tty: use krefs to protect driver module counts
The tty layer keeps driver module counts that are used so the driver knows
when it can be unloaded. For obvious reasons we want to tie that to the
refcounting properly.

At this point the driver side itself isn't refcounted nicely but we can do
that later and kref the drivers.

David Miller b70ac77185 serial: allow 8250 to be used on sparc
This requires three changes:

1) Remove !SPARC restriction in Kconfig.

2) Move Sparc specific serial drivers before 8250, so that serial
   console devices don't change names on us, even if 8250 finds
   devices.

3) Since the Sparc specific serial drivers try to use the
   same major/minor device namespace as 8250, some coordination
   is necessary.  Use the sunserial_*() layer routines to allocate
   minor number space within TTY_MAJOR when CONFIG_SPARC.

   This has no effect on other platforms.

Thanks to Josip Rodin for bringing up this issue and testing
plus debugging various revisions of this patch.

Jason Wessel 4ad6de0b3f usb: fix pl2303 initialization
This patch removes the private check for the termios_initialized for
the pl2303 usb driver.  It forced the baud to 9600 on the first call
to pl2303_set_termios()

Based on the tty changes in the 2.6.27 kernel, the termios passed to
the *_set_termios functions is always populated the first time.

This means there is no need to privately initialize the settings the
first time, and doing so will not allow the use of the kernel
parameter "console=ttyUSB0,115200" as an example.

Miloslav Trmac 7459b6ff36 audit: Handle embedded NUL in TTY input auditing
Data read from a TTY can contain an embedded NUL byte (e.g. after
pressing Ctrl-2, or sent to a PTY).  After the previous patch, the data
would be logged only up to the first NUL.

This patch modifies the AUDIT_TTY record to always use the hexadecimal
format, which does not terminate at the first NUL byte.  The vast
majority of recorded TTY input data will contain either ' ' or '\n', so
the hexadecimal format would have been used anyway.

Julia Lawall 2571cd6a8e drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driver
The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong
argument.

The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores
the result in drv.  Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error
handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to
stop_thread.  At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv
has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it
seems that hvc_driver would be NULL.  Thus the current call to
put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed.  The goto
stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to
tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free
its argument, so it should be done here.  Thus, I have moved the put_tty
label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both
cases.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

David Woodhouse 239cfbde1f Fix autoloading of MacBook Pro backlight driver.
Use new MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, ...) facility. There's no need for
every driver to screw it up for themselves, when the alias can be
generated automatically.

David Woodhouse d945b697d0 Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.
This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx).

I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays,
and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it
bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this
introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so
it shouldn't matter too much.

(Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of
them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but
doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).
