commit dfcab6ba573445c703235ab6c83758eec12d7f28 upstream.
dw8250_set_termios() doesn't set baud rate if the arg "old ktermios" is
NULL. This happens during resume.
Call Trace:
...
[ 54.928108] dw8250_set_termios+0x162/0x170
[ 54.928114] serial8250_set_termios+0x17/0x20
[ 54.928117] uart_change_speed+0x64/0x160
[ 54.928119] uart_resume_port
...
So the baud rate is not restored after S3 and breaks the apps who use
UART, for example, console and bluetooth etc.
We address this issue by setting the baud rate irrespective of arg
"old", just like the drivers for other 8250 IPs. This is tested with
Intel Broxton platform.

commit 60ab0fafc4b652fcaf7cbc3bb8555a0cf1149c28 upstream.
The sleep wake-up refactoring that I introduced in
commit c7e1b4059075 ("tty: serial: exar: Relocate sleep wake-up handling")
did not account for devices with a slave device on the expansion port.
This patch pokes the INT0 register in the slave device, if present, in
order to ensure that MSI interrupts don't get permanently "stuck"
because of a sleep wake-up interrupt as described here:
commit 2c0ac5b48a35 ("serial: exar: Fix stuck MSIs")
This also converts an ioread8() to readb() in order to provide visual
consistency with the MMIO-only accessors used elsewhere in the driver.

The above commit causes userland application to no longer write
correctly its first write to a dumb terminal connected to /dev/ttyS0.
This commit seems to be the culprit. It's as though the TX FIFO is being
reset during that write. What should be displayed is:

What is displayed is some variation of:

[ Upstream commit b6da31b2c07c46f2dcad1d86caa835227a16d9ff ]
Unlike normal serials, in pty layer, there is no guarantee that multiple
threads don't insert input characters at the same time. If it is happened,
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag can be executed concurrently. This can
lead slab out-of-bounds write in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag.
Call sequences are as follows.
CPU0 CPU1
n_tty_ioctl_helper n_tty_ioctl_helper
__start_tty tty_send_xchar
tty_wakeup pty_write
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup tty_insert_flip_string
n_hdlc_send_frames tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
pty_write
tty_insert_flip_string
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
To fix the race, acquire port->lock in pty_write() before it inserts input
characters to tty buffer. It prevents multiple threads from inserting
input characters concurrently.
The crash log is as follows:

[ Upstream commit 447808bf500a7cc92173266a59f8a494e132b122 ]
time_init() will set up tb_ticks_per_usec based on reality.
time_init() is called *after* udbg_init_opal_common() during boot.
from arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c:
unsigned long tb_ticks_per_usec = 100; /* sane default */
Currently, all powernv systems have a timebase frequency of 512mhz
(512000000/1000000 == 0x200) - although there's nothing written
down anywhere that I can find saying that we couldn't make that
different based on the requirements in the ISA.
So, we've been (accidentally) thwacking the (currently) correct
(for powernv at least) value for tb_ticks_per_usec earlier than
we otherwise would have.
The "sane default" seems to be adequate for our purposes between
udbg_init_opal_common() and time_init() being called, and if it isn't,
then we should probably be setting it somewhere that isn't hvc_opal.c!

commit 20dcff436e9fcd2e106b0ccc48a52206bc176d70 upstream.
After the commit
7d8905d06405 ("serial: 8250_pci: Enable device after we check black list")
pure serial multi-port cards, such as CH355, got blacklisted and thus
not being enumerated anymore. Previously, it seems, blacklisting them
was on purpose to shut up pciserial_init_one() about record duplication.
So, remove the entries from blacklist in order to get cards enumerated.

