commit f4817843e39ce78aace0195a57d4e8500a65a898 upstream.

There are two other drivers that bind to mrvl,mmp-uart and both of them
assume register shift of 2 bits. There are device trees that lack the
property and rely on that assumption.

If this driver wins the race to bind to those devices, it should behave
the same as the older deprecated driver.

commit 27cfb3a53be46a54ec5e0bd04e51995b74c90343 upstream.

Some tty line disciplines do not have a receive buf callback, so
properly check for that before calling it.  If they do not have this
callback, just eat the character quietly, as we can't fail this call.

commit fc01d8c61ce02c034e67378cd3e645734bc18c8c upstream.

Fix __might_sleep warning[1] in tty/n_hdlc.c read due to copy_to_user
call while current is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  This is a false positive
since the code path does not depend on current state remaining
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  The loop breaks out and sets TASK_RUNNING after
calling copy_to_user.

This patch supresses the warning by setting TASK_RUNNING before calling
copy_to_user.

<content type='text'>
commit aff9cf5955185d1f183227e46c5f8673fa483813 upstream.

We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ-&gt;buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state-&gt;xmit.

commit aff9cf5955185d1f183227e46c5f8673fa483813 upstream.

We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ-&gt;buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state-&gt;xmit.

<title>tty/ldsem: Wake up readers after timed out down_write()</title>

commit 231f8fd0cca078bd4396dd7e380db813ac5736e2 upstream.

ldsem_down_read() will sleep if there is pending writer in the queue.
If the writer times out, readers in the queue should be woken up,
otherwise they may miss a chance to acquire the semaphore until the last
active reader will do ldsem_up_read().

There was a couple of reports where there was one active reader and
other readers soft locked up:
  Showing all locks held in the system:
  2 locks held by khungtaskd/17:
   #0:  (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: watchdog+0x124/0x6d1
   #1:  (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: debug_show_all_locks+0x72/0x2d3
  2 locks held by askfirst/123:
   #0:  (&amp;tty-&gt;ldisc_sem){.+.+.+}, at: ldsem_down_read+0x46/0x58
   #1:  (&amp;ldata-&gt;atomic_read_lock){+.+...}, at: n_tty_read+0x115/0xbe4

Prevent readers wait for active readers to release ldisc semaphore.
