a88108e90c serial: core: Allow processing sysrq at port unlock time
[ Upstream commit d6e1935819db0c91ce4a5af82466f3ab50d17346 ]

Right now serial drivers process sysrq keys deep in their character
receiving code.  This means that they've already grabbed their
port->lock spinlock.  This can end up getting in the way if we've go
to do serial stuff (especially kgdb) in response to the sysrq.

Serial drivers have various hacks in them to handle this.  Looking at
'8250_port.c' you can see that the console_write() skips locking if
we're in the sysrq handler.  Looking at 'msm_serial.c' you can see
that the port lock is dropped around uart_handle_sysrq_char().

It turns out that these hacks aren't exactly perfect.  If you have
lockdep turned on and use something like the 8250_port hack you'll get
a splat that looks like:

  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  [...] is trying to acquire lock:
  ... (console_owner){-.-.}, at: console_unlock+0x2e0/0x5e4

  but task is already holding lock:
  ... (&port_lock_key){-.-.}, at: serial8250_handle_irq+0x30/0xe4

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

  other info that might help us debug this:

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(&port_lock_key);
                                 lock(console_owner);
                                 lock(&port_lock_key);
    lock(console_owner);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

The hack used in 'msm_serial.c' doesn't cause the above splats but it
seems a bit ugly to unlock / lock our spinlock deep in our irq
handler.

It seems like we could defer processing the sysrq until the end of the
interrupt handler right after we've unlocked the port.  With this
scheme if a whole batch of sysrq characters comes in one irq then we
won't handle them all, but that seems like it should be a fine
compromise.

4d54f0fbed UPSTREAM: tty: serial_core: add tty NULL check to uart_tx_stopped
Commit 761ed4a94582 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close") created a case where a port used for a console does not
get shutdown on tty closing. Then a call to uart_tx_stopped() segfaults
because the tty is NULL. This could be fixed to restore old behavior,
but we also want to allow tty_ports to work without a tty attached. So
this change to allow a NULL tty_struct is needed either way.

848487ca07 earlycon: Use common framework for earlycon declarations
Use a single common table of struct earlycon_id for both command line
and devicetree. Re-define OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() macro to instance a
unique earlycon declaration (the declaration is only guaranteed to be
unique within a compilation unit; separate compilation units must still
use unique earlycon names).

The semantics of OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() is different; it declares an
earlycon which can matched either on the command line or by devicetree.
EARLYCON_DECLARE() is semantically unchanged; it declares an earlycon
which is matched by command line only. Remove redundant instances of
EARLYCON_DECLARE().

This enables all earlycons to properly initialize struct console
with the appropriate name and index, which improves diagnostics and
enables direct earlycon-to-console handoff.

470ca0de69 serial: earlycon: Enable earlycon without command line param
Earlycon matching can only be triggered if 'earlycon=...' has been
specified on the kernel command line. To workaround this limitation
requires tight coupling between arches and specific serial drivers
in order to start an earlycon. Devicetree avoids this limitation
with a link table that contains the required data to match earlycons.

Mirror this approach for earlycon match by name. Re-purpose
EARLYCON_DECLARE to generate a table entry which associates name with
setup() function. Re-purpose setup_earlycon() to scan this table for
an earlycon match, which is registered if found.

Declare one "earlycon" early_param, which calls setup_earlycon().

This design allows setup_earlycon() to be called directly with a
param string (as if 'earlycon=...' had been set on the command line).
Re-registration (either directly or by early_param) is prevented.

959801fef9 serial: core: Add minor field to uart_port
UART drivers that share ttyS namespace cannot trivially compute the
ttyS index from the port->line value since the minor_start may be
offset from minor 64. Further, to do so requires a pointer to the
uart driver since there is no back pointer from uart_port to
uart_driver.

Rather than have UART drivers computing the minor value by themselves,
encapsulate within the serial core at port registration time.

ioctl(TIOCGSERIAL|TIOCSSERIAL) report and can change the port->iotype.
UART drivers use the UPIO_* definitions, but the uapi header defines
parallel values and userspace uses these parallel values for ioctls;
thus the userspace values are definitive.

Define UPIO_* iotypes in terms of the uapi defines, SERIAL_IO_*;
extend the uapi defines to include all values in use by the serial
core.

391f93f2ec serial: core: Rework hw-assisted flow control support
hw-assisted flow control support was added to the serial core
in v3.8 with commits,
dba05832cb ("SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted h/w flow control support")
2cbacafd7a ("SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted s/w flow control support")
9aba8d5b01 ("SERIAL: core: add throttle/unthrottle callbacks for hardware
                assisted flow control")
Since then, additional requirements for serial core support have arisen.
Specifically,
1. Separate tx and rx flow control settings for UARTs which only support
   tx flow control (ie., autoCTS).
2. Disable sw-assisted CTS flow control in autoCTS mode
3. Support for RTS flow control by serial core and userspace in autoRTS mode

Distinguish mode from capability; introduce UPSTAT_AUTORTS, UPSTAT_AUTOCTS
and UPSTAT_AUTOXOFF which, when set by the uart driver, enable serial core
support for hw-assisted rx, hw-assisted tx and hw-assisted in-band/IXOFF
rx flow control, respectively. [Note: hw-assisted in-band/IXON tx flow
control does not require serial core support/intervention and can be
enabled by the uart driver when required.]

