[ Upstream commit 93a770b7e16772530196674ffc79bb13fa927dc6 ]

struct uart_port contains a cached copy of the Modem Control signals.
It is used to skip register writes in uart_update_mctrl() if the new
signal state equals the old signal state.  It also avoids a register
read to obtain the current state of output signals.

When a uart_port is registered, uart_configure_port() changes signal
state but neglects to keep the cached copy in sync.  That may cause
a subsequent register write to be incorrectly skipped.  Fix it before
it trips somebody up.

This behavior has been present ever since the serial core was introduced
in 2002:
https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/33c0d1b0c3eb

So far it was never an issue because the cached copy is initialized to 0
by kzalloc() and when uart_configure_port() is executed, at most DTR has
been set by uart_set_options() or sunsu_console_setup().  Therefore,
a stable designation seems unnecessary.

<title>serial: pl010: Drop CR register reset on set_termios</title>

[ Upstream commit 08a0c6dff91c965e39905cf200d22db989203ccb ]

pl010_set_termios() briefly resets the CR register to zero.

Where does this register write come from?

The PL010 driver's IRQ handler ambauart_int() originally modified the CR
register without holding the port spinlock.  ambauart_set_termios() also
modified that register.  To prevent concurrent read-modify-writes by the
IRQ handler and to prevent transmission while changing baudrate,
ambauart_set_termios() had to disable interrupts.  That is achieved by
writing zero to the CR register.

However in 2004 the PL010 driver was amended to acquire the port
spinlock in the IRQ handler, obviating the need to disable interrupts in
-&gt;set_termios():
https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/157c0342e591

That rendered the CR register write obsolete.  Drop it.

[ Upstream commit d1180405c7b5c7a1c6bde79d5fc24fe931430737 ]

With commit 3873e2d7f63a ("drivers: PL011: refactor pl011_probe()") the
function devm_ioremap() called from pl011_setup_port() was replaced with
devm_ioremap_resource(). Since this function not only remaps but also
requests the ports io memory region it now collides with the .config_port()
callback which requests the same region at uart port registration.

Since devm_ioremap_resource() already claims the memory successfully, the
request in .config_port() fails.

Later at uart port deregistration the attempt to release the unclaimed
memory also fails. The failure results in a “Trying to free nonexistent
resource" warning.

Fix these issues by removing the callbacks that implement the redundant
memory allocation/release. Also make sure that changing the drivers io
memory base address via TIOCSSERIAL is not allowed any more.

The tx_submit() method of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor is entitled
to do sanity checks and return errors if encountered. It's not the
case for the DMA controller drivers that this client is using
(at_h/xdmac), because they currently don't do sanity checks and always
return a positive cookie at tx_submit() method. In case the controller
drivers will implement sanity checks and return errors, print a message
so that the client will be informed that something went wrong at
tx_submit() level.

commit ac442a077acf9a6bf1db4320ec0c3f303be092b3 upstream.

The document 'ACPI for Arm Components 1.0' defines the following
_HID mappings:
-'Prime cell UART (PL011)': ARMH0011
-'SBSA UART': ARMHB000

Use the sbsa-uart driver when a device is described with
the 'ARMHB000' _HID.

Note:
PL011 devices currently use the sbsa-uart driver instead of the
uart-pl011 driver. Indeed, PL011 devices are not bound to a clock
in ACPI. It is not possible to change their baudrate.

commit 7492ffc90fa126afb67d4392d56cb4134780194a upstream.

The CONSOLE_POLLING mode is used for tools like k(g)db. In this kind of
setup, it is often sharing a serial device with the normal system console.
This is usually no problem because the polling helpers can consume input
values directly (when in kgdb context) and the normal Linux handlers can
only consume new input values after kgdb switched back.

This is not true anymore when RX DMA is enabled for UARTDM controllers.
Single input values can no longer be received correctly. Instead following
seems to happen:

* on 1. input, some old input is read (continuously)
* on 2. input, two old inputs are read (continuously)
* on 3. input, three old input values are read (continuously)
* on 4. input, 4 previous inputs are received

This repeats then for each group of 4 input values.

This behavior changes slightly depending on what state the controller was
when the first input was received. But this makes working with kgdb
basically impossible because control messages are always corrupted when
kgdboc tries to parse them.

RX DMA should therefore be off when CONSOLE_POLLING is enabled to avoid
these kind of problems. No such problem was noticed for TX DMA.

ACPI_PTR() is more harmful than helpful. For example, in this case
if CONFIG_ACPI=n, the ID table left unused which is not what we want.

Instead of adding ifdeffery here and there, drop ACPI_PTR().

[ Upstream commit ebabb77a2a115b6c5e68f7364b598310b5f61fb2 ]

ACPI_PTR() is more harmful than helpful. For example, in this case
if CONFIG_ACPI=n, the ID table left unused which is not what we want.

Instead of adding ifdeffery here and there, drop ACPI_PTR().

[ Upstream commit 3a96e97ab4e835078e6f27b7e1c0947814df3841 ]

The bar and offset parameters to setup_port() are used in pointer math,
and while it would be very difficult to get them to wrap as a negative
number, just be "safe" and make them unsigned so that static checkers do
not trip over them unintentionally.

<title>serial: 8250: Define RX trigger levels for OxSemi 950 devices</title>

[ Upstream commit d7aff291d069c4418285f3c8ee27b0ff67ce5998 ]

Oxford Semiconductor 950 serial port devices have a 128-byte FIFO and in
the enhanced (650) mode, which we select in `autoconfig_has_efr' with
the ECB bit set in the EFR register, they support the receive interrupt
trigger level selectable with FCR bits 7:6 from the set of 16, 32, 112,
120.  This applies to the original OX16C950 discrete UART[1] as well as
950 cores embedded into more complex devices.

For these devices we set the default to 112, which sets an excessively
high level of 112 or 7/8 of the FIFO capacity, unlike with other port
types where we choose at most 1/2 of their respective FIFO capacities.
Additionally we don't make the trigger level configurable.  Consequently
frequent input overruns happen with high bit rates where hardware flow
control cannot be used (e.g. terminal applications) even with otherwise
highly-performant systems.

Lower the default receive interrupt trigger level to 32 then, and make
it configurable.  Document the trigger levels along with other port
types, including the set of 16, 32, 64, 112 for the transmit interrupt
as well[2].
