2026-05-22serial: zs: Switch to using channel resetMaciej W. Rozycki2-4/+5
Switch the driver to using the channel reset rather than hardware reset, simplifying handling by removing an interference between channels that causes the other channel to become uninitialised afterwards. There is little difference between the two kinds of reset in terms of register settings that result, and we initialise the whole register set right away anyway. However this prevents a hang from happening should the console output handler in the firmware try to access the other port whose transmitter has been disabled and line parameters messed up. For example this will happen if the keyboard port (port A) is chosen for the system console, unusually but not insanely for a headless system, as the port is wired to a standard DA-15 connector and an adapter can be easily made. Or with the next change in place this would happen for the regular console port (port B), since the keyboard port (port A) will be initialised first. Just remove the unnecessary complication then, a channel reset is good enough. We still need the initialisation marker, now per channel rather than per SCC, as for the console port zs_reset() will be called twice: once early on via zs_serial_console_init() for the console setup only, and then again via zs_config_port() as the port is associated with a TTY device.

This will change with the next change to the driver, so fix zs_reset() such that line parameters are set for 9600n8 console operation as with the system firmware and the transmitter re-enabled after reset.

2026-05-22serial: dz: Fix bootconsole message clobbering at chip resetMaciej W. Rozycki1-0/+21
In the DZ interface as implemented by the DC7085 gate array the serial transmitters are double buffered, meaning that at the time a transmitter is ready to accept the next character there is one in the transmit shift register still being sent to the line. Issuing a master clear at this time causes this character to be lost, so wait an extra amount of time sufficient for the transmit shift register to drain at 9600bps, which is the baud rate setting used by the firmware console. Mind the specified 1.4us TRDY recovery time in the course and continue using iob() as the completion barrier, since the platforms involved use a write buffer that can delay and combine writes, and reorder them with respect to reads regardless of the MMIO locations accessed and we still lack a platform-independent handler for that. When called from dz_serial_console_init() this is too early for fsleep() to work and even before lpj has been calculated and therefore the delay is actually not sufficient for the transmitter to drain and is merely a placeholder now. This will be addressed in a follow-up change. Fixes: e6ee512f5a77 ("dz.c: Resource management") Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2026-05-22serial: 8250_dw: dispatch SysRq character in dw8250_handle_irq()Jacques Nilo1-1/+1
dw8250_handle_irq() calls serial8250_handle_irq_locked() with the port lock held via guard(uart_port_lock_irqsave). The guard destructor is plain uart_port_unlock_irqrestore(), so a SysRq character captured into port->sysrq_ch by uart_prepare_sysrq_char() is dropped without ever being dispatched to handle_sysrq(). This is the same regression pattern as in serial8250_handle_irq(), introduced when 883c5a2bc934 ("serial: 8250_dw: Rework dw8250_handle_irq() locking and IIR handling") moved the function to the guard()-based locking scheme without using the sysrq-aware unlock helper. Switch to guard(uart_port_lock_check_sysrq_irqsave) so that captured sysrq_ch is dispatched on scope exit, matching the fix in serial8250_handle_irq().

2026-05-22serial: 8250: dispatch SysRq character in serial8250_handle_irq()Jacques Nilo1-2/+5
serial8250_handle_irq() captures a SysRq character into port->sysrq_ch inside serial8250_handle_irq_locked() via uart_prepare_sysrq_char() (reached from serial8250_read_char()). Dispatch of that captured character to handle_sysrq() is expected to happen at port-unlock time, through uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq[_irqrestore](). After commit 8324a54f604d ("serial: 8250: Add serial8250_handle_irq_locked()") the function was reduced to a wrapper that takes the port lock via guard(uart_port_lock_irqsave) whose destructor is plain uart_port_unlock_irqrestore(). The sysrq-aware unlock helper is no longer called, so port->sysrq_ch is captured but never dispatched: BREAK + SysRq key is consumed silently. This was the very condition Johan Hovold's 853a9ae29e978 ("serial: 8250: fix handle_irq locking", 2021) introduced uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq_irqrestore() to address. Switch to the new guard(uart_port_lock_check_sysrq_irqsave), whose destructor is the sysrq-aware unlock helper, restoring the pre-split behaviour. Update the Context: comment on serial8250_handle_irq_locked() so future HW-specific 8250 wrappers know to use the same guard or the explicit sysrq-aware unlock. Verified on RTL8196E with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL=y: BREAK + 'h' on the console UART produces the SysRq help dump in dmesg and the brk counter in /proc/tty/driver/serial increments correctly.

