Sealevel XR17V35X based devices are inoperable on kernel versions
4.11 and above due to a change in the GPIO preconfiguration introduced in
commit
7dea8165f1. This patch fixes this by preconfiguring the GPIO on Sealevel
cards to the value (0x00) used prior to commit 7dea8165f1
With GPIOs preconfigured as per commit 7dea8165f1 all ports on
Sealevel XR17V35X based devices become stuck in high impedance
mode, regardless of dip-switch or software configuration. This
causes the device to become effectively unusable. This patch (in
various forms) has been distributed to our customers and no issues
related to it have been reported.

Commit 7b668c064e ("serial: 8250: Fix max baud limit in generic 8250
port") fixed limits of a baud rate setting for a generic 8250 port.
In other words since that commit the baud rate has been permitted to be
within [uartclk / 16 / UART_DIV_MAX; uartclk / 16], which is absolutely
normal for a standard 8250 UART port. But there are custom 8250 ports,
which provide extended baud rate limits. In particular the Mediatek 8250
port can work with baud rates up to "uartclk" speed.
Normally that and any other peculiarity is supposed to be handled in a
custom set_termios() callback implemented in the vendor-specific
8250-port glue-driver. Currently that is how it's done for the most of
the vendor-specific 8250 ports, but for some reason for Mediatek a
solution has been spread out to both the glue-driver and to the generic
8250-port code. Due to that a bug has been introduced, which permitted the
extended baud rate limit for all even for standard 8250-ports. The bug
has been fixed by the commit 7b668c064e ("serial: 8250: Fix max baud
limit in generic 8250 port") by narrowing the baud rates limit back down to
the normal bounds. Unfortunately by doing so we also broke the
Mediatek-specific extended bauds feature.
A fix of the problem described above is twofold. First since we can't get
back the extended baud rate limits feature to the generic set_termios()
function and that method supports only a standard baud rates range, the
requested baud rate must be locally stored before calling it and then
restored back to the new termios structure after the generic set_termios()
finished its magic business. By doing so we still use the
serial8250_do_set_termios() method to set the LCR/MCR/FCR/etc. registers,
while the extended baud rate setting procedure will be performed later in
the custom Mediatek-specific set_termios() callback. Second since a true
baud rate is now fully calculated in the custom set_termios() method we
need to locally update the port timeout by calling the
uart_update_timeout() function. After the fixes described above are
implemented in the 8250_mtk.c driver, the Mediatek 8250-port should
get back to normally working with extended baud rates.

The problems started with the revert (18cc7ac8a2). The
cdns_uart_console.index is statically assigned -1. When the port is
registered, Linux assigns consecutive numbers to it. It turned out that
when using ttyPS1 as console, the index is not updated as we are reusing
the same cdns_uart_console instance for multiple ports. When registering
ttyPS0, it gets updated from -1 to 0, but when registering ttyPS1, it
already is 0 and not updated.
That led to 2ae11c46d5. It assigns the index prior to registering
the uart_driver once. Unfortunately, that ended up breaking the
situation where the probe order does not match the id order. When using
the same device tree for both uboot and linux, it is important that the
serial0 alias points to the console. So some boards reverse those
aliases. This was reported by Jan Kiszka. The proposed fix was reverting
the index assignment and going back to the previous iteration.
However such a reversed assignement (serial0 -> uart1, serial1 -> uart0)
was already partially broken by the revert (18cc7ac8a2). While the
ttyPS device works, the kmsg connection is already broken and kernel
messages go missing. Reverting the id assignment does not fix this.
>From the xilinx_uartps driver pov (after reverting the refactoring
commits), there can be only one console. This manifests in static
variables console_pprt and cdns_uart_console. These variables are not
properly linked and can go out of sync. The cdns_uart_console.index is
important for uart_add_one_port. We call that function for each port -
one of which hopefully is the console. If it isn't, the CON_ENABLED flag
is not set and console_port is cleared. The next cdns_uart_probe call
then tries to register the next port using that same cdns_uart_console.
It is important that console_port and cdns_uart_console (and its index
in particular) stay in sync. The index assignment implemented by
Shubhrajyoti Datta is correct in principle. It just may have to happen a
second time if the first cdns_uart_probe call didn't encounter the
console device. And we shouldn't change the index once the console uart
is registered.

