fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-28T13:38:39+00:00

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream.

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver().  After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-28T13:38:39+00:00

commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream.

Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.

This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)

2013-02-28T13:38:34+00:00

commit 2a2483072393b27f4336ab068a1f48ca19ff1c1e upstream.

When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the
current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds
the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus
the new font misrenders.

The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it
ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char
which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on
screen at boot and is quite ugly.

A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the
screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen
no longer corrupts.

v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we
are are going to or from 512 chars.

tty vt: fix character insertion overflow

2013-02-28T13:38:30+00:00

commit a883b70d8e0a88278c0a1f80753b4dc99962b541 upstream.

Commit 81732c3b2fed ("tty vt: Fix line garbage in virtual console on
command line edition") broke insert_char() in multiple ways.  Then
commit b1a925f44a3a ("tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition")
partially fixed it.  However, the buffer being moved is still too large
and overflowing beyond the end of the current line, corrupting existing
characters on the next line.

Example test case:

echo -e "abc\nde\x1b[A\x1b[4h \x1b[4l\x1b[B"

Expected result:

ab c
de

Current result:

ab c
 e

Needless to say that this is very annoying when inserting words in the
middle of paragraphs with certain text editors.

serial: imx: Fix recursive locking bug

2013-02-28T13:38:29+00:00

commit 677fe555cbfb188af58cce105f4dae9505e58c31 upstream.

commit 9ec1882df2 (tty: serial: imx: console write routing is unsafe
on SMP) introduced a recursive locking bug in imx_console_write().

The callchain is:

imx_rxint()
  spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags);
  ...
  uart_handle_sysrq_char();
    sysrq_function();
      printk();
        imx_console_write();
          spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags); <--- DEAD

The bad news is that the kernel debugging facilities can dectect the
problem, but the printks never surface on the serial console for
obvious reasons.

There is a similar issue with oops_in_progress. If the kernel crashes
we really don't want to be stuck on the lock and unable to tell what
happened.

In general most UP originated drivers miss these checks and nobody
ever notices because CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING seems to be still ignored by
a large number of developers.

The solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case and trylock in the
oops_in_progress case.

This scheme is used in other drivers as well and it would be nice if
we could move this to a common place, so the usual copy/paste/modify
bugs can be avoided.

Now there is another issue with this scheme:

CPU0 	    	     	 CPU1
printk()
			 rxint()
			   sysrq_detection() -> sets port->sysrq
			 return from interrupt
  console_write()
     if (port->sysrq)
     	avoid locking

port->sysrq is reset with the next receive character. So as long as
the port->sysrq is not reset and this can take an endless amount of
time if after the break no futher receive character follows, all
console writes happen unlocked.

While the current writer is protected against other console writers by
the console sem, it's unprotected against open/close or other
operations which fiddle with the port. That's what the above mentioned
commit tried to solve.

That's an issue in all drivers which use that scheme and unfortunately
there is no easy workaround. The only solution is to have a separate
indicator port->sysrq_cpu. uart_handle_sysrq_char() then sets it to
smp_processor_id() before calling into handle_sysrq() and resets it to
-1 after that. Then change the locking check to:

     if (port->sysrq_cpu == smp_processor_id())
     	 locked = 0;
     else if (oops_in_progress)
         locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);
     else
  	 spin_lock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);

That would force all other cpus into the spin_lock path. Problem
solved, but that's way beyond the scope of this fix and really wants
to be implemented in a common function which calls the uart specific
write function to avoid another gazillion of hard to debug
copy/paste/modify bugs.

tty: set_termios/set_termiox should not return -EINTR

2013-02-28T13:38:29+00:00

commit 183d95cdd834381c594d3aa801c1f9f9c0c54fa9 upstream.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907
read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out).

A simple test-case from Roman:

	// Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process.
	// EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set.

	void handler(int sig)
	{
	}

	main()
	{
	  struct sigaction act;
	  act.sa_handler = handler;
	  act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
	  sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0);
	  struct termio ttp;
	  ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp);
	  while(1)
	  {
	    if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0)
	      {
		if (errno == EINTR)
		{
		  fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1);
		}
	      }
	  }
	}

Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this
particular problem.

I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look
equally wrong.

tty: Prevent deadlock in n_gsm driver

2013-02-28T13:38:29+00:00

commit 4d9b109060f690f5c835130ff54165ae157b3087 upstream.

This change fixes a deadlock when the multiplexer is closed while there
are still client side ports open.

When the multiplexer is closed and there are active tty's it tries to
close them with tty_vhangup. This has a problem though, because
tty_vhangup needs the tty_lock. This patch changes it to unlock the
tty_lock before attempting the hangup and relocks afterwards. The
additional call to tty_port_tty_set is needed because otherwise the
port stays active because of the reference counter.

This change also exposed another problem that other code paths don't
expect that the multiplexer could have been closed. This patch also adds
checks for these cases in the gsmtty_ class of function that could be
called.

The documentation explicitly states that "first close all virtual ports
before closing the physical port" but we've found this to not always
reality in our field situations. The GPRS / UTMS modem sometimes crashes
and needs a power cycle in that case which means cleanly shutting down
everything is not always possible. This change makes it much more robust
for our situation where at least the system is recoverable with this patch
and doesn't hang in a deadlock situation inside the kernel.

The patch is against the long term support kernel (3.4.27) and should
apply cleanly to more recent branches. Tested with a Telit GE864-QUADV2
and Telit HE910 modem.

8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port

2013-01-17T22:02:55+00:00

Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable
NetXtreme chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725).

This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte
interrupt mode results in too many interrupts.  The UART_CAP_HFIFO
capability was added to track this.  It continues to reload the THR as long
as the THRE and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024
is used here).

pty: return EINVAL for TIOCGPTN for BSD ptys

2013-01-17T21:56:57+00:00

Commit bbb63c514a3464342967237a51a21ea8f61ab951 (drivers:tty:fix up
ENOIOCTLCMD error handling) changed the default return value from tty
ioctl to be ENOTTY and not EINVAL. This is appropriate.

But in case of TIOCGPTN for the old BSD ptys glibc started failing
because it expects EINVAL to be returned. Only then it continues to
obtain the pts name the other way around.

So fix this case by explicit return of EINVAL in this case.

serial:ifx6x60:Keep word size accordance with SPI controller

2013-01-16T05:35:04+00:00

As protocol driver, IFX SPI driver initiate to setup SPI master with default
SPI word size as 16 bit/word, however, SPI master may not adopt this default
value due to SPI controller's capability, it might choose an available value by
itself and set it to spi_device.bits_per_word. In order to keep align with
Controller, IFX driver should make use of this value during SPI transfer,
but the default one.
