The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

and linting procedure:
1. Remove useless sub-expression:
- if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string && (nulonly || 1))) {
+ if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string)) {
The sub-expression "(nulonly || 1)" always evaluates to true and
according to CVS logs seems to be just a left-over from some
debugging and introduced by accident. Removing the sub-expression
doesn't change semantics and a code inspection showed that the
variable "nulonly" is also not necessary here in any way (and the
expression would require fixing instead of removing).
2. Remove dead code:
- if (backslash && c == '\\') {
- if (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) != 1) {
- status = 1;
- break;
- }
- STPUTC(c, p);
- } else if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
+ if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
Inspection of the control and data flow showed that variable
"backslash" is always false (0) when the "if"-expression is
evaluated, hence the whole block is effectively dead code.
Additionally, the skipping of characters after a backslash is already
performed correctly a few lines above, so this code is also not
needed at all. According to the CVS logs and the ASH 0.2 sources,
this code existed in this way already since its early days.
3. Cleanup Style:
- ! trap[signo][0] == '\0' &&
+ ! (trap[signo][0] == '\0') &&
The expression wants to ensure the trap is not assigned the empty
string. But the "!" operator has higher precedence than "==", so the
comparison should be put into parenthesis to form the intended way of
expression. Nevertheless the code was effectively not really broken
as both particular NUL comparisons are semantically equal, of course.
But the parenthesized version is a lot more intuitive.
4. Remove shadowing variable declaration:
- char *q;
The declaration of symbol "q" hides another identical declaration of
"q" in the same context. As the other "q" is already reused multiple
times and also can be reused again without negative side-effects,
just remove the shadowing declaration.
5. Just small cosmetics:
- if (ifsset() != 0)
+ if (ifsset())
The ifsset() macro is already coded by returning the boolean result
of a comparison operator, so no need to compare this boolean result
again against a numerical value. This also aligns the macros usage to
the remaining existing code.

recommends using this line in some circumstances.
The above line does work on solaris, irix and aix (as three data points),

However, that change to execve() effected *all* shells (which caused
