xen/console: Update console event channel on resume

2015-05-16T07:12:44+00:00

commit b9d934f27c91b878c4b2e64299d6e419a4022f8d upstream.

After a resume the hypervisor/tools may change console event
channel number. We should re-query it.

tty/serial: at91: maxburst was missing for dma transfers

2015-05-15T07:10:48+00:00

commit a8d4e01637902311c5643b69a5c80e2805f04054 upstream.

Maxburst was not set when doing the dma slave configuration. This value
is checked by the recently introduced xdmac. It causes an error when
doing the slave configuration and so prevents from using dma.

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

2015-05-15T07:10:47+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.

n_tty: Fix read buffer overwrite when no newline

2015-04-22T06:58:43+00:00

commit fb5ef9e7da39968fec6d6f37f20a23d23740c75e upstream.

In canon mode, the read buffer head will advance over the buffer tail
if the input > 4095 bytes without receiving a line termination char.

Discard additional input until a line termination is received.
Before evaluating for overflow, the 'room' value is normalized for
I_PARMRK and 1 byte is reserved for line termination (even in !icanon
mode, in case the mode is switched). The following table shows the
transform:

 actual buffer |  'room' value before overflow calc
  space avail  |    !I_PARMRK    |    I_PARMRK
 --------------------------------------------------
      0        |       -1        |       -1
      1        |        0        |        0
      2        |        1        |        0
      3        |        2        |        0
      4+       |        3        |        1

When !icanon or when icanon and the read buffer contains newlines,
normalized 'room' values of -1 and 0 are clamped to 0, and
'overflow' is 0, so read_head is not adjusted and the input i/o loop
exits (setting no_room if called from flush_to_ldisc()). No input
is discarded since the reader does have input available to read
which ensures forward progress.

When icanon and the read buffer does not contain newlines and the
normalized 'room' value is 0, then overflow and room are reset to 1,
so that the i/o loop will process the next input char normally
(except for parity errors which are ignored). Thus, erasures, signalling
chars, 7-bit mode, etc. will continue to be handled properly.

If the input char processed was not a line termination char, then
the canon_head index will not have advanced, so the normalized 'room'
value will now be -1 and 'overflow' will be set, which indicates the
read_head can safely be reset, effectively erasing the last char
processed.

If the input char processed was a line termination, then the
canon_head index will have advanced, so 'overflow' is cleared to 0,
the read_head is not reset, and 'room' is cleared to 0, which exits
the i/o loop (because the reader now have input available to read
which ensures forward progress).

Note that it is possible for a line termination to be received, and
for the reader to copy the line to the user buffer before the
input i/o loop is ready to process the next input char. This is
why the i/o loop recomputes the room/overflow state with every
input char while handling overflow.

Finally, if the input data was processed without receiving
a line termination (so that overflow is still set), the pty
driver must receive a write wakeup. A pty writer may be waiting
to write more data in n_tty_write() but without unthrottling
here that wakeup will not arrive, and forward progress will halt.
(Normally, the pty writer is woken when the reader reads data out
of the buffer and more space become available).

tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: clear receive flag on FIFO flush

2015-04-22T06:58:42+00:00

commit 8e4934c6d6c659e22b1b746af4196683e77ce6ca upstream.

When the receiver was enabled during startup, a character could
have been in the FIFO when the UART get initially used. The
driver configures the (receive) watermark level, and flushes the
FIFO. However, the receive flag (RDRF) could still be set at that
stage (as mentioned in the register description of UARTx_RWFIFO).
This leads to an interrupt which won't be handled properly in
interrupt mode: The receive interrupt function lpuart_rxint checks
the FIFO count, which is 0 at that point (due to the flush
during initialization). The problem does not manifest when using
DMA to receive characters.

Fix this situation by explicitly read the status register, which
leads to clearing of the RDRF flag. Due to the flush just after
the status flag read, a explicit data read is not to required.

tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take four

2015-03-12T16:31:21+00:00

commit f0bf0bd07943bfde8f5ac39a32664810a379c7d3 upstream.

This problem was taken care of three times already in
* b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e (TTY: do not update
  atime/mtime on read/write),
* 37b7f3c76595e23257f61bd80b223de8658617ee (TTY: fix atime/mtime
  regression), and
* b0b885657b6c8ef63a46bc9299b2a7715d19acde (tty: fix up atime/mtime
  mess, take three)

But it still misses one point. As John Paul correctly points out, we
do not care about setting date. If somebody ever changes wall
time backwards (by mistake for example), tty timestamps are never
updated until the original wall time passes.

So check the absolute difference of times and if it large than "8
seconds or so", always update the time. That means we will update
immediatelly when changing time. Ergo, CAP_SYS_TIME can foul the
check, but it was always that way.

Thanks John for serving me this so nicely debugged.

TTY: fix tty_wait_until_sent on 64-bit machines

2015-03-12T16:31:17+00:00

commit 79fbf4a550ed6a22e1ae1516113e6c7fa5d56a53 upstream.

Fix overflow bug in tty_wait_until_sent on 64-bit machines, where an
infinite timeout (0) would be passed to the underlying tty-driver's
wait_until_sent-operation as a negative timeout (-1), causing it to
return immediately.

This manifests itself for example as tcdrain() returning immediately,
drivers not honouring the drain flags when setting terminal attributes,
or even dropped data on close as a requested infinite closing-wait
timeout would be ignored.

The first symptom  was reported by Asier LLANO who noted that tcdrain()
returned prematurely when using the ftdi_sio usb-serial driver.

Fix this by passing 0 rather than MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT (LONG_MAX) to the
underlying tty driver.

Note that the serial-core wait_until_sent-implementation is not affected
by this bug due to a lucky chance (comparison to an unsigned maximum
timeout), and neither is the cyclades one that had an explicit check for
negative timeouts, but all other tty drivers appear to be affected.

vt: provide notifications on selection changes

commit 19e3ae6b4f07a87822c1c9e7ed99d31860e701af upstream.

The vcs device's poll/fasync support relies on the vt notifier to signal
changes to the screen content.  Notifier invocations were missing for
changes that comes through the selection interface though.  Fix that.

Tested with BRLTTY 5.2.
