serial: sh-sci: Remove cpufreq notifier to fix crash/deadlock

2016-04-30T22:05:26+00:00

commit ff1cab374ad98f4b9f408525ca9c08992b4ed784 upstream.

The BSP team noticed that there is spin/mutex lock issue on sh-sci when
CPUFREQ is used.  The issue is that the notifier function may call
mutex_lock() while the spinlock is held, which can lead to a BUG().
This may happen if CPUFREQ is changed while another CPU calls
clk_get_rate().

Taking the spinlock was added to the notifier function in commit
e552de2413edad1a ("sh-sci: add platform device private data"), to
protect the list of serial ports against modification during traversal.
At that time the Common Clock Framework didn't exist yet, and
clk_get_rate() just returned clk->rate without taking a mutex.
Note that since commit d535a2305facf9b4 ("serial: sh-sci: Require a
device per port mapping."), there's no longer a list of serial ports to
traverse, and taking the spinlock became superfluous.

To fix the issue, just remove the cpufreq notifier:
  1. The notifier doesn't work correctly: all it does is update the
     stored clock rate; it does not update the divider in the hardware.
     The divider will only be updated when calling sci_set_termios().
     I believe this was broken back in 2004, when the old
     drivers/char/sh-sci.c driver (where the notifier did update the
     divider) was replaced by drivers/serial/sh-sci.c (where the
     notifier just updated port->uartclk).
     Cfr. full-history-linux commits 6f8deaef2e9675d9 ("[PATCH] sh: port
     sh-sci driver to the new API") and 3f73fe878dc9210a ("[PATCH]
     Remove old sh-sci driver").
  2. On modern SoCs, the sh-sci parent clock rate is no longer related
     to the CPU clock rate anyway, so using a cpufreq notifier is
     futile.

8250: use callbacks to access UART_DLL/UART_DLM

2016-04-30T22:05:14+00:00

commit 0b41ce991052022c030fd868e03877700220b090 upstream.

Some UART HW has a single register combining UART_DLL/UART_DLM
(this was probably forgotten in the change that introduced the
callbacks, commit b32b19b8ffc05cbd3bf91c65e205f6a912ca15d9)

serial: 8250: bind to ALi Fast Infrared Controller (ALI5123)

2015-10-13T02:46:05+00:00

commit 1d7002777a8fe8188caaa98d4a8eb4ed298fcdae upstream.

This way this device can be used with irtty-sir -
at least on Toshiba Satellite A20-S103 it is not configured by default
and needs PNP activation before it starts to respond on I/O ports.

This device has actually its own driver (ali-ircc),
but this driver seems to be non-functional for a very long time

tty/serial: at91: RS485 mode: 0 is valid for delay_rts_after_send

2015-08-12T14:33:12+00:00

commit 8687634b7908c42eb700e0469e110e02833611d1 upstream.

In RS485 mode, we may want to set the delay_rts_after_send value to 0.
In the datasheet, the 0 value is said to "disable" the Transmitter Timeguard but
this is exactly the expected behavior if we want no delay...

Moreover, if the value was set to non-zero value by device-tree or earlier
ioctl command, it was impossible to change it back to zero.

serial: of-serial: Remove device_type = "serial" registration

2015-08-06T23:32:08+00:00

commit 6befa9d883385c580369a2cc9e53fbf329771f6d upstream.

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

serial: xilinx: Use platform_get_irq to get irq description structure

2015-08-06T23:32:07+00:00

commit 5c90c07b98c02198d9777a7c4f3047b0a94bf7ed upstream.

For systems with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM=y and device_type =
"serial"; property in DT of_serial.c driver maps and unmaps IRQ (because
driver probe fails). Then a driver is called but irq mapping is not
created that's why driver is failing again in again on request_irq().
Based on this use platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_resource()
which is doing irq_desc allocation and driver itself can request IRQ.

Fix both xilinx serial drivers in the tree.

serial: samsung: wait for transfer completion before clock disable

commit 1ff383a4c3eda8893ec61b02831826e1b1f46b41 upstream.

This patch adds waiting until transmit buffer and shifter will be empty
before clock disabling.

Without this fix it's possible to have clock disabled while data was
not transmited yet, which causes unproper state of TX line and problems
in following data transfers.

serial: Fix divide-by-zero fault in uart_get_divisor()

2014-12-14T16:23:55+00:00

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

sunsab: Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console

2014-09-13T22:41:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit fe418231b195c205701c0cc550a03f6c9758fd9e ]

Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console: BREAK detection was only
performed when there were also serial characters received simultaneously.
To handle all BREAKs correctly, the check for BREAK and the corresponding
call to uart_handle_break() must also be done if count == 0, therefore
duplicate this code fragment and pull it out of the loop over the received
characters.

Patch applies to 3.16-rc6.
