Marek Marczykowski-Górecki 55bb086ce9 USB: serial: debug: do not echo input by default
commit 00af4f3dda1461ec90d892edc10bec6d3c50c554 upstream.

This driver is intended as a "client" end of the console connection.
When connected to a host it's supposed to receive debug logs, and
possibly allow to interact with whatever debug console is available
there. Feeding messages back, depending on a configuration may cause log
messages be executed as shell commands (which can be really bad if one
is unlucky, imagine a log message like "prevented running `rm -rf
/home`"). In case of Xen, it exposes sysrq-like debug interface, and
feeding it its own logs will pretty quickly hit 'R' for "instant
reboot".

Contrary to a classic serial console, the USB one cannot be configured
ahead of time, as the device shows up only when target OS is up. And at
the time device is opened to execute relevant ioctl, it's already too
late, especially when logs start flowing shortly after device is
initialized.
Avoid the issue by changing default to no echo for this type of devices.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
