      8250: Fix race condition in serial8250_backup_timeout(). · dbb3b1ca
      Al Cooper 提交于
      This is to fix an issue where output will suddenly become very slow.
      The problem occurs on 8250 UARTS with the hardware bug UART_BUG_THRE.
      
      BACKGROUND
      For normal UARTs (without UART_BUG_THRE): When the serial core layer
      gets new transmit data and the transmitter is idle, it buffers the
      data and calls the 8250s' serial8250_start_tx() routine which will
      simply enable the TX interrupt in the IER register and return. This
      should immediately fire a THRE interrupt and begin transmitting the
      data.
      For buggy UARTs (with UART_BUG_THRE): merely enabling the TX interrupt
      in IER does not necessarily generate a new THRE interrupt.
      Therefore, a background timer periodically checks to see if there is
      pending data, and starts transmission if that is the case.
      
      The bug happens on SMP systems when the system has nothing to transmit,
      the transmit interrupt is disabled and the following sequence occurs:
      - CPU0: The background timer routine serial8250_backup_timeout()
        starts and saves the state of the interrupt enable register (IER)
        and then disables all interrupts in IER. NOTE: The transmit interrupt
        (TI) bit is saved as disabled.
      - CPU1: The serial core gets data to transmit, grabs the port lock and
        calls serial8250_start_tx() which enables the TI in IER.
      - CPU0: serial8250_backup_timeout() waits for the port lock.
      - CPU1: finishes (with TI enabled) and releases the port lock.
      - CPU0: serial8250_backup_timeout() calls the interrupt routine which
        will transmit the next fifo's worth of data and then restores the
        IER from the previously saved value (TI disabled).
      At this point, as long as the serial core has more transmit data
      buffered, it will not call serial8250_start_tx() again and the
      background timer routine will slowly transmit the data.
      
      The fix is to have serial8250_start_tx() get the port lock before
      it saves the IER state and release it after restoring IER. This will
      prevent serial8250_start_tx() from running in parallel.

      serial: change the divisor latch only when prescalar actually changed · 0d0389e5
      Yin Kangkai 提交于
      In 8250.c original ns16550 autoconfig code, we change the divisor latch when
      we goto to high speed mode, we're assuming the previous speed is legacy. This
      some times is not true.
      
      For example in a system with both CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 and
      CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP set, in this case, the code (autoconfig) will be called
      twice, one in serial8250_init/probe() and the other is from
      serial_pnp_probe. When serial_pnp_probe calls the autoconfig for NS16550A,
      it's already in high speed mode, change the divisor latch (quot << 3) in this
      case will make the UART console garbled.

      For any reason if the NS16550A was not work in high speed mode (e.g. we hold
      NS16550A from going to high speed mode in autoconfig_16550a()), now we are
      resume from suspend, we should also set the uartclk to the correct
      value. Otherwise it is still the old 1843200 and that will bring issues.

      8250: fix uninitialized FIFOs · e4f05af1
      Ondrej Puzman 提交于
      I have found a bug in 8250.c driver which causes that 16550A uart FIFOs
      are not turned on during initialization if they are manually configured
      by setserial. UART is then working only as plain 16450 without FIFOs. On
      systems with higher interrupt latency this causes buffer overruns and
      loss of received data when using higher communication speeds.
      
      I'm working for a company which produces industrial computers. These
      devices typically contain high number (8 or more) of traditional 16550A
      uarts - we use TL16C554A chips, but that is not much relevant. UARTs are
      connected to the CPU by ISA bus (Celeron based devices) or LPC bus (Atom
      based devices).
      
      In the Linux the UARTs are using standard 8250.c driver and are
      initialized using setserial command:
      setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0x3E0 irq 10 baud_base 115200
      
      This executes the UART initialization through serial8250_startup()
      function. At the beginning of the function up->capabilities is
      initialized from uart_config:
       up->capabilities = uart_config[up->port.type].flags;
      Please note that neither up->port.fifosize nor up->tx_loadsz is
      initialized here!!
      
