syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544bebe85071 ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9b7d600
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.

tty: Avoid possible error pointer dereference at tty_ldisc_restore().

syzbot is reporting crashes [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at
tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_restore(). While syzbot stops at WARN_ON()
due to panic_on_warn == true, panic_on_warn == false will after all trigger
an OOPS by dereferencing old->ops->num if IS_ERR(old) == true.

We can simplify tty_ldisc_restore() as three calls (old->ops->num, N_TTY,
N_NULL) to tty_ldisc_failto() in addition to avoiding possible error
pointer dereference.

If someone reports kernel panic triggered by forcing all memory allocations
for tty_ldisc_restore() to fail, we can consider adding __GFP_NOFAIL for
tty_ldisc_restore() case.

tty: fall back to N_NULL if switching to N_TTY fails during hangup

We have seen NULL-pointer dereference crashes in tty->disc_data when the
N_TTY fallback driver failed to open during hangup. The immediate cause
of this open to fail has been addressed in the preceding patch to
vmalloc(), but this code could be more robust.

As Alan pointed out in commit 8a8dabf2dd68 ("tty: handle the case where
we cannot restore a line discipline"), the N_TTY driver, historically
the safe fallback that could never fail, can indeed fail, but the
surrounding code is not prepared to handle this. To avoid crashes he
added a new N_NULL driver to take N_TTY's place as the last resort.

Hook that fallback up to the hangup path. Update tty_ldisc_reinit() to
reflect the reality that n_tty_open can indeed fail.

tty: handle the case where we cannot restore a line discipline

Historically the N_TTY driver could never fail but this has become broken over
time. Rather than trying to rewrite half the ldisc layer to fix the breakage
introduce a second level of fallback with an N_NULL ldisc which cannot fail,
and thus restore the guarantees required by the ldisc layer.

We still try and fail to N_TTY first. It's much more useful to find yourself
back in your old ldisc (first attempt) or in N_TTY (second attempt), and while
I'm not aware of any code out there that makes those assumptions it's good to
drive(r) defensively.

staging: speakup: add tty-based comms functions

This adds spk_ttyio.c file. It contains a set of functions which implement
those methods in spk_synth struct which relate to sending bytes out using
serial comms. Implementations in this file perform the same function but
using TTY subsystem instead. Currently synths access serial ports, directly
poking standard ISA ports by trying to steal them from serial driver. Some ISA
cards actually need this way of doing it, but most other synthesizers don't,
and can actually work by using the proper TTY subsystem through a new N_SPEAKUP
line discipline. So this adds the methods for drivers to switch to accessing
serial ports through the TTY subsystem, whenever appropriate.

tty: Destroy ldisc instance on hangup

Currently, when the tty is hungup, the ldisc is re-instanced; ie., the
current instance is destroyed and a new instance is created. The purpose
of this design was to guarantee a valid, open ldisc for the lifetime of
the tty.

However, now that tty buffers are owned by and have lifetime equivalent
to the tty_port (since v3.10), any data received immediately after the
ldisc is re-instanced may cause continued driver i/o operations
concurrently with the driver's hangup() operation. For drivers that
shutdown h/w on hangup, this is unexpected and usually bad. For example,
the serial core may free the xmit buffer page concurrently with an
in-progress write() operation (triggered by echo).

With the existing stable and robust ldisc reference handling, the
cleaned-up tty_reopen(), the straggling unsafe ldisc use cleaned up, and
the preparation to properly handle a NULL tty->ldisc, the ldisc instance
can be destroyed and only re-instanced when the tty is re-opened.

If the tty was opened as /dev/console or /dev/tty0, the original behavior
of re-instancing the ldisc is retained (the 'reinit' parameter to
tty_ldisc_hangup() is true). This is required since those file descriptors
are never hungup.

This patch has neglible impact on userspace; the tty file_operations ptr
is changed to point to the hungup file operations _before_ the ldisc
instance is destroyed, so only racing file operations might now retrieve
a NULL ldisc reference (which is simply handled as if the hungup file
operation had been called instead -- see "tty: Prepare for destroying
line discipline on hangup").

This resolves a long-standing FIXME and several crash reports.

tty file_operations (read/write/ioctl) wait for the ldisc reference

another copy, file_operations must now be prepared to receive a NULL