2026-05-22tty: serial: samsung: Remove redundant port lock acquisition in rx helpersTudor Ambarus1-8/+0
Sashiko identified a deadlock when the console flow is engaged [1]. When console flow control is enabled (UPF_CONS_FLOW), s3c24xx_serial_stop_tx() calls s3c24xx_serial_rx_enable() and s3c24xx_serial_start_tx() calls s3c24xx_serial_rx_disable(). The serial core framework invokes the .stop_tx() and .start_tx() callbacks with the port->lock spinlock already held. Furthermore, all internal driver paths that invoke stop_tx (such as the DMA TX completion handler s3c24xx_serial_tx_dma_complete() or the PIO TX IRQ handler s3c24xx_serial_tx_irq()) also acquire port->lock prior to calling it. (Note that s3c24xx_serial_start_tx() is only invoked by the serial core). However, s3c24xx_serial_rx_enable() and s3c24xx_serial_rx_disable() unconditionally attempt to acquire port->lock again using uart_port_lock_irqsave(). Since spinlocks are not recursive, this causes a deadlock on the same CPU when console flow control is engaged. Remove the redundant lock acquisition from both rx helper functions.

2026-05-11serial: qcom_geni: fix kfifo underflow when flush precedes DMA completion IRQViken Dadhaniya1-1/+13
When uart_flush_buffer() runs before the DMA completion IRQ is delivered, the following race can occur (all steps serialized by uart_port_lock): 1. DMA starts: tx_remaining = N, kfifo contains N bytes 2. DMA completes in hardware; IRQ is pending but not yet delivered 3. uart_flush_buffer() acquires the port lock and calls kfifo_reset(), making kfifo_len() = 0 while tx_remaining remains N 4. uart_flush_buffer() releases the port lock 5. DMA IRQ fires; handle_tx_dma() acquires the port lock and calls uart_xmit_advance(uport, tx_remaining) on an empty kfifo uart_xmit_advance() increments kfifo->out by tx_remaining. Since kfifo_reset() already set both in and out to 0, out wraps past in, causing kfifo_len() to return UART_XMIT_SIZE - tx_remaining. The next start_tx_dma() call then submits a DMA transfer of stale buffer data. Fix this by snapshotting kfifo_len() at the start of handle_tx_dma() and skipping uart_xmit_advance() when fifo_len < tx_remaining, which indicates the kfifo was reset by a preceding flush.

2026-05-11serial: fsl_lpuart: fix rx buffer and DMA map leaks in start_rx_dmaShitalkumar Gandhi1-3/+12
lpuart_start_rx_dma() allocates sport->rx_ring.buf with kzalloc() and then maps a scatterlist via dma_map_sg(). On three subsequent error paths the function returns directly without releasing those resources: - when dma_map_sg() returns 0 (-EINVAL): ring->buf is leaked. - when dmaengine_slave_config() fails: ring->buf and the DMA mapping are leaked. - when dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic() returns NULL: ring->buf and the DMA mapping are leaked. The sole cleanup path, lpuart_dma_rx_free(), is only reached when lpuart_dma_rx_use is set, and the caller lpuart_rx_dma_startup() clears that flag on failure of lpuart_start_rx_dma(). So these resources are permanently leaked on every failure in this function. Repeated port open/close or termios changes under error conditions will slowly consume memory and leave stale streaming DMA mappings behind. Fix it by introducing two error labels that unmap the scatterlist and free the ring buffer as appropriate.

