commit 827aa0d36d486f359808c8fb931cf7a71011a09d upstream.

This could have been either ARCH_S5P64X0 or CPU_S5P6450. Looking at
commit 2555e663b367b8d555e76023f4de3f6338c28d6c ("ARM: S5P64X0: Add UART
serial support for S5P6450") - which added this typo - makes clear this
should be CPU_S5P6450.

<title>Fix 4 port and add support for 8 port 'Unknown' PCI serial port cards</title>

commit d13402a4a944e72612a9ec5c9190e35717c02a9d upstream.

I've managed to find an 8 port version of the card 4 port card which was discussed here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-serial&amp;m=120760744205314&amp;w=2

Looking back at that thread there were two issues in the original patch.

1) The I/O ports for the UARTs are within BAR2 not BAR0. This can been seen in the original post.
2) A serial quirk isn't needed as these cards have no memory in BAR0 which makes pci_plx9050_init just return.

This patch fixes the 4 port support to use BAR2, removes the bogus quirk and adds support for the 8 port card.

commit 64325a3be08d364a62ee8f84b2cf86934bc2544a upstream.

  The root of problem is carelessly zeroing pointer(in function __tty_buffer_flush()),
when another thread can use it. It can be cause of "NULL pointer dereference".
  Main idea of the patch, this is never free last (struct tty_buffer) in the active buffer.
Only flush the data for ldisc(buf-&gt;head-&gt;read = buf-&gt;head-&gt;commit).
At that moment driver can collect(write) data in buffer without conflict.
It is repeat behavior of flush_to_ldisc(), only without feeding data to ldisc.

<title>8250: use correct value for PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE</title>

<id>025f690b5b6ed3978c46c55542ae15244f1bd61f</id>
<content type='text'>
When backporting commit ebebd49a8eab ('8250/16?50: Add support for
Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port') I took the next
available port type number for PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE (22).

However, the 8250 port type numbers are exposed to userland through
the TIOC{G,S}SERIAL ioctls and so must remain stable.  Redefine
PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE as 25, matching mainline as of commit
85f024401bf807.

This leaves port types 22-24 within the valid range for 8250 but not
implemented there.  Change serial8250_verify_port() to specifically
reject these and change serial8250_type() to return "unknown" for them
(though I'm not sure why it would ever see them).

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream.

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver().  After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.

commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream.

Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.

This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

<title>vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)</title>

commit 2a2483072393b27f4336ab068a1f48ca19ff1c1e upstream.

When we switch from 256-&gt;512 byte font rendering mode, it means the
current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds
the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus
the new font misrenders.

The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it
ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char
which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on
screen at boot and is quite ugly.

A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the
screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen
no longer corrupts.

v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we
are are going to or from 512 chars.

<title>tty: set_termios/set_termiox should not return -EINTR</title>

commit 183d95cdd834381c594d3aa801c1f9f9c0c54fa9 upstream.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907
read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out).

A simple test-case from Roman:

	// Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process.
	// EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set.

	void handler(int sig)
	{
	}

	main()
	{
	  struct sigaction act;
	  act.sa_handler = handler;
	  act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
	  sigaction (SIGCHLD, &amp;act, 0);
	  struct termio ttp;
	  ioctl(0, TCGETA, &amp;ttp);
	  while(1)
	  {
	    if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) &lt; 0)
	      {
		if (errno == EINTR)
		{
		  fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1);
		}
	      }
	  }
	}

Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this
particular problem.

I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look
equally wrong.
