[PATCH] n_tty: Remove LINEMODE support

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Sun Jan 18 2015 - 16:31:00 EST


Commit 26df6d13406d1 ("tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE") added
the undocumented EXTPROC input processing mode, which ignores the ICANON
setting and forces pty slave input to be processed in non-canonical
mode.

Although intended to provide a transparent mechanism for local line
edit with telnetd (and other remote shell protocols), the transparency
is limited.

Userspace usage is abandoned; telnetd does not even compile with
LINEMODE support. readline/bash and sshd never supported this.
