commit f1869a890cdedb92a3fab969db5d0fd982850273 upstream.

Tabs on a console with long lines do not wrap properly, so correctly
account for the line length when computing the tab placement location.

commit 7842055bfce4bf0170d0f61df8b2add8399697be upstream.

When the TTY buffers fill up to the configured maximum, a system lockup
occurs:

[  598.820128] INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

commit 28b0f8a6962a24ed21737578f3b1b07424635c9e upstream.

A tty is hung up by __tty_hangup() setting file-&gt;f_op to
hung_up_tty_fops, which is skipped on ttys whose write operation isn't
tty_write().  This means that, for example, /dev/console whose write
op is redirected_tty_write() is never actually marked hung up.

Because n_tty_read() uses the hung up status to decide whether to
abort the waiting readers, the lack of hung-up marking can lead to the
following scenario.

 1. A session contains two processes.  The leader and its child.  The
    child ignores SIGHUP.

 2. The leader exits and starts disassociating from the controlling
    terminal (/dev/console).

 3. __tty_hangup() skips setting f_op to hung_up_tty_fops.

 4. SIGHUP is delivered and ignored.

 5. tty_ldisc_hangup() is invoked.  It wakes up the waits which should
    clear the read lockers of tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 6. The reader wakes up but because tty_hung_up_p() is false, it
    doesn't abort and goes back to sleep while read-holding
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 7. The leader progresses to tty_ldisc_lock() in tty_ldisc_hangup()
    and is now stuck in D sleep indefinitely waiting for
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

The following is Alan's explanation on why some ttys aren't hung up.

 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171101170908.6ad08580@alans-desktop

 1. It broke the serial consoles because they would hang up and close
    down the hardware. With tty_port that *should* be fixable properly
    for any cases remaining.

 2. The console layer was (and still is) completely broken and doens't
    refcount properly. So if you turn on console hangups it breaks (as
    indeed does freeing consoles and half a dozen other things).

As neither can be fixed quickly, this patch works around the problem
by introducing a new flag, TTY_HUPPING, which is used solely to tell
n_tty_read() that hang-up is in progress for the console and the
readers should be aborted regardless of the hung-up status of the
device.

The following is a sample hung task warning caused by this issue.

<title>n_tty: fix EXTPROC vs ICANON interaction with TIOCINQ (aka FIONREAD)</title>

commit 966031f340185eddd05affcf72b740549f056348 upstream.

We added support for EXTPROC back in 2010 in commit 26df6d13406d ("tty:
Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE") and the intent was to allow it to
override some (all?) ICANON behavior.  Quoting from that original commit
message:

         There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
         When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
         are disabled.  Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
         of signals are all disabled.  This allows the telnetd to turn
         off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
         what state the user wants the terminal to be in.

but the problem turns out that "several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled" is a bit ambiguous, and you can really confuse the n_tty
layer by setting EXTPROC and then causing some of the ICANON invariants
to no longer be maintained.

This fixes at least one such case (TIOCINQ) becoming unhappy because of
the confusion over whether ICANON really means ICANON when EXTPROC is set.

This basically makes TIOCINQ match the case of read: if EXTPROC is set,
we ignore ICANON.  Also, make sure to reset the ICANON state ie EXTPROC
changes, not just if ICANON changes.

override some (all?) ICANON behavior.  Quoting from that original commit
message:

         There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
         When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
         are disabled.  Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
         of signals are all disabled.  This allows the telnetd to turn
         off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
         what state the user wants the terminal to be in.

but the problem turns out that "several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled" is a bit ambiguous, and you can really confuse the n_tty
layer by setting EXTPROC and then causing some of the ICANON invariants
to no longer be maintained.

This fixes at least one such case (TIOCINQ) becoming unhappy because of
the confusion over whether ICANON really means ICANON when EXTPROC is set.

This basically makes TIOCINQ match the case of read: if EXTPROC is set,
we ignore ICANON.  Also, make sure to reset the ICANON state ie EXTPROC
changes, not just if ICANON changes.

commit 6987dc8a70976561d22450b5858fc9767788cc1c upstream.

Only read access is checked before this call.

Actually, at the moment this is not an issue, as every in-tree arch does
the same manual checks for VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE, relying on the MMU
to tell them apart, but this wasn't the case in the past and may happen
again on some odd arch in the future.

If anyone cares about 3.7 and earlier, this is a security hole (untested)
on real 80386 CPUs.

commit 3c9101766b502a0163d1d437fada5801cf616be2 upstream.

This patch fixes an issue that kernel panic happens when DMA is enabled
and we press enter key while the kernel booting on the serial console.

* An interrupt may occur after sci_request_irq().
* DMA transfer area is initialized by setup_timer() in sci_request_dma()
  and used in interrupt.

If an interrupt occurred between sci_request_irq() and setup_timer() in
sci_request_dma(), DMA transfer area has not been initialized yet.
So, this patch changes the order of sci_request_irq() and
sci_request_dma().

commit a6040bc610554c66088fda3608ae5d6307c548e4 upstream.

The reference manual for the i.MX28 recommends to calculate the divisor
as

	divisor = (UARTCLK * 32) / baud rate, rounded to the nearest integer

, so let's do this. For a typical setup of UARTCLK = 24 MHz and baud
rate = 115200 this changes the divisor from 6666 to 6667 and so the
actual baud rate improves from 115211.521 Bd (error ≅ 0.01 %) to
115194.240 Bd (error ≅ 0.005 %).

commit df57cf6a879502cd6e5559c1f2d6db12128e074f upstream.

Currently mxs-auart doesn't care correctly about the baud rate divisor.
According to reference manual the baud rate divisor must be between
0x000000EC and 0x003FFFC0. So calculate the possible baud rate range
and use it for uart_get_baud_rate().

commit 1c9c858e2ff8ae8024a3d75d2ed080063af43754 upstream.

The MKS Instruments SCOM-0800 and SCOM-0801 cards (originally by Tenta
Technologies) are 3U CompactPCI serial cards with 4 and 8 serial ports,
respectively.  The first 4 ports are implemented by an OX16PCI954 chip,
and the second 4 ports are implemented by an OX16C954 chip on a local
bus, bridged by the second PCI function of the OX16PCI954.  The ports
are jumper-selectable as RS-232 and RS-422/485, and the UARTs use a
non-standard oscillator frequency of 20 MHz (base_baud = 1250000).
