Add a back-off mechanism to hvc_console's polling logic. This change
drops the timers/second ratio from ~90 to ~1/2 while the console is
idle.
This change is most noticeable when watching /proc/timer_stats output.
This only affects when the hvc_console is running in poll mode, i.e.
power4 and cell systems.
I've tested on Power4, Michael Ellerman has both contributed to the
patch and tested on cell.

Commit d720bc4b8fc5d6d179ef094908d4fbb5e436ffad partially removed a
private implementation of baud speed decoding. However it doesn't seem
to be complete: after the speed is decoded, it is still being used as an
index to a local speed table (array overrun, no doubt).

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.

Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com>
When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the
driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and
execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device.
A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow
of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

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.
