<title>serial: 8250_dw: always set baud rate in dw8250_set_termios</title>

<content type='text'>
commit dfcab6ba573445c703235ab6c83758eec12d7f28 upstream.

dw8250_set_termios() doesn't set baud rate if the arg "old ktermios" is
NULL. This happens during resume.
Call Trace:
...
[   54.928108] dw8250_set_termios+0x162/0x170
[   54.928114] serial8250_set_termios+0x17/0x20
[   54.928117] uart_change_speed+0x64/0x160
[   54.928119] uart_resume_port
...

So the baud rate is not restored after S3 and breaks the apps who use
UART, for example, console and bluetooth etc.

We address this issue by setting the baud rate irrespective of arg
"old", just like the drivers for other 8250 IPs. This is tested with
Intel Broxton platform.

commit 47ac76662ca9c5852fd353093f19de3ae85f2e66 upstream.

8250: 8250_core: NXP SC16C2552 workaround

The above commit causes userland application to no longer write
correctly its first write to a dumb terminal connected to /dev/ttyS0.
This commit seems to be the culprit. It's as though the TX FIFO is being
reset during that write. What should be displayed is:

PSW 80000000 INST 00000000                           HALT
//

What is displayed is some variation of:

T 00000000           HAL//

Reverting this commit via this patch fixes my problem.

[ Upstream commit b6da31b2c07c46f2dcad1d86caa835227a16d9ff ]

Unlike normal serials, in pty layer, there is no guarantee that multiple
threads don't insert input characters at the same time. If it is happened,
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag can be executed concurrently. This can
lead slab out-of-bounds write in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag.

Call sequences are as follows.
CPU0                                    CPU1
n_tty_ioctl_helper                      n_tty_ioctl_helper
__start_tty                             tty_send_xchar
tty_wakeup                              pty_write
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup                       tty_insert_flip_string
n_hdlc_send_frames                      tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
pty_write
tty_insert_flip_string
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag

To fix the race, acquire port-&gt;lock in pty_write() before it inserts input
characters to tty buffer. It prevents multiple threads from inserting
input characters concurrently.

The crash log is as follows:

[ Upstream commit 447808bf500a7cc92173266a59f8a494e132b122 ]

time_init() will set up tb_ticks_per_usec based on reality.
time_init() is called *after* udbg_init_opal_common() during boot.

from arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c:
  unsigned long tb_ticks_per_usec = 100; /* sane default */

Currently, all powernv systems have a timebase frequency of 512mhz
(512000000/1000000 == 0x200) - although there's nothing written
down anywhere that I can find saying that we couldn't make that
different based on the requirements in the ISA.

So, we've been (accidentally) thwacking the (currently) correct
(for powernv at least) value for tb_ticks_per_usec earlier than
we otherwise would have.

The "sane default" seems to be adequate for our purposes between
udbg_init_opal_common() and time_init() being called, and if it isn't,
then we should probably be setting it somewhere that isn't hvc_opal.c!

commit ebec3f8f5271139df618ebdf8427e24ba102ba94 upstream.

syzbot is reporting stalls at __process_echoes() [1]. This is because
since ldata-&gt;echo_commit &lt; ldata-&gt;echo_tail becomes true for some reason,
the discard loop is serving as almost infinite loop. This patch tries to
avoid falling into ldata-&gt;echo_commit &lt; ldata-&gt;echo_tail situation by
making access to echo_* variables more carefully.

Since reset_buffer_flags() is called without output_lock held, it should
not touch echo_* variables. And omit a call to reset_buffer_flags() from
n_tty_open() by using vzalloc().

Since add_echo_byte() is called without output_lock held, it needs memory
barrier between storing into echo_buf[] and incrementing echo_head counter.
echo_buf() needs corresponding memory barrier before reading echo_buf[].
Lack of handling the possibility of not-yet-stored multi-byte operation
might be the reason of falling into ldata-&gt;echo_commit &lt; ldata-&gt;echo_tail
situation, for if I do WARN_ON(ldata-&gt;echo_commit == tail + 1) prior to
echo_buf(ldata, tail + 1), the WARN_ON() fires.

