Invoking TIOCVHANGUP on 8250_mid port on Ice Lake-D and then reopening
the port triggers these faults during serial8250_do_startup():

  DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
  DMAR: [DMA Write NO_PASID] Request device [00:1a.0] fault addr 0x0 [fault reason 0x05] PTE Write access is not set

If the IRQ hasn't been set up yet, the UART will have zeroes in its MSI
address/data registers. Disabling the IRQ at the interrupt controller
won't stop the UART from performing a DMA write to the address programmed
in its MSI address register (zero) when it wants to signal an interrupt.

The UARTs (in Ice Lake-D) implement PCI 2.1 style MSI without masking
capability, so there is no way to mask the interrupt at the source PCI
function level, except disabling the MSI capability entirely, but that
would cause it to fall back to INTx# assertion, and the PCI specification
prohibits disabling the MSI capability as a way to mask a function's
interrupt service request.

The MSI address register is zeroed by the hangup as the irq is freed.
The interrupt is signalled during serial8250_do_startup() performing a
THRE test that temporarily toggles THRI in IER. The THRE test currently
occurs before UART's irq (and MSI address) is properly set up.

Refactor serial8250_do_startup() such that irq is set up before the
THRE test. The current irq setup code is intermixed with the timer
setup code. As THRE test must be performed prior to the timer setup,
extract it into own function and call it only after the THRE test.

The -&gt;setup_timer() needs to be part of the struct uart_8250_ops in
order to not create circular dependency between 8250 and 8250_base
modules.

DW flags address received as BIT(8) in LSR. In order to not lose that

Adjust lsr/status variables and related call chains to use u16.
Technically, some of these type conversion would not be needed but it

<title>serial: 8250: Move Alpha-specific quirk out of the core</title>

<content type='text'>
struct uart_8250_port contains mcr_mask and mcr_force members whose
sole purpose is to work around an Alpha-specific quirk.  This code
doesn't belong in the core where it is executed by everyone else,
so move it to a proper -&gt;set_mctrl callback which is used on the
affected Alpha machine only.

The quirk was introduced in January 1995:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/diff/drivers/char/serial.c?h=1.1.83

The members in struct uart_8250_port were added in 2002:
https://git.kernel.org/history/history/c/4524aad27854

The quirk applies to non-PCI Alphas and arch/alpha/Kconfig specifies
"select FORCE_PCI if !ALPHA_JENSEN".  So apparently the only affected
machine is the EISA-based Jensen that Linus was working on back then:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wj1JWZ3sCrGz16nxEj7=0O+srMg6Ah3iPTDXSPKEws_SA@mail.gmail.com/

Up until now the quirk is not applied unless CONFIG_PCI is disabled.
If users forget to do that or run a generic Alpha kernel, the serial
ports aren't usable on Jensen.  Avoid by confining the quirk to
CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN instead of !CONFIG_PCI.  On generic Alpha kernels,
auto-detect at runtime whether the quirk needs to be applied.

Some platforms can be designed in a way so the UART port reference clock
might be asynchronously changed at some point. In Baikal-T1 SoC this may
happen due to the reference clock being shared between two UART ports, on
the Allwinner SoC the reference clock is derived from the CPU clock, so
any CPU frequency change should get to be known/reflected by/in the UART
controller as well. But it's not enough to just update the
uart_port-&gt;uartclk field of the corresponding UART port, the 8250
controller reference clock divisor should be altered so to preserve
current baud rate setting. All of these things is done in a coherent
way by calling the serial8250_update_uartclk() method provided in this
patch. Though note that it isn't supposed to be called from within the
UART port callbacks because the locks using to the protect the UART port
data are already taken in there.

<title>serial: 8250_port: Don't use power management for kernel console</title>

<id>bedb404e91bb2908d9921fc736a518a9d89525fc</id>
<content type='text'>
Doing any kind of power management for kernel console is really bad idea.

First of all, it runs in poll and atomic mode. This fact attaches a limitation
on the functions that might be called. For example, pm_runtime_get_sync() might
sleep and thus can't be used. This call needs, for example, to bring the device
to powered on state on the system, where the power on sequence may require
on-atomic operations, such as Intel Cherrytrail with ACPI enumerated UARTs.
That said, on ACPI enabled platforms it might even call firmware for a job.

On the other hand pm_runtime_get() doesn't guarantee that device will become
powered on fast enough.

Besides that, imagine the case when console is about to print a kernel Oops and
it's powered off. In such an emergency case calling the complex functions is
not the best what we can do, taking into consideration that user wants to see
at least something of the last kernel word before it passes away.

Here we modify the 8250 console code to prevent runtime power management.

Note, there is a behaviour change for OMAP boards. It will require to detach
kernel console to become idle.

Doing any kind of power management for kernel console is really bad idea.

First of all, it runs in poll and atomic mode. This fact attaches a limitation
on the functions that might be called. For example, pm_runtime_get_sync() might
sleep and thus can't be used. This call needs, for example, to bring the device
to powered on state on the system, where the power on sequence may require
on-atomic operations, such as Intel Cherrytrail with ACPI enumerated UARTs.
That said, on ACPI enabled platforms it might even call firmware for a job.

On the other hand pm_runtime_get() doesn't guarantee that device will become
powered on fast enough.

Besides that, imagine the case when console is about to print a kernel Oops and
it's powered off. In such an emergency case calling the complex functions is
not the best what we can do, taking into consideration that user wants to see
at least something of the last kernel word before it passes away.

Here we modify the 8250 console code to prevent runtime power management.

Note, there is a behaviour change for OMAP boards. It will require to detach
kernel console to become idle.

Commit e490c9144cfa ("tty: Add software emulated RS485 support for 8250")
introduced support to use RTS as an rs485 Transmit Enable signal.
So far the only drivers taking advantage of it are 8250_omap.c and
8250_of.c.

We're about to make use of the feature in 8250_bcm2835aux.c as well.
The bcm2835aux differs from omap chips by inverting the meaning of RTS
in the MCR register.  Moreover, omap achieves half-duplex mode by
disabling the RX interrupt and clearing the RX FIFO when TX stops.
The bcm2835aux requires disabling the receiver instead.

Support these behavioral differences by generalizing the rs485 emulation:
Introduce -&gt;rs485_start_tx() and -&gt;rs485_stop_tx() callbacks in struct
uart_8250_port, provide generic implementations containing the existing
code and use them as callbacks in 8250_omap.c and 8250_of.c.

start_tx_rs485() is idempotent in that it recognizes whether RTS is
already asserted.  Achieve the same by introducing a tx_stopped flag in
struct uart_8250_em485.  This may even perform a little better on arches
where memory access is faster than mmio access.
