From b9026e83f9c7610526f045f2fc1135b45a26305f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2020 15:09:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fs/cpio/init: unbreak ttyname_r() on glibc after dropping /dev/console exec Commit 98a6f1fc02e41 (fs/cpio: make initramfs init script survive 'console=' kernel argument) dropped the explicit /dev/console execs for fd 0,1,2, as they fail when booted with console= and aren't really needed as the kernel will setup fd 0,1,2 from /dev/console before executing the initramfs anyway. Not doing this unfortunately confuses glibc's ttyname_r(3) implementation (used by E.G. busybox/coreutils 'tty'), causing it to fail with ENOENT as it does a fstat on fd 0 and tries to match up st_ino / st_dev against the entries in /dev (since glibc 2.26): commit 15e9a4f378c8607c2ae1aa465436af4321db0e23 Author: Christian Brauner Date: Fri Jan 27 15:59:59 2017 +0100 linux ttyname and ttyname_r: do not return wrong results If a link (say /proc/self/fd/0) pointing to a device, say /dev/pts/2, in a parent mount namespace is passed to ttyname, and a /dev/pts/2 exists (in a different devpts) in the current namespace, then it returns /dev/pts/2. But /dev/pts/2 is NOT the current tty, it is a different file and device. Detect this case and return ENODEV. Userspace can choose to take this as a hint that the fd points to a tty device but to act on the fd rather than the link. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner The reason it fails is that we manually mount devtmpfs on /dev in /init, so the /dev/console used by the kernel (in rootfs) is not the same file as /dev/console at runtime (in devtmpfs). Notice: Once logged in, tty does work correctly. Presumably login reopens stdin/stdout/stderr. To fix this, re-add the exec of /dev/console for fd 0,1,2, but only do so if possible. Because of the above mentioned shell behaviour (specified by POSIX [0]), perform this check in a subshell.
