38db89799b tty: throttling race fix
The tty throttling code can race due to the lock drops. It takes very high
loads but this has been observed and verified by Rob Duncan.

The basic problem is that on an SMP box we can go

	CPU #1				CPU #2
	need to throttle ?
	suppose we should		buffer space cleared
					are we throttled
					yes ? - unthrottle
	call throttle method

This changeet take the termios lock to protect against this. The termios
lock isn't the initial obvious candidate but many implementations of throttle
methods already need to poke around their own termios structures (and nobody
really locks them against a racing change of flow control).

This does mean that anyone who is setting tty->low_latency = 1 and then
calling tty_flip_buffer_push from their unthrottle method is going to end up
collapsing in a pile of locks. However we've removed all the known bogus
users of low_latency = 1 and such use isn't safe anyway for other reasons so
catching it would be an improvement.

ae149b6bec proc tty: add struct tty_operations::proc_fops
Used for gradual switch of TTY drivers from using ->read_proc which helps
with gradual switch from ->read_proc for the whole tree.

As side effect, fix possible race condition when ->data initialized after
PDE is hooked into proc tree.

->proc_fops takes precedence over ->read_proc.

fc6f623822 pty: simplify resize

15f1a6338d Add an instance parameter devpts interfaces
Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces.  With multiple
devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches
to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help
simplify devpts implementation.

Changelog[v3]:
	- minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates
	- rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes
	- pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help
	  cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch)

8b0a88d591 tty: More driver operations
We have the lookup operation abstracted which is nice for pty cleanup but
we really want to abstract the add/remove entries as well so that we can
pull the pty code out of the tty core and create a clear defined interface
for the tty driver table.

feebed6515 tty: shutdown method
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when
they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt
sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe.

Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which
is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown
method is tied into the refcounting.

Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic.

Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now
have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree
free up paths.

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.

f34d7a5b70 tty: The big operations rework
- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

edc6afc549 [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios and new framework
This is the core of the switch to the new framework.  I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.

The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support.  The
code patches here ensure that providing

1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)

the existing behaviour is retained.  This is true for the patches at this
point in time.

Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.

53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
