commit ee0c1a65cf95230d5eb3d9de94fd2ead9a428c67 upstream.

The correct lock order is atomic_write_lock =&gt; termios_rwsem, as
established by tty_write() =&gt; n_tty_write().

commit 3e8137a185240fa6da0ff91cd9c604716371903b upstream.

Commit 0fd972a7d91d (module: relocate module_init from init.h to
module.h) broke the build of ttyFDC driver due to that driver's (mis)use
of module_mips_cdmm_driver() without first including module.h, for
example:

In file included from ./arch/mips/include/asm/cdmm.h +11 :0,
                 from drivers/tty/mips_ejtag_fdc.c +34 :
include/linux/device.h +1295 :1: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
./arch/mips/include/asm/cdmm.h +84 :2: note: in expansion of macro ‘module_driver’
drivers/tty/mips_ejtag_fdc.c +1157 :1: note: in expansion of macro ‘module_mips_cdmm_driver’
include/linux/device.h +1295 :1: error: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘module_init’ [-Werror=implicit-int]

drivers/tty/mips_ejtag_fdc.c +1157 :1: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration

Instead of just adding the module.h include, switch to using the new
builtin_mips_cdmm_driver() helper macro and drop the remove callback,
since it isn't needed. If module support is added later, the code can
always be resurrected.

commit f967fc8f165fadb72166f2bd4785094b3ca21307 upstream.

This reverts commit 9119fba0cfeda6d415c9f068df66838a104b87cb.

This commit prevents from sending "big" file using Bluetooth.
When sending a lot of data quickly through the Bluetooth interface, and
after a variable amount of data sent, transfer fails with error:
    kernel: [  415.247453] Bluetooth: hci0 hardware error 0x00

Found on T100TA.

After reverting this commit, send works fine for any file size.

<title>serial: atmel: fix error path of probe function</title>

commit 8f1bd8f2ad2358d6a88c115481ff3e69817d1bde upstream.

If atmel_init_gpios fails the port has already been marked as busy (in
line 2629), so this must be undone in the error path.

This bug was introduced because I created the patch that finally
became 722ccf416ac2 ("serial: atmel: fix error handling when
mctrl_gpio_init fails") on top of 3.19 which didn't have commit
6fbb9bdf0f3f ("tty/serial: at91: fix error handling in
atmel_serial_probe()") yet.

This adds an entry to the uart_config table for PORT_RT2880
enabling rx/tx FIFOs.  The UART is actually a Palmchip BK-3103
which is found in several devices from Alchemy/RMI, Ralink, and
Sigma Designs.

<id>82d8846c84a25a1607f6dd0b5782b76c77ab89bf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e81107d4c6bd098878af9796b24edc8d4a9524fd upstream.

My colleague ran into a program stall on a x86_64 server, where
n_tty_read() was waiting for data even if there was data in the buffer
in the pty.  kernel stack for the stuck process looks like below.
 #0 [ffff88303d107b58] __schedule at ffffffff815c4b20
 #1 [ffff88303d107bd0] schedule at ffffffff815c513e
 #2 [ffff88303d107bf0] schedule_timeout at ffffffff815c7818
 #3 [ffff88303d107ca0] wait_woken at ffffffff81096bd2
 #4 [ffff88303d107ce0] n_tty_read at ffffffff8136fa23
 #5 [ffff88303d107dd0] tty_read at ffffffff81368013
 #6 [ffff88303d107e20] __vfs_read at ffffffff811a3704
 #7 [ffff88303d107ec0] vfs_read at ffffffff811a3a57
 #8 [ffff88303d107f00] sys_read at ffffffff811a4306
 #9 [ffff88303d107f50] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath at ffffffff815c86d7

There seems to be two problems causing this issue.

First, in drivers/tty/n_tty.c, __receive_buf() stores the data and
updates ldata-&gt;commit_head using smp_store_release() and then checks
the wait queue using waitqueue_active().  However, since there is no
memory barrier, __receive_buf() could return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and at the same time, n_tty_read() could
start to wait in wait_woken() as in the following chart.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&amp;tty-&gt;read_wait))
/* Memory operations issued after the
   RELEASE may be completed before the
   RELEASE operation has completed */
                                        add_wait_queue(&amp;tty-&gt;read_wait, &amp;wait);
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
smp_store_release(&amp;ldata-&gt;commit_head,
                  ldata-&gt;read_head);
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&amp;wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second problem is that n_tty_read() also lacks a memory barrier
call and could also cause __receive_buf() to return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and n_tty_read() to wait in wait_woken()
as in the chart below.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;q-&gt;lock, flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
                                        /* Memory operations issued after the
                                           RELEASE may be completed before the
                                           RELEASE operation has completed */
smp_store_release(&amp;ldata-&gt;commit_head,
                  ldata-&gt;read_head);
if (waitqueue_active(&amp;tty-&gt;read_wait))
                                        __add_wait_queue(q, wait);
                                        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;q-&gt;lock,flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&amp;wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are also other places in drivers/tty/n_tty.c which have similar
calls to waitqueue_active(), so instead of adding many memory barrier
calls, this patch simply removes the call to waitqueue_active(),
leaving just wake_up*() behind.

