The SERIAL_8250_FSL option is used to enable a workaround for a
break-detection erratum for Freescale 16550 UARTs in the 8250 driver and
is currently also used to enable support for ACPI enumeration.

It is enabled on PPC, ARM and ARM64 whenever 8250 console support is
enabled (since the quirk is needed for sysrq handling).

Commit b1442c55ce89 ("serial: 8250: extend compile-test coverage")
enabled compile testing of the code in question but did not provide a
means to disable the option when COMPILE_TEST is enabled.

Add a conditional input prompt instead so that SERIAL_8250_FSL is no
longer enabled by default when compile testing while continuing to
always enable the quirk for platforms that may need it.

Commit b67e830d38fa ("serial: 8250: 8250_omap: Fix possible interrupt
storm on K3 SoCs") introduced fixup including a register read to
RX_LVL, however, we should be using word offset than byte offset
since our registers are on 4 byte boundary (port.regshift = 2) for
8250_omap.

Handle optional overrun-throttle-ms property as done for 8250_fsl in commit
6d7f677a2afa ("serial: 8250: Rate limit serial port rx interrupts during
input overruns"). This can be used to rate limit the UART interrupts on
noisy lines that end up producing messages like the following:

ttyS ttyS2: 4 input overrun(s)

At least on droid4, the multiplexed USB and UART port is left to UART mode
by the bootloader for a debug console, and if a USB charger is connected
on boot, we get noise on the UART until the PMIC related drivers for PHY
and charger are loaded.

With this patch and overrun-throttle-ms = &lt;500&gt; we avoid the extra rx
interrupts.

<title>serial: 8250_pci: Avoid irq sharing for MSI(-X) interrupts.</title>

<id>341abd693d10e5f337a51f140ae3e7a1ae0febf6</id>
<content type='text'>
This attempts to fix a bug found with a serial port card which uses
an MCS9922 chip, one of the 4 models for which MSI-X interrupts are
currently supported. I don't possess such a card, and i'm not
experienced with the serial subsystem, so this patch is based on what
i think i found as a likely reason for failure, based on walking the
user who actually owns the card through some diagnostic.

The user who reported the problem finds the following in his dmesg
output for the relevant ttyS4 and ttyS5:

[    0.580425] serial 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -&gt; 0003)
[    0.601448] 0000:02:00.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x3010 (irq = 125, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2
[    0.603089] serial 0000:02:00.1: enabling device (0000 -&gt; 0003)
[    0.624119] 0000:02:00.1: ttyS5 at I/O 0x3000 (irq = 126, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2
...
[    6.323784] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 128. 00000080 (ttyS5) vs. 00000000 (xhci_hcd)
[    6.324128] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 128. 00000080 (ttyS5) vs. 00000000 (xhci_hcd)
...

Output of setserial -a:

/dev/ttyS4, Line 4, UART: 16650V2, Port: 0x3010, IRQ: 127
	Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
	closing_wait: 3000
	Flags: spd_normal skip_test

This suggests to me that the serial driver wants to register and share a
MSI/MSI-X irq 128 with the xhci_hcd driver, whereas the xhci driver does
not want to share the irq, as flags 0x00000080 (== IRQF_SHARED) from the
serial port driver means to share the irq, and this mismatch ends in some
failed irq init?

With this setup, data reception works very unreliable, with dropped data,
already at a transmission rate of only a 16 Bytes chunk every 1/120th of
a second, ie. 1920 Bytes/sec, presumably due to rx fifo overflow due to
mishandled or not used at all rx irq's?

See full discussion thread with attempted diagnosis at:

https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group/t/issues-with-iscan-serial-port-recording/3886

Disabling the use of MSI interrupts for the serial port pci card did
fix the reliability problems. The user executed the following sequence
of commands to achieve this:

echo 0000:02:00.0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/unbind
echo 0000:02:00.1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/unbind

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/msi_bus
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.1/msi_bus

echo 0000:02:00.0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/bind
echo 0000:02:00.1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/bind

This resulted in the following log output:

[   82.179021] pci 0000:02:00.0: MSI/MSI-X disallowed for future drivers
[   87.003031] pci 0000:02:00.1: MSI/MSI-X disallowed for future drivers
[   98.537010] 0000:02:00.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x3010 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2
[  103.648124] 0000:02:00.1: ttyS5 at I/O 0x3000 (irq = 18, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2

This patch attempts to fix the problem by disabling irq sharing when
using MSI irq's. Note that all i know for sure is that disabling MSI
irq's fixed the problem for the user, so this patch could be wrong and
is untested. Please review with caution, keeping this in mind.

Fix uart corruption issue when rx power off.
Add spin lock in mtk8250_dma_rx_complete function in APDMA mode.

when uart is used as a communication port with external device(GPS).
when external device(GPS) power off, the power of rx pin is also from
1.8v to 0v. Even if there is not any data in rx. But uart rx pin can
capture the data "0".
If uart don't receive any data in specified cycle, uart will generates
BI(Break interrupt) interrupt.
If external device(GPS) power off, we found that BI interrupt appeared
continuously and very frequently.
When uart interrupt type is BI, uart IRQ handler(8250 framwork
API:serial8250_handle_irq) will push data to tty buffer.
mtk8250_dma_rx_complete is a task of mtk_uart_apdma_rx_handler.

Fix uart corruption issue when rx power off.
Add spin lock in mtk8250_dma_rx_complete function in APDMA mode.

when uart is used as a communication port with external device(GPS).
when external device(GPS) power off, the power of rx pin is also from
1.8v to 0v. Even if there is not any data in rx. But uart rx pin can
capture the data "0".
If uart don't receive any data in specified cycle, uart will generates
BI(Break interrupt) interrupt.
If external device(GPS) power off, we found that BI interrupt appeared
continuously and very frequently.
When uart interrupt type is BI, uart IRQ handler(8250 framwork
API:serial8250_handle_irq) will push data to tty buffer.

The bar and offset parameters to setup_port() are used in pointer math,
and while it would be very difficult to get them to wrap as a negative
number, just be "safe" and make them unsigned so that static checkers do
not trip over them unintentionally.

<title>serial: 8250: Define RX trigger levels for OxSemi 950 devices</title>

Oxford Semiconductor 950 serial port devices have a 128-byte FIFO and in
the enhanced (650) mode, which we select in `autoconfig_has_efr' with
the ECB bit set in the EFR register, they support the receive interrupt
trigger level selectable with FCR bits 7:6 from the set of 16, 32, 112,
120.  This applies to the original OX16C950 discrete UART[1] as well as
950 cores embedded into more complex devices.

For these devices we set the default to 112, which sets an excessively
high level of 112 or 7/8 of the FIFO capacity, unlike with other port
types where we choose at most 1/2 of their respective FIFO capacities.
Additionally we don't make the trigger level configurable.  Consequently
frequent input overruns happen with high bit rates where hardware flow
control cannot be used (e.g. terminal applications) even with otherwise
highly-performant systems.

Lower the default receive interrupt trigger level to 32 then, and make
it configurable.  Document the trigger levels along with other port
types, including the set of 16, 32, 64, 112 for the transmit interrupt
as well[2].