2026-03-12serial: 8250_dw: Ensure BUSY is deassertedIlpo Järvinen3-55/+161
DW UART cannot write to LCR, DLL, and DLH while BUSY is asserted. Existance of BUSY depends on uart_16550_compatible, if UART HW is configured with it those registers can always be written. There currently is dw8250_force_idle() which attempts to achieve non-BUSY state by disabling FIFO, however, the solution is unreliable when Rx keeps getting more and more characters. Create a sequence of operations that ensures UART cannot keep BUSY asserted indefinitely. The new sequence relies on enabling loopback mode temporarily to prevent incoming Rx characters keeping UART BUSY. Ensure no Tx in ongoing while the UART is switches into the loopback mode (requires exporting serial8250_fifo_wait_for_lsr_thre() and adding DMA Tx pause/resume functions). According to tests performed by Adriana Nicolae <adriana@arista.com>, simply disabling FIFO or clearing FIFOs only once does not always ensure BUSY is deasserted but up to two tries may be needed. This could be related to ongoing Rx of a character (a guess, not known for sure). Therefore, retry FIFO clearing a few times (retry limit 4 is arbitrary number but using, e.g., p->fifosize seems overly large). Tests performed by others did not exhibit similar challenge but it does not seem harmful to leave the FIFO clearing loop in place for all DW UARTs with BUSY functionality. Use the new dw8250_idle_enter/exit() to do divisor writes and LCR writes. In case of plain LCR writes, opportunistically try to update LCR first and only invoke dw8250_idle_enter() if the write did not succeed (it has been observed that in practice most LCR writes do succeed without complications). This issue was first reported by qianfan Zhao who put lots of debugging effort into understanding the solution space.

2026-03-12serial: 8250: Add late synchronize_irq() to shutdown to handle DW UART BUSYIlpo Järvinen1-0/+6
When DW UART is !uart_16550_compatible, it can indicate BUSY at any point (when under constant Rx pressure) unless a complex sequence of steps is performed. Any LCR write can run a foul with the condition that prevents writing LCR while the UART is BUSY, which triggers BUSY_DETECT interrupt that seems unmaskable using IER bits. Normal flow is that dw8250_handle_irq() handles BUSY_DETECT condition by reading USR register. This BUSY feature, however, breaks the assumptions made in serial8250_do_shutdown(), which runs synchronize_irq() after clearing IER and assumes no interrupts can occur after that point but then proceeds to update LCR, which on DW UART can trigger an interrupt. If serial8250_do_shutdown() releases the interrupt handler before the handler has run and processed the BUSY_DETECT condition by read the USR register, the IRQ is not deasserted resulting in interrupt storm that triggers "irq x: nobody cared" warning leading to disabling the IRQ. Add late synchronize_irq() into serial8250_do_shutdown() to ensure BUSY_DETECT from DW UART is handled before port's interrupt handler is released. Alternative would be to add DW UART specific shutdown function but it would mostly duplicate the generic code and the extra synchronize_irq() seems pretty harmless in serial8250_do_shutdown().

2026-03-12serial: 8250_dw: Rework IIR_NO_INT handling to stop interrupt stormIlpo Järvinen1-4/+63
INTC10EE UART can end up into an interrupt storm where it reports IIR_NO_INT (0x1). If the storm happens during active UART operation, it is promptly stopped by IIR value change due to Rx or Tx events. However, when there is no activity, either due to idle serial line or due to specific circumstances such as during shutdown that writes IER=0, there is nothing to stop the storm. During shutdown the storm is particularly problematic because serial8250_do_shutdown() calls synchronize_irq() that will hang in waiting for the storm to finish which never happens. This problem can also result in triggering a warning: irq 45: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [...snip...] handlers: serial8250_interrupt Disabling IRQ #45 Normal means to reset interrupt status by reading LSR, MSR, USR, or RX register do not result in the UART deasserting the IRQ. Add a quirk to INTC10EE UARTs to enable Tx interrupts if UART's Tx is currently empty and inactive. Rework IIR_NO_INT to keep track of the number of consecutive IIR_NO_INT, and on fourth one perform the quirk. Enabling Tx interrupts should change IIR value from IIR_NO_INT to IIR_THRI which has been observed to stop the storm.

