Alan Cox adc8d746ca tty: move the termios object into the tty
This will let us sort out a whole pile of tty related races. The
alternative would be to keep points and refcount the termios objects.
However
1. They are tiny anyway
2. Many devices don't use the stored copies
3. We can remove a pty special case

Alan Cox 6d31a88cb2 tty: revert incorrectly applied lock patch
I sent GregKH this after the pre-requisites. He dropped the pre-requesites
for good reason and unfortunately then applied this patch. Without this
reverted you get random kernel memory corruption which will make bisecting
anything between it and the properly applied patches a complete sod.

Alan Cox f5e3bcc504 tty: localise the lock
The termios and other changes mean the other protections needed on the driver
tty arrays should be adequate. Turn it all back on.

This contains pieces folded in from the fixes made to the original patches

Jiri Slaby 057eb856ed TTY: add tty_port_register_device helper
This will automatically assign tty_port to tty_driver's port array for
later recall in tty_init_dev. This is intended to be called instead of
tty_register_device.

Jiri Slaby 695586ca20 TTY: provide drivers with tty_port_install
This will be used in tty_ops->install to set tty->port (and to call
tty_standard_install).

Linus Torvalds f309532bf3 tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work
This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.

The main revert is d29f3ef39b ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

  fde86d3108 - tty: add lockdep annotations
  8f6576ad47 - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
  d3ca8b64b9 - pty: Fix lock inversion
  b1d679afd7 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
  abcefe5fc3 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
  fd11b42e35 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  d29f3ef39b - tty_lock: Localise the lock

The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
that got removed in the meantime.

Alan Cox d29f3ef39b tty_lock: Localise the lock
In each remaining case the tty_lock is associated with a specific tty. This
means we can now lock on a per tty basis. We do need tty_lock_pair() for
the pty case. Uglier but still a step in the right direction.

Jiri Slaby 0eee50af5b TTY: fix UV serial console regression
Commit 74c2107759 (serial: Use block_til_ready helper) and its fixup
3f582b8c11 (serial: fix termios settings in open) introduced a
regression on UV systems. The serial eventually freezes while being
used. It's completely unpredictable and sometimes needs a heap of
traffic to happen first.

To reproduce this, yast installation was used as it turned out to be
pretty reliable in reproducing. Especially during installation process
where one doesn't have an SSH daemon running. And no monitor as the HW
is completely headless. So this was fun to find. Given the machine
doesn't boot on vanilla before 2.6.36 final. (And the commits above
are older.)

Unless there is some bad race in the code, the hardware seems to be
pretty broken. Otherwise pure MSR read should not cause such a bug,
or?

So to prevent the bug, revert to the old behavior. I.e. read modem
status only if we really have to -- for non-CLOCAL set serials.
Non-CLOCAL works on this hardware OK, I tried. See? I don't.

And document that shit.

Jiri Slaby 424cc03912 TTY: use tty_wait_until_sent_from_close in tty_port_close_start
Let's use the newly added helper to avoid stalls in drivers which are
already ported to tty_port helpers.

We have to ensure here, that there is no user of tty_port_close_start
and tty_port_close which holds port->mutex (or other) lock over them.
And sure, there is none.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 96fd7ce58f TTY: create drivers/tty and move the tty core files there
The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char
driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