syzbot is reporting general protection fault in do_con_write() [1] caused
by vc->vc_screenbuf == ZERO_SIZE_PTR caused by vc->vc_screenbuf_size == 0
caused by vc->vc_cols == vc->vc_rows == vc->vc_size_row == 0 caused by
fb_set_var() from ioctl(FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO) on /dev/fb0 , for

causes vc->vc_pos == 0x10000000e due to
((unsigned long) ZERO_SIZE_PTR) + -1U * 0 + (-1U << 1).
I don't think that a console with 0 column or 0 row makes sense. And it
seems that vc_do_resize() does not intend to allow resizing a console to
0 column or 0 row due to
new_cols = (cols ? cols : vc->vc_cols);
new_rows = (lines ? lines : vc->vc_rows);
exception.
Theoretically, cols and rows can be any range as long as
0 < cols * rows * 2 <= KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is satisfied (e.g.
cols == 1048576 && rows == 2 is possible) because of
vc->vc_size_row = vc->vc_cols << 1;
vc->vc_screenbuf_size = vc->vc_rows * vc->vc_size_row;
in visual_init() and kzalloc(vc->vc_screenbuf_size) in vc_allocate().
Since we can detect cols == 0 or rows == 0 via screenbuf_size = 0 in
visual_init(), we can reject kzalloc(0). Then, vc_allocate() will return
an error, and con_write() will not be called on a console with 0 column
or 0 row.
We need to make sure that integer overflow in visual_init() won't happen.
Since vc_do_resize() restricts cols <= 32767 and rows <= 32767, applying
1 <= cols <= 32767 and 1 <= rows <= 32767 restrictions to vc_allocate()
will be practically fine.
This patch does not touch con_init(), for returning -EINVAL there
does not help when we are not returning -ENOMEM.

prevent reinitialisation of the lock in use, when user detaches and
attaches back the same console device. But this change discovers
another issue, that uart_add_one_port() tries to access a spin lock
that now may be uninitialised. This happens when a driver expects
the serial core to register a console on its behalf. In this case
we must initialise a spin lock before use.

also on systems without CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL instead of being

Inlining these helpers again also avoids the function call overhead when

In kgdb context, calling console handlers aren't safe due to locks used
in those handlers which could in turn lead to a deadlock. Although, using
oops_in_progress increases the chance to bypass locks in most console
handlers but it might not be sufficient enough in case a console uses
more locks (VT/TTY is good example).
Currently when a driver provides both polling I/O and a console then kdb
will output using the console. We can increase robustness by using the
currently active polling I/O driver (which should be lockless) instead
of the corresponding console. For several common cases (e.g. an
embedded system with a single serial port that is used both for console
output and debugger I/O) this will result in no console handler being
used.
In order to achieve this we need to reverse the order of preference to
use dbg_io_ops (uses polling I/O mode) over console APIs. So we just
store "struct console" that represents debugger I/O in dbg_io_ops and
while emitting kdb messages, skip console that matches dbg_io_ops
console in order to avoid duplicate messages. After this change,
"is_console" param becomes redundant and hence removed.

By far the biggest change in this cycle are the changes that allow much

of the earlycon framework to implement the kgdb I/O hooks before handing
over to the regular polling I/O drivers once they are available. When
discussing Doug's work we also found and fixed an broken
raw_smp_processor_id() sequence in in_dbg_master().
Also included are a collection of much smaller fixes and tweaks: a
couple of tweaks to ged rid of doc gen or coccicheck warnings, future
proof some internal calculations that made implicit power-of-2
assumptions and eliminate some rather weird handling of magic
environment variables in kdb.

Pull kgdb updates from Daniel Thompson:
"By far the biggest change in this cycle are the changes that allow
much earlier debug of systems that are hooked up via UART by taking
advantage of the earlycon framework to implement the kgdb I/O hooks
before handing over to the regular polling I/O drivers once they are
available. When discussing Doug's work we also found and fixed an
broken raw_smp_processor_id() sequence in in_dbg_master().
Also included are a collection of much smaller fixes and tweaks: a
couple of tweaks to ged rid of doc gen or coccicheck warnings, future
proof some internal calculations that made implicit power-of-2
assumptions and eliminate some rather weird handling of magic
environment variables in kdb"

Currently there is no guarantee that an earlycon will be initialized
before kgdboc tries to adopt it. Almost the opposite: on systems
with ACPI then if earlycon has no arguments then it is guaranteed that
earlycon will not be initialized.
This patch mitigates the problem by giving kgdboc_earlycon a second
chance during console_init(). This isn't quite as good as stopping during
early parameter parsing but it is still early in the kernel boot.

When kgdboc is compiled as a module all of the "ekgdboc" and
"kgdb_earlycon" code isn't useful and, in fact, breaks compilation.
This is because early_param() isn't defined for modules and that's how
this code gets configured.
It turns out that this was broken by commit eae3e19ca9 ("kgdboc:
Remove useless #ifdef CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE in kgdboc") and then
made worse by commit 220995622d ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to
support early kgdb using boot consoles"). I guess the #ifdef wasn't
so useless, even if it wasn't obvious why it was useful. When kgdboc
was compiled as a module only "CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE_MODULE" was
defined, not "CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE". That meant that the old
module.
Let's basically do the same thing that the old code (pre-removal of
the #ifdef) did but use "IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE)" to
make it more obvious what the point of the check is. We'll fix
kgdboc_earlycon in a similar way.

