characters, was early termination from unix commands like tr and cat when

To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.
But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:
- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:
where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.
USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
TODO:
- Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not
redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount.
Changelog[v6]:
- [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface
- [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options
- [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1.
- [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now
get_init_pts_sb())
- devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries
Changelog[v5]:
- Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch
- Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch)
- Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000
(defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
- Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount
(defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
- Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was
specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but
/proc/mounts would imply that the option was set)
Changelog[v4]:
- Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments
- Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token,
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE.
- Move usage-details from patch description to
Documentation/fs/devpts.txt
Changelog[v3]:
- Rename new mount option to 'newinstance'
- Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts
- Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to
parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during
do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().
(restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this)
Changelog[v2]:
- Support both single-mount and multiple-mount semantics and
provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.
/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx,
allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the
devpts fs as /dev/pts/n.
Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx
we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being
accessed.
So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx'
node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch
adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device
when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and
may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new
node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by
remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option.
Changelog[v5]:
- [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to
ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So,
hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also.
- [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating
ptmx node
- [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx()
wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To
simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this.
Changelog[v4]:
- Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000.
- Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.
Changelog[v3]:
- Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance')
Changelog[v2]:
- [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the
ptmx node internally.
Changelog[v1]:
- Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as
well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not
really necessary.
With support for multiple mounts of devpts, the 'config' structure really
represents per-mount options rather than config parameters. Rename 'config'
structure to 'pts_mount_opts' and store it in the super-block.
To enable multiple mounts of devpts, 'allocated_ptys' must be a per-mount
variable rather than a global variable. Move 'allocated_ptys' into the
super_block's s_fs_info.
Changelog[v2]:
Define and use DEVPTS_SB() wrapper.
Remove the 'devpts_root' global variable and find the root dentry using
the super_block. The super-block can be found from the device inode, using
the new wrapper, pts_sb_from_inode().
Changelog: This patch is based on an earlier patchset from Serge Hallyn
and Matt Helsley.

n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty
Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when
the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens
frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C)
and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline.
Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all
ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the
loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between
tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately
written to the tty driver.
The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need
to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column
position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output,
since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written.
Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code
to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the
Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks.
Highlights are:
* Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full
- continuous program output can block echo
* Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S)
- (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output)
* Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not
split up by interleaved program output
* Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to
the tty driver
* Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline

Blackfin Serial Driver: fix bug - SIR driver stop receiving randomly
Bug description:
The IRDA receiver may can't receiving any more after processed some signals.
To duplicate this issue is put three IRDA devices together, one blackfin,
two none blackfin, they will detect each other. Let one none blackfin devices
irdaping the blackfin devices, when it stopped print out ping information,
it is the time that blackfin stoped receiving, the time is random.
The related register bit is OK, the other devices is sending data continuously.
But no interrupt come.
Fixing:
I tried Michael's suggestion that request the UARTx error interrupt, and reset
the IRDA when found FE error. This method helps much, but it can't completely
avoid stop.
Reset the IRDA before every time sending the data is more safe.

Disallow gcc versions 4.1.{0,1}
These compiler versions are known to miscompile __weak functions and
thus generate kernels that don't necessarily work correctly. If a weak
function is int he same compilation unit as a caller, gcc may end up
inlining it, and thus binding the weak function too early.

Sanitize gcc version header includes
- include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc
header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the
non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions)
- don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets
released). That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the
gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!)
- generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than
having a mess of #if conditionals.
