[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/console: reset tty when xenconsole fails

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If xenconsole (the client program) fails, it calls err.  This would
previously neglect to reset the user's terminal to sanity.  Use atexit
to do so.

This routinely happens in Xen 4.4 RC5 with pygrub because something
writes the value "" to the tty xenstore key when using xenconsole.
The cause of this is not yet known, but after this patch it just
results in a harmless error message.
