The newly added meson_uart_enable_tx_engine function is only called
from the console setup, not the runtime uart, which has an open-coded
version of the same register access. This produces a harmless warning
when the console code is disabled:
drivers/tty/serial/meson_uart.c:127:13: error: 'meson_uart_enable_tx_engine' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
Let's move the function inside of the #ifdef to avoid the warning.

Add a new interface for registering a serdev controller and clients, and
a helper function to deregister serdev devices (or a tty device) that
were previously registered using the new interface.
Once every driver currently using the tty_port_register_device() helpers
have been vetted and converted to use the new serdev registration
interface (at least for deregistration), we can move serdev registration
to the current helpers and get rid of the serdev-specific functions.

With serdev we might end up with serial ports that have no cdev exported
to userspace, as they are used as the bus interface to other devices. In
that case serial_match_port() won't be able to find a matching tty_dev.
Skip the irq wakeup enabling in that case, as serdev will make sure to
keep the port active, as long as there are devices depending on it.

tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() is racy against itself when called
from the ioctl(TCXONC, TCION/TCIOFF) path [1] and the flush_to_ldisc()
workqueue path [2].
The problem is that port->buf.tail->used is modified without consistent
locking; the ioctl path takes tty->atomic_write_lock, whereas the workqueue
path takes ldata->output_lock.
We cannot simply take ldata->output_lock, since that is specific to the
N_TTY line discipline.
It might seem natural to try to take port->buf.lock inside
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() and friends (where port->buf is
actually used/modified), but this creates problems for flush_to_ldisc()
which takes it before grabbing tty->ldisc_sem, o_tty->termios_rwsem,
and ldata->output_lock.
Therefore, the simplest solution for now seems to be to take
tty->atomic_write_lock inside tty_port_default_receive_buf(). This lock
is also used in the write path [3] with a consistent ordering.

After migrating 8250_exar to MSI in 172c33cb61da, we can get stuck
without further interrupts because of the special wake-up event these
chips send. They are only cleared by reading INT0. As we fail to do so
during startup and shutdown, we can leave the interrupt line asserted,
which is fatal with edge-triggered MSIs.
Add the required reading of INT0 to startup and shutdown. Also account
for the fact that a pending wake-up interrupt means we have to return 1
from exar_handle_irq. Drop the unneeded reading of INT1..3 along with
this - those never reset anything.
An alternative approach would have been disabling the wake-up interrupt.
Unfortunately, this feature (REGB[17] = 1) is not available on the
XR17D15X.

The port client data must be set when registering the serdev controller
or client deregistration will fail (and the serdev devices are left
registered and allocated) if the port was never opened in between.
Make sure to clear the port client data on any probe errors to avoid a
use-after-free when the client is later deregistered unconditionally
(e.g. in a tty-port deregistration helper).
Also move port client operation initialisation to registration. Note
that the client ops must be restored on failed probe.

This reverts commit 8ee3fde047589dc9c201251f07d0ca1dc776feca.
The new serdev bus hooked into the tty layer in
tty_port_register_device() by registering a serdev controller instead of
a tty device whenever a serdev client is present, and by deregistering
the controller in the tty-port destructor. This is broken in several
ways:
Firstly, it leads to a NULL-pointer dereference whenever a tty driver
later deregisters its devices as no corresponding character device will
exist.
Secondly, far from every tty driver uses tty-port refcounting (e.g.
serial core) so the serdev devices might never be deregistered or
deallocated.
Thirdly, deregistering at tty-port destruction is too late as the
underlying device and structures may be long gone by then. A port is not
released before an open tty device is closed, something which a
registered serdev client can prevent from ever happening. A driver
callback while the device is gone typically also leads to crashes.
Many tty drivers even keep their ports around until the driver is
unloaded (e.g. serial core), something which even if a late callback
never happens, leads to leaks if a device is unbound from its driver and
is later rebound.
The right solution here is to add a new tty_port_unregister_device()
helper and to never call tty_device_unregister() whenever the port has
been claimed by serdev, but since this requires modifying just about
every tty driver (and multiple subsystems) it will need to be done
incrementally.
Reverting the offending patch is the first step in fixing the broken
lifetime assumptions. A follow-up patch will add a new pair of
tty-device registration helpers, which a vetted tty driver can use to
support serdev (initially serial core). When every tty driver uses the
serdev helpers (at least for deregistration), we can add serdev
registration to tty_port_register_device() again.
Note that this also fixes another issue with serdev, which currently
allocates and registers a serdev controller for every tty device
registered using tty_port_device_register() only to immediately
deregister and deallocate it when the corresponding OF node or serdev
child node is missing. This should be addressed before enabling serdev
for hot-pluggable buses.

Commit fa01e2ca9f53 ("serial: 8250: Integrate Fintek into 8250_base")
modified the probing logic for PNP0501 devices, to remove a collision
between the generic 16550A driver and the Fintek driver, which reused
the same ACPI _HID.
The Fintek device probe is now incorporated into the common 8250 probe
path, and gets called for all discovered 16550A compatible devices,
including ones that are MMIO mapped rather than IO mapped. However,
the Fintek driver assumes the port base is a I/O address, and proceeds
to probe some arbitrary offsets above it.
This is generally a wrong thing to do, but on ARM systems (having no
native port I/O), this may result in faulting accesses of completely
unrelated MMIO regions in the PCI I/O space. Given that this is at
serial probe time, this results in hard to diagnose crashes at boot.
So let's restrict the Fintek probe to devices that we know are using
port I/O in the first place.

