2008-06-20Add a bunch of cycle_kernel_lock() callsJonathan Corbet
All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver initialization. So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be on the safe side. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2008-05-15tty: fix BKL related leak and crashIngo Molnar
Enabling the BKL to be lockdep tracked uncovered the following upstream kernel bug in the tty code, which caused a BKL reference leak: ================================================ [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ] ------------------------------------------------ dmesg/3121 is leaving the kernel with locks still held! 1 lock held by dmesg/3121: #0: (kernel_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02f34d9>] opost+0x24/0x194 this might explain some of the atomicity warnings and crashes that -tip tree testing has been experiencing since the BKL was converted back to a spinlock.

For e.g. proper TTY canonical support, IUTF8 termios flag has to be set as appropriate. Linux used to not care about setting that flag for VT TTYs.