dw8250_handle_irq() takes port's lock multiple times with no good reason to release it in between and calls serial8250_handle_irq() that also takes port's lock. Take port's lock only once in dw8250_handle_irq() and use serial8250_handle_irq_locked() to avoid releasing port's lock in between. As IIR_NO_INT check in serial8250_handle_irq() was outside of port's lock, it has to be done already in dw8250_handle_irq(). DW UART can, in addition to IIR_NO_INT, report BUSY_DETECT (0x7) which collided with the IIR_NO_INT (0x1) check in serial8250_handle_irq() (because & is used instead of ==) meaning that no other work is done by serial8250_handle_irq() during an BUSY_DETECT interrupt.

2026-03-12serial: uartlite: fix PM runtime usage count underflow on probeMaciej Andrzejewski ICEYE1-0/+1
ulite_probe() calls pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() at the end of probe without holding a corresponding PM runtime reference for non-console ports. During ulite_assign(), uart_add_one_port() triggers uart_configure_port() which calls ulite_pm() via uart_change_pm(). For non-console ports, the UART core performs a balanced get/put cycle: uart_change_pm(ON) -> ulite_pm() -> pm_runtime_get_sync() +1 uart_change_pm(OFF) -> ulite_pm() -> pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() -1 This leaves no spare reference for the pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() at the end of probe. The PM runtime core prevents the count from actually going below zero, and instead triggers a "Runtime PM usage count underflow!" warning. For console ports the bug is masked: the UART core skips the uart_change_pm(OFF) call, so the UART core's unbalanced get happens to pair with probe's trailing put. Add pm_runtime_get_noresume() before pm_runtime_enable() to take an explicit probe-owned reference that the trailing pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() can release. This ensures a correct usage count regardless of whether the port is a console.

