serial: 8250: fix panic due to PSLVERR

2025-08-28T14:21:30+00:00

commit 7f8fdd4dbffc05982b96caf586f77a014b2a9353 upstream.

When the PSLVERR_RESP_EN parameter is set to 1, the device generates
an error response if an attempt is made to read an empty RBR (Receive
Buffer Register) while the FIFO is enabled.

In serial8250_do_startup(), calling serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR,
UART_LCR_WLEN8) triggers dw8250_check_lcr(), which invokes
dw8250_force_idle() and serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos(). The latter
function enables the FIFO via serial_out(p, UART_FCR, p->fcr).
Execution proceeds to the serial_port_in(port, UART_RX).
This satisfies the PSLVERR trigger condition.

When another CPU (e.g., using printk()) is accessing the UART (UART
is busy), the current CPU fails the check (value & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) ==
(lcr & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) in dw8250_check_lcr(), causing it to enter
dw8250_force_idle().

Put serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR, UART_LCR_WLEN8) under the port->lock
to fix this issue.

pch_uart: Fix dma_sync_sg_for_device() nents value

2025-08-28T14:21:14+00:00

commit 6c0e9f05c9d7875995b0e92ace71be947f280bbd upstream.

The dma_sync_sg_for_device() functions should be called with the same
nents as the dma_map_sg(), not the value the map function returned
according to the documentation in Documentation/core-api/dma-api.rst:450:
	With the sync_sg API, all the parameters must be the same
	as those passed into the sg mapping API.

tty: serial: uartlite: register uart driver in init

2025-07-17T16:24:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6bd697b5fc39fd24e2aa418c7b7d14469f550a93 ]

When two instances of uart devices are probing, a concurrency race can
occur. If one thread calls uart_register_driver function, which first
allocates and assigns memory to 'uart_state' member of uart_driver
structure, the other instance can bypass uart driver registration and
call ulite_assign. This calls uart_add_one_port, which expects the uart
driver to be fully initialized. This leads to a kernel panic due to a
null pointer dereference:

To prevent it, move uart driver registration in to init function. This
will ensure that uart_driver is always registered when probe function
is called.

serial: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in mlb_usio_probe()

[ Upstream commit 86bcae88c9209e334b2f8c252f4cc66beb261886 ]

devm_ioremap() can return NULL on error. Currently, mlb_usio_probe()
does not check for this case, which could result in a NULL pointer
dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_ioremap() to prevent this issue.

serial: sifive: lock port in startup()/shutdown() callbacks

2025-05-02T05:39:26+00:00

commit e1ca3ff28ab1e2c1e70713ef3fa7943c725742c3 upstream.

startup()/shutdown() callbacks access SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS.
The register is also accessed from write() callback.

If console were printing and startup()/shutdown() callback
gets called, its access to the register could be overwritten.

Add port->lock to startup()/shutdown() callbacks to make sure
their access to SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS is synchronized against
write() callback.

serial: 8250: Fix fifo underflow on flush

2025-03-13T11:43:16+00:00

commit 9e512eaaf8f4008c44ede3dfc0fbc9d9c5118583 upstream.

When flushing the serial port's buffer, uart_flush_buffer() calls
kfifo_reset() but if there is an outstanding DMA transfer then the
completion function will consume data from the kfifo via
uart_xmit_advance(), underflowing and leading to ongoing DMA as the
driver tries to transmit another 2^32 bytes.

This is readily reproduced with serial-generic and amidi sending even
short messages as closing the device on exit will wait for the fifo to
drain and in the underflow case amidi hangs for 30 seconds on exit in
tty_wait_until_sent().  A trace of that gives:

     kworker/1:1-84    [001]    51.769423: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=3 fifo_len=3

 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.793131: bprint:               __dma_tx_complete: tx_size=4096
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.793135: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=4096 fifo_len=4294959101

Since the port lock is held in when the kfifo is reset in
uart_flush_buffer() and in __dma_tx_complete(), adding a flush_buffer
hook to adjust the outstanding DMA byte count is sufficient to avoid the
kfifo underflow.

serial: sh-sci: Do not probe the serial port if its slot in sci_ports[] is in use

2025-03-13T11:43:09+00:00

commit 9f7dea875cc7f9c1a56a5c688290634a59cd1420 upstream.

In the sh-sci driver, sci_ports[0] is used by earlycon. If the earlycon is
still active when sci_probe() is called and the new serial port is supposed
to map to sci_ports[0], return -EBUSY to prevent breaking the earlycon.

This situation should occurs in debug scenarios, and users should be
aware of the potential conflict.