commit ebec3f8f5271139df618ebdf8427e24ba102ba94 upstream.
syzbot is reporting stalls at __process_echoes() [1]. This is because
since ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail becomes true for some reason,
the discard loop is serving as almost infinite loop. This patch tries to
avoid falling into ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail situation by
making access to echo_* variables more carefully.
Since reset_buffer_flags() is called without output_lock held, it should
not touch echo_* variables. And omit a call to reset_buffer_flags() from
n_tty_open() by using vzalloc().
Since add_echo_byte() is called without output_lock held, it needs memory
barrier between storing into echo_buf[] and incrementing echo_head counter.
echo_buf() needs corresponding memory barrier before reading echo_buf[].
Lack of handling the possibility of not-yet-stored multi-byte operation
might be the reason of falling into ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail
situation, for if I do WARN_ON(ldata->echo_commit == tail + 1) prior to
echo_buf(ldata, tail + 1), the WARN_ON() fires.
Also, explicitly masking with buffer for the former "while" loop, and
use ldata->echo_commit > tail for the latter "while" loop.

commit 8afb1d2c12163f77777f84616a8e9444d0050ebe upstream.
Commit 40f70c03e33a ("serial: sh-sci: add locking to console write
function to avoid SMP lockup") copied the strategy to avoid locking
problems in conjuncture with the console from the UART8250
driver. Instead using directly spin_{try}lock_irqsave(),
local_irq_save() followed by spin_{try}lock() was used. While this is
correct on mainline, for -rt it is a problem. spin_{try}lock() will
check if it is running in a valid context. Since the local_irq_save()
has already been executed, the context has changed and
spin_{try}lock() will complain. The reason why spin_{try}lock()
complains is that on -rt the spin locks are turned into mutexes and
therefore can sleep. Sleeping with interrupts disabled is not valid.

Although we populate the ->throttle and ->unthrottle UART operations,
these may not be called until the ldisc has had a chance to schedule and
check buffer space. This means that we may overflow the flip buffers
without ever hitting the ldisc's throttle threshold.
This change implements an interrupt-based throttle, where we check for
space in the flip buffers before reading characters from the UART's
FIFO. If there's no space available, we disable the RX interrupt and
schedule a timer to check for space later.
For this, we need an unlocked version of the set_throttle function to be
able to change throttle state from the irq_handler, which already holds
port->lock.
This prevents a case where we drop characters under heavy RX load.

The aspeed VUART runs at LPC bus frequency, rather than being restricted
to a typical UART baud rate. This means that the VUART can receive a lot
of data, which can overrun tty flip buffers, and/or cause a large amount
of interrupt traffic.
This change implements the uart_port->throttle & unthrottle callbacks,
implemented by disabling the receiver line status & received data
available IRQs.

Currently, we export serial8250_rx_chars, which does a whole bunch of
reads from the 8250 data register, without any form of flow control
between reads.
An upcoming change to the aspeed vuart driver implements more
fine-grained flow control in the interrupt handler, requiring
character-at-a-time control over the rx path.
This change exports serial8250_read_char to allow this.

This change adds a flag to indicate that a UART is has an external means
of synchronising its FIFO, without needing CTSRTS or XON/XOFF.
This allows us to use the throttle/unthrottle callbacks, without having
to claim other methods of flow control.

