serial: of-serial: Remove device_type = "serial" registration

2015-05-13T12:15:41+00:00

commit 6befa9d883385c580369a2cc9e53fbf329771f6d upstream.

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

serial: 8250_dw: Fix deadlock in LCR workaround

2015-04-29T08:33:57+00:00

commit 7fd6f640f2dd17dac6ddd6702c378cb0bb9cfa11 upstream.

Trying to write console output from within the serial console driver
while the port->lock is held causes recursive deadlock:

  CPU 0
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
printk()
  console_unlock()
    call_console_drivers()
      serial8250_console_write()
        spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
** DEADLOCK **

The 8250_dw i/o accessors try to write a console error message if the
LCR workaround was unsuccessful. When the port->lock is already held
(eg., when called from serial8250_set_termios()), this deadlocks.

Make the error message a FIXME until a general solution is devised.

serial: samsung: wait for transfer completion before clock disable

2015-01-16T14:59:02+00:00

commit 1ff383a4c3eda8893ec61b02831826e1b1f46b41 upstream.

This patch adds waiting until transmit buffer and shifter will be empty
before clock disabling.

Without this fix it's possible to have clock disabled while data was
not transmited yet, which causes unproper state of TX line and problems
in following data transfers.

serial: Fix divide-by-zero fault in uart_get_divisor()

2014-11-14T16:47:58+00:00

commit 547039ec502076e60034eeb79611df3433a99b7d upstream.

uart_get_baud_rate() will return baud == 0 if the max rate is set
to the "magic" 38400 rate and the SPD_* flags are also specified.
On the first iteration, if the current baud rate is higher than the
max, the baud rate is clamped at the max (which in the degenerate
case is 38400). On the second iteration, the now-"magic" 38400 baud
rate selects the possibly higher alternate baud rate indicated by
the SPD_* flag. Since only two loop iterations are performed, the
loop is exited, a kernel WARNING is generated and a baud rate of
0 is returned.

Reproducible with:
 setserial /dev/ttyS0 spd_hi base_baud 38400

Only perform the "magic" 38400 -> SPD_* baud transform on the first
loop iteration, which prevents the degenerate case from recognizing
the clamped baud rate as the "magic" 38400 value.

serial: core: Preserve termios c_cflag for console resume

2014-09-05T23:28:35+00:00

commit ae84db9661cafc63d179e1d985a2c5b841ff0ac4 upstream.

When a tty is opened for the serial console, the termios c_cflag
settings are inherited from the console line settings.
However, if the tty is subsequently closed, the termios settings
are lost. This results in a garbled console if the console is later
suspended and resumed.

Preserve the termios c_cflag for the serial console when the tty
is shutdown; this reflects the most recent line settings.

sunsab: Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console

2014-08-14T01:24:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit fe418231b195c205701c0cc550a03f6c9758fd9e ]

Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console: BREAK detection was only
performed when there were also serial characters received simultaneously.
To handle all BREAKs correctly, the check for BREAK and the corresponding
call to uart_handle_break() must also be done if count == 0, therefore
duplicate this code fragment and pull it out of the loop over the received
characters.

Patch applies to 3.16-rc6.

serial: 8250_dw: Fix LCR workaround regression

2014-07-09T18:14:02+00:00

commit 6979f8d28049879e6147767d93ba6732c8bd94f4 upstream.

Commit c49436b657d0 (serial: 8250_dw: Improve unwritable LCR workaround)
caused a regression. It added a check that the LCR was written properly
to detect and workaround the busy quirk, but the behaviour of bit 5
(UART_LCR_SPAR) differs between IP versions 3.00a and 3.14c per the
docs. On older versions this caused the check to fail and it would
repeatedly force idle and rewrite the LCR register, causing delays and
preventing any input from serial being received.

This is fixed by masking out UART_LCR_SPAR before making the comparison.

serial: 8250_dw: Improve unwritable LCR workaround

2014-07-09T18:14:02+00:00

commit c49436b657d0a56a6ad90d14a7c3041add7cf64d upstream.

When configured with UART_16550_COMPATIBLE=NO or in versions prior to
the introduction of this option, the Designware UART will ignore writes
to the LCR if the UART is busy.  The current workaround saves a copy of
the last written LCR and re-writes it in the ISR for a special interrupt
that is raised when a write was ignored.

Unfortunately, interrupts are typically disabled prior to performing a
sequence of register writes that include the LCR so the point at which
the retry occurs is too late.  An example is serial8250_do_set_termios()
where an ignored LCR write results in the baud divisor not being set and
instead a garbage character is sent out the transmitter.

Furthermore, since serial_port_out() offers no way to indicate failure,
a serious effort must be made to ensure that the LCR is actually updated
before returning back to the caller.  This is difficult, however, as a
UART that was busy during the first attempt is likely to still be busy
when a subsequent attempt is made unless some extra action is taken.

This updated workaround reads back the LCR after each write to confirm
that the new value was accepted by the hardware.  Should the hardware
ignore a write, the TX/RX FIFOs are cleared and the receive buffer read
before attempting to rewrite the LCR out of the hope that doing so will
force the UART into an idle state.  While this may seem unnecessarily
aggressive, writes to the LCR are used to change the baud rate, parity,
stop bit, or data length so the data that may be lost is likely not
important.  Admittedly, this is far from ideal but it seems to be the
best that can be done given the hardware limitations.

Lastly, the revised workaround doesn't touch the LCR in the ISR, so it
avoids the possibility of a "serial8250: too much work for irq" lock up.
This problem is rare in real situations but can be reproduced easily by
wiring up two UARTs and running the following commands.

  # stty -F /dev/ttyS1 echo
  # stty -F /dev/ttyS2 echo
  # cat /dev/ttyS1 &
  [1] 375
  # echo asdf > /dev/ttyS1
  asdf
