David Howells 31d1d48e19 Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobe ... 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().
