commit 903f9db10f18f735e62ba447147b6c434b6af003 upstream.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

commit 28b0f8a6962a24ed21737578f3b1b07424635c9e upstream.

A tty is hung up by __tty_hangup() setting file-&gt;f_op to
hung_up_tty_fops, which is skipped on ttys whose write operation isn't
tty_write().  This means that, for example, /dev/console whose write
op is redirected_tty_write() is never actually marked hung up.

Because n_tty_read() uses the hung up status to decide whether to
abort the waiting readers, the lack of hung-up marking can lead to the
following scenario.

 1. A session contains two processes.  The leader and its child.  The
    child ignores SIGHUP.

 2. The leader exits and starts disassociating from the controlling
    terminal (/dev/console).

 3. __tty_hangup() skips setting f_op to hung_up_tty_fops.

 4. SIGHUP is delivered and ignored.

 5. tty_ldisc_hangup() is invoked.  It wakes up the waits which should
    clear the read lockers of tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 6. The reader wakes up but because tty_hung_up_p() is false, it
    doesn't abort and goes back to sleep while read-holding
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 7. The leader progresses to tty_ldisc_lock() in tty_ldisc_hangup()
    and is now stuck in D sleep indefinitely waiting for
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

The following is Alan's explanation on why some ttys aren't hung up.

 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171101170908.6ad08580@alans-desktop

 1. It broke the serial consoles because they would hang up and close
    down the hardware. With tty_port that *should* be fixable properly
    for any cases remaining.

 2. The console layer was (and still is) completely broken and doens't
    refcount properly. So if you turn on console hangups it breaks (as
    indeed does freeing consoles and half a dozen other things).

As neither can be fixed quickly, this patch works around the problem
by introducing a new flag, TTY_HUPPING, which is used solely to tell
n_tty_read() that hang-up is in progress for the console and the
readers should be aborted regardless of the hung-up status of the
device.

The following is a sample hung task warning caused by this issue.

commit b027e2298bd588d6fa36ed2eda97447fb3eac078 upstream.

There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before
tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty-&gt;disc_data
may be NULL.

CPU0					CPU1
----					----
 000|n_tty_receive_buf_common()   	n_tty_open()

-002|tty_ldisc_receive_buf(inline)	tty_ldisc_setup()

Using ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev till disc_data
initializes completely.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>tty: resolve tty contention between kernel and user space</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a09ac3974d0c0b25dfa70f8076546bc4876dd7a8</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit 12e84c71b7d4 ("tty: export tty_open_by_driver") exports
tty_open_by_device to allow tty to be opened from inside kernel which
works fine except that it doesn't handle contention with user space or
another kernel-space open of the same tty. For example, opening a tty
from user space while it is kernel opened results in failure and a
kernel log message about mismatch between tty-&gt;count and tty's file
open count.

This patch makes kernel access to tty exclusive, so that if a user
process or kernel opens a kernel opened tty, it gets -EBUSY. It does
this by adding TTY_KOPENED flag to tty-&gt;flags. When this flag is set,
tty_open_by_driver returns -EBUSY. Instead of overloading
tty_open_by_driver for both kernel and user space, this
patch creates a separate function tty_kopen which closely follows
tty_open_by_driver. tty_kclose closes the tty opened by tty_kopen.

To address the mismatch between tty-&gt;count and #fd's, this patch adds
#kopen's to the count before comparing it with tty-&gt;count. That way
check_tty_count reflects correct usage count.

Returning -EBUSY on tty open is a change in the interface. I have
tested this with minicom, picocom and commands like "echo foo &gt;
/dev/ttyS0". They all correctly report "Device or resource busy" when
the tty is already kernel opened.

  This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large tty/serial patchset for 4.13-rc1.

  A lot of tty and serial driver updates are in here, along with some
  fixups for some __get/put_user usages that were reported. Nothing
  huge, just lots of development by a number of different developers,
  full details in the shortlog.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

<id>urn:sha1:3859a271a003aba01e45b85c9d8b355eb7bf25f9</id>
<content type='text'>
This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

<title>tty: add function to convert device name to number</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fc61ed51270e86440cf7cf84cbe1d86753592932</id>

The function converts strings like ttyS0 and ttyUSB0 to dev_t like
(4, 64) and (188, 0). It does this by scanning tty_drivers list for
corresponding device name and index. If the driver is not registered,
this function returns -ENODEV. It also acquires tty_mutex.
