<title>tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: free IDs allocated by IDA</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 3bc3206e1c0f ("serial: fsl_lpuart: Remove the alias node
dependence") the port line number can also be allocated by IDA, but in
case of an error the ID will no be removed again. More importantly, any
ID will be freed in remove(), even if it wasn't allocated but instead
fetched by of_alias_get_id(). If it was not allocated by IDA there will
be a warning:
  WARN(1, "ida_free called for id=%d which is not allocated.\n", id);

Move the ID allocation more to the end of the probe() so that we still
can use plain return in the first error cases.

This reverts commit a659652f6169240a5818cb244b280c5a362ef5a4.

This broke the earlycon on LS1021A processors because the order of the
earlycon_setup() functions were changed. Before the commit the normal
lpuart32_early_console_setup() was called. After the commit the
lpuart32_imx_early_console_setup() is called instead.

<title>serdev: Fix detection of UART devices on Apple machines.</title>

<content type='text'>
On Apple devices the _CRS method returns an empty resource template, and
the resource settings are instead provided by the _DSM method. But
commit 33364d63c75d6182fa369cea80315cf1bb0ee38e (serdev: Add ACPI
devices by ResourceSource field) changed the search for serdev devices
to require valid, non-empty resource template, thereby breaking Apple
devices and causing bluetooth devices to not be found.

This expands the check so that if we don't find a valid template, and
we're on an Apple machine, then just check for the device being an
immediate child of the controller and having a "baud" property.

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.

It is due to a race between parallel paste_selection (TIOCL_PASTESEL)
and set_selection_user (TIOCL_SETSEL) invocations. One uses sel_buffer,
while the other frees it and reallocates a new one for another
selection. Add a mutex to close this race.

The mutex takes care properly of sel_buffer and sel_buffer_lth only. The
other selection global variables (like sel_start, sel_end, and sel_cons)
are protected only in set_selection_user. The other functions need quite
some more work to close the races of the variables there. This is going
to happen later.

This likely fixes (I am unsure as there is no reproducer provided) bug
206361 too. It was marked as CVE-2020-8648.

<title>vt: selection, handle pending signals in paste_selection</title>

When pasting a selection to a vt, the task is set as INTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for a tty to unthrottle. But signals are not handled at all.
Normally, this is not a problem as tty_ldisc_receive_buf receives all
the goods and a user has no reason to interrupt the task.

There are two scenarios where this matters:
1) when the tty is throttled and a signal is sent to the process, it
   spins on a CPU until the tty is unthrottled. schedule() does not
   really echedule, but returns immediately, of course.
2) when the sel_buffer becomes invalid, KASAN prevents any reads from it
   and the loop simply does not proceed and spins forever (causing the
   tty to throttle, but the code never sleeps, the same as above). This
   sometimes happens as there is a race in the sel_buffer handling code.

So add signal handling to this ioctl (TIOCL_PASTESEL) and return -EINTR
in case a signal is pending.

<title>serial: cpm_uart: call cpm_muram_init before registering console</title>

Christophe reports that powerpc 8xx silently fails to 5.6-rc1. It turns
out I was wrong about nobody relying on the lazy initialization of the
cpm/qe muram in commit b6231ea2b3c6 (soc: fsl: qe: drop broken lazy
call of cpm_muram_init()).

Rather than reinstating the somewhat dubious lazy call (initializing a
currently held spinlock, and implicitly doing a GFP_KERNEL under that
spinlock), make sure that cpm_muram_init() is called early enough - I
thought the calls from the subsys_initcalls were good enough, but when
used by console drivers, that's obviously not the
case. cpm_muram_init() is safe to call twice (there's an early return
if it is already initialized), so keep the call from cpm_init() - in
case SERIAL_CPM_CONSOLE=n.
