The audit subsystem just started printing the name of the tty,
but that causes a build failure when CONFIG_TTY is disabled:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `audit_log_task_info':
memremap.c:(.text+0x5e34c): undefined reference to `tty_name'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `audit_set_loginuid':
memremap.c:(.text+0x63b34): undefined reference to `tty_name'
This adds tty_name() to the list of functions that are provided
as trivial stubs in that configuration.

Thanks for reporting this and providing a patch; I'll be happy to
merge this into the audit#next branch with commit db0a6fb5d97a but I
have one question (see below).

As it currently stands tty_name() returns "NULL tty" when the passed
tty_struct is NULL while this patch returns "(none)" in the case of
CONFIG_TTY=n; it seems like some consistency might be good, yes? Or
do you think there is value in differentiating between the two cases?

Right, I noticed that the audit code prints "(none)" here while the
tty code prints "NULL tty", and that meant I could not make it behave
the same way as all the existing code. I picked "(none)" because
in case of CONFIG_TTY being disabled that is more logical: it's
not a NULL pointer because something went wrong, but instead the
pointer doesn't matter and we know there is no tty.

Apologies for not having foreseen this in the review.
Arnd's solution looks good to me.

Thanks for catching this Arnd, this solution looks good to me.
It didn't occur to me that tty could go away, though I should have
noticed that for the prototype for tty_kref_put().
