Commit c49436b657d0 (serial: 8250_dw: Improve unwritable LCR workaround) caused a regression. It added a check that the LCR was written properly to detect and workaround the busy quirk, but the behaviour of bit 5 (UART_LCR_SPAR) differs between IP versions 3.00a and 3.14c per the docs. On older versions this caused the check to fail and it would repeatedly force idle and rewrite the LCR register, causing delays and preventing any input from serial being received. This is fixed by masking out UART_LCR_SPAR before making the comparison.

Commit c49436b657d0 (serial: 8250_dw: Improve unwritable LCR workaround)
caused a regression. It added a check that the LCR was written properly
to detect and workaround the busy quirk, but the behaviour of bit 5
(UART_LCR_SPAR) differs between IP versions 3.00a and 3.14c per the
docs. On older versions this caused the check to fail and it would
repeatedly force idle and rewrite the LCR register, causing delays and
preventing any input from serial being received.

This is fixed by masking out UART_LCR_SPAR before making the comparison.

When configured with UART_16550_COMPATIBLE=NO or in versions prior to the introduction of this option, the Designware UART will ignore writes to the LCR if the UART is busy. The current workaround saves a copy of the last written LCR and re-writes it in the ISR for a special interrupt that is raised when a write was ignored. Unfortunately, interrupts are typically disabled prior to performing a sequence of register writes that include the LCR so the point at which the retry occurs is too late. An example is serial8250_do_set_termios() where an ignored LCR write results in the baud divisor not being set and instead a garbage character is sent out the transmitter. Furthermore, since serial_port_out() offers no way to indicate failure, a serious effort must be made to ensure that the LCR is actually updated before returning back to the caller. This is difficult, however, as a UART that was busy during the first attempt is likely to still be busy when a subsequent attempt is made unless some extra action is taken. This updated workaround reads back the LCR after each write to confirm that the new value was accepted by the hardware. Should the hardware ignore a write, the TX/RX FIFOs are cleared and the receive buffer read before attempting to rewrite the LCR out of the hope that doing so will force the UART into an idle state. While this may seem unnecessarily aggressive, writes to the LCR are used to change the baud rate, parity, stop bit, or data length so the data that may be lost is likely not important. Admittedly, this is far from ideal but it seems to be the best that can be done given the hardware limitations. Lastly, the revised workaround doesn't touch the LCR in the ISR, so it avoids the possibility of a "serial8250: too much work for irq" lock up. This problem is rare in real situations but can be reproduced easily by wiring up two UARTs and running the following commands. # stty -F /dev/ttyS1 echo # stty -F /dev/ttyS2 echo # cat /dev/ttyS1 & [1] 375 # echo asdf > /dev/ttyS1 asdf [ 27.700000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.700000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.710000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.710000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.720000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.720000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.730000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.730000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 [ 27.740000] serial8250: too much work for irq96 Signed-off-by: Tim Kryger <tim.kryger@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Porter <matt.porter@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Markus Mayer <markus.mayer@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com> [wangnan: backport to 3.10.43: - adjust context - remove unneeded local var] Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

serial: 8250_dw: Report CTS asserted for auto flow 2014-07-09T18:14:02+00:00 Tim Kryger tim.kryger@linaro.org 2013-08-16T20:50:15+00:00 b1338609edcc468e0d7cdaa8d4d05f57e9fafe94 commit 33acbb82695f84e9429c1f7fbdeb4588dea12ffa upstream. When a serial port is configured for RTS/CTS flow control, serial core will disable the transmitter if it observes CTS is de-asserted. This is perfectly reasonable and appropriate when the UART lacks the ability to automatically perform CTS flow control. However, if the UART hardware can manage flow control automatically, it is important that software not get involved. When the DesignWare UART enables 16C750 style auto-RTS/CTS it stops generating interrupts for changes in CTS state so software mostly stays out of the way. However, it does report the true state of CTS in the MSR so software may notice it is de-asserted and respond by improperly disabling the transmitter. Once this happens the transmitter will be blocked forever. To avoid this situation, we simply lie to the 8250 and serial core by reporting that CTS is asserted whenever auto-RTS/CTS mode is enabled.

Tegra chips have 4 or 5 identical UART modules embedded. UARTs C..E have their MODEM-control signals tied off to a static state. However UARTs A and B can optionally route those signals to/from package pins, depending on the exact pinmux configuration. When these signals are not routed to package pins, false interrupts may trigger either temporarily, or permanently, all while not showing up in the IIR; it will read as NO_INT.

When this happens, the kernel may print e.g.: irq 68: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) In order to prevent this, enable UART_BUG_NOMSR. This prevents UART_IER_MSI from being enabled, which prevents the false interrupts from triggering. In practice, this is not needed under any of the following conditions: * On Tegra chips after Tegra30, since the HW bug has apparently been fixed. * On UARTs C..E since their MODEM control signals are tied to the correct static state which doesn't trigger the issue. * On UARTs A..B if the MODEM control signals are routed out to package pins, since they will then carry valid signals. However, we ignore these exceptions for now, since they are only relevant if a board actually hooks up more than a 4-wire UART, and no currently supported board does this. If we ever support a board that does, we can refine the algorithm that enables UART_BUG_NOMSR to take those exceptions into account, and/or read a flag from DT/... that indicates that the board has hooked up and pinmux'd more than a 4-wire UART.
