serial: 8250_fintek: Fix finding base_port with activated SuperIO

2017-11-24T07:37:04+00:00

commit fd97e66c5529046e989a0879c3bb58fddb592c71 upstream. The SuperIO will be configured at boot time by BIOS, but some BIOS will not deactivate the SuperIO when the end of configuration. It'll lead to mismatch for pdata->base_port in probe_setup_port(). So we'll deactivate all SuperIO before activate special base_port in fintek_8250_enter_key(). Tested on iBASE MI802.

serial: omap: Fix EFR write on RTS deassertion

2017-11-24T07:37:04+00:00

commit 2a71de2f7366fb1aec632116d0549ec56d6a3940 upstream. Commit 348f9bb31c56 ("serial: omap: Fix RTS handling") sought to enable auto RTS upon manual RTS assertion and disable it on deassertion. However it seems the latter was done incorrectly, it clears all bits in the Extended Features Register *except* auto RTS.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: fall back to N_NULL if switching to N_TTY fails during hangup

2017-10-13T23:18:33+00:00

We have seen NULL-pointer dereference crashes in tty->disc_data when the N_TTY fallback driver failed to open during hangup. The immediate cause of this open to fail has been addressed in the preceding patch to vmalloc(), but this code could be more robust. As Alan pointed out in commit 8a8dabf2dd68 ("tty: handle the case where we cannot restore a line discipline"), the N_TTY driver, historically the safe fallback that could never fail, can indeed fail, but the surrounding code is not prepared to handle this. To avoid crashes he added a new N_NULL driver to take N_TTY's place as the last resort. Hook that fallback up to the hangup path. Update tty_ldisc_reinit() to reflect the reality that n_tty_open can indeed fail.

The current driver register irq in .startup() and free the irq in .shutdown(), then user will see the NULL interrupt output from 'cat /proc/interrupts' after the uart port test completed: ... 41: 515 0 0 0 GICv3 257 Level fsl-lpuart 42: 2 0 0 0 GICv3 258 Level ... It is better to register all the irqs during probe function via devm_request_irq() to avoid to call free_irq(). Signed-off-by: Fugang Duan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: bcm63xx: fix timing issue.

2017-09-18T16:19:20+00:00

Issue where unprintable characters can occur or output is cut off over the serial uart / linux console depending on timing. Problem occurs when changing the serial baud rate when setting up the new console.The bcm63xx driver does a disable and flush of the uart tx fifo while there is data still in the tx fifo. If the tx fifo still has data it is trying to send out, we need to wait until it is empty before disabling and flushing the uart. When we now go to change the uart parameters including speed we check if there is data currently in the tx fifo.If there is was mdelay(10) and check again.If it tries 3 times and still has data in it we just continue and sacrifice the tx fifo buffer. A cleaner and more preferred approach would be to remove : - spin_lock_irqsave() - bcm_uart_disable() - bcm_uart_flush() However it is not clear if the author put those in to fix another underlying issue.As a result this solution is a safer approach. Output before the fix: [0.306000] 14e00520.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x14e00520 (irq = 9, base_baud = 1687500) is a° 0.315000] console[ttyS0] enabled Output verified after the fix: [0.315000] 14e00520.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x14e00520 (irq = 9, base_baud = 1687500) is a bcm63xx_uart [0.334000] console[ttyS0] enabled Signed-off-by: Russell Enderby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mxser: fix timeout calculation for low rates

2017-09-18T16:19:20+00:00

Paul reported, that low rates like B300 make the driver to hang in mxser_wait_until_sent. His debugging tackled the issue down to the info->timeout computation in mxser_set_baud. Obviously, ints are used there and they easily overflow with these low rates: B300 makes info->timeout to be -373. So switch all these types to unsigned as it ought to be. And use the u64 domain to perform the computation as in the worst case, we need 35 bits to store the computed value (before division). And use do_div not to break 32 bit kernels.
