commit 4a7e625ce50412a7711efa0f2ef0b96ce3826759 upstream.

Commit 9b96fbacda34 ("serial: PL011: clear pending interrupts")
clears the RX and receive timeout interrupts on pl011 startup, to
avoid a screaming-interrupt scenario that can occur when the
firmware or bootloader leaves these interrupts asserted.

This has been noted as an issue when running Linux on qemu [1].

Unfortunately, the above fix seems to lead to potential
misbehaviour if the RX FIFO interrupt is asserted _non_ spuriously
on driver startup, if the RX FIFO is also already full to the
trigger level.

Clearing the RX FIFO interrupt does not change the FIFO fill level.
In this scenario, because the interrupt is now clear and because
the FIFO is already full to the trigger level, no new assertion of
the RX FIFO interrupt can occur unless the FIFO is drained back
below the trigger level.  This never occurs because the pl011
driver is waiting for an RX FIFO interrupt to tell it that there is
something to read, and does not read the FIFO at all until that
interrupt occurs.

Thus, simply clearing "spurious" interrupts on startup may be
misguided, since there is no way to be sure that the interrupts are
truly spurious, and things can go wrong if they are not.

This patch instead clears the interrupt condition by draining the
RX FIFO during UART startup, after clearing any potentially
spurious interrupt.  This should ensure that an interrupt will
definitely be asserted if the RX FIFO subsequently becomes
sufficiently full.

The drain is done at the point of enabling interrupts only.  This
means that it will occur any time the UART is newly opened through
the tty layer.  It will not apply to polled-mode use of the UART by
kgdboc: since that scenario cannot use interrupts by design, this
should not matter.  kgdboc will interact badly with "normal" use of
the UART in any case: this patch makes no attempt to paper over
such issues.

This patch does not attempt to address the case where the RX FIFO
fills faster than it can be drained: that is a pathological
hardware design problem that is beyond the scope of the driver to
work around.  As a failsafe, the number of poll iterations for
draining the FIFO is limited to twice the FIFO size.  This will
ensure that the kernel at least boots even if it is impossible to
drain the FIFO for some reason.

<title>serial: 8250: omap: Fix idling of clocks for unused uarts</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 13dc04d0e5fdc25c8f713ad23fdce51cf2bf96ba upstream.

I noticed that unused UARTs won't necessarily idle properly always
unless at least one byte tx transfer is done first.

After some debugging I narrowed down the problem to the scr register
dma configuration bits that need to be set before softreset for the
clocks to idle. Unless we do this, the module clkctrl idlest bits
may be set to 1 instead of 3 meaning the clock will never idle and
is blocking deeper idle states for the whole domain.

This might be related to the configuration done by the bootloader
or kexec booting where certain configurations cause the 8250 or
the clkctrl clock to jam in a way where setting of the scr bits
and reset is needed to clear it. I've tried diffing the 8250
registers for the various modes, but did not see anything specific.
So far I've only seen this on omap4 but I'm suspecting this might
also happen on the other clkctrl using SoCs considering they
already have a quirk enabled for UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE.

Let's fix the issue by configuring scr before reset for basic dma
even if we don't use it. The scr register will be reset when we do
softreset few lines after, and we restore scr on resume. We should
do this for all the SoCs with UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE quirk flag
set since the ones with UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE are all based
using clkctrl similar to omap4.

Looks like both OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_1 | OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL
bits are needed for the clkctrl to idle after a softreset.

And we need to add omap4 to also use the UART_ERRATA_CLOCK_DISABLE
for the related workaround to be enabled. This same compatible
value will also be used for omap5.

commit aa2f80e752c75e593b3820f42c416ed9458fa73e upstream.

The best granularity of residue that DMA engine can report is in the BURST
units, so the serial driver must use MAXBURST = 1 and DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_1_BYTE
if it relies on exact number of bytes transferred by DMA engine.

commit 9594b5be7ec110ed11acec58fa94f3f293668c85 upstream.

I was puzzled while looking at /proc/interrupts and random things showed
up between reboots. This occurred more often but I realised it later. The
"correct" output should be:
|38:      11861  atmel-aic5   2 Level     ttyS0

but I saw sometimes
|38:       6426  atmel-aic5   2 Level     tty1

and accounted it wrongly as correct. This is use after free and the
former example randomly got the "old" pointer which pointed to the same
content. With SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and HARDENED I even got
|38:       7067  atmel-aic5   2 Level     E=Started User Manager for UID 0

or other nonsense.
As it turns out the tty, pointer that is accessed in atmel_startup(), is
freed() before atmel_shutdown(). It seems to happen quite often that the
tty for ttyS0 is allocated and freed while -&gt;shutdown is not invoked. I
don't do anything special - just a systemd boot :)

Use dev_name(&amp;pdev-&gt;dev) as the IRQ name for request_irq(). This exists
as long as the driver is loaded so no use-after-free here.

commit d63c16f8e1ab761775275adcf54f4bef7c330295 upstream.

Printk format "%pCr" will be removed soon, as clk_get_rate() must not be
called in atomic context.

Replace it by open-coding the operation.  This is safe here, as the code
runs in task context.

syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544bebe85071 ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9b7d600
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.

syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544bebe85071 ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9b7d600
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.

Baudrate calculation depends on requested baudrate and uart clock.
This patch is checking that uartclk is also passed.

The same logic is used 8250_early.c/init_port function.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

<title>tty: Avoid possible error pointer dereference at tty_ldisc_restore().</title>

syzbot is reporting crashes [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at
tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_restore(). While syzbot stops at WARN_ON()
due to panic_on_warn == true, panic_on_warn == false will after all trigger
an OOPS by dereferencing old-&gt;ops-&gt;num if IS_ERR(old) == true.

We can simplify tty_ldisc_restore() as three calls (old-&gt;ops-&gt;num, N_TTY,
N_NULL) to tty_ldisc_failto() in addition to avoiding possible error
pointer dereference.

If someone reports kernel panic triggered by forcing all memory allocations
for tty_ldisc_restore() to fail, we can consider adding __GFP_NOFAIL for
tty_ldisc_restore() case.

The platform_get_irq can return error. Assigning the return value to an
unsigned variable and checking it for negative value will always return
false.

Use an intermediate signed variable to get IRQ information, check for any
error and then assign it to 'irq' variable inside uart_port structure.