2026-03-12tty: tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY bufferXin Zhao5-5/+5
On the embedded platform, certain critical data, such as IMU data, is transmitted through UART. The tty_flip_buffer_push() interface in the TTY layer uses system_dfl_wq to handle the flipping of the TTY buffer. Although the unbound workqueue can create new threads on demand and wake up the kworker thread on an idle CPU, it may be preempted by real-time tasks or other high-prio tasks. flush_to_ldisc() needs to wake up the relevant data handle thread. When executing __wake_up_common_lock(), it calls spin_lock_irqsave(), which does not disable preemption but disables migration in RT-Linux. This prevents the kworker thread from being migrated to other cores by CPU's balancing logic, resulting in long delays. The call trace is as follows: __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up ep_poll_callback __wake_up_common __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up n_tty_receive_buf_common n_tty_receive_buf2 tty_ldisc_receive_buf tty_port_default_receive_buf flush_to_ldisc In our system, the processing interval for each frame of IMU data transmitted via UART can experience significant jitter due to this issue. Instead of the expected 10 to 15 ms frame processing interval, we see spikes up to 30 to 35 ms. Moreover, in just one or two hours, there can be 2 to 3 occurrences of such high jitter, which is quite frequent. This jitter exceeds the software's tolerable limit of 20 ms. Introduce flip_wq in tty_port which can be set by tty_port_link_wq() or as default linked to default workqueue allocated when tty_register_driver(). The default workqueue is allocated with flag WQ_SYSFS, so that cpumask and nice can be set dynamically. The execution timing of tty_port_link_wq() is not clearly restricted. The newly added function tty_port_link_driver_wq() checks whether the flip_wq of the tty_port has already been assigned when linking the default tty_driver's workqueue to the port. After the user has set a custom workqueue for a certain tty_port using tty_port_link_wq(), the system will only use this custom workqueue, even if tty_driver does not have %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag. When tty_port register device, flip_wq link operation is done by tty_port_link_driver_wq(), but for in-memory devices the link operation cannot cover all the cases. Although tty_port_install() is dedicated for in-memory devices lik PTY to link port allocated on demand, the logic of tty_port_install() is so simple that people may not call it, vc_cons[0].d->port is one such case. We check the buf.flip_wq when flip TTY buffer, if buf.flip_wq of TTY port is NULL, use system_dfl_wq as a backup. To avoid naming conflict of the default tty_driver's workqueue, using '"%s-%s", driver->name, driver->driver_name' as the workqueue name. In cases where driver_name is not specified and therefore is NULL, the workqueue is not created. Drivers that do not define driver_name are potentially in-memory devices like vty, which generally do not require special workqueue settings. Even with the combination of name and driver_name, the workqueue names can still be duplicated, as many tty serial drivers use "ttyS" as dev_name and "serial" as driver_name. I modified the conflicting driver_name of these drivers by appending a suffix of _xx based on the corresponding .c file. If this modification is not made, it could not only lead to duplicate workqueue names but also result in duplicate entries for the /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name> nodes. Introduce %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag meaning not to create the default single tty_driver workqueue. Two reasons why need to introduce the %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag: 1. If the WQ_SYSFS parameter is enabled, workqueue_sysfs_register() will fail when trying to create a workqueue with the same name. The pty is an example of this; if both CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS and CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are enabled, the call to tty_register_driver() in unix98_pty_init() will fail. 2. Different TTY ports may be used for different tasks, which may require separate core binding control via workqueues. In this case, the workqueue created by default in the TTY driver is unnecessary. Enabling this flag prevents the creation of this redundant workqueue. After applying this patch, we can set the related UART TTY flip buffer workqueue by sysfs. We set the cpumask to CPU cores associated with the IMU tasks, and set the nice to -20. Testing has shown significant improvement in the previously described issue, with almost no stuttering occurring anymore.

2026-03-12serial: qcom-geni: Fix RTS behavior with flow controlAnup Kulkarni1-4/+15
When userspace enables flow control (CRTSCTS), the driver deasserts RTS even when the receive buffer has space. This prevents the peer device from transmitting, causing communication to stall. The root cause is that the driver unconditionally uses manual RTS control regardless of flow control mode. When CRTSCTS is set, the hardware should automatically manage RTS based on buffer status, but the driver overrides this by setting manual control. Fix this by introducing port->manual_flow flag. In set_termios(), disable manual flow when CRTSCTS is set. In set_mctrl(), only assert SE_UART_MANUAL_RFR when manual_flow is active. Verified by enabling and disabling hardware flow control with stty.

Some DMA controllers require transfer lengths to be aligned to a specific boundary. For example, the Tegra GPC DMA requires 4-byte (word) aligned transfers and will reject unaligned lengths. Align the TX DMA buffer length down to the DMA controller's copy_align boundary before submitting the transfer. Any remaining unaligned bytes will be transmitted via PIO on subsequent calls, which is the existing fallback behavior when DMA is not used.

2026-03-12serial: amba-pl011: Enable UART in earlycon setupPeter Maydell1-1/+30
Currently the PL011 driver only enables the UART (by setting UARTEN in REG_CR) in pl011_startup(), so if it is used for earlycon it is relying on the bootrom/firmware having left the UART enabled. There's no particular reason not to actively enable the UART before using it for earlycon, and the earlycon handling for e.g. the 8250 UART sets up the UART in its setup function, so follow that in the PL011. This allows use of earlycon with a UART that the firmware hasn't already been using for its own output, but the main motivation is that QEMU will otherwise log a message complaining that the guest is trying to write to a UART it never enabled.
