[ Upstream commit 05ead49691d245f67bdd1b30cab5d9af522ac884 ]

When CONFIG_PCI is not set, enabling CONFIG_CYZ_INTR has no
practical effect other than generating a warning about an
unused function:

drivers/tty/cyclades.c:1184:20: warning: 'cyz_interrupt' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
 static irqreturn_t cyz_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id)

This adds a dependency to avoid that warning.

[ Upstream commit e36ae3439936e13c33f5841c7c2c1a9875acbb6d ]

xencons_disconnect_backend() is only called from xen_console_remove(),
which is conditionally compiled, so we get a harmless warning when
CONFIG_HVC_XEN_FRONTEND is unset:

hvc/hvc_xen.c:350:12: error: 'xen_console_remove' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

This moves the function down into the same #ifdef section to silence
the warning.

[ Upstream commit 984cf355aeaa8f2eda3861b50d0e8d3e3f77e83b ]

Commit 984d74a72076a1 ("sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq") replaced
spin_lock_irqsave() calls with rcu_read_lock() calls in sysrq. Since
rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption, faulthandler_disabled() in
__do_page_fault() in x86/fault.c returns false. When the code later calls
might_sleep() in the pagefault handler, we get the following warning:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ../arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1187
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4706, name: bash
Preemption disabled at:[&lt;ffffffff81484339&gt;] printk+0x48/0x4a

To fix this, we release the RCU read lock before we crash.

Tested this patch on linux 3.18 by booting off one of our boards.

<title>n_tty: fix EXTPROC vs ICANON interaction with TIOCINQ (aka FIONREAD)</title>

[ Upstream commit 966031f340185eddd05affcf72b740549f056348 ]

We added support for EXTPROC back in 2010 in commit 26df6d13406d ("tty:
Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE") and the intent was to allow it to
override some (all?) ICANON behavior.  Quoting from that original commit
message:

         There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
         When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
         are disabled.  Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
         of signals are all disabled.  This allows the telnetd to turn
         off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
         what state the user wants the terminal to be in.

but the problem turns out that "several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled" is a bit ambiguous, and you can really confuse the n_tty
layer by setting EXTPROC and then causing some of the ICANON invariants
to no longer be maintained.

This fixes at least one such case (TIOCINQ) becoming unhappy because of
the confusion over whether ICANON really means ICANON when EXTPROC is set.

This basically makes TIOCINQ match the case of read: if EXTPROC is set,
we ignore ICANON.  Also, make sure to reset the ICANON state ie EXTPROC
changes, not just if ICANON changes.

When kernel configuration SMP,PREEMPT and DEBUG_PREEMPT are enabled,

echo p &gt;/proc/sysrq-trigger
kernel will print call trace as below:

This happens because when echo p &gt;/proc/sysrq-trigger,
get_irq_regs() is called outside of IRQ context,
if preemption is enabled in this situation,kernel will
print the call trace. Since many prior discussions on
the mailing lists have made it clear that get_irq_regs
either just returns NULL or stale data when used outside
of IRQ context,we simply avoid calling it outside of
IRQ context.

[ Upstream commit 3236a965486ba0c6043cf2c7b51943d8b382ae29 ]

This driver's -&gt;rs485_config callback checks if SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND
and SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND have the same value.  If they do, it means
the user has passed in invalid data with the TIOCSRS485 ioctl()
since RTS must have a different polarity when sending and when not
sending.  In this case, rs485 mode is not enabled (the RS485_URA bit
is not set in the RS485 Enable Register) and this is supposed to be
signaled back to the user by clearing the SER_RS485_ENABLED bit in
struct serial_rs485 ... except a missing tilde character is preventing
that from happening.

[ Upstream commit c130b666a9a711f985a0a44b58699ebe14bb7245 ]

Commit f209fa03fc9d ("serial: 8250_pci: Detach low-level driver during
PCI error recovery") introduces a potential use-after-free in case the
pciserial_init_ports call in serial8250_io_resume fails, which may
happen if a memory allocation fails or if the .init quirk failed for
whatever reason).  If this happen, further pci_get_drvdata will return a
pointer to freed memory.

This patch reworks the PCI recovery resume hook to restore the old priv
structure in this case, which should be ok, since the ports were already
detached. Such error during recovery causes us to give up on the
recovery.

[ Upstream commit f209fa03fc9d131b3108c2e4936181eabab87416 ]

During a PCI error recovery, like the ones provoked by EEH in the ppc64
platform, all IO to the device must be blocked while the recovery is
completed.  Current 8250_pci implementation only suspends the port
instead of detaching it, which doesn't prevent incoming accesses like
TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET calls from reaching the device.  Those end up
racing with the EEH recovery, crashing it.  Similar races were also
observed when opening the device and when shutting it down during
recovery.

This patch implements a more robust IO blockage for the 8250_pci
recovery by unregistering the port at the beginning of the procedure and
re-adding it afterwards.  Since the port is detached from the uart
layer, we can be sure that no request will make through to the device
during recovery.  This is similar to the solution used by the JSM serial
driver.

I thank Peter Hurley &lt;peter@hurleysoftware.com&gt; for valuable input on
this one over one year ago.

[ Upstream commit 82f2341c94d270421f383641b7cd670e474db56b ]

Currently N_HDLC line discipline uses a self-made singly linked list for
data buffers and has n_hdlc.tbuf pointer for buffer retransmitting after
an error.

The commit be10eb7589337e5defbe214dae038a53dd21add8
("tty: n_hdlc add buffer flushing") introduced racy access to n_hdlc.tbuf.
After tx error concurrent flush_tx_queue() and n_hdlc_send_frames() can put
one data buffer to tx_free_buf_list twice. That causes double free in
n_hdlc_release().

Let's use standard kernel linked list and get rid of n_hdlc.tbuf:
in case of tx error put current data buffer after the head of tx_buf_list.
