[ Upstream commit 801410b26a0e8b8a16f7915b2b55c9528b69ca87 ]

During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.

In particular, for setup() we have:

univ8250_console_setup()
-> serial8250_console_setup()
-> uart_set_options()
-> serial8250_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_divisor()

For config_port() we have:

serial8250_config_port()
-> autoconfig()

For pm() we have:

serial8250_pm()
-> serial8250_do_pm()
-> serial8250_set_sleep()

For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):

serial8250_set_mctrl()
-> omap8250_set_mctrl()
-> __omap8250_set_mctrl()

To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.

Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().

[ Upstream commit d04d5882cd678b898a9d7c5aee6afbe9e6e77fcd ]

The commit d51507098ff91 ("printk: disable optimistic spin
during panic") added checks to avoid becoming a console waiter
if a panic is in progress.

However, the transition to panic can occur while there is
already a waiter. The current owner should not pass the lock to
the waiter because it might get stopped or blocked anytime.

Also the panic context might pass the console lock owner to an
already stopped waiter by mistake. It might happen when
console_flush_on_panic() ignores the current lock owner, for
example:

CPU0                                CPU1
----                                ----
console_lock_spinning_enable()
                                    console_trylock_spinning()
                                      [CPU1 now console waiter]
NMI: panic()
  panic_other_cpus_shutdown()
                                    [stopped as console waiter]
  console_flush_on_panic()
    console_lock_spinning_enable()
    [print 1 record]
    console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check()
      [handover to stopped CPU1]

This results in panic() not flushing the panic messages.

Fix these problems by disabling all spinning operations
completely during panic().

Another advantage is that it prevents possible deadlocks caused
by "console_owner_lock". The panic() context does not need to
take it any longer. The lockless checks are safe because the
functions become NOPs when they see the panic in progress. All
operations manipulating the state are still synchronized by the
lock even when non-panic CPUs would notice the panic
synchronously.

The current owner might stay spinning. But non-panic() CPUs
would get stopped anyway and the panic context will never start
spinning.

Commit 9e70a5e109a4 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state")
removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with
the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms.

However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect
of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no
longer flushed before checking their progress.

Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning
of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking
their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional
usage of the console lock.

Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages
since the commit dbdda842fe96f89 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
logic to load balance console writes").
