First cut at moving the soft carrier handling knowledge entirely into the core
code. One or two drivers still needed to snoop these functions to track
CLOCAL internally. Instead make TIOCSSOFTCAR generate the same driver calls
as other termios ioctls changing the clocal flag. This allows us to remove
any driver knowledge and special casing. Also while we are at it we can fix
the error handling.

Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios
settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to
lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with
a real world application.
To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored
but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't
get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

Commit 5a52bd4a2d introduced a subtle logic
change in tty_wait_until_sent(). The original version would only error out
of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated to
true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the loop
and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling. The current
implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty
buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling only
on a timeout.
The ->wait_until_sent() will not be reached if the buffer empties before
timeout jiffies have elapsed. This behavior differs from that prior to commit
5a52bd4a2d.
I turned this up while using a little serial download utility to bootstrap an
ARM-based eval board. The util worked fine on 2.6.22.x, but consistently
failed on 2.6.23.x. Once I'd determined that, I narrowed things down with git
bisect, and found the above difference in logic in tty_wait_until_sent() by
inspection.
This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that
prior to the aforementioned commit.

Dave Miller noted various cases where line disciplines for things like
ppp go poking around in termios themselves in ways that broke with the
new termios code. Rather than have them all learning about termios
internals provide proper methods for this
- tty_mode_ioctl()
This handles all the terminal mode handling for speed/carrier
etc and none of the methods are ldisc dependant so they can be called
by any user
- tty_perform_flush()
This extracts the flush functionality and enables pppd the ppp
layer to share it cleanly.
The existing n_tty_ioctl code is refactored in this patch to provide
the new functions and to call them itself appropriately. This patch
has no (intended) behaviour changes and simply prepares for the other
fixes.

This adds three new functions (or in one case to be more exact makes it
always available)
tty_termios_copy_hw
Copies all the hardware settings from one termios structure to the other.
This is intended for drivers that support little or no hardware setting
tty_termios_encode_baud_rate
Allows you to set the input and output baud rate in a termios structure. A
driver is supposed to set the resulting baud rate from a request so most
will want to use this function to set the resulting input and output rates
to match the hardware values. Internally it knows about keeping Bxxx
encoding when possible to maximise compatibility.
tty_encode_baud_rate
As above but for the tty's own current termios structure
I suspect this will initially need some tweaking as it gets enabled by
driver patches over the next few mm cycles so consider this lot -mm only
for the moment so it can stabilize and end up neat before it goes to base.
I've tried not to break any obscure architectures - if you get a speed you
can't represent the code will print warnings on non updated termios systems
but not break.
Once this is merged and seems sane I've got a growing pile of driver
updates to use it - notably for USB serial drivers.

I ran into a few problems.
n_tty_ioctl() for instance:
drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c:799: error: $,1rxstruct termios$,1ry has no
member named $,1rxc_ispeed$,1ry
This is calling the copy interface that is supposed to be using
a termios2 when the new interfaces are defined, however:
case TIOCGLCKTRMIOS:
if (kernel_termios_to_user_termios((struct termios __user *)arg, real_tty->termios_locked))
return -EFAULT;
return 0;
This is going to write over the end of the userspace
structure by a few bytes, and wasn't caught by you yet
because the i386 implementation is simply copy_to_user()
which does zero type checking.

Mostly so people can see the work in progress. This enhances the encode
function which isn't currently used in the base tree but is when using some of
the testing tty patches.
This resolves a problem with some hardware where applications got confusing
information from the tty ioctls. Correct but confusing.
In some situations asking for, say, 9600 baud actually gets you 9595 baud or
similar near-miss values. With the old code this meant that a request for
B9600 got a return of BOTHER, 9595 which programs interpreted as a failure.
The new code now works on the following basis
- If you ask for specific rate via BOTHER, you get a precise return
- If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and the result is close you get a Bfoo
return
- If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and get something way off you get a
BOTHER/rate return
This seems to fix up the cases I've found where this broke compatibility.

Having split out the user and kernel structures it turns out that some non
glibc C libraries pull their termios struct from the kernel headers
directly or indirectly. This means we must keep "struct termios" as the
library sees it correct for the old ioctls. Not a big problem just shuffle
the names and ifdef around a bit

This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates. At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs
If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.
If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)
Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra

This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.
The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The
code patches here ensure that providing
1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)
the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this
point in time.
Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

If you send a priority character (as is done for flow control) then the tty
driver can either have its own method for "jumping the queue" or the characrer
can be queued normally. In the latter case we call the write method but
without the atomic_write_lock taken elsewhere.
Make this consistent. Note that the send_xchar method if implemented remains
outside of the lock as it can jump ahead of a current write so must not be
locked out by it.
