console: disallow opening for writing when no write method defined
Some consoles, like the input console (usually /dev/cs0), don't feature a puts or putc callback. Trying to echo out of them would thus crash: barebox@Embest MarS Board i.MX6Dual:/ echo -a /dev/cs0 prefetch abort pc : [<00000004>] lr : [<4fd05071>] WARNING: [<...>] (fops_write+0xd/0x10) WARNING: [<...>] (devfs_write+0x21/0x2a) WARNING: [<...>] (__write+0xcb/0xf0) WARNING: [<...>] (write+0x2d/0x68) WARNING: [<...>] (dputc+0x31/0x34) WARNING: [<...>] (do_echo+0xcb/0x144) Fix this by only allowing open(.., O_WRONLY) or open(..., O_RDWR) when puts is defined. Consoles defining putc are covered by this as well as those have putc-calling __console_puts assigned as their puts when they are registered. Now echo -a /dev/cs0 would yield: open: Operation not permitted Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum <ahmad@a3f.at> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