If DMA is enabled and used, a burst of old data may be seen on the

clears the circular buffer, but sci_port.tx_dma_len is not reset.
This leads to a circular buffer overflow, dumping (UART_XMIT_SIZE -

To fix this, add a .flush_buffer() callback that resets
sci_port.tx_dma_len.

This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART
device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device
probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too.
The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual
serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller)
and one is on the host CPU side.
This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC
userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at
what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host
on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system
(though most of them use 3f8/4).
OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the
VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard
mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind
to the device, and clear it on unbind.
We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this
bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether
the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

Kernel always writes log messages to console via
serial8250_console_write()->serial8250_console_putchar() which directly
accesses UART_TX register _without_ using DMA.
But, if other processes like systemd using same UART port, then these
writes are handled by a different code flow using 8250_omap driver where
there is provision to use DMA.
It seems that it is possible that both DMA and CPU might simultaneously
put data to UART FIFO and lead to potential loss of data due to FIFO
overflow and weird data corruption. This happens when both kernel
console and userspace tries to write simultaneously to the same UART
port. Therefore, disable DMA on kernel console port to avoid potential
race between CPU and DMA.

This adds spk_ttyio.c file. It contains a set of functions which implement
those methods in spk_synth struct which relate to sending bytes out using
serial comms. Implementations in this file perform the same function but
using TTY subsystem instead. Currently synths access serial ports, directly
poking standard ISA ports by trying to steal them from serial driver. Some ISA
cards actually need this way of doing it, but most other synthesizers don't,
and can actually work by using the proper TTY subsystem through a new N_SPEAKUP
line discipline. So this adds the methods for drivers to switch to accessing
serial ports through the TTY subsystem, whenever appropriate.

This exports tty_open_by_driver so that it can be called from other
places inside the kernel. The checks for null file pointer are based on
Alan Cox's patch here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1215095.html.
Description below is quoted from it:
"[RFC] tty_port: allow a port to be opened with a tty that has no file handle
Let us create tty objects entirely in kernel space. Untested proposal to
show why all the ideas around rewriting half the uart stack are not needed.
With this a kernel created non file backed tty object could be used to handle
data, and set terminal modes. Not all ldiscs can cope with this as N_TTY in
particular has to work back to the fs/tty layer.
The tty_port code is however otherwise clean of file handles as far as I can
tell as is the low level tty port write path used by the ldisc, the
configuration low level interfaces and most of the ldiscs.
Currently you don't have any exposure to see tty hangups because those are
built around the file layer. However a) it's a fixed port so you probably
don't care about that b) if you do we can add a callback and c) you almost
certainly don't want the userspace tear down/rebuild behaviour anyway.
This should however be sufficient if we wanted for example to enumerate all
the bluetooth bound fixed ports via ACPI and make them directly available.
It doesn't deal with the case of a user opening a port that's also kernel
opened and that would need some locking out (so it returned EBUSY if bound
to a kernel device of some kind). That needs resolving along with how you
"up" or "down" your new bluetooth device, or enumerate it while providing
the existing tty API to avoid regressions (and to debug)."
The exported funtion is used later in this patch set to gain access to tty_struct.

Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
"Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources
including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.
This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module
parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access
to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under
UEFI secure boot conditions.
Annotations are made by changing:
module_param(n, t, p)
module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
module_param_array(n, t, m, p)
to:
module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)
where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting
hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can
be one of:
ioport Module parameter configures an I/O port
iomem Module parameter configures an I/O mem address
ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set)
irq Module parameter configures an I/O port
dma Module parameter configures a DMA channel
dma_addr Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address
other Module parameter configures some other value
Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the
lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for
future use.
A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping.
The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set
annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to
options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or
direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files.
The module initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being
set, by (1) giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a
reasonable default.
What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may
take a hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important
modules, some ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and
allow hardware to be manually specified; if the driver is aborts with
any error, you don't get any ipmi hardware.
Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code
doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling.
[!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no
effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is
left to a patch in the next series to effect. It does mark
annotated kernel parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in
an already existing field"

While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer. This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.
As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

Tetsuo has reported that sysrq triggered OOM killer will print a
misleading information when no tasks are selected:
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
Out of memory: Kill process 4468 ((agetty)) score 0 or sacrifice child
Killed process 4468 ((agetty)) total-vm:43704kB, anon-rss:1760kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
Out of memory: Kill process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) score 0 or sacrifice child
Killed process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) total-vm:10704kB, anon-rss:120kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
The real reason is that there are no eligible tasks for the OOM killer
to select but since commit 7c5f64f84483 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim
selection code for memcg and global oom") the semantic of out_of_memory
has changed without updating moom_callback.
This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which
is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks. In
order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both
oom_killer_{enable,disable}. This information is useful on its own
because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.
Fixes: 7c5f64f84483 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim selection code for memcg and global oom")

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.
To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.
Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.
This patch annotates drivers in drivers/tty/.
