commit e81107d4c6bd098878af9796b24edc8d4a9524fd upstream.

My colleague ran into a program stall on a x86_64 server, where
n_tty_read() was waiting for data even if there was data in the buffer
in the pty.  kernel stack for the stuck process looks like below.
 #0 [ffff88303d107b58] __schedule at ffffffff815c4b20
 #1 [ffff88303d107bd0] schedule at ffffffff815c513e

 #5 [ffff88303d107dd0] tty_read at ffffffff81368013
 #6 [ffff88303d107e20] __vfs_read at ffffffff811a3704
 #7 [ffff88303d107ec0] vfs_read at ffffffff811a3a57
 #8 [ffff88303d107f00] sys_read at ffffffff811a4306
 #9 [ffff88303d107f50] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath at ffffffff815c86d7

There seems to be two problems causing this issue.

First, in drivers/tty/n_tty.c, __receive_buf() stores the data and
updates ldata->commit_head using smp_store_release() and then checks
the wait queue using waitqueue_active().  However, since there is no
memory barrier, __receive_buf() could return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and at the same time, n_tty_read() could
start to wait in wait_woken() as in the following chart.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&tty->read_wait))
/* Memory operations issued after the
   RELEASE may be completed before the
   RELEASE operation has completed */
                                        add_wait_queue(&tty->read_wait, &wait);
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
smp_store_release(&ldata->commit_head,
                  ldata->read_head);
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second problem is that n_tty_read() also lacks a memory barrier
call and could also cause __receive_buf() to return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and n_tty_read() to wait in wait_woken()
as in the chart below.

        __receive_buf()                         n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        spin_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
                                        /* Memory operations issued after the
                                           RELEASE may be completed before the
                                           RELEASE operation has completed */
smp_store_release(&ldata->commit_head,
                  ldata->read_head);
if (waitqueue_active(&tty->read_wait))
                                        __add_wait_queue(q, wait);
                                        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock,flags);
                                        /* from add_wait_queue() */
                                        ...
                                        timeout = wait_woken(&wait,
                                          TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are also other places in drivers/tty/n_tty.c which have similar
calls to waitqueue_active(), so instead of adding many memory barrier
calls, this patch simply removes the call to waitqueue_active(),
leaving just wake_up*() behind.

This fixes both problems because, even though the memory access before
or after the spinlocks in both wake_up*() and add_wait_queue() can
sneak into the critical section, it cannot go past it and the critical
section assures that they will be serialized (please see "INTER-CPU
ACQUIRING BARRIER EFFECTS" in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt for a
better explanation).  Moreover, the resulting code is much simpler.

Latency measurement using a ping-pong test over a pty doesn't show any
visible performance drop.

serial: 8250_dw: Fix deadlock in LCR workaround

2015-11-14T17:58:27+00:00

commit 7fd6f640f2dd17dac6ddd6702c378cb0bb9cfa11 upstream.

Trying to write console output from within the serial console driver
while the port->lock is held causes recursive deadlock:

  CPU 0
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
printk()
  console_unlock()
    call_console_drivers()
      serial8250_console_write()
        spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock)
** DEADLOCK **

The 8250_dw i/o accessors try to write a console error message if the
LCR workaround was unsuccessful. When the port->lock is already held
(eg., when called from serial8250_set_termios()), this deadlocks.

Make the error message a FIXME until a general solution is devised.

serial: 8250_pci: Add support for 12 port Exar boards

commit be32c0cf0462c36f482b5ddcff1d8371be1e183c upstream.

The Exar XR17V358 can also be combined with a XR17V354 chip to act as a
single 12 port chip. This works the same way as the combining two XR17V358
chips. But the reported device id then is 0x4358.

serial: 8250_pci: Add support for 16 port Exar boards

2015-11-12T13:09:06+00:00

commit 96a5d18bc1338786fecac73599f1681f59a59a8e upstream.

The Exar XR17V358 chip usually provides only 8 ports. But two chips can be
combined to act as a single 16 port chip. Therefor one chip is configured
as master the second as slave by connecting the mode pin to VCC (master)
or GND (slave).

Then the master chip is reporting a different device-id depending on
whether a slave is detected or not. The UARTs 8-15 are addressed from
0x2000-0x3fff. So the offset of 0x400 from UART to UART can be used to
address all 16 ports as before.

tty/vt: don't set font mappings on vc not supporting this

commit 9e326f78713a4421fe11afc2ddeac07698fac131 upstream.

We can call this function for a dummy console that doesn't support
setting the font mapping, which will result in a null ptr BUG. So check
for this case and return error for consoles w/o font mapping support.

serial: imx: Fix DMA handling for IDLE condition aborts

2015-06-23T12:55:13+00:00

commit 392bceedb107a3dc1d4287e63d7670d08f702feb upstream.

The driver configures the IDLE condition to interrupt the SDMA engine.
Since the SDMA UART ROM script doesn't clear the IDLE bit itself, this
caused repeated 1-byte DMA transfers, regardless of available data in the
RX FIFO. Also, when returning due to the IDLE condition, the UART ROM
script already increased its counter, causing residue to be off by one.

This patch clears the IDLE condition to avoid repeated 1-byte DMA transfers
and decreases count by when the DMA transfer was aborted due to the IDLE
condition, fixing serial transfers using DMA on i.MX6Q.

xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip

2015-06-03T09:33:07+00:00

commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a upstream.

A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to.  This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock.  The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.

Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).
