| 2017-11-21 | treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup() |   Kees Cook | |
| This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes, since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following examples, in addition to some other variations. Casting from unsigned long: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr); and forced object casts: void my_callback(struct something *ptr) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr); become: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); Direct function assignments: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback; have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback; And finally, callbacks without a data assignment: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion: void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused) { ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script: spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \ -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \ -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \ -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --dir . \ --cocci-file ~/src/data/timer_setup.cocci @fix_address_of@ expression e;

| 2017-11-08 | tty: serial: Remove redundant license text |   Greg Kroah-Hartman | |
| Now that the SPDX tag is in all tty files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

| 2017-11-08 | tty: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/tty/ | Greg Kroah-Hartman | |
| It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

| 2014-07-17 | tty: kgdb_nmi: Automatically manage tty enable | Daniel Thompson | |
| At present it is not possible to boot with the ttyNMI0 console treating character input normally, instead character input triggers a prompt telling the user how to trigger the knock detector and enter the debugger. To use the console normally requires that kdb be entered and the nmi_console command be used to enable the console (or if only kgdb is present then gdb must directly manipulate the value of kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled). This patch automates the management of kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled by keeping track of the number of file handles that are open for reading and using that to determine how to tty should operate. The approach means that: 1. Behaviour before init starts is unchanged. 2. If the userspace runs a getty or some other interactive process on /dev/console (or explicitly on /dev/ttyNMI0) the tty will treat character input like any other tty. 3. If the userspace doesn't use /dev/console or if it uses /dev/console only to log messages (O_WRONLY) then the user prompt is retained.

| 2012-11-15 | TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers | Jiri Slaby | |
| After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this assumption. To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places. This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed. This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

| 2012-09-26 | tty/serial: Add kgdb_nmi driver |   Anton Vorontsov | |
| This special driver makes it possible to temporary use NMI debugger port as a normal console by issuing 'nmi_console' command (assuming that the port is attached to KGDB). Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always able to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33). This is because this console driver processes the input in NMI context, and thus is able to intercept the magic sequence. Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling communication methods, for things like PPP it is still better to fully detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and use raw console. Usually, to enter the debugger one have to type the magic sequence, so initially the kernel will print the following prompt on the NMI debugger console: Type $3#33 to enter the debugger> For convenience, there is a kgdb_fiq.knock kernel command line option, when set to 0, this turns the special command to just a return key press, so the kernel will be printing this: Hit <return> to enter the debugger> This is more convenient for long debugging sessions, although it makes nmi_console feature somewhat useless. And for the cases when NMI connected to a dedicated button, the knocking can be disabled altogether by setting kgdb_fiq.knock to -1.
