[ Upstream commit f58c252e30cf74f68b0054293adc03b5923b9f0e ]

When 8250 UART is using DMA, x_char (XON/XOFF) is never sent
to the wire. After this change, x_char is injected correctly.

Create uart_xchar_out() helper for sending the x_char out and
accounting related to it. It seems that almost every driver
does these same steps with x_char. Except for 8250, however,
almost all currently lack .serial_out so they cannot immediately
take advantage of this new helper.

The downside of this patch is that it might reintroduce
the problems some devices faced with mixed DMA/non-DMA transfer
which caused revert f967fc8f165f (Revert "serial: 8250_dma:
don't bother DMA with small transfers"). However, the impact
should be limited to cases with XON/XOFF (that didn't work
with DMA capable devices to begin with so this problem is not
very likely to cause a major issue, if any at all).

[ Upstream commit ab818c7aa7544bf8d2dd4bdf68878b17a02eb332 ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
A return of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown
kernel parameter and added to init's (limited) environment strings.
So return 1 from kgdboc_option_setup().

Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc7
  kgdboc=kbd kgdbts=", will be passed to user space.

 Run /sbin/init as init process
   with arguments:
     /sbin/init
   with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc7
     kgdboc=kbd
     kgdbts=

[ Upstream commit dedab69fd650ea74710b2e626e63fd35584ef773 ]

Set em485-&gt;active_timer = NULL isn't always enough to take out the stop
timer. While there is a check that it acts in the right state (i.e.
waiting for RTS-after-send to pass after sending some chars) but the
following might happen:

 - CPU1: some chars send, shifter becomes empty, stop tx timer armed
 - CPU0: more chars send before RTS-after-send expired
 - CPU0: shifter empty irq, port lock taken
 - CPU1: tx timer triggers, waits for port lock
 - CPU0: em485-&gt;active_timer = &amp;em485-&gt;stop_tx_timer, hrtimer_start(),
   releases lock()
 - CPU1: get lock, see em485-&gt;active_timer == &amp;em485-&gt;stop_tx_timer,
   tear down RTS too early

This fix bases on research done by Steffen Trumtrar.

[ Upstream commit a603ca60cebff8589882427a67f870ed946b3fc8 ]

Commit 54da3e381c2b ("serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: use UPF_IOREMAP to
set up register mapping") fixed a bug that had, as a side-effect,
prevented the 8250_aspeed_vuart driver from enabling the VUART's
FIFOs.  However, fixing that (and hence enabling the FIFOs) has in
turn revealed what appears to be a hardware bug in the ASPEED VUART in
which the host-side THRE bit doesn't get if the BMC-side receive FIFO
trigger level is set to anything but one byte.  This causes problems
for polled-mode writes from the host -- for example, Linux kernel
console writes proceed at a glacial pace (less than 100 bytes per
second) because the write path waits for a 10ms timeout to expire
after every character instead of being able to continue on to the next
character upon seeing THRE asserted.  (GRUB behaves similarly.)

As a workaround, introduce a new port type for the ASPEED VUART that's
identical to PORT_16550A as it had previously been using, but with
UART_FCR_R_TRIG_00 instead to set the receive FIFO trigger level to
one byte, which (experimentally) seems to avoid the problematic THRE
behavior.

Pull tty/serial driver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are some small n_gsm and sc16is7xx serial driver fixes for
  5.17-rc6.

  The n_gsm fixes are from Siemens as it seems they are using the line
  discipline and fixing up a number of issues they found in their
  testing. The sc16is7xx serial driver fix is for a reported problem
  with that chip.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported problems"

UART drivers are meant to use the port spinlock within certain
methods, to protect against reentrancy. The sc16is7xx driver does
very little locking, presumably because when added it triggers
"scheduling while atomic" errors. This is due to the use of mutexes
within the regmap abstraction layer, and the mutex implementation's
habit of sleeping the current thread while waiting for access.
Unfortunately this lack of interlocking can lead to corruption of
outbound data, which occurs when the buffer used for I2C transmission
is used simultaneously by two threads - a work queue thread running
sc16is7xx_tx_proc, and an IRQ thread in sc16is7xx_port_irq, both
of which can call sc16is7xx_handle_tx.

An earlier patch added efr_lock, a mutex that controls access to the
EFR register. This mutex is already claimed in the IRQ handler, and
all that is required is to claim the same mutex in sc16is7xx_tx_proc.

Pull parisc architecture fixes from Helge Deller:

 - Fix miscompilations when function calls are made from inside a
   put_user() call

 - Drop __init from map_pages() declaration to avoid random boot crashes

 - Added #error messages if a 64-bit compiler was used to build a 32-bit
   kernel (and vice versa)

 - Fix out-of-bound data TLB miss faults in sba_iommu and ccio-dma
   drivers

 - Add ioread64_lo_hi() and iowrite64_lo_hi() functions to avoid kernel
   test robot errors

 - Fix link failure when 8250_gsc driver is built without CONFIG_IOSAPIC

There is a build error when using a kernel .config file from
'kernel test robot' for a different build problem:

hppa64-linux-ld: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_gsc.o: in function `.LC3':
(.data.rel.ro+0x18): undefined reference to `iosapic_serial_irq'

when:
  CONFIG_GSC=y
  CONFIG_SERIO_GSCPS2=y
  CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_GSC=y
  CONFIG_PCI is not set
    and hence PCI_LBA is not set.
  IOSAPIC depends on PCI_LBA, so IOSAPIC is not set/enabled.

Make the use of iosapic_serial_irq() conditional to fix the build error.
