The locking logic in this function is extremely subtle, and it broke
when we started doing potentially concurrent 'flush_to_ldisc()' calls in
commit e043e42bdb ("pty: avoid forcing
'low_latency' tty flag").
The code in flush_to_ldisc() used to set 'tty->buf.head' to NULL, with
the intention that this would then cause any other concurrent calls to
not do anything (locking note: we have to drop the buf.lock over the
call to ->receive_buf that can block, which is why we can have
concurrency here at all in the first place).
It also used to set the TTY_FLUSHING bit, which would then cause any
concurrent 'tty_buffer_flush()' to not free all the tty buffers and
clear 'tty->buf.tail'. And with 'buf.head' being NULL, and 'buf.tail'
being non-NULL, new data would never touch 'buf.head'.
Does that sound a bit too subtle? It was. If another concurrent call to
'flush_to_ldisc()' were to come in, the NULL buf.head would indeed cause
it to not process the buffer list, but it would still clear TTY_FLUSHING
afterwards, making the buffer protection against 'tty_buffer_flush()' no
longer work.
So this clears it all up. We depend purely on TTY_FLUSHING for handling
re-entrancy, and stop playing games with the buffer list entirely. In
fact, the buffer list handling is now robust enough that we could
probably stop doing the whole "protect against 'tty_buffer_flush()'"
thing entirely.
However, Alan also points out that we would probably be better off
simplifying the locking even further, and just take the tty ldisc_mutex
around all the buffer flushing calls. That seems like a good idea, but
in the meantime this is a conceptually minimal fix (with the patch
itself being bigger than required just to clean the code up and make it
readable).

On ARM, update_mmu_cache() does dcache flush for a page only if
it has a kernel mapping (page_mapping(page) != NULL). The correct
behavior would be to force the flush based on dcache_dirty bit only.
One of the cases where present logic would be a problem is when
a RAM based block device[1] is used as a swap disk. In this case,
we would have in-memory data corruption as shown in steps below:
do_swap_page()
{
- Allocate a new page (if not already in swap cache)
- Issue read from swap disk
- Block driver issues flush_dcache_page()
- flush_dcache_page() simply sets PG_dcache_dirty bit and does not
actually issue a flush since this page has no user space mapping yet.
- Now, if swap disk is almost full, this newly read page is removed
from swap cache and corrsponding swap slot is freed.
- Map this page anonymously in user space.
- update_mmu_cache()
- Since this page does not have kernel mapping (its not in page/swap
cache and is mapped anonymously), it does not issue dcache flush
even if dcache_dirty bit is set by flush_dcache_page() above.
<user now gets stale data since dcache was never flushed>
}
Same problem exists on mips too.

- brd (RAM based block device)
- ramzswap (RAM based compressed swap device)

Having this as a device_initcall() means that some real device drivers
can actually initialise _before_ the quirks are run, which is wrong.
We want it to run _before_ device_initcall(), but _after_ fs_initcall(),
since some arch-specific PCI initialisation like pcibios_assign_resources()
is done at fs_initcall().
We could use rootfs_initcall() but I actually want to use that for the
IOMMU initialisation, which has to come after the quirks, but still
before the real devices. So use fs_initcall_sync() instead -- since this
is entirely synchronous, it doesn't hurt that it'll escape the
synchronisation.

We simply can't do the USB handoff at FIXUP_HEADER time, since it will
often require us to have valid IO mappings etc. But that in turn
requires a whole different approach, not this trivial one-liner.
Maybe we could teach all the USB quirk handoff handlers to only do the
quirk if the device has all its registers set up (since if it isn't
initialized, it's unlikely to be active), but regardless that will need
a whole lot more code than just saying "let's do it really early".
The proper fix is almost certainly to just leave the legacy IOMMU
mappings active until after all devices have been initialized.

Revert commit 575543347b
It caused following issues:
- On architectures where ARCH= setting is used to select between
32 and 64 bit this was no longer possible without "make mrproper"
- If ARCH was changed then kbuild refused to run "make mrproper"
because ARCH had changed
- When CROSS_COMPILE was changed people were asked to run "make mrproper"
but kbuild refused to run "make mrproper" because CROSS_COMPILE changed.
- Spaces in CROSS_COMPILE was not 'supported'
- If an non-existing ARCH= was used kbuild could get stuck
Lessons learned:
. Despite being simple and straghtforward people uses very different
approaches when building the kernel.
. CROSS_COMPILE is sometimes used for ccache despite cache being
only a CC frontend so one would have expected CC to be
used for this purpose.
. And obviously this was not tested widely enough.