Also, explicitly masking with buffer for the former "while" loop, and
use ldata-&gt;echo_commit &gt; tail for the latter "while" loop.

commit 3d63b7e4ae0dc5e02d28ddd2fa1f945defc68d81 upstream.

syzbot is reporting stalls at n_tty_receive_char_special() [1]. This is
because comparison is not working as expected since ldata-&gt;read_head can
change at any moment. Mitigate this by explicitly masking with buffer size
when checking condition for "while" loops.

<title>serial: sh-sci: Use spin_{try}lock_irqsave instead of open coding version</title>

commit 8afb1d2c12163f77777f84616a8e9444d0050ebe upstream.

Commit 40f70c03e33a ("serial: sh-sci: add locking to console write
function to avoid SMP lockup") copied the strategy to avoid locking
problems in conjuncture with the console from the UART8250
driver. Instead using directly spin_{try}lock_irqsave(),
local_irq_save() followed by spin_{try}lock() was used. While this is
correct on mainline, for -rt it is a problem. spin_{try}lock() will
check if it is running in a valid context. Since the local_irq_save()
has already been executed, the context has changed and
spin_{try}lock() will complain. The reason why spin_{try}lock()
complains is that on -rt the spin locks are turned into mutexes and
therefore can sleep. Sleeping with interrupts disabled is not valid.

commit 8afb1d2c12163f77777f84616a8e9444d0050ebe upstream.

Commit 40f70c03e33a ("serial: sh-sci: add locking to console write
function to avoid SMP lockup") copied the strategy to avoid locking
problems in conjuncture with the console from the UART8250
driver. Instead using directly spin_{try}lock_irqsave(),
local_irq_save() followed by spin_{try}lock() was used. While this is
correct on mainline, for -rt it is a problem. spin_{try}lock() will
check if it is running in a valid context. Since the local_irq_save()
has already been executed, the context has changed and
spin_{try}lock() will complain. The reason why spin_{try}lock()
complains is that on -rt the spin locks are turned into mutexes and
therefore can sleep. Sleeping with interrupts disabled is not valid.

commit 4a7e625ce50412a7711efa0f2ef0b96ce3826759 upstream.

Commit 9b96fbacda34 ("serial: PL011: clear pending interrupts")
clears the RX and receive timeout interrupts on pl011 startup, to
avoid a screaming-interrupt scenario that can occur when the
firmware or bootloader leaves these interrupts asserted.

This has been noted as an issue when running Linux on qemu [1].

Unfortunately, the above fix seems to lead to potential
misbehaviour if the RX FIFO interrupt is asserted _non_ spuriously
on driver startup, if the RX FIFO is also already full to the
trigger level.

Clearing the RX FIFO interrupt does not change the FIFO fill level.
In this scenario, because the interrupt is now clear and because
the FIFO is already full to the trigger level, no new assertion of
the RX FIFO interrupt can occur unless the FIFO is drained back
below the trigger level.  This never occurs because the pl011
driver is waiting for an RX FIFO interrupt to tell it that there is
something to read, and does not read the FIFO at all until that
interrupt occurs.

Thus, simply clearing "spurious" interrupts on startup may be
misguided, since there is no way to be sure that the interrupts are
truly spurious, and things can go wrong if they are not.

This patch instead clears the interrupt condition by draining the
RX FIFO during UART startup, after clearing any potentially
spurious interrupt.  This should ensure that an interrupt will
definitely be asserted if the RX FIFO subsequently becomes
sufficiently full.

The drain is done at the point of enabling interrupts only.  This
means that it will occur any time the UART is newly opened through
the tty layer.  It will not apply to polled-mode use of the UART by
kgdboc: since that scenario cannot use interrupts by design, this
should not matter.  kgdboc will interact badly with "normal" use of
the UART in any case: this patch makes no attempt to paper over
such issues.

This patch does not attempt to address the case where the RX FIFO
fills faster than it can be drained: that is a pathological
hardware design problem that is beyond the scope of the driver to
work around.  As a failsafe, the number of poll iterations for
draining the FIFO is limited to twice the FIFO size.  This will
ensure that the kernel at least boots even if it is impossible to
drain the FIFO for some reason.
