commit d3b3404df318504ec084213ab1065b73f49b0f1d upstream.

Commit a6845e1e1b78 ("serial: core: Consider rs485 settings to drive
RTS") sought to deassert RTS when opening an rs485-enabled uart port.
That way, the transceiver does not occupy the bus until it transmits
data.

Unfortunately, the commit mixed up the logic and *asserted* RTS instead
of *deasserting* it:

The commit amended uart_port_dtr_rts(), which raises DTR and RTS when
opening an rs232 port.  "Raising" actually means lowering the signal
that's coming out of the uart, because an rs232 transceiver not only
changes a signal's voltage level, it also *inverts* the signal.  See
the simplified schematic in the MAX232 datasheet for an example:
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/max232.pdf

So, to raise RTS on an rs232 port, TIOCM_RTS is *set* in port-&gt;mctrl
and that results in the signal being driven low.

In contrast to rs232, the signal level for rs485 Transmit Enable is the
identity, not the inversion:  If the transceiver expects a "high" RTS
signal for Transmit Enable, the signal coming out of the uart must also
be high, so TIOCM_RTS must be *cleared* in port-&gt;mctrl.

The commit did the exact opposite, but it's easy to see why given the
confusing semantics of rs232 and rs485.  Fix it.

[ Upstream commit 93a770b7e16772530196674ffc79bb13fa927dc6 ]

struct uart_port contains a cached copy of the Modem Control signals.
It is used to skip register writes in uart_update_mctrl() if the new
signal state equals the old signal state.  It also avoids a register
read to obtain the current state of output signals.

When a uart_port is registered, uart_configure_port() changes signal
state but neglects to keep the cached copy in sync.  That may cause
a subsequent register write to be incorrectly skipped.  Fix it before
it trips somebody up.

This behavior has been present ever since the serial core was introduced
in 2002:
https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/33c0d1b0c3eb

So far it was never an issue because the cached copy is initialized to 0
by kzalloc() and when uart_configure_port() is executed, at most DTR has
been set by uart_set_options() or sunsu_console_setup().  Therefore,
a stable designation seems unnecessary.

[ Upstream commit 08a0c6dff91c965e39905cf200d22db989203ccb ]

pl010_set_termios() briefly resets the CR register to zero.

Where does this register write come from?

The PL010 driver's IRQ handler ambauart_int() originally modified the CR
register without holding the port spinlock.  ambauart_set_termios() also
modified that register.  To prevent concurrent read-modify-writes by the
IRQ handler and to prevent transmission while changing baudrate,
ambauart_set_termios() had to disable interrupts.  That is achieved by
writing zero to the CR register.

However in 2004 the PL010 driver was amended to acquire the port
spinlock in the IRQ handler, obviating the need to disable interrupts in
-&gt;set_termios():
https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/157c0342e591

That rendered the CR register write obsolete.  Drop it.

[ Upstream commit d1180405c7b5c7a1c6bde79d5fc24fe931430737 ]

With commit 3873e2d7f63a ("drivers: PL011: refactor pl011_probe()") the
function devm_ioremap() called from pl011_setup_port() was replaced with
devm_ioremap_resource(). Since this function not only remaps but also
requests the ports io memory region it now collides with the .config_port()
callback which requests the same region at uart port registration.

Since devm_ioremap_resource() already claims the memory successfully, the
request in .config_port() fails.

Later at uart port deregistration the attempt to release the unclaimed
memory also fails. The failure results in a “Trying to free nonexistent
resource" warning.

Fix these issues by removing the callbacks that implement the redundant
memory allocation/release. Also make sure that changing the drivers io
memory base address via TIOCSSERIAL is not allowed any more.

to do sanity checks and return errors if encountered. It's not the
case for the DMA controller drivers that this client is using

return a positive cookie at tx_submit() method. In case the controller
drivers will implement sanity checks and return errors, print a message
so that the client will be informed that something went wrong at

commit 00de977f9e0aa9760d9a79d1e41ff780f74e3424 upstream.

