[ Upstream commit 988c7c00691008ea1daaa1235680a0da49dab4e8 ]

The commit c15c3747ee32 (serial: samsung: fix potential soft lockup
during uart write) added an unlock of port-&gt;lock before
uart_write_wakeup() and a lock after it. It was always problematic to
write data from tty_ldisc_ops::write_wakeup and it was even documented
that way. We fixed the line disciplines to conform to this recently.
So if there is still a missed one, we should fix them instead of this
workaround.

On the top of that, s3c24xx_serial_tx_dma_complete() in this driver
still holds the port-&gt;lock while calling uart_write_wakeup().

So revert the wrap added by the commit above.

<title>serial: 8250: fix XOFF/XON sending when DMA is used</title>

[ Upstream commit f58c252e30cf74f68b0054293adc03b5923b9f0e ]

When 8250 UART is using DMA, x_char (XON/XOFF) is never sent
to the wire. After this change, x_char is injected correctly.

Create uart_xchar_out() helper for sending the x_char out and
accounting related to it. It seems that almost every driver
does these same steps with x_char. Except for 8250, however,
almost all currently lack .serial_out so they cannot immediately
take advantage of this new helper.

The downside of this patch is that it might reintroduce
the problems some devices faced with mixed DMA/non-DMA transfer
which caused revert f967fc8f165f (Revert "serial: 8250_dma:
don't bother DMA with small transfers"). However, the impact
should be limited to cases with XON/XOFF (that didn't work
with DMA capable devices to begin with so this problem is not
very likely to cause a major issue, if any at all).

<title>kgdboc: fix return value of __setup handler</title>

[ Upstream commit ab818c7aa7544bf8d2dd4bdf68878b17a02eb332 ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
A return of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown
kernel parameter and added to init's (limited) environment strings.
So return 1 from kgdboc_option_setup().

Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc7
  kgdboc=kbd kgdbts=", will be passed to user space.

 Run /sbin/init as init process
   with arguments:
     /sbin/init
   with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc7
     kgdboc=kbd
     kgdbts=

[ Upstream commit dedab69fd650ea74710b2e626e63fd35584ef773 ]

Set em485-&gt;active_timer = NULL isn't always enough to take out the stop
timer. While there is a check that it acts in the right state (i.e.
waiting for RTS-after-send to pass after sending some chars) but the
following might happen:

 - CPU1: some chars send, shifter becomes empty, stop tx timer armed
 - CPU0: more chars send before RTS-after-send expired
 - CPU0: shifter empty irq, port lock taken
 - CPU1: tx timer triggers, waits for port lock
 - CPU0: em485-&gt;active_timer = &amp;em485-&gt;stop_tx_timer, hrtimer_start(),
   releases lock()
 - CPU1: get lock, see em485-&gt;active_timer == &amp;em485-&gt;stop_tx_timer,
   tear down RTS too early

This fix bases on research done by Steffen Trumtrar.

[ Upstream commit 67ec6dd0b257bd81b4e9fcac89b29da72f6265e5 ]

The pci_get_slot() increases its reference count, the caller
must decrement the reference count by calling pci_dev_put().

[ Upstream commit a603ca60cebff8589882427a67f870ed946b3fc8 ]

Commit 54da3e381c2b ("serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: use UPF_IOREMAP to
set up register mapping") fixed a bug that had, as a side-effect,
prevented the 8250_aspeed_vuart driver from enabling the VUART's
FIFOs.  However, fixing that (and hence enabling the FIFOs) has in
turn revealed what appears to be a hardware bug in the ASPEED VUART in
which the host-side THRE bit doesn't get if the BMC-side receive FIFO
trigger level is set to anything but one byte.  This causes problems
for polled-mode writes from the host -- for example, Linux kernel
console writes proceed at a glacial pace (less than 100 bytes per
second) because the write path waits for a 10ms timeout to expire
after every character instead of being able to continue on to the next
character upon seeing THRE asserted.  (GRUB behaves similarly.)

As a workaround, introduce a new port type for the ASPEED VUART that's
identical to PORT_16550A as it had previously been using, but with
UART_FCR_R_TRIG_00 instead to set the receive FIFO trigger level to
one byte, which (experimentally) seems to avoid the problematic THRE
behavior.

<title>mxser: fix xmit_buf leak in activate when LSR == 0xff</title>

[ Upstream commit cd3a4907ee334b40d7aa880c7ab310b154fd5cd4 ]

When LSR is 0xff in -&gt;activate() (rather unlike), we return an error.
Provided -&gt;shutdown() is not called when -&gt;activate() fails, nothing
actually frees the buffer in this case.

Fix this by properly freeing the buffer in a designated label. We jump
there also from the "!info-&gt;type" if now too.

Pull tty/serial driver fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are some small n_gsm and sc16is7xx serial driver fixes for
  5.17-rc6.

  The n_gsm fixes are from Siemens as it seems they are using the line
  discipline and fixing up a number of issues they found in their
  testing. The sc16is7xx serial driver fix is for a reported problem
  with that chip.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported problems"