commit 4a7e625ce50412a7711efa0f2ef0b96ce3826759 upstream.
Commit 9b96fbacda34 ("serial: PL011: clear pending interrupts")
clears the RX and receive timeout interrupts on pl011 startup, to
avoid a screaming-interrupt scenario that can occur when the
firmware or bootloader leaves these interrupts asserted.
This has been noted as an issue when running Linux on qemu [1].
Unfortunately, the above fix seems to lead to potential
misbehaviour if the RX FIFO interrupt is asserted _non_ spuriously
on driver startup, if the RX FIFO is also already full to the
trigger level.
Clearing the RX FIFO interrupt does not change the FIFO fill level.
In this scenario, because the interrupt is now clear and because
the FIFO is already full to the trigger level, no new assertion of
the RX FIFO interrupt can occur unless the FIFO is drained back
below the trigger level. This never occurs because the pl011
driver is waiting for an RX FIFO interrupt to tell it that there is
something to read, and does not read the FIFO at all until that
interrupt occurs.
Thus, simply clearing "spurious" interrupts on startup may be
misguided, since there is no way to be sure that the interrupts are
truly spurious, and things can go wrong if they are not.
This patch instead clears the interrupt condition by draining the
RX FIFO during UART startup, after clearing any potentially
spurious interrupt. This should ensure that an interrupt will
definitely be asserted if the RX FIFO subsequently becomes
sufficiently full.
The drain is done at the point of enabling interrupts only. This
means that it will occur any time the UART is newly opened through
the tty layer. It will not apply to polled-mode use of the UART by
kgdboc: since that scenario cannot use interrupts by design, this
should not matter. kgdboc will interact badly with "normal" use of
the UART in any case: this patch makes no attempt to paper over
such issues.
This patch does not attempt to address the case where the RX FIFO
fills faster than it can be drained: that is a pathological
hardware design problem that is beyond the scope of the driver to
work around. As a failsafe, the number of poll iterations for
draining the FIFO is limited to twice the FIFO size. This will
ensure that the kernel at least boots even if it is impossible to
drain the FIFO for some reason.

before enabled the interruption

commit 13dc04d0e5fdc25c8f713ad23fdce51cf2bf96ba upstream.
I noticed that unused UARTs won't necessarily idle properly always
unless at least one byte tx transfer is done first.
After some debugging I narrowed down the problem to the scr register
dma configuration bits that need to be set before softreset for the
clocks to idle. Unless we do this, the module clkctrl idlest bits
may be set to 1 instead of 3 meaning the clock will never idle and
is blocking deeper idle states for the whole domain.
This might be related to the configuration done by the bootloader
or kexec booting where certain configurations cause the 8250 or
the clkctrl clock to jam in a way where setting of the scr bits
and reset is needed to clear it. I've tried diffing the 8250
registers for the various modes, but did not see anything specific.
So far I've only seen this on omap4 but I'm suspecting this might
also happen on the other clkctrl using SoCs considering they
already have a quirk enabled for UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE.
Let's fix the issue by configuring scr before reset for basic dma
even if we don't use it. The scr register will be reset when we do
softreset few lines after, and we restore scr on resume. We should
do this for all the SoCs with UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE quirk flag
set since the ones with UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE are all based
using clkctrl similar to omap4.
Looks like both OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_1 | OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL
bits are needed for the clkctrl to idle after a softreset.
And we need to add omap4 to also use the UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE
for the related workaround to be enabled. This same compatible
value will also be used for omap5.

commit 9594b5be7ec110ed11acec58fa94f3f293668c85 upstream.
I was puzzled while looking at /proc/interrupts and random things showed
up between reboots. This occurred more often but I realised it later. The
"correct" output should be:
|38: 11861 atmel-aic5 2 Level ttyS0
but I saw sometimes
|38: 6426 atmel-aic5 2 Level tty1
and accounted it wrongly as correct. This is use after free and the
former example randomly got the "old" pointer which pointed to the same
content. With SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and HARDENED I even got
|38: 7067 atmel-aic5 2 Level E=Started User Manager for UID 0
or other nonsense.
As it turns out the tty, pointer that is accessed in atmel_startup(), is
freed() before atmel_shutdown(). It seems to happen quite often that the
tty for ttyS0 is allocated and freed while ->shutdown is not invoked. I
don't do anything special - just a systemd boot :)
Use dev_name(&pdev->dev) as the IRQ name for request_irq(). This exists
as long as the driver is loaded so no use-after-free here.

syzbot is reporting crashes [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at
tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_restore(). While syzbot stops at WARN_ON()
due to panic_on_warn == true, panic_on_warn == false will after all trigger
an OOPS by dereferencing old->ops->num if IS_ERR(old) == true.
We can simplify tty_ldisc_restore() as three calls (old->ops->num, N_TTY,
N_NULL) to tty_ldisc_failto() in addition to avoiding possible error
pointer dereference.
If someone reports kernel panic triggered by forcing all memory allocations
for tty_ldisc_restore() to fail, we can consider adding __GFP_NOFAIL for
tty_ldisc_restore() case.

Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix
__earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32
and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This
fix was based on commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker
defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem.
However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that
gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9
chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding
between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in
an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol
"__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond
to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table".
To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was
subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach
by commits:
3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")
Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.

To reset the UART the SRST needs be cleared (low active). According
to the documentation the bit will remain active for 4 module clocks
until it is cleared (set to 1).
Hence the real register need to be read in case the cached register
indicates that the SRST bit is zero.
This bug lead to wrong baudrate because the baud rate register got
restored before reset completed in imx_flush_buffer.

When using half-duplex mode (which disables receiver during txing)
the RTS signal cannot be driven low during transmission when using
i.MX UART RTS/CTS control. This seems to be a limitation of the
i.MX UART IP: The RTS (CTS_B) signal is controlled by the receiver.
When the receiver is disabled, the signal stays in UART logic idle
state which is high...
If SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND is used, RTS needs to be high active during
transmission. Since this is the default state of the RTS (CTS_B)
signal when the receiver is off, half-duplex mode in this
configuration works fine.
However, a low-active RTS signal (flag SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND not set)
cannot be generated when the receiver is turned off.
Print an error if the user selects this unsupported configuration
(both SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND and SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX unset) and
configure the closest working configuration (set the
SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX flag).

Commit 68a0db1d7da2 reworked the baud rate selection, but also added
a (not so) subtle change in the way the local flags (c_lflag in the
termios structure) are handled, forcing the new flags to always be the
same as the old ones.
The reason for that particular change is both obscure and undocumented.
It also completely breaks userspace. Something as trivial as getty is
unusable:
<example>
Debian GNU/Linux 9 sy-borg ttyMV0
sy-borg login: root
root
[timeout]
Debian GNU/Linux 9 sy-borg ttyMV0
</example>
which is quite obvious in retrospect: getty cannot get in control of
the echo mode, is stuck in canonical mode, and times out without ever
seeing anything valid. It also begs the question of how this change was
ever tested.
The fix is pretty obvious: stop messing with c_lflag, and the world
will be a happier place.

At least on droid 4 with control channel in ADM mode, there is no response
to Modem Status Command (MSC). Currently gsmtty_modem_update() expects to
have data in dlci->modem_rx unless debug & 2 is set. This means that on
droid 4, things only work if debug & 2 is set.
Let's fix the issue by ignoring empty dlci->modem_rx for ADM mode. In
the AMD mode, CMD_MSC will never respond and gsm_process_modem() won't
get called to set dlci->modem_rx.
And according to ts_127010v140000p.pdf, MSC is only relevant if basic
option is chosen, so let's test for that too.

Commit ea3d8465ab9b ("tty: n_gsm: Allow ADM response in addition to UA for
control dlci") added support for DLCI to stay in Asynchronous Disconnected
Mode (ADM). But we still get long delays waiting for commands to other
DLCI to complete:
--> 5) C: SABM(P)
Q> 0) C: UIH(F)
Q> 0) C: UIH(F)
Q> 0) C: UIH(F)
...
This happens because gsm_control_send() sets cretries timer to T2 that is
by default set to 34. This will cause resend for T2 times for the control
frame. In ADM mode, we will never get a response so the control frame, so
retries are just delaying all the commands.
Let's fix the issue by setting DLCI_MODE_ADM flag after detecting the ADM
mode for the control DLCI. Then we can use that in gsm_control_send() to
set retries to 1. This means the control frame will be sent once allowing
the other end at an opportunity to switch from ADM to ABM mode.
Note that retries will be decremented in gsm_control_retransmit() so
we don't want to set it to 0 here.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_ioperm() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant
as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same
calling convention as sys_ioperm().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