      Later in the same function serial8250_clear_fifos() is called and
      disables FIFOs. The above comment says that they will be reenabled in
      set_termios (they won't ...)
      
      After serial8250_startup() the serial8250_set_termios() is called. In
      this function the following check fails because up->port.fifosize is
      zero because it is not initialized correctly.
      
              if (up->capabilities & UART_CAP_FIFO && up->port.fifosize > 1) {
                      if (baud < 2400)
                              fcr = UART_FCR_ENABLE_FIFO | UART_FCR_TRIGGER_1;
                      else
                              fcr = uart_config[up->port.type].fcr;
              }
      
      fcr variable remains zero and in the end the FCR register is set to zero
      which results in disabled FIFOs even if the UART type is 16550A. This is
      also true for other types of UARTs with FIFOs.
      
      If the UART is autoconfigured via 'setserial /dev/ttySx autoconfig' then
      port.fifosize and tx_loadsz are initialized correctly in the
      autoconfig() function and the UART is working correctly then.
      
      I checked the source codes and I can say that this bug is present in
      2.6.x series of kernels for a couple of years. Namely I can confirm its
      presence in 2.6.16.57, 2.6.32.24 and 2.6.36.1 (tested all of them on our
      hardware).
      
      I think it was not noticed before because not many people use manually
      configured non PNP UARTs on ISA/LPC bus these days. Also the data loss
      caused by buffer overruns occures only if  IRQ latency is higher then
      time needed to receive one character on given communication speed.
      For example our hardware looses received characters only if the UARTs
      are connected throught LPC bus with SERIRQ (serial IRQ transport) and
      not if they are connected to ISA bus because LPC SERIRQ has higher
      interrupt latency then parallel ISA interupt lines.
      
      Here is the patch to correct the bug created against 2.6.36.1:

      8250: Fix tcsetattr to avoid ioctl(TIOCMIWAIT) hang · 47d3904f
      Lawrence Rust 提交于
      Calling tcsetattr prevents any thread(s) currently suspended in ioctl
      TIOCMIWAIT for the same device from ever resuming.
      
      If a thread is suspended inside a call to ioctl TIOCMIWAIT, waiting for
      a modem status change, then the 8250 driver enables modem status
      interrupts (MSI).  The device interrupt service routine resumes the
      suspended thread(s) on the next MSI.
      
      If while the thread(s) are suspended, another thread calls tcsetattr
      then the 8250 driver disables MSI (unless CTS/RTS handshaking is
      enabled) thus preventing the suspended thread(s) from ever being
      resumed.
      
      This patch only disables MSI in tcsetattr handling if there are no
      suspended threads.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      SERIAL 8250: Fixes for Alchemy UARTs. · b2b13cdf
      Manuel Lauss 提交于
      Limit the amount of address space claimed for Alchemy serial ports to
      0x1000.  On the Au1300, ports are only 0x1000 apart, and the registers
      only extend to 0x110 at most on all supported alchemy models.
      
      On the Au1300 the autodetect logic no longer works and this makes it
      necessary to specify the port type through platform data.  Because of
      this the MSR quirk needs to be moved outside the autoconfig() function
      which will no longer be called when UPF_FIXED_TYPE is specified.

      serial: 8250: add serial transmitter fully empty test · bca47613
      Dick Hollenbeck 提交于
      When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to
      manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's
      transmitter, from userspace.
      
      The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been
      transmitted.  serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were
      transmitted before they actually were.
      
      ===
      
      Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers
      as follows:
      
      I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little
      different than the standard.  This type of expansion board is very common.
      
      "Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together
      with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device.
      
      The NetMos device does it slightly different
      
      I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register.  The problem
      is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one
      does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information.
      
      My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does
      not affect the already correct devices.
      
      Alan:
      
        We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a
        way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with
        dodgy THRE.
