commit a501ab75e7624d133a5a3c7ec010687c8b961d23 upstream.

There is a race in pty_write(). pty_write() can be called in parallel
with e.g. ioctl(TIOCSTI) or ioctl(TCXONC) which also inserts chars to
the buffer. Provided, tty_flip_buffer_push() in pty_write() is called
outside the lock, it can commit inconsistent tail. This can lead to out
of bounds writes and other issues. See the Link below.

To fix this, we have to introduce a new helper called
tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer(). It does both
tty_insert_flip_string() and tty_flip_buffer_commit() under the port
lock. It also calls queue_work(), but outside the lock. See
71a174b39f10 (pty: do tty_flip_buffer_push without port-&gt;lock in
pty_write) for the reasons.

Keep the helper internal-only (in drivers' tty.h). It is not intended to
be used widely.

commit 5db96ef23bda6c2a61a51693c85b78b52d03f654 upstream.

Since commit a9c3f68f3cd8d (tty: Fix low_latency BUG) in 2014,
tty_flip_buffer_push() is only a wrapper to tty_schedule_flip(). All
users were converted in the previous patches, so remove
tty_schedule_flip() completely while inlining its body into
tty_flip_buffer_push().

One less exported function.

commit 4f532c1e25319e42996ec18a1f473fd50c8e575d upstream.

Functions tty_termios_encode_baud_rate() and uart_update_timeout() should
be called with the baudrate value which was set to hardware. Linux then
report exact values via ioctl(TCGETS2) to userspace.

Change mvebu_uart_baud_rate_set() function to return baudrate value which
was set to hardware and propagate this value to above mentioned functions.

With this change userspace would see precise value in termios c_ospeed
field.

commit 5c5f44e36217de5ead789ff25da71c31c2331c96 upstream.

The code lacks clearing of previous DEAT/DEDT values. Thus, changing
values on the fly results in garbage delays tending towards the maximum
value as more and more bits are ORed together. (Leaving RS485 mode
would have cleared the old values though).

If port-&gt;mapbase = NULL in serial8250_request_std_resource() , it need
return a error code instead of 0. If uart_set_info() fail to request new
regions by serial8250_request_std_resource() but the return value of

that the resource application is successful and does not attempt to

commit ff2047fb755d4415ec3c70ac799889371151796d upstream.

Drop support for these ioctls:
* PIO_FONT, PIO_FONTX
* GIO_FONT, GIO_FONTX
* PIO_FONTRESET

As was demonstrated by commit 90bfdeef83f1 (tty: make FONTX ioctl use
the tty pointer they were actually passed), these ioctls are not used
from userspace, as:
1) they used to be broken (set up font on current console, not the open
   one) and racy (before the commit above)
2) KDFONTOP ioctl is used for years instead

Note that PIO_FONTRESET is defunct on most systems as VGA_CONSOLE is set
on them for ages. That turns on BROKEN_GRAPHICS_PROGRAMS which makes
PIO_FONTRESET just return an error.

We are removing KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD here as it was used only by these
removed ioctls. kd.h header exists both in kernel and uapi headers, so
we can remove the kernel one completely. Everyone includeing kd.h will
now automatically get the uapi one.

There are now unused definitions of the ioctl numbers and "struct
consolefontdesc" in kd.h, but as it is a uapi header, I am not touching
these.
