2025-01-07pps: Fix a use-after-freeCalvin Owens

Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time I reboot this particular board. In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've implemented his suggestion, using __register_chrdev() with pps_idr becoming the source of truth for which minor corresponds to which device. But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(), we need to be sure the pps->dev refcount can't reach zero while userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to pps->dev. pps_core: source serial1 got cdev (251:1) <...> pps pps1: removed pps_core: unregistering pps1 pps_core: deallocating pps1 Fixes: d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.")

2021-05-13tty: set tty_ldisc_ops::num staticallyJiri Slaby
There is no reason to pass the ldisc number to tty_register_ldisc separately. Just set it in the already defined tty_ldisc_ops in all the ldiscs. This simplifies tty_register_ldisc a bit too (no need to set the num member there).

2021-03-10tty: remove TTY_LDISC_MAGICJiri Slaby
First, it is never checked. Second, use of it as a debugging aid is at least questionable. With the current tools, I don't think anyone used this kind of thing for debugging purposes for years. On the top of that, e.g. serdev does not set this field of tty_ldisc_ops at all. So get rid of this legacy.

2013-02-13pps: Move timestamp read into PPS code properGeorge Spelvin
The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading to its breakage. The previous patches fixed the crashing. This one reduces coupling further by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method. This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic, and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

2013-02-13pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc couplingGeorge Spelvin
Now that N_TTY uses tty->disc_data for its private data, 'subclass' ldiscs cannot use ->disc_data for their own private data. (This is a regression is v3.8-rc1) Use pps_lookup_dev to associate the tty with the pps source instead. This fixes a crashing regression in 3.8-rc1.
