Implement the dtr_rts() hvc console callback to improve control when to disconnect the IUCV connection. Previously, the IUCV connection was disconnected during the notifier_del() callback, i.e., when the last file descriptor to the hvc terminal device was closed. Recent changes in login programs caused undesired disconnects during the login phase. To prevent these kind of disconnects, implement the dtr_rts callback to implicitly handle the HUPCL termios control via the hvc_console driver.

Introduce a new callback to explicitly handle the HUPCL termios control flag. This prepares for a follow-up commit for the hvc_iucv device driver to improve handling when to drop an established network connection. The callback naming is based on the recently added tty_port interface to facilitate a potential refactoring of the hvc_console to use tty_port functions.

Commits 6a1c0680 and 9356b535, respectively 'tty: Convert termios_mutex to termios_rwsem' and 'n_tty: Access termios values safely' introduced a circular lock dependency with console_lock and termios_rwsem. The lockdep report [1] shows that n_tty_write() will attempt to claim console_lock while holding the termios_rwsem, whereas tty_do_resize() may already hold the console_lock while claiming the termios_rwsem. Since n_tty_write() and tty_do_resize() do not contend over the same data -- the tty->winsize structure -- correct the lock dependency by introducing a new lock which specifically serializes access to tty->winsize only.

Acquiring the write_wait queue spin lock now accounts for the largest slice of cpu time on the tty write path. Two factors contribute to this situation; a overly-pessimistic line discipline write loop which _always_ sets up a wait loop even if i/o will immediately succeed, and on ptys, a wakeup storm from reads and writes. Writer wakeup does not need to be performed by the pty driver. Firstly, since the actual i/o is performed within the write, the line discipline write loop will continue while space remains in the flip buffers. Secondly, when space becomes avail in the line discipline receive buffer (and thus also in the flip buffers), the pty unthrottle re-wakes the writer (non-flow-controlled line disciplines unconditionally unthrottle the driver when data is received). Thus, existing in-kernel i/o is guaranteed to advance. Finally, writer wakeup occurs at the conclusion of the line discipline write (in tty_write_unlock()). This guarantees that any user-space write waiters are woken to continue additional i/o.

LNEXT processing accounts for ~15% of total cpu time in end-to-end tty i/o; factor the lnext test/clear from the per-char i/o path. Instead, attempt to immediately handle the literal next char if not at the end of this received buffer; otherwise, handle the first char of the next received buffer as the literal next char, then continue with normal i/o.

Always pre-figure the space available in the read_buf and limit the inbound receive request to that amount.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read() returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0, thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition. The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated. Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

Byte-by-byte echo output is painfully slow, requiring a lock/unlock cycle for every input byte. Instead, perform the echo output in blocks of 256 characters, and at least once per flip buffer receive. Enough space is reserved in the echo buffer to guarantee a full block can be saved without overrunning the echo output. Overrun is prevented by discarding the oldest echoes until enough space exists in the echo buffer to receive at least a full block of new echoes.

Adding data to echo_buf (via add_echo_byte()) is guaranteed to be single-threaded, since all callers are from the n_tty_receive_buf() path. Processing the echo_buf can be called from either the n_tty_receive_buf() path or the n_tty_write() path; however, these callers are already serialized by output_lock. Publish cumulative echo_head changes to echo_commit; process echo_buf from echo_tail to echo_commit; remove echo_lock. On echo_buf overrun, claim output_lock to serialize changes to echo_tail.

Instead of using a single index to track the current echo_buf position, use a head index when adding to the buffer and a tail index when consuming from the buffer. Allow these head and tail indices to wrap at max representable value; perform modulo reduction via helper functions when accessing the buffer.

Convert the tty_buffer_flush() exclusion mechanism to a public interface - tty_buffer_lock/unlock_exclusive() - and use the interface to safely write the paste selection to the line discipline.

Atomic bit ops are no longer required to indicate a flip buffer flush is pending, as the flush_mutex is sufficient barrier. Remove the unnecessary port .iflags field and localize flip buffer state to struct tty_bufhead.
