After adding devpts multiple-insrances sysctl kernel.pty.max limit pty count for
each devpts instance independently, while kernel.pty.nr shows total pty count.
This patch restores sysctl kernel.pty.max as global limit (4096 by default),
adds pty reseve for main devpts (mounted without "newinstance" argument),
and new sysctl to tune it: kernel.pty.reserve (1024 by default)
Also it adds devpts mount option "max=%d" to limit pty count for each devpts
instance independently. (by default NR_UNIX98_PTY_MAX == 2^20)
Thus devpts instances in containers cannot eat up all available pty even if we didn't
set any limits, while with "max" argument we can adjust limits more precisely.
Plus, now open("/dev/ptmx") return -ENOSPC in case lack of pty indexes,
this is more informative than -EIO.

If tty_add_file fails at the point it is now, we have to revert all
the changes we did to the tty. It means either decrease all refcounts
if this was a tty reopen or delete the tty if it was newly allocated.
There was a try to fix this in v3.0-rc2 using tty_release in 0259894c7
(TTY: fix fail path in tty_open). But instead it introduced a NULL
dereference. It's because tty_release dereferences
filp->private_data, but that one is set even in our tty_add_file. And
when tty_add_file fails, it's still NULL/garbage. Hence tty_release
cannot be called there.
To circumvent the original leak (and the current NULL deref) we split
tty_add_file into two functions, making the latter non-failing. In
that case we may do the former early in open, where handling failures
is easy. The latter stays as it is now. So there is no change in
functionality.
The original bug (leak) was introduced by f573bd176 (tty: Remove
__GFP_NOFAIL from tty_add_file()). Thanks Dan for reporting this.
Later, we may split tty_release into more functions and call only some
of them in this fail path instead. (If at all possible.)

tty_operations->remove is normally called like:
queue_release_one_tty
->tty_shutdown
->tty_driver_remove_tty
->tty_operations->remove
However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if
tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not.
pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown.
So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never
called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in
/proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr.
I see this was already reported at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370
But it was not fixed since then.
This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We
allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is
called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix
here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for
user.
And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global
and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown).
While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined,
tty_shutdown() is not called.

Since commit (4564f9e5: consolidate line discipline number definitions)
the patch moved all line discipline number from a per-architecture termios.h
to a shared one: tty.h. However, prior to this consolidation work, the
line discipline numbers were outside of an ifdef __KERNEL__/endif block
so these numbers used to be exported to user-space.
Since such numbers are kernel ABI anyway, and tty.h is already included
for user- space header processing, just move these relevant defines
outside of the ifdef __KERNEL__/endif block in include/linux/tty.h.

Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for
the next tick to complete some actions. That's usually not all that
noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being
totally unacceptable.
As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty
will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations
will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration.
Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case
down to 0.009s on my machine.
In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for
things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface
using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).

Like in the "TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing" patch,

1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this
section tty_lock is held. However tty_lock is temporarily dropped in
the middle of the function by tty_ldisc_hangup.
The fix is to introduce a new flag which we set during the unlocked
window and check it in tty_reopen too. The flag is TTY_HUPPING and is
cleared after TTY_HUPPED is set.
While at it, remove duplicate TTY_HUPPED set_bit. The one after
calling ops->hangup seems to be more correct. But anyway, we hold
tty_lock, so there should be no difference.
Also document the function it does that kind of crap.

tty: fix fu_list abuse
tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.
If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".
Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.
The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.
[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.
This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

Commit e1108a63e1 ("usb_serial: Use the
shutdown() operation") breaks the ability to use a usb console
starting in 2.6.33. This was observed when using
console=ttyUSB0,115200 as a boot argument with an FTDI device. The
error is:
ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: ftdi_submit_read_urb - failed submitting read urb, error -22
The handling of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED changed in 2.6.32 such that in
tty_port_shutdown() it always clears the flag if it is set. The fix
is to add a variable to the tty_port struct to indicate when the tty
port is a console.

The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations
are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of
"TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the
size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find()
rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on
the size of the tty_buffer.
This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the
size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc()
should not require high-order allocations.

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.
However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.
This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).
This patch:
Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.
Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.
The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.
So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.
This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a54297478: "pty: quickfix for the

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially
with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the
code than simply try and patch it up.
This patch
- splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly
later)
- introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device
- fixes the complete mess that hangup caused
- implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking
There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but
at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems.
This fixes the following known bugs
- hang up can leak ldisc references
- hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way
- pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change
- reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded
and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports.
I'm sure it also adds the odd new one.

Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when
the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens
frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C)
and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline.
Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all
ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the
loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between
tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately
written to the tty driver.
The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need
to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column
position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output,
since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written.
Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code
to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the
Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks.
Highlights are:
* Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full
- continuous program output can block echo
* Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S)
- (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output)
* Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not
split up by interleaved program output
* Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to
the tty driver
* Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline

TIOCSTI is used very rarely, this simple solution is probably good
enough. (The only program I could find that uses TIOCSTI is mailx/nail

Remove the code that automatically disables TTY input auditing in processes
that open TTYs when they have no other TTY open; this heuristic was
intended to automatically handle daemons, but it has false positives (e.g.
with sshd) that make it impossible to control TTY input auditing from a PAM
module. With this patch, TTY input auditing is controlled from user-space
only.
On the other hand, not even for daemons does it make sense to audit "input"
from PTY masters; this data was produced by a program writing to the PTY
slave, and does not represent data entered by the user.

Dave Miller noted various cases where line disciplines for things like
ppp go poking around in termios themselves in ways that broke with the
new termios code. Rather than have them all learning about termios
internals provide proper methods for this
- tty_mode_ioctl()
This handles all the terminal mode handling for speed/carrier
etc and none of the methods are ldisc dependant so they can be called
by any user
- tty_perform_flush()
This extracts the flush functionality and enables pppd the ppp
layer to share it cleanly.
The existing n_tty_ioctl code is refactored in this patch to provide
the new functions and to call them itself appropriately. This patch
has no (intended) behaviour changes and simply prepares for the other

This adds three new functions (or in one case to be more exact makes it
always available)
tty_termios_copy_hw
Copies all the hardware settings from one termios structure to the other.
This is intended for drivers that support little or no hardware setting
tty_termios_encode_baud_rate
Allows you to set the input and output baud rate in a termios structure. A
driver is supposed to set the resulting baud rate from a request so most
will want to use this function to set the resulting input and output rates
to match the hardware values. Internally it knows about keeping Bxxx
encoding when possible to maximise compatibility.
tty_encode_baud_rate
As above but for the tty's own current termios structure
I suspect this will initially need some tweaking as it gets enabled by
driver patches over the next few mm cycles so consider this lot -mm only
for the moment so it can stabilize and end up neat before it goes to base.
I've tried not to break any obscure architectures - if you get a speed you
can't represent the code will print warnings on non updated termios systems
but not break.
Once this is merged and seems sane I've got a growing pile of driver
updates to use it - notably for USB serial drivers.

Patch c5c34d4862 (tty: flush flip buffer on
ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory
leaks.
The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being
pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc().
flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline
receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both
tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it
restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the
buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a
new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost
forever without being released.
(Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting
the bug)
- Use tty->flags bits for the flush status.
- Wait for the flag to clear again before returning
- Fix the doc error noted
- Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending

Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.
Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still
work).
TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.
Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).
Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY.
See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when
we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the
normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader
has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty.
We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the
TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the
essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code.
This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and
who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received
a SIGHUP it was expecting.
In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of
tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h

Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting
is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.
In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and

The aim of this patch set is to start wrapping up the struct pid conversions.
As such this patchset culminates with the removal of kill_pg, kill_pg_info,
__kill_pg_info, do_each_task_pid, and while_each_task_pid.
kill_proc, daemonize, and kernel_thread are still in my sights but there is
still work to get to them.
The first three are basic cleanups around disassociate_ctty, while working on
converting it I found several issues. tty_old_pgrp can be a tricky concept to
wrap your head around.
1 tty: Make __proc_set_tty static.
2 tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty
3 tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty
These just stop using the old helper functions.
4 signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code.
5 signal: Rewrite kill_something_info so it uses newer helpers.
Then the grind to convert the tty layer and all of it's helper functions to
struct pid.
6 pid: Make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t.
7 pid: Use struct pid for talking about process groups in exit.c
8 pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned
9 tty: Update the tty layer to work with struct pid.
A final helper function update.
10 pid: Replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_task
And the removal of the functions that are now unused.
11 pid: Remove now unused do_each_task_pid and while_each_task_pid
12 pid: Remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_info
All of these should be fairly simple and to the point.
This patch:
Currently all users of __proc_set_tty are in tty_io.c so make the function
static.

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture

in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case

This does several things.
- It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process
context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this
operation.
- It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
- This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
- This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
- With the console SAK processing moved into process context this
patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically
update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.
With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed.

This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.
The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The
code patches here ensure that providing
1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)
the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this
point in time.
Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

Fix the locking of signal->tty.
Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
invocations)

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

Add rudimentary support by manipulating the VGA registers. However, not
all vesa modes are VGA compatible, so VGA compatiblity is checked first.
Only 2 levels are supported, powerup and powerdown.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
