tty: introduce and use tty_port_tty_vhangup() helper

2026-01-08T09:14:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2b5eac0f8c6e79bc152c8804f9f88d16717013ab ] This code (tty_get -> vhangup -> tty_put) is repeated on few places. Introduce a helper similar to tty_port_tty_hangup() (asynchronous) to handle even vhangup (synchronous). And use it on those places. In fact, reuse the tty_port_tty_hangup()'s code and call tty_vhangup() depending on a new bool parameter.

tty: serial: fix print format specifiers

2025-08-20T16:30:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 33a2515abd45c64911955ff1da179589db54f99f ] The serial info sometimes produces negative TX/RX counts. E.g.: 3: uart:FSL_LPUART mmio:0x02970000 irq:46 tx:-1595870545 rx:339619 RTS|CTS|DTR|DSR|CD It appears that the print format specifiers don't match with the types of the respective variables. E.g.: All of the fields in struct uart_icount are u32, but the format specifier used is %d, even though u32 is unsigned and %d is for signed integers. Update drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c to use the proper format specifiers. Reference https://docs.kernel.org/core-api/printk-formats.html as the documentation for what format specifiers are the proper ones to use for a given C type.

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of tty/serial driver updates for 6.12-rc1. Nothing major in here, just nice forward progress in the slow cleanup of the serial apis, and lots of other driver updates and fixes. Included in here are: - serial api updates from Jiri to make things more uniform and sane - 8250_platform driver cleanups - samsung serial driver fixes and updates - qcom-geni serial driver fixes from Johan for the bizarre UART engine that that chip seems to have. Hopefully it's in a better state now, but hardware designers still seem to come up with more ways to make broken UARTS 40+ years after this all should have finished. - sc16is7xx driver updates - omap 8250 driver updates - 8250_bcm2835aux driver updates - a few new serial driver bindings added - other serial minor driver updates All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported problems" * tag 'tty-6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (65 commits) tty: serial: samsung: Fix serial rx on Apple A7-A9 tty: serial: samsung: Fix A7-A11 serial earlycon SError tty: serial: samsung: Use bit manipulation macros for APPLE_S5L_* tty: rp2: Fix reset with non forgiving PCIe host bridges serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: Enable module autoloading serial: qcom-geni: fix polled console corruption serial: qcom-geni: disable interrupts during console writes serial: qcom-geni: fix console corruption serial: qcom-geni: introduce qcom_geni_serial_poll_bitfield() serial: qcom-geni: fix arg types for qcom_geni_serial_poll_bit() soc: qcom: geni-se: add GP_LENGTH/IRQ_EN_SET/IRQ_EN_CLEAR registers serial: qcom-geni: fix false console tx restart serial: qcom-geni: fix fifo polling timeout tty: hvc: convert comma to semicolon mxser: convert comma to semicolon serial: 8250_bcm2835aux: Fix clock imbalance in PM resume serial: sc16is7xx: convert bitmask definitions to use BIT() macro serial: sc16is7xx: fix copy-paste errors in EFR_SWFLOWx_BIT constants serial: sc16is7xx: remove SC16IS7XX_MSR_DELTA_MASK serial: xilinx_uartps: Make cdns_rs485_supported static ...

serial: core: Introduce wrapper to set @uart_port->cons

2024-08-21T12:56:23+00:00

Introduce uart_port_set_cons() as a wrapper to set @cons of a uart_port. The wrapper sets @cons under the port lock in order to prevent @cons from disappearing while another context is holding the port lock. This is necessary for a follow-up commit relating to the port lock wrappers, which rely on @cons not changing between lock and unlock.

serial: use guards for simple mutex locks

Guards can help to make the code more readable. So use it wherever they do so. On many places labels and 'ret' locals are eliminated completely. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby (SUSE) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240808103549.429349-2-jirislaby@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: don't use uninitialized value in uart_poll_init()

2024-08-07T11:13:35+00:00

Coverity reports (as CID 1536978) that uart_poll_init() passes uninitialized pm_state to uart_change_pm(). It is in case the first 'if' takes the true branch (does "goto out;"). Fix this and simplify the function by simple guard(mutex). The code needs no labels after this at all. And it is pretty clear that the code has not fiddled with pm_state at that point.

serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too

2024-08-07T11:13:35+00:00

Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part 3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);" call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the reason why we do not see lots of these reports. Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P. Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side and move this dereference to the if too. I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130. Thanks.

serial: core: check uartclk for zero to avoid divide by zero

2024-07-31T10:30:06+00:00

Calling ioctl TIOCSSERIAL with an invalid baud_base can result in uartclk being zero, which will result in a divide by zero error in uart_get_divisor(). The check for uartclk being zero in uart_set_info() needs to be done before other settings are made as subsequent calls to ioctl TIOCSSERIAL for the same port would be impacted if the uartclk check was done where uartclk gets set.

Let's add serial_base_match_and_update_preferred_console() for consoles using DEVNAME:0.0 style naming. The earlier approach to add it caused issues in the kernel command line ordering as we were calling __add_preferred_console() again for the deferred consoles.
