commit fb2b90014d782d80d7ebf663e50f96d8c507a73c upstream.

There seems to be a race condition in tty drivers and I could see on
many boot cycles a NULL pointer dereference as tty_init_dev() tries to
do 'tty-&gt;port-&gt;itty = tty' even though tty-&gt;port is NULL.
'tty-&gt;port' will be set by the driver and if the driver has not yet done
it before we open the tty device we can get to this situation. By adding
some extra debug prints, I noticed that:

6.650130: uart_add_one_port
6.663849: register_console
6.664846: tty_open
6.674391: tty_init_dev
6.675456: tty_port_link_device

uart_add_one_port() registers the console, as soon as it registers, the
userspace tries to use it and that leads to tty_open() but
uart_add_one_port() has not yet done tty_port_link_device() and so
tty-&gt;port is not yet configured when control reaches tty_init_dev().

Further look into the code and tty_port_link_device() is done by
uart_add_one_port(). After registering the console uart_add_one_port()
will call tty_port_register_device_attr_serdev() and
tty_port_link_device() is called from this.

Call add tty_port_link_device() before uart_configure_port() is done and
add a check in tty_port_link_device() so that it only links the port if
it has not been done yet.

commit 4cdd17ba1dff20ffc99fdbd2e6f0201fc7fe67df upstream.

We need to compute the uart state only on the first open. This is
usually what is done in the -&gt;install hook. serial_core used to do this
in -&gt;open on every open. So move it to -&gt;install.

As a side effect, it ensures the state is set properly in the window
after tty_init_dev is called, but before uart_open. This fixes a bunch
of races between tty_open and flush_to_ldisc we were dealing with
recently.

One of such bugs was attempted to fix in commit fedb5760648a (serial:
fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open), but it only took care of
a couple of functions (uart_start and uart_unthrottle).  I was able to
reproduce the crash on a SLE system, but in uart_write_room which is
also called from flush_to_ldisc via process_echoes. I was *unable* to
reproduce the bug locally. It is due to having this patch in my queue
since 2012!

commit aff9cf5955185d1f183227e46c5f8673fa483813 upstream.

We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ-&gt;buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state-&gt;xmit.

for our build, this is crashing at:

    circ-&gt;buf[circ-&gt;head] = c;

Looking in uart_port_startup(), it seems that circ-&gt;buf (state-&gt;xmit.buf)
protected by the "per-port mutex", which based on uart_port_check() is
state-&gt;port.mutex. Indeed, the lock acquired in uart_put_char() is
uport-&gt;lock, i.e. not the same lock.

Anyway, since the lock is not acquired, if uart_shutdown() is called, the
last chunk of that function may release state-&gt;xmit.buf before its assigned
to null, and cause the race above.

To fix it, let's lock uport-&gt;lock when allocating/deallocating
state-&gt;xmit.buf in addition to the per-port mutex.

v2: switch to locking uport-&gt;lock on allocation/deallocation instead of
    locking the per-port mutex in uart_put_char. Note that since
    uport-&gt;lock is a spin lock, we have to switch the allocation to
    GFP_ATOMIC.
v3: move the allocation outside the lock, so we can switch back to
    GFP_KERNEL

for our build, this is crashing at:

    circ-&gt;buf[circ-&gt;head] = c;

Looking in uart_port_startup(), it seems that circ-&gt;buf (state-&gt;xmit.buf)
protected by the "per-port mutex", which based on uart_port_check() is
state-&gt;port.mutex. Indeed, the lock acquired in uart_put_char() is
uport-&gt;lock, i.e. not the same lock.

Anyway, since the lock is not acquired, if uart_shutdown() is called, the
last chunk of that function may release state-&gt;xmit.buf before its assigned
to null, and cause the race above.

To fix it, let's lock uport-&gt;lock when allocating/deallocating
state-&gt;xmit.buf in addition to the per-port mutex.

v2: switch to locking uport-&gt;lock on allocation/deallocation instead of
    locking the per-port mutex in uart_put_char. Note that since
    uport-&gt;lock is a spin lock, we have to switch the allocation to
    GFP_ATOMIC.
v3: move the allocation outside the lock, so we can switch back to
    GFP_KERNEL

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

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.

Fixes: Bugzilla #69751, 'serial console does not wake from S3'

8250 uart driver currently supports only software assisted hw flow
control. The software assisted hw flow control maintains a hw_stopped
flag in the tty structure to stop and start transmission and use modem
status interrupt for the event to drive the handshake signals. This is
not needed if hw has flow control capabilities. This patch adds a
DT attribute for enabling hw flow control for a uart port. Also skip
stop and start if this flag is present in flag field of the port
structure.

<title>serial_core: Commonalize crlf when working w/ a non open console port</title>

In (efe2f29 kgdboc,kdb: Allow kdb to work on a non open console port)
support was added to directly use the "write_char" functions when
doing kdb over a non-open console port.  This is great, but it ends up
bypassing the normal code in uart_console_write() that adds a carriage
return before any newlines.

There appears to have been a trend to add this support directly in
some console driver's poll_put_char() functions.  This had a few side
effects, including:
- In this case we were doing LFCR, not CRLF.  This was fixed in
  uart_console_write() back in (d358788 [SERIAL] kernel console should
  send CRLF not LFCR)
- Not all serial drivers had the LFCR code in their poll_put_char()
  functions.  In my case I was running serial/samsung.c which lacked
  it.

I've moved the handling to uart_poll_put_char() to fix the above
problems.  Now when I use kdb (and don't point console= to the same
UART) I no longer get:

[0]kdb&gt;
       [0]kdb&gt;
              [0]kdb&gt;
