commit b40de7469ef135161c80af0e8c462298cc5dac00 upstream.

The current implementation uses 0 as lower limit for the baud rate
tolerance for tegra20 and tegra30 chips which causes isses on UART
initialization as soon as baud rate clock is lower than required even
when within the standard UART tolerance of +/- 4%.

This fix aligns the implementation with the initial commit description
of +/- 4% tolerance for tegra chips other than tegra186 and
tegra194.

commit bb1201d4b38ec67bd9a871cf86b0cc10f28b15b5 upstream.

Have pericom_do_set_divisor() use the uartclk instead of a hard coded
value to work with different speed crystals. Tested with 14.7456 and 24
MHz crystals.

Have pericom_do_set_divisor() always calculate the divisor rather than
call serial8250_do_set_divisor() for rates below baud_base.

Do not write registers or call serial8250_do_set_divisor() if valid
divisors could not be found.

<title>serial: core: fix transmit-buffer reset and memleak</title>

commit 00de977f9e0aa9760d9a79d1e41ff780f74e3424 upstream.

Commit 761ed4a94582 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close") converted serial core to use tty_port_close() but
failed to notice that the transmit buffer still needs to be freed on
final close.

Not freeing the transmit buffer means that the buffer is no longer
cleared on next open so that any ioctl() waiting for the buffer to drain
might wait indefinitely (e.g. on termios changes) or that stale data can
end up being transmitted in case tx is restarted.

Furthermore, the buffer of any port that has been opened would leak on
driver unbind.

Note that the port lock is held when clearing the buffer pointer due to
the ldisc race worked around by commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race
between uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()").

Also note that the tty-port shutdown() callback is not called for
console ports so it is not strictly necessary to free the buffer page
after releasing the lock (cf. d72402145ace ("tty/serial: do not free
trasnmit buffer page under port lock")).

commit ac442a077acf9a6bf1db4320ec0c3f303be092b3 upstream.

The document 'ACPI for Arm Components 1.0' defines the following
_HID mappings:
-'Prime cell UART (PL011)': ARMH0011
-'SBSA UART': ARMHB000

Use the sbsa-uart driver when a device is described with
the 'ARMHB000' _HID.

Note:
PL011 devices currently use the sbsa-uart driver instead of the
uart-pl011 driver. Indeed, PL011 devices are not bound to a clock
in ACPI. It is not possible to change their baudrate.

commit 7492ffc90fa126afb67d4392d56cb4134780194a upstream.

The CONSOLE_POLLING mode is used for tools like k(g)db. In this kind of
setup, it is often sharing a serial device with the normal system console.
This is usually no problem because the polling helpers can consume input
values directly (when in kgdb context) and the normal Linux handlers can
only consume new input values after kgdb switched back.

This is not true anymore when RX DMA is enabled for UARTDM controllers.
Single input values can no longer be received correctly. Instead following
seems to happen:

* on 1. input, some old input is read (continuously)
* on 2. input, two old inputs are read (continuously)
* on 3. input, three old input values are read (continuously)
* on 4. input, 4 previous inputs are received

This repeats then for each group of 4 input values.

This behavior changes slightly depending on what state the controller was
when the first input was received. But this makes working with kgdb
basically impossible because control messages are always corrupted when
kgdboc tries to parse them.

RX DMA should therefore be off when CONSOLE_POLLING is enabled to avoid
these kind of problems. No such problem was noticed for TX DMA.

commit e679004dec37566f658a255157d3aed9d762a2b7 upstream.

Xen frontends shouldn't BUG() in case of illegal data received from
their backends. So replace the BUG_ON()s when reading illegal data from
the ring page with negative return values.

In the testcase pty04, The first process call the write syscall to send

flush_to_ldisc to pop data in a loop until there is no more data left.
When the sender and workqueue running in different core, the sender sends
data fastly in full time which will result in workqueue doing work in loop
for a long time and occuring softlockup in flush_to_ldisc with kernel
configured without preempt. So I add need_resched check and cond_resched
in the flush_to_ldisc loop to avoid it.

<title>serial: xilinx_uartps: Fix race condition causing stuck TX</title>

[ Upstream commit 88b20f84f0fe47409342669caf3e58a3fc64c316 ]

xilinx_uartps .start_tx() clears TXEMPTY when enabling TXEMPTY to avoid
any previous TXEVENT event asserting the UART interrupt. This clear
operation is done immediately after filling the TX FIFO.

However, if the bytes inserted by cdns_uart_handle_tx() are consumed by
the UART before the TXEMPTY is cleared, the clear operation eats the new
TXEMPTY event as well, causing cdns_uart_isr() to never receive the
TXEMPTY event. If there are bytes still queued in circbuf, TX will get
stuck as they will never get transferred to FIFO (unless new bytes are
queued to circbuf in which case .start_tx() is called again).

While the racy missed TXEMPTY occurs fairly often with short data
sequences (e.g. write 1 byte), in those cases circbuf is usually empty
so no action on TXEMPTY would have been needed anyway. On the other
hand, longer data sequences make the race much more unlikely as UART
takes longer to consume the TX FIFO. Therefore it is rare for this race
to cause visible issues in general.

Fix the race by clearing the TXEMPTY bit in ISR *before* filling the
FIFO.

The TXEMPTY bit in ISR will only get asserted at the exact moment the
TX FIFO *becomes* empty, so clearing the bit before filling FIFO does
not cause an extra immediate assertion even if the FIFO is initially
empty.

This is hard to reproduce directly on a normal system, but inserting
e.g. udelay(200) after cdns_uart_handle_tx(port), setting 4000000 baud,
and then running "dd if=/dev/zero bs=128 of=/dev/ttyPS0 count=50"
reliably reproduces the issue on my ZynqMP test system unless this fix
is applied.

ACPI_PTR() is more harmful than helpful. For example, in this case
if CONFIG_ACPI=n, the ID table left unused which is not what we want.

Instead of adding ifdeffery here and there, drop ACPI_PTR().
