Document the compatible string for Exynos7870's UART driver. The
devicetree property samsung,uart-fifosize must be mandatory, as the
driver enquires about the FIFO sizes. This feature makes it compatible
with Exynos8895's UART.

8250 DesignWare driver uses a few custom implementations of the serial_out().
These implementations are carefully made to avoid infinite loops. But this is
not obvious from looking at the code. Comment the possible corner cases in
the respective functions.

The value returned from srmcons_init() was -ENODEV for over 2 decades.
But it does not matter, given device_initcall() ignores retvals.
But to be honest, return 0 in case the tty driver was registered
properly.
To do that, the condition is inverted and a short path taken in case of
error.
err_free_drv is introduced as it will be used from more places later.

These ioctls are undocumented and not exposed -- they are defined

value using the standard "Returns:", and use the new enum tty_driver_flag

times in the docs. Copy the docs from the above (except the @owner

n_tty_read() contains "we need more data" handling deep in that
function. And there is also a label (more_to_be_read) as we handle this
situation from two places.
It makes more sense to have all "return"s accumulated at the end of
functions. And "goto" from multiple places there. Therefore, do this
with the "more_to_be_read" label in n_tty_read().
After this and the previous changes, n_tty_read() is now much more
easier to follow.

- the function can return directly when "space == 0".
- "i" can now be "unsigned" as it is no longer abused to hold a retval

"unsigned".

tty_write_room() returns an "unsigned int". So in case some insane
driver (like my tty test driver) returns (legitimate) UINT_MAX from its
tty_operations::write_room(), n_tty is confused on several places.
For example, in process_output_block(), the result of tty_write_room()
is stored into (signed) "int". So this UINT_MAX suddenly becomes -1. And
that is extended to ssize_t and returned from process_output_block().
This causes a write() to such a node to receive -EPERM (which is -1).
Fix that by using proper "unsigned int" and proper "== 0" test. And
return 0 constant directly in that "if", so that it is immediately clear
what is returned ("space" equals to 0 at that point).
Similarly for process_output() and __process_echoes().
Note this does not fix any in-tree driver as of now.
If you want "Fixes: something", it would be commit 03b3b1a2405c ("tty:
make tty_operations::write_room return uint"). I intentionally do not
mark this patch by a real tag below.

"N_TTY_BUF_SIZE" is private to n_tty and shall not be exposed to the
world. Definitely not in tty.h somewhere in the middle of "struct
tty_struct".
This is a remnant of moving "read_flags" to "struct n_tty_data" in
commit 3fe780b379fa ("TTY: move ldisc data from tty_struct: bitmaps").
But some cleanup was needed first (in previous patches).

N_TTY_BUF_SIZE -- as the name suggests -- is the N_TTY's buffer size.
There is no reason to couple that to caif's tty->receive_room. Use 4096
directly -- even though, it should be some sort of "SKB_MAX_ALLOC" or
alike. But definitely not N_TTY_BUF_SIZE.
N_TTY_BUF_SIZE is private and will be moved to n_tty.c later.

Note that these are bit positions. So they are used such as

Commit 779dbc2e78d7 ("printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing to ringbuffer")
aimed to isolate panic-related messages. However, when panic() itself
malfunctions, messages from non-panic CPUs become crucial for debugging.
While commit bcc954c6caba ("printk/panic: Allow cpu backtraces to
be written into ringbuffer during panic") enables non-panic CPU
backtraces, it may not provide sufficient diagnostic information.
Introduce the "debug_non_panic_cpus" command-line option, enabling
non-panic CPU messages to be stored in the ring buffer during a panic.
This also prevents discarding non-finalized messages from non-panic CPUs
during console flushing, providing a more comprehensive view of system
state during critical failures.

thread-group leader exit"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
This is another attempt at trying to make pidfd polling for
multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent.
A quick recap of these two cases:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group
leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the
thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the
thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called
exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group
have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD.
Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group
leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor
depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the
exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated
for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec
of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the
old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior would be to simply not generate an exit
notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct
pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
This tiny series tries to address this problem. If that works correctly
then no exit notifications are generated for a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a
thread-group leader until all subthreads have been reaped. If a
subthread should exec before no exit notification will be generated
until that task exits or it creates subthreads and repeates the cycle.

polling
This is another attempt trying to make pidfd polling for multi-threaded
exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent.
A quick recap of these two cases:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group
leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the
thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the
thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called

But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
prematurely as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
So far there was no way to distinguish between (1) and (2) internally.
This tiny series tries to address this problem by discarding
PIDFD_THREAD notification on premature thread-group leader exit.
If that works correctly then no exit notifications are generated for a
PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads have
been reaped. If a subthread should exec aftewards no exit notification
will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and
repeates the cycle.

Previous commit 8b5c171bb3dc ("neigh: new unresolved queue limits")
introduces new netlink attribute NDTPA_QUEUE_LENBYTES to represent
approximative value for deprecated QUEUE_LEN. However, it forgot to add
the associated nla_policy in nl_ntbl_parm_policy array. Fix it with one
simple NLA_U32 type policy.

fd_install() has a questionable comment above it.
While it correctly points out a possible race against dup2(), it states:
> We need to detect this and fput() the struct file we are about to
> overwrite in this case.
>
> It should never happen - if we allow dup2() do it, _really_ bad things
> will follow.
I have difficulty parsing the above. The first sentence would suggest
fd_install() tries to detect and recover from the race (it does not),
the next one claims the race needs to be dealt with (it is, by dup2()).
Given that fd_install() does not suffer the burden, this patch removes
the above and instead expands on the race in dup2() commentary.
While here tidy up the docs around fd_install().