These modes must be set/reset in the driver's set_termios() method, based
on termios settings, and thus can be safely queried in any context in which
one of the port lock, port mutex or termios rwsem are held. Set these modes
in the 2 in-tree drivers, omap-serial and 8250_omap, which currently
use UPF_HARD_FLOW/UPF_SOFT_FLOW support.

Retain UPF_HARD_FLOW and UPF_SOFT_FLOW as capabilities; re-define
UPF_HARD_FLOW as both UPF_AUTO_RTS and UPF_AUTO_CTS to allow for distinct
and separate rx and tx flow control capabilities.

Disable sw-assisted CTS flow control when UPSTAT_AUTOCTS is enabled.

4bf4ea9dca serial: omap_8250: Fix RTS handling
The OMAP3 UART ignores MCR[1] (ie., UART_MCR_RTS) when in autoRTS
mode (UPF_HARD_FLOW + CRTSCTS). This makes it impossible for either
the serial core or userspace to manually flow control the sender.

Disable autoRTS mode when RTS is lowered and restore the previous
mode when RTS is raised.

Note that the OMAP3 UART provides no mechanism for switching from
autoRTS mode without corrupting incoming data; to access the
necessary register, the line control settings must be set to 8-e-2
and thus any data received during that time will be interpreted with
those settings. This corruption has been observed in practice.

The following drivers: 8250_core, atmel_serial, max310x, mcf, omap-serial
and sci16is7xx implement code to handle RS485 ioctls.

In order to avoid code duplication, we implement a simple ioctl handler
on the serial_core layer.

This handler can be used by all the other drivers instead of duplicating
code.

Until this is the only RS485 ioctl handler, it will try first the
rs485_config callback and if it is not present it will call the driver
specific ioctl.

904326ecac tty,serial: Unify UPF_* and ASYNC_* flag definitions
The userspace-defined ASYNC_* flags in include/uapi/linux/tty_flags.h
are the authoritative bit definitions for the serial_struct flags,

Although the serial core provides the TIOCSSERIAL and TIOCGSERIAL
ioctls to set and retrieve these flags from userspace, it defines these
bits independently, as UPF_* macros.

Define the UPF_* macros which are userspace-modifiable directly from
the ASYNC_* symbolic constants. Add compile-time test to ensure the
bits changeable by TIOCSSERIAL match the defined range in the uapi
header.

Add ASYNCB_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER to the uapi header since this bit is

The apropriate way to set wakeups in the kernel is to have a
code snippet like this in .suspend() or .runtime_suspend()
callbacks:

static int foo_suspend(struct device *dev)
{
	if (device_may_wakeup(dev)) {
		/* Enable wakeups, set internal states */

The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of

to its breakage.

The previous patches fixed the crashing.  This one reduces coupling further
by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method.
This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic,
and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the
ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

c7f3e7087a tty/serial/core: Introduce poll_init callback
It was noticed that polling drivers (like KGDB) are not able to use
serial ports if the ports were not previously initialized via console.
I.e.  when booting with console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0, everything works
fine, but with console=ttyFOO kgdboc=ttyAMA0, the kgdboc doesn't work.

This is because we don't initialize the hardware. Calling ->startup() is
not an option, because drivers request interrupts there, and drivers
fail to handle situations when tty isn't opened with interrupts enabled.

So, we have to implement a new callback (actually, tty_ops already have
a similar callback), which does everything needed to initialize just the
hardware.

bf03f65b79 tegra, serial8250: add ->handle_break() uart_port op
The "KT" serial port has another use case for a "received break" quirk,
so before adding another special case to the 8250 core take this
opportunity to push such quirks out of the core and into a uart_port op.

Stephen says:
"If the callback function is to no longer live in 8250.c itself,
 arch/arm/mach-tegra/devices.c isn't logically a good place to put it,
 and that file will be going away once we get rid of all the board files
 and move solely to device tree."

...so since 8250_pci.c houses all the quirks for pci serial devices this
quirk is similarly housed in of_serial.c.  Once the open firmware
conversion completes the infrastructure details
(include/linux/of_serial.h, and the export) can all be removed to make
this self contained to of_serial.c.

bc02d15a34 serial/8250_pci: add a "force background timer" flag and use it for the "kt" serial port
Workaround dropped notifications in the iir register.  Register reads
coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this
device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read
data.

The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device
has an untrustworthy iir register.  In this case when we apriori know
that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and
force usage of the background timer.

49b532f96f Revert "serial/8250_pci: setup-quirk workaround for the kt serial controller"
This reverts commit 448ac154c9.

The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race
condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of
interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events.  An modem status event at the
wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status
leading to a hang.  So, revert this in preparation for using the
existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core
(UART_BUG_THRE).

927353a756 serial: introduce generic port in/out helpers
Looking at the existing serial drivers (esp. the 8250 derived
variants) we see a common trend.  They create a hardware specific
port struct, which in turn contains a generic serial_port struct.

The other trend, is that they all create some sort of shortcut
to go through the hardware specific struct, to the serial_port
struct, which has the basic in/out operations within.  Looking
for the serial_in and serial_out in several drivers shows this.

Rather than let this continue, lets create a generic set of
similar helper wrappers that can be used on a struct port, so
we can eliminate bouncing out through hardware specific struct
pointers just to come back into struct port where possible.
