serial: samsung: Continue to work if DMA request fails

2017-03-18T11:18:43+00:00

commit f98c7bce570bdbe344b74ff5daa7dfeef3f22929 upstream.

If DMA is not available (even when configured in DeviceTree), the driver
will fail the startup procedure thus making serial console not
available.

For example this causes boot failure on QEMU ARMv7 (Exynos4210, SMDKC210):
    [    1.302575] OF: amba_device_add() failed (-19) for /amba/pdma@12680000
    ...
    [   11.435732] samsung-uart 13800000.serial: DMA request failed
    [   72.963893] samsung-uart 13800000.serial: DMA request failed
    [   73.143361] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000

DMA is not necessary for serial to work, so continue with UART startup
after emitting a warning.

serial: 8250_pci: Add MKS Tenta SCOM-0800 and SCOM-0801 cards

2017-03-15T02:20:05+00:00

commit 1c9c858e2ff8ae8024a3d75d2ed080063af43754 upstream.

The MKS Instruments SCOM-0800 and SCOM-0801 cards (originally by Tenta
Technologies) are 3U CompactPCI serial cards with 4 and 8 serial ports,
respectively.  The first 4 ports are implemented by an OX16PCI954 chip,
and the second 4 ports are implemented by an OX16C954 chip on a local
bus, bridged by the second PCI function of the OX16PCI954.  The ports
are jumper-selectable as RS-232 and RS-422/485, and the UARTs use a
non-standard oscillator frequency of 20 MHz (base_baud = 1250000).

tty: n_hdlc: get rid of racy n_hdlc.tbuf

2017-03-15T02:20:05+00:00

commit 82f2341c94d270421f383641b7cd670e474db56b upstream.

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.

tty: serial: msm: Fix module autoload

2017-02-26T10:09:18+00:00

commit abe81f3b8ed2996e1712d26d38ff6b73f582c616 upstream.

If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.

Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.ko | grep alias
$

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.ko | grep alias
alias:          of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartdmC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartdm

sysrq: attach sysrq handler correctly for 32-bit kernel

2017-01-11T08:22:54+00:00

The sysrq input handler should be attached to the input device which has
a left alt key.

On 32-bit kernels, some input devices which has a left alt key cannot
attach sysrq handler.  Because the keybit bitmap in struct input_device_id
for sysrq is not correctly initialized.  KEY_LEFTALT is 56 which is
greater than BITS_PER_LONG on 32-bit kernels.

I found this problem when using a matrix keypad device which defines
a KEY_LEFTALT (56) but doesn't have a KEY_O (24 == 56%32).

Revert "tty: serial: 8250: add CON_CONSDEV to flags"

2017-01-11T07:35:17+00:00

This commit needs to be reverted because it prevents people from
using the serial console as a secondary console with input being
directed to tty0.

IOW, if you boot with console=ttyS0 console=tty0 then all kernels
prior to this commit will produce output on both ttyS0 and tty0
but input will only be taken from tty0.  With this patch the serial
console will always be the primary console instead of tty0,
potentially preventing people from getting into their machines in
emergency situations.

Clearing FIFOs in RS485 emulation mode causes subsequent transmits to break

2017-01-11T07:35:17+00:00

When in RS485 emulation mode, __do_stop_tx_rs485() calls
serial8250_clear_fifos().  This not only clears the FIFOs, but also sets
all bits in their control register (UART_FCR) to 0.

One of the effects of this is the disabling of the FIFOs, which turns
them into single-byte holding registers.  The rest of the driver doesn't
know this, which results in the lions share of characters passed into a
write call to be dropped.

(I can supply logic analyzer screenshots if necessary)

This fix replaces the serial8250_clear_fifos() call to
serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos() - this prevents the "dropped
characters" issue from manifesting again while retaining the requirement
of clearing the RX FIFO after transmission if the SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX
flag is disabled.

8250_pci: Fix potential use-after-free in error path

2017-01-11T07:35:17+00:00

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.

tty/serial: atmel: RS485 half duplex w/DMA: enable RX after TX is done

2017-01-11T07:18:45+00:00

When using RS485 in half duplex, RX should be enabled when TX is
finished, and stopped when TX starts.

Before commit 0058f0871efe7b01c6 ("tty/serial: atmel: fix RS485 half
duplex with DMA"), RX was not disabled in atmel_start_tx() if the DMA
was used. So, collisions could happened.

But disabling RX in atmel_start_tx() uncovered another bug:
RX was enabled again in the wrong place (in atmel_tx_dma) instead of
being enabled when TX is finished (in atmel_complete_tx_dma), so the
transmission simply stopped.

This bug was not triggered before commit 0058f0871efe7b01c6
("tty/serial: atmel: fix RS485 half duplex with DMA") because RX was
never disabled before.

Moving atmel_start_rx() in atmel_complete_tx_dma() corrects the problem.

tty/serial: atmel_serial: BUG: stop DMA from transmitting in stop_tx

2017-01-11T07:18:45+00:00

If we don't disable the transmitter in atmel_stop_tx, the DMA buffer
continues to send data until it is emptied.
This cause problems with the flow control (CTS is asserted and data are
still sent).

So, disabling the transmitter in atmel_stop_tx is a sane thing to do.
