The tty buffers (and any line discipline buffers) must be flushed after
the UART hardware has shutdown; otherwise, a racing open on the same
tty may receive data from the previous session, which is a security
hazard. However, holding the port mutex while flushing the line
discipline buffers creates a lock inversion if the set_termios()
handler takes the port mutex (as it does in the followup patch,
'serial: Fix locking for uart driver set_termios method'.
Flush the ldisc buffers after dropping the port mutex; the tty lock
is still held which prevents a concurrent open() from advancing while
flushing. Since no new rx data is possible after uart_shutdown() until
a new open reinitializes the port, the later flush has no impact on
what data is being discarded.

In the context of the final tty & port close, flushing the tx
ring buffer after the hardware has already been shutdown and
the ring buffer freed is neither required nor desirable.
uart_flush_buffer() performs 3 operations:
1. Resets tx ring buffer indices, but the tx ring buffer has
already been freed and the indices are reset if the port is
re-opened.
2. Calls uart driver's flush_buffer() method
5 in-tree uart drivers define flush_buffer() methods:
amba-pl011, atmel-serial, imx, serial-tegra, timbuart
These have been refactored into the shutdown() method, if
required.
3. Kicks the ldisc for more writing, but this is undesirable.
The file handle is being released; any waiting writer will
will be kicked out by tty_release() with a warning. Further,
the N_TTY ldisc may generate SIGIO for a file handle which
is no longer valid.

tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer,
then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing
data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input
buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared.
Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow
tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear.
NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in
tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing
line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on
ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line
disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods,
so a ->flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.

Opening /dev/tty (ie., the controlling tty for the current task)
is always a re-open of the underlying tty. Because holding the
tty_lock is sufficient for safely re-opening a tty, and because
having a tty kref is sufficient for safely acquiring the tty_lock [1],
tty_open_current_tty() does not require holding tty_mutex.
Repurpose tty_open_current_tty() to perform the re-open itself and
refactor tty_open().
[1] Analysis of safely re-opening the current tty w/o tty_mutex
get_current_tty() gets a tty kref from the already kref'ed tty value of
current->signal->tty while holding the sighand lock for the current
task. This guarantees that the tty pointer returned from
get_current_tty() points to a tty which remains referenceable
while holding the kref.
Although release_tty() may run concurrently, and thus the driver
reference may be removed, release_one_tty() cannot have run, and
won't while holding the tty kref.
This, in turn, guarantees the tty_lock() can safely be acquired
(since tty->magic and tty->legacy_mutex are still a valid dereferences).
The tty_lock() also gets a tty kref to prevent the tty_unlock() from
dereferencing a released tty. Thus, the kref returned from
get_current_tty() can be released.
Lastly, the first operation of tty_reopen() is to check the tty count.
If non-zero, this ensures release_tty() is not running concurrently,
and the driver references have not been removed.

cause a parallel master BSD pty open to fail because the pty pair
destruction may already been taking place in tty_release().
Failing at driver->install() if the slave pty is opened first ensures

Re-opening master ptys is not allowed. Once opened and for the remaining
lifetime of the master pty, its tty count is 1. If its tty count has
dropped to 0, then the master pty was closed and TTY_CLOSING was set,
and destruction may begin imminently.
Besides the normal case of a legacy BSD pty master being re-opened
(which always returns -EIO), this code is only reachable in 2 degenerate
cases:
1. The pty master is the controlling terminal (this is possible through
the TIOCSCTTY ioctl). pty masters are not designed to be controlling
terminals and it's an oversight that tiocsctty() ever let that happen.
The attempted open of /dev/tty will always fail. No known program does
this.
2. The legacy BSD pty slave was opened first. The slave open will fail
in pty_open() and tty_release() will commence. But before tty_release()
claims the tty_mutex, there is a very small window where a parallel
master open might succeed. In a test of racing legacy BSD slave and
master parallel opens, where:
slave open attempts: 10000 success:4527 failure:5473
master open attempts: 11728 success:5789 failure:5939
only 8 master open attempts would have succeeded reaching this code and
successfully opened the master pty. This case is not possible with
SysV ptys.
Always return -EIO if a master pty is re-opened or the slave is opened
first and the master opened in parallel (for legacy BSD ptys).
Furthermore, now that changing the slave's count is not required,
the tty_lock is sufficient for preventing concurrent changes to the
tty being re-opened (or failing re-opening).

Setting the controlling terminal for a session occurs with either

Since only the session leader can set the controlling terminal for
a session (and the session leader cannot change), it is not
necessary to prevent a process from attempting to set different
ttys as the controlling terminal concurrently.
So it's only necessary to prevent the same tty from becoming the
controlling terminal for different session leaders. The tty_lock()
is sufficient to prevent concurrent proc_set_tty() for the same
tty.
Remove the tty_mutex lock region; add tty_lock() to tiocsctty().
While this may appear to allow a race condition between opening
the controlling tty via tty_open_current_tty() and stealing the
controlling tty via ioctl(TIOCSCTTY, 1), that race condition already
existed. Even if the tty_mutex prevented stealing the controlling tty
while tty_open_current_tty() returned the original controlling tty,
it cannot prevent stealing the controlling tty before tty_open() returns.
Thus, tty_open() could already return a no-longer-controlling tty when
