commit a4f642a8a3c2838ad09fe8313d45db46600e1478 upstream.

The nozomi wireless data driver has its own helper function to
transfer data from a FIFO, doing an extra byte swap on big-endian
architectures, presumably to bring the data back into byte-serial
order after readw() or readl() perform their implicit byteswap.

This helper function is used in the receive_data() function to
first read the length into a 32-bit variable, which causes
a compile-time warning:

drivers/tty/nozomi.c: In function 'receive_data':
drivers/tty/nozomi.c:857:9: warning: 'size' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

The problem is that gcc is unsure whether the data was actually
read or not. We know that it is at this point, so we can replace
it with a single readl() to shut up that warning.

I am leaving the byteswap in there, to preserve the existing
behavior, even though this seems fishy: Reading the length of
the data into a cpu-endian variable should normally not use
a second byteswap on big-endian systems, unless the hardware
is aware of the CPU endianess.

There appears to be a lot more confusion about endianess in this
driver, so it probably has not worked on big-endian systems in
a long time, if ever, and I have no way to test it. It's well
possible that this driver has not been used by anyone in a while,
the last patch that looks like it was tested on the hardware is
from 2008.

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

commit b389f173aaa1204d6dc1f299082a162eb0491545 upstream.

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.

commit 497e1e16f45c70574dc9922c7f75c642c2162119 upstream.

A side effect of 89d8232411a8 ("tty/serial: atmel_serial: BUG: stop DMA
from transmitting in stop_tx") is that the console can be called with
TX path disabled. Then the system would hang trying to push charecters
out in atmel_console_putchar().

commit 31ca2c63fdc0aee725cbd4f207c1256f5deaabde upstream.

If uart_flush_buffer() is called between atmel_tx_dma() and
atmel_complete_tx_dma(), the circular buffer has been cleared, but not
atmel_port-&gt;tx_len.
That leads to a circular buffer overflow (dumping (UART_XMIT_SIZE -
atmel_port-&gt;tx_len) bytes).

<title>serial: 8250_pci: Detach low-level driver during PCI error recovery</title>

[ 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.

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.

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).

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.

commit e9b736d88af1a143530565929390cadf036dc799 upstream.

The class of 4 n_hdls buf locks is the same because a single function
n_hdlc_buf_list_init is used to init all the locks. But since
flush_tx_queue takes n_hdlc-&gt;tx_buf_list.spinlock and then calls
n_hdlc_buf_put which takes n_hdlc-&gt;tx_free_buf_list.spinlock, lockdep
emits a warning:

Fix it by initializing the spin_locks separately. This removes also
reduntand memset of a freshly kzallocated space.

<title>tty: serial: msm: Fix module autoload</title>

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
alias:          of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uart