This fixes both problems because, even though the memory access before
or after the spinlocks in both wake_up*() and add_wait_queue() can
sneak into the critical section, it cannot go past it and the critical
section assures that they will be serialized (please see "INTER-CPU
ACQUIRING BARRIER EFFECTS" in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt for a
better explanation).  Moreover, the resulting code is much simpler.

Latency measurement using a ping-pong test over a pty doesn't show any
visible performance drop.

commit e81107d4c6bd098878af9796b24edc8d4a9524fd upstream.

My colleague ran into a program stall on a x86_64 server, where
n_tty_read() was waiting for data even if there was data in the buffer
in the pty.  kernel stack for the stuck process looks like below.
 #0 [ffff88303d107b58] __schedule at ffffffff815c4b20
 #1 [ffff88303d107bd0] schedule at ffffffff815c513e
 #2 [ffff88303d107bf0] schedule_timeout at ffffffff815c7818
 #3 [ffff88303d107ca0] wait_woken at ffffffff81096bd2
 #4 [ffff88303d107ce0] n_tty_read at ffffffff8136fa23
 #5 [ffff88303d107dd0] tty_read at ffffffff81368013
 #6 [ffff88303d107e20] __vfs_read at ffffffff811a3704
 #7 [ffff88303d107ec0] vfs_read at ffffffff811a3a57
 #8 [ffff88303d107f00] sys_read at ffffffff811a4306
 #9 [ffff88303d107f50] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath at ffffffff815c86d7

There seems to be two problems causing this issue.

First, in drivers/tty/n_tty.c, __receive_buf() stores the data and
updates ldata-&gt;commit_head using smp_store_release() and then checks
the wait queue using waitqueue_active().  However, since there is no
memory barrier, __receive_buf() could return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and at the same time, n_tty_read() could
start to wait in wait_woken() as in the following chart.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&amp;tty-&gt;read_wait))
/* Memory operations issued after the
   RELEASE may be completed before the
   RELEASE operation has completed */
                                        add_wait_queue(&amp;tty-&gt;read_wait, &amp;wait);
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
smp_store_release(&amp;ldata-&gt;commit_head,
                  ldata-&gt;read_head);
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&amp;wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second problem is that n_tty_read() also lacks a memory barrier
call and could also cause __receive_buf() to return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and n_tty_read() to wait in wait_woken()
as in the chart below.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;q-&gt;lock, flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
                                        /* Memory operations issued after the
                                           RELEASE may be completed before the
                                           RELEASE operation has completed */
smp_store_release(&amp;ldata-&gt;commit_head,
                  ldata-&gt;read_head);
if (waitqueue_active(&amp;tty-&gt;read_wait))
                                        __add_wait_queue(q, wait);
                                        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;q-&gt;lock,flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&amp;wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);

commit 736cd79f483fd7a1e0b71e6eaddf01d8d87fbbbb upstream.

So far DMA mode were activated when only number of bytes to send was
equal or greater than min_dma_size. Due to requirement that DMA transaction
buffer should be aligned to cache line size, the excessive bytes were
written to FIFO before starting DMA transaction. The problem occurred
when FIFO size were smaller than cache alignment, because writing all
excessive bytes to FIFO would fail. It happened in DMA mode when PIO
interrupts disabled, which caused driver hung.

The solution is to test if buffer is alligned to cache line size before
activating DMA mode, and if it's not, running PIO mode to align buffer
and then starting DMA transaction. In PIO mode, when interrupts are
enabled, lack of space in FIFO isn't the problem, so buffer aligning
will always finish with success.

commit 81ccb2a69f76b88295a1da9fc9484df715fe3bfa upstream.

Due to some of serial ports can have FIFO size smaller than cache line
size, and because of need to align DMA buffer address to cache line size,
it's necessary to calculate minimum number of bytes for which we want
to start DMA transaction to be at least cache line size. The simplest
way to meet this requirement is to get maximum of cache line size and
FIFO size.
