commit 329e56780e514a7ab607bcb51a52ab0dc2669414 upstream.

Drivers are supposed to use the dev_* versions of the kfree_skb
interfaces. In a couple of cases we were called with IRQs
disabled as well which kfree_skb() does not expect.

Replaced kfree_skb calls w/ dev_kfree_skb and dev_kfree_skb_any

commit b4338e1efc339986cf6c0a3652906e914a86e2d3 upstream.

gsm_data_kick was recently modified to allow messages on the
tx queue bound for DLCI0 to flow even during FCOFF conditions.
Unfortunately we introduced a bug discovered by code inspection
where subsequent list traversers can access freed memory if
the DLCI0 messages were not all at the head of the list.

Replaced singly linked tx list w/ a list_head and used
provided interfaces for traversing and deleting members.

commit 10c6c383e43565c9c6ec07ff8eb2825f8091bdf0 upstream.

The design of uplink flow control in the mux driver is
that for constipated channels data will backup into the
per-channel fifos, and any messages that make it to the
outbound message queue will still go out.
Code was added to also stop messages that were in the outbound
queue but this requires filtering through all the messages on the
queue for stopped dlcis and changes some of the mux logic unneccessarily.

The message fiiltering was removed to be in line w/ the original design
as the message filtering does not provide any solution.
Extra debug messages used during investigation were also removed.

- Correcting handling of FCon/FCoff in order to respect 27.010 spec
- Consider FCon/off will overide all dlci flow control except for
  dlci0 as we must be able to send control frames.
- Dlci constipated handling according to FC, RTC and RTR values.
- Modifying gsm_dlci_data_kick and gsm_dlci_data_sweep according
  to dlci constipated value

commit 7be0670f7b9198382938a03ff3db7f47ef6b4780 upstream.

Remove the clock configuration from imx_setup_ufcr(). This
isn't needed here and will cause garbage output if done.

To be be sure that we only touch the bits we want (TXTL and RXTL)
we have to mask out all other bits of the UFCR register. Add
one non-existing bit macro for this, too (bit 6, DCEDTE on i.MX6).

<title>n_tty: Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode</title>

commit 4291086b1f081b869c6d79e5b7441633dc3ace00 upstream.

The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for
the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO &amp; !OPOST.  And since
it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like
tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when
concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two
writers:
* the ECHOing from a workqueue and
* pty_write from the process
race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows.

If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is:
  int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags);
  struct tty_buffer *tb = port-&gt;buf.tail;
  ...
  memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb-&gt;used), chars, space);
  ...
  tb-&gt;used += space;

so the race of the two can result in something like this:
              A                                B
__tty_buffer_request_room
                                  __tty_buffer_request_room
memcpy(buf(tb-&gt;used), ...)
tb-&gt;used += space;
                                  memcpy(buf(tb-&gt;used), ...) -&gt;BOOM

B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb-&gt;used
increment.

Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output
concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to
serialize echo output with normal tty writes.  This ensures the tty
buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and
everything is fine.

Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using
forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is
present in kernels at least after commit
d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc (pty: Rework the pty layer to
use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3.

commit 501fed45b7e8836ee9373f4d31e2d85e3db6103a upstream.

When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest,
hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV
and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel,
because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This
patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'.

commit f76a1cbed18c86e2d192455f0daebb48458965f3 upstream.

Commit 3e6c6f630a5282df8f3393a59f10eb9c56536d23 ("Delay creation of
khcvd thread") moved the call of hvc_init from being a device_initcall
into hvc_alloc, and used a non-null hvc_driver as indication of whether
hvc_init had already been called.

The problem with this is that hvc_driver is only assigned a value
at the bottom of hvc_init, and so there is a window where multiple
hvc_alloc calls can be in progress at the same time and hence try
and call hvc_init multiple times.  Previously the use of device_init
guaranteed that hvc_init was only called once.

This manifests itself as sporadic instances of two hvc_init calls
racing each other, and with the loser of the race getting -EBUSY
from tty_register_driver() and hence that virtual console fails:

    Couldn't register hvc console driver
    virtio-ports vport0p1: error -16 allocating hvc for port

Here we add an atomic_t to guarantee we'll never run hvc_init twice.

<title>tty: n_gsm: Fix for modems with brk in modem status control</title>

commit 3ac06b905655b3ef2fd2196bab36e4587e1e4e4f upstream.

3GPP TS 07.10 states in section 5.4.6.3.7:
"The length byte contains the value 2 or 3 ... depending on the break
signal." The break byte is optional and if it is sent, the length is
3. In fact the driver was not able to work with modems that send this
break byte in their modem status control message. If the modem just
sends the break byte if it is really set, then weird things might
happen.
The code for deconding the modem status to the internal linux
presentation in gsm_process_modem has already a big comment about
this 2 or 3 byte length thing and it is already able to decode the
brk, but the code calling the gsm_process_modem function in
gsm_control_modem does not encode it and hand it over the right way.
This patch fixes this.
Without this fix if the modem sends the brk byte in it's modem status
control message the driver will hang when opening a muxed channel.
