In a TTY's non-canonical mode, data availability can be configured by
setting VMIN and VTIME to determine the minimum amount of bytes to read
and the timeout between bytes, respectively. Some ports (such as SRB2)
set VMIN to 0 which effectively makes reading a TTY such as stdin a
non-blocking read. We didn't support this, causing ports to hang as soon
as they try to read stdin without any data available.
Add a very duct-tapey implementation for the case where VMIN == 0 by
overwriting the TTY's description's blocking status; 3 FIXMEs are
included to make sure we clean this up some day.
Automarks are similar to bookmarks placed by the terminal, allowing the
user to selectively remove a single command and its output from the
terminal scrollback.
This commit implements a single way to add marks: automatically placing
them when the shell becomes interactive.
To make sure the shell behaves correctly after its expected prompt
position changes, the terminal layer forces a resize event to be passed
to the shell on such (possibly) partial clears; this also has the nice
side effect of fixing the disappearing prompt on the preexisting "clear
including history" action: Fixes#4192.
MasterPTY::read called DoubleBuffer::read which takes a mutex (which
may block) while holding m_slave's spinlock. If it did block, and was
later rescheduled on a different physical CPU, we would deadlock on
re-locking m_slave inside the unblock callback. (Since our recursive
spinlock implementation is processor based and not process based)
MasterPTY's double buffer unblock callback would take m_slave's
spinlock and then call evaluate_block_conditions() which would take
BlockerSet's spinlock, while on the other hand, BlockerSet's
add_blocker would take BlockerSet's spinlock, and then call
should_add_blocker, which would call unblock_if_conditions_are_met,
which would then call should_unblock, which will finally call
MasterPTY::can_read() which will take m_slave's spinlock.
Resolve this by moving the call to evaluate_block_conditions() out of
the scope of m_slave's spinlock, as there's no need to hold the lock
while calling it anyways.
