How to Write to Tty from a Kernel Module

How can I write to TTY from a kernel module?

use tty = get_current_tty(); instead of tty = current->signal->tty;

that's it

you need to lock the tty before accessing it and get_current_tty does it internally

NOTE: get_current_tty is under EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, hence your module or code

How to write to a tty from kernel space with only major and minor device numbers available?

You don't do this by passing major/minor numbers to your syscall.

Instead, have the userspace side open the tty it wants then pass the resulting file descriptor to your syscall. You then use the sequence { fget(); kernel_write(); fput(); } to write to the supplied file descriptor.

How to write read() with poll() functionality in kernel for tty driver?

There is no read callback. The tty core buffers the data received by the tty drivers in a structure called struct tty_flip_buffer. Read Chapter 18 of LDD3

Custom char device linux module under stock major (like tty)

If you want your device to be exposed as a TTY, implement it as a serial driver, similar to other devices in drivers/tty/serial. The kernel will apply the TTY layer to it, and it will show up as a TTY.
