commit 4244f830a56058ee0670d80e7ac9fd7c982eb480 upstream.

When Rx in-band wakeup is enabled, set RTS to true in mtk8250_shutdown()
so the connected device can still send message and trigger IRQ when the
system is suspended.

commit 614a19b89ca43449196a8af1afac7d55c6781687 upstream.

There is a scenario when resuming from some power saving states
with no_console_suspend where console output can be generated
before the 8250_bcm7271 driver gets the opportunity to restore
the baud_mux_clk frequency. Since the baud_mux_clk is at its
default frequency at this time the output can be garbled until
the driver gets the opportunity to resume.

Since this is only an issue with console use of the serial port
during that window and the console isn't likely to use baud
rates that require alternate baud_mux_clk frequencies, allow the
driver to select the default_mux_rate if it is accurate enough.

commit 8492bd91aa055907c67ef04f2b56f6dadd1f44bf upstream.

When using a high speed clock with a low baud rate, the 4x prescaler is
automatically selected if required. In that case, sc16is7xx_set_baud()
properly configures the chip registers, but returns an incorrect baud
rate by not taking into account the prescaler value. This incorrect baud
rate is then fed to uart_update_timeout().

For example, with an input clock of 80MHz, and a selected baud rate of 50,
sc16is7xx_set_baud() will return 200 instead of 50.

Fix this by first changing the prescaler variable to hold the selected
prescaler value instead of the MCR bitfield. Then properly take into
account the selected prescaler value in the return value computation.

Also add better documentation about the divisor value computation.

commit 70d7f1427afcf7fa2d21cb5a04c6f3555d5b9357 upstream.

The current implementation uses either gsm0_receive() or gsm1_receive()
depending on whether the user configured the mux in basic or advanced
option mode. Both functions share some state values over the same logical
elements of the frame. However, both frame types differ in their nature.
gsm0_receive() uses non-transparency framing, whereas gsm1_receive() uses
transparency mechanism. Switching between both modes leaves the receive
function in an undefined state when done during frame reception.

Fix this by splitting both states. Add gsm0_receive_state_check_and_fix()
and gsm1_receive_state_check_and_fix() to ensure that gsm-&gt;state is reset
after a change of gsm-&gt;receive.

Note that gsm-&gt;state is only accessed in:
- gsm0_receive()
- gsm1_receive()
- gsm_error()

commit 47388e807f85948eefc403a8a5fdc5b406a65d5a upstream.

Assuming the following:
- side A configures the n_gsm in basic option mode
- side B sends the header of a basic option mode frame with data length 1
- side A switches to advanced option mode
- side B sends 2 data bytes which exceeds gsm-&gt;len
  Reason: gsm-&gt;len is not used in advanced option mode.
- side A switches to basic option mode
- side B keeps sending until gsm0_receive() writes past gsm-&gt;buf
  Reason: Neither gsm-&gt;state nor gsm-&gt;len have been reset after
  reconfiguration.

Fix this by changing gsm-&gt;count to gsm-&gt;len comparison from equal to less
than. Also add upper limit checks against the constant MAX_MRU in
gsm0_receive() and gsm1_receive() to harden against memory corruption of
gsm-&gt;len and gsm-&gt;mru.

All other checks remain as we still need to limit the data according to the
user configuration and actual payload size.

commit b2aba15ad6f908d1a620fd97f6af5620c3639742 upstream.

Currently, when kdb is compiled with keyboard support, then we will use
schedule_work() to provoke reset of the keyboard status.  Unfortunately
schedule_work() gets called from the kgdboc post-debug-exception
handler.  That risks deadlock since schedule_work() is not NMI-safe and,
even on platforms where the NMI is not directly used for debugging, the
debug trap can have NMI-like behaviour depending on where breakpoints
are placed.

Fix this by using the irq work system, which is NMI-safe, to defer the
call to schedule_work() to a point when it is safe to call.

When an UART is opened that still has .throttled set from a previous
open, the RX interrupt is enabled but the irq handler doesn't consider
it. This easily results in a stuck irq with the effect to occupy the CPU
in a tight loop.

So reset the throttle state in .startup() to ensure that RX irqs are
handled.

If there is a stuck irq that the handler doesn't address, returning
IRQ_HANDLED unconditionally makes it impossible for the irq core to
detect the problem and disable the irq. So only return IRQ_HANDLED if
an event was handled.

A stuck irq is still problematic, but with this change at least it only
makes the UART nonfunctional instead of occupying the (usually only) CPU
by 100% and so stall the whole machine.

makes the UART nonfunctional instead of occupying the (usually only) CPU
by 100% and so stall the whole machine.

We are seeing start_tx being called after port shutdown as noted by Jiri.
This happens because we are missing the startup and shutdown related
functions for the serial base port.

Let's fix the issue by adding startup and shutdown functions for the
serial base port to block tx flushing for the serial base port when the
port is not in use.

<title>serial: core: Clearing the circular buffer before NULLifying it</title>

The circular buffer is NULLified in uart_tty_port_shutdown()
under the spin lock. However, the PM or other timer based callbacks
may still trigger after this event without knowning that buffer pointer
is not valid. Since the serial code is a bit inconsistent in checking
the buffer state (some rely on the head-tail positions, some on the
buffer pointer), it's better to have both aligned, i.e. buffer pointer
to be NULL and head-tail possitions to be the same, meaning it's empty.
This will prevent asynchronous calls to dereference NULL pointer as
reported recently in 8250 case:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000cf5
  Workqueue: pm pm_runtime_work
  EIP: serial8250_tx_chars (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1809)
  ...
  ? serial8250_tx_chars (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1809)
  __start_tx (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1551)
  serial8250_start_tx (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1654)
  serial_port_runtime_suspend (include/linux/serial_core.h:667 drivers/tty/serial/serial_port.c:63)
  __rpm_callback (drivers/base/power/runtime.c:393)
  ? serial_port_remove (drivers/tty/serial/serial_port.c:50)
  rpm_suspend (drivers/base/power/runtime.c:447)

The proposed change will prevent -&gt;start_tx() to be called during
suspend on shut down port.