Commit 761ed4a94582 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close") converted serial core to use tty_port_close() but
failed to notice that the transmit buffer still needs to be freed on
final close.

Not freeing the transmit buffer means that the buffer is no longer
cleared on next open so that any ioctl() waiting for the buffer to drain
might wait indefinitely (e.g. on termios changes) or that stale data can
end up being transmitted in case tx is restarted.

Furthermore, the buffer of any port that has been opened would leak on
driver unbind.

Note that the port lock is held when clearing the buffer pointer due to
the ldisc race worked around by commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race
between uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()").

Also note that the tty-port shutdown() callback is not called for
console ports so it is not strictly necessary to free the buffer page
after releasing the lock (cf. d72402145ace ("tty/serial: do not free
trasnmit buffer page under port lock")).

commit ac442a077acf9a6bf1db4320ec0c3f303be092b3 upstream.

The document 'ACPI for Arm Components 1.0' defines the following
_HID mappings:
-'Prime cell UART (PL011)': ARMH0011
-'SBSA UART': ARMHB000

Use the sbsa-uart driver when a device is described with
the 'ARMHB000' _HID.

Note:
PL011 devices currently use the sbsa-uart driver instead of the
uart-pl011 driver. Indeed, PL011 devices are not bound to a clock
in ACPI. It is not possible to change their baudrate.

commit 7492ffc90fa126afb67d4392d56cb4134780194a upstream.

The CONSOLE_POLLING mode is used for tools like k(g)db. In this kind of
setup, it is often sharing a serial device with the normal system console.
This is usually no problem because the polling helpers can consume input
values directly (when in kgdb context) and the normal Linux handlers can
only consume new input values after kgdb switched back.

This is not true anymore when RX DMA is enabled for UARTDM controllers.
Single input values can no longer be received correctly. Instead following
seems to happen:

* on 1. input, some old input is read (continuously)
* on 2. input, two old inputs are read (continuously)
* on 3. input, three old input values are read (continuously)
* on 4. input, 4 previous inputs are received

This repeats then for each group of 4 input values.

This behavior changes slightly depending on what state the controller was
when the first input was received. But this makes working with kgdb
basically impossible because control messages are always corrupted when
kgdboc tries to parse them.

RX DMA should therefore be off when CONSOLE_POLLING is enabled to avoid
these kind of problems. No such problem was noticed for TX DMA.

[ Upstream commit 88b20f84f0fe47409342669caf3e58a3fc64c316 ]

xilinx_uartps .start_tx() clears TXEMPTY when enabling TXEMPTY to avoid
any previous TXEVENT event asserting the UART interrupt. This clear
operation is done immediately after filling the TX FIFO.

However, if the bytes inserted by cdns_uart_handle_tx() are consumed by
the UART before the TXEMPTY is cleared, the clear operation eats the new
TXEMPTY event as well, causing cdns_uart_isr() to never receive the
TXEMPTY event. If there are bytes still queued in circbuf, TX will get
stuck as they will never get transferred to FIFO (unless new bytes are
queued to circbuf in which case .start_tx() is called again).

While the racy missed TXEMPTY occurs fairly often with short data
sequences (e.g. write 1 byte), in those cases circbuf is usually empty
so no action on TXEMPTY would have been needed anyway. On the other
hand, longer data sequences make the race much more unlikely as UART
takes longer to consume the TX FIFO. Therefore it is rare for this race
to cause visible issues in general.

Fix the race by clearing the TXEMPTY bit in ISR *before* filling the
FIFO.

The TXEMPTY bit in ISR will only get asserted at the exact moment the
TX FIFO *becomes* empty, so clearing the bit before filling FIFO does
not cause an extra immediate assertion even if the FIFO is initially
empty.

This is hard to reproduce directly on a normal system, but inserting
e.g. udelay(200) after cdns_uart_handle_tx(port), setting 4000000 baud,
and then running "dd if=/dev/zero bs=128 of=/dev/ttyPS0 count=50"
reliably reproduces the issue on my ZynqMP test system unless this fix
is applied.
