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.

commit 1a48632ffed61352a7810ce089dc5a8bcd505a60 upstream.

A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO)
after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read.
For example,

       pty slave       |        input worker        |    pty master
                       |                            |
                       |                            |   n_tty_read()
pty_write()            |                            |     input avail? no
  add data             |                            |     sleep
  schedule worker  ---&gt;|                            |     .
                       |---&gt; flush_to_ldisc()       |     .
pty_close()            |       fill read buffer     |     .
  wait for worker      |       wakeup reader    ---&gt;|     .
                       |       read buffer full?    |---&gt; input avail ? yes
                       |&lt;---   yes - exit worker    |     copy 4096 bytes to user
  TTY_OTHER_CLOSED &lt;---|                            |&lt;--- kick worker
                       |                            |

		                **** New read() before worker starts ****

                       |                            |   n_tty_read()
                       |                            |     input avail? no
                       |                            |     TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes
                       |                            |     return -EIO

Several conditions are required to trigger this race:
1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits
2. the read() count parameter must be &gt;= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer
   is empty
3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed
   more input

However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while
tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not
yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end
are visible to the pty master end immediately.

Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader.
1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or
   input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when
   TTY_OTHER_DONE is set.
2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.
3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be
   set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to
   exit).

Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

<title>tty/n_gsm.c: fix a memory leak when gsmtty is removed</title>

commit 8f9cfeed3eae86c70d3b04445a6f2036b27b6304 upstream.

when gsmtty_remove put dlci, it will cause memory leak if dlci-&gt;port's refcount is zero.
So we do the cleanup work in .cleanup callback instead.

dlci will be last put in two call chains.
1) gsmld_close -&gt; gsm_cleanup_mux -&gt; gsm_dlci_release -&gt; dlci_put
2) gsmld_remove -&gt; dlci_put
so there is a race. the memory leak depends on the race.

In call chain 2. we hit the memory leak. below comment tells.

release_tty -&gt; tty_driver_remove_tty -&gt; gsmtty_remove -&gt; dlci_put -&gt; tty_port_destructor (WARN_ON(port-&gt;itty) and return directly)
                         |
                tty-&gt;port-&gt;itty = NULL;
                         |
                tty_kref_put ---&gt; release_one_tty -&gt; gsmtty_cleanup (added by our patch)

So our patch fix the memory leak by doing the cleanup work after tty core did.

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

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-&gt;lock.  The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.

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

  # cat /proc/interrupts | grep virq
   40:      87246          0  xen-percpu-virq      timer0
   44:          0          0  xen-percpu-virq      debug0

commit b9d934f27c91b878c4b2e64299d6e419a4022f8d upstream.

After a resume the hypervisor/tools may change console event
channel number. We should re-query it.

commit b9d934f27c91b878c4b2e64299d6e419a4022f8d upstream.

After a resume the hypervisor/tools may change console event
channel number. We should re-query it.

commit a8d4e01637902311c5643b69a5c80e2805f04054 upstream.

Maxburst was not set when doing the dma slave configuration. This value
is checked by the recently introduced xdmac. It causes an error when
doing the slave configuration and so prevents from using dma.

<title>serial: xilinx: Use platform_get_irq to get irq description structure</title>

commit 5c90c07b98c02198d9777a7c4f3047b0a94bf7ed upstream.

For systems with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM=y and device_type =
"serial"; property in DT of_serial.c driver maps and unmaps IRQ (because
driver probe fails). Then a driver is called but irq mapping is not
created that's why driver is failing again in again on request_irq().
Based on this use platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_resource()
which is doing irq_desc allocation and driver itself can request IRQ.

Fix both xilinx serial drivers in the tree.

commit 6befa9d883385c580369a2cc9e53fbf329771f6d upstream.

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

commit f01a0bd8921b9d6668d41fae3198970e6318f532 upstream.

Au1x00/RT2800+ doesn't implement the 8250 scratch register (and
this may be true of other h/w currently supported by the 8250 driver);
read back the canary value written to the scratch register to enable
the console h/w restart after resume from system suspend.