To support BT use case over UART at baud rate of 3.2 Mbps,
we need SE clocks to run at 51.2MHz frequency. Previously this
frequency was not available in clk src, so, we were requesting
for 102.4 MHz and dividing it internally by 2 to get 51.2MHz.
As now 51.2MHz frequency is made available in clk src,
adding this frequency to UART frequency table.
We will save significant amount of power, if 51.2 is used
because it belongs to LowSVS range whereas 102.4 fall into
Nominal category.

Commit e8759ad17d ("serial: uapi: Add support for bus termination")
introduced the ability to enable rs485 bus termination from user space.
So far the feature is only used by a single driver, 8250_exar.c, using a
hardcoded GPIO pin specific to Siemens IOT2040 products.
Provide for a more generic solution by allowing specification of an
rs485 bus termination GPIO pin in the device tree: Amend the serial
core to retrieve the GPIO from the device tree (or ACPI table) and amend
the default ->rs485_config() callback for 8250 drivers to change the
GPIO on request from user space.
Perhaps 8250_exar.c can be converted to the generic approach in a
follow-up patch.

hvc_open sets tty->driver_data to NULL when open fails at some point.
Typically, the failure happens in hp->ops->notifier_add(). If there is
a racing process which tries to open such mangled tty, which was not
closed yet, the process will crash in hvc_open as tty->driver_data is
NULL.
All this happens because close wants to know whether open failed or not.
But ->open should not NULL this and other tty fields for ->close to be
happy. ->open should call tty_port_set_initialized(true) and close
should check by tty_port_initialized() instead. So do this properly in
this driver.
So this patch removes these from ->open:
* tty_port_tty_set(&hp->port, NULL). This happens on last close.
* tty->driver_data = NULL. Dtto.
* tty_port_put(&hp->port). This happens in shutdown and until now, this
must have been causing a reference underflow, if I am not missing
something.

We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel.
Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel
and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late
in the boot process.
Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console. Let's
enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early
debugging.
This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part
of "struct console". It's assumed that if a boot console (with the
flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write()
function are polling functions. That means they work without
interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if
there's nothing to read. This should be a safe assumption since it
appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and
there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support
"kgdboc_earlycon".
The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use
"kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together. You should point them both
to the same physical serial connection. At boot time, as the system
transitions from the boot console to the normal console (and registers
a tty), kgdb will switch over.
One awkward part of all this, though, is that there can be a window
where the boot console goes away and we can't quite transtion over to
the main kgdboc that uses the tty layer. There are two main problems:
1. The act of registering the tty doesn't cause any call into kgdboc
so there is a window of time when the tty is there but kgdboc's
init code hasn't been called so we can't transition to it.
2. On some serial drivers the normal console inits (and replaces the
boot console) quite early in the system. Presumably these drivers
were coded up before earlycon worked as well as it does today and
probably they don't need to do this anymore, but it causes us
problems nontheless.
Problem #1 is not too big of a deal somewhat due to the luck of probe
ordering. kgdboc is last in the tty/serial/Makefile so its probe gets
right after all other tty devices. It's not fun to rely on this, but
it does work for the most part.
Problem #2 is a big deal, but only for some serial drivers. Other
serial drivers end up registering the console (which gets rid of the
boot console) and tty at nearly the same time.
The way we'll deal with the window when the system has stopped using
the boot console and the time when we're setup using the tty is to
keep using the boot console. This may sound surprising, but it has
been found to work well in practice. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't
be too hard for a given serial driver to make it keep working.
Specifically, it's expected that the read()/write() function provided
in the boot console should be the same (or nearly the same) as the
normal kgdb polling functions. That means continuing to use them
should work just fine. To make things even more likely to work work
we'll also trap the recently added exit() function in the boot console
we're using and delay any calls to it until we're all done with the
boot console.
NOTE: there could be ways to use all this in weird / unexpected ways.
If you do something like this, it's a bit of a buyer beware situation.
Specifically:
- If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" then
(depending on your serial driver) things will probably work OK, but
you'll get a warning printed the first time you use kgdb after the
boot console is gone. You'd only be able to do this, of course, if
the serial driver you're running atop provided an early boot console.
- If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same
device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over
which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch
over gdb in-flight if you're using it).
When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the
names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty
layer are not the same for the same port. For example when debugging
on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni
kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly. Since digging up the boot
console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot
console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter
without specifying the name of the boot console. In this case we'll
just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find.
This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the
existing "ekgdboc" parameter. While both provide a way to debug very
early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different. Specifically
"kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and
there is a transition from one to the other. The "ekgdboc" parameter,
on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter. It runs the same
logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver
being present super early. The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc"
parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga". It should
be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as
a tty device.
