syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544beb ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

syzbot is reporting crashes [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at
tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_restore(). While syzbot stops at WARN_ON()
due to panic_on_warn == true, panic_on_warn == false will after all trigger
an OOPS by dereferencing old->ops->num if IS_ERR(old) == true.
We can simplify tty_ldisc_restore() as three calls (old->ops->num, N_TTY,
N_NULL) to tty_ldisc_failto() in addition to avoiding possible error
pointer dereference.
If someone reports kernel panic triggered by forcing all memory allocations
for tty_ldisc_restore() to fail, we can consider adding __GFP_NOFAIL for
tty_ldisc_restore() case.

Commit 99492c39f3 ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix
__earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32
and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This
fix was based on commit 07fca0e57f ("tracing: Properly align linker
defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem.
However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that
gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9
chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding
between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in
an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol
"__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond
to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table".
To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was
subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach
by commits:
3d56e331b6 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
6549864629 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
e4a9ea5ee7 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")
Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.

To reset the UART the SRST needs be cleared (low active). According
to the documentation the bit will remain active for 4 module clocks
until it is cleared (set to 1).
Hence the real register need to be read in case the cached register
indicates that the SRST bit is zero.
This bug lead to wrong baudrate because the baud rate register got
restored before reset completed in imx_flush_buffer.

When using half-duplex mode (which disables receiver during txing)
the RTS signal cannot be driven low during transmission when using
i.MX UART RTS/CTS control. This seems to be a limitation of the
i.MX UART IP: The RTS (CTS_B) signal is controlled by the receiver.
When the receiver is disabled, the signal stays in UART logic idle
state which is high...
If SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND is used, RTS needs to be high active during
transmission. Since this is the default state of the RTS (CTS_B)
signal when the receiver is off, half-duplex mode in this
configuration works fine.
However, a low-active RTS signal (flag SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND not set)
cannot be generated when the receiver is turned off.
Print an error if the user selects this unsupported configuration
(both SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND and SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX unset) and
configure the closest working configuration (set the
SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX flag).

Commit 68a0db1d7d reworked the baud rate selection, but also added
a (not so) subtle change in the way the local flags (c_lflag in the
termios structure) are handled, forcing the new flags to always be the
same as the old ones.
The reason for that particular change is both obscure and undocumented.
It also completely breaks userspace. Something as trivial as getty is
unusable:
<example>
Debian GNU/Linux 9 sy-borg ttyMV0
sy-borg login: root
root
[timeout]
Debian GNU/Linux 9 sy-borg ttyMV0
</example>
which is quite obvious in retrospect: getty cannot get in control of
the echo mode, is stuck in canonical mode, and times out without ever
seeing anything valid. It also begs the question of how this change was
ever tested.
The fix is pretty obvious: stop messing with c_lflag, and the world
will be a happier place.

At least on droid 4 with control channel in ADM mode, there is no response
to Modem Status Command (MSC). Currently gsmtty_modem_update() expects to
have data in dlci->modem_rx unless debug & 2 is set. This means that on
droid 4, things only work if debug & 2 is set.
Let's fix the issue by ignoring empty dlci->modem_rx for ADM mode. In
the AMD mode, CMD_MSC will never respond and gsm_process_modem() won't
get called to set dlci->modem_rx.
And according to ts_127010v140000p.pdf, MSC is only relevant if basic
option is chosen, so let's test for that too.

Commit ea3d8465ab ("tty: n_gsm: Allow ADM response in addition to UA for
control dlci") added support for DLCI to stay in Asynchronous Disconnected
Mode (ADM). But we still get long delays waiting for commands to other
DLCI to complete:
--> 5) C: SABM(P)
Q> 0) C: UIH(F)
Q> 0) C: UIH(F)
Q> 0) C: UIH(F)
...
This happens because gsm_control_send() sets cretries timer to T2 that is
by default set to 34. This will cause resend for T2 times for the control
frame. In ADM mode, we will never get a response so the control frame, so
retries are just delaying all the commands.
Let's fix the issue by setting DLCI_MODE_ADM flag after detecting the ADM
mode for the control DLCI. Then we can use that in gsm_control_send() to
set retries to 1. This means the control frame will be sent once allowing
the other end at an opportunity to switch from ADM to ABM mode.
Note that retries will be decremented in gsm_control_retransmit() so
we don't want to set it to 0 here.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_ioperm() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant
as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same
calling convention as sys_ioperm().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

The buf_overrun count is only every written, and not exposed to
userspace anywhere. This means that dropped characters due to flip
buffer overruns are never visible to userspace.
The /proc/tty/driver/serial file exports a bunch of metrics (including
hardware overruns) already, so add the buf_overrun (as "bo:") to this

Fixes missing characters on kernel console at low baud rates (i.e.9600).
The driver should poll TX_RDY or TX_FIFO_EMP instead of TX_EMP to ensure
that the transmitter holding register (THR) is ready to receive a new byte.
TX_EMP tells us when it is possible to send a break sequence via
SND_BRK_SEQ. While this also indicates that both the THR and the TSR are
empty, it does not guarantee that a new byte can be written just yet.

The S390 architecture does not support any graphics hardware,
but with the latest support for Virtio GPU in Linux and Virtio
GPU emulation in QEMU, it's possible to enable graphics for
S390 using the Virtio GPU device.
To enable display we need to enable the Linux Virtual Terminal (VT)
layer for S390. But the VT subsystem initializes quite early
at boot so we need a dummy console driver till the Virtio GPU
driver is initialized and we can run the framebuffer console.
The framebuffer console over a Virtio GPU device can be run
in combination with the serial SCLP console (default on S390).
The SCLP console can still be accessed by management applications
(eg: via Libvirt's virsh console).

ECMA-48 [1] (aka ISO 6429) has defined SGR 21 as "doubly underlined"
since at least March 1984. The Linux kernel has treated it as SGR 22
"normal intensity" since it was added in Linux-0.96b in June 1992.
Before that, it was simply ignored. Other terminal emulators have
either ignored it, or treat it as double underline now. xterm for
example added support in its 304 release (May 2014) [2] where it was
previously ignoring it.
Changing this behavior shouldn't be an issue:
- It isn't a named capability in ncurses's terminfo database, so no
script is using libtinfo/libcurses to look this up, or using tput
to query & output the right sequence.
- Any script assuming SGR 21 will reset intensity in all terminals
already do not work correctly on non-Linux VTs (including running
under screen/tmux/etc...).
- If someone has written a script that only runs in the Linux VT, and
they're using SGR 21 (instead of SGR 22), the output should still
be readable.
imo it's important to change this as the Linux VT's non-conformance
is sometimes used as an argument for other terminal emulators to not
implement SGR 21 at all, or do so incorrectly.

Having a fixed prefix helps at several places. It ensures that another
driver doesn't use the same function name which confuses the linker and
tools like ctags. It simplifies working with function tracing and
dynamic printk() support which can filter on function names. And last
but not least it helps the human source code reader to understand if a
given function belongs to a driver or a more general part of the kernel.

When using RS485 half duplex the Transmitter Complete irq is needed to
determine the moment when the transmitter can be disabled. When using
DMA this irq must only be enabled when DMA has completed to transfer all
data. Otherwise the CPU might busily trigger this irq which is not
properly handled and so the also pending irq for the DMA transfer cannot
trigger.

When the UART is used in DMA mode, .stop_rx() does nothing if the port
isn't suspended. This is wrong as .stop_rx() should stop receiving
characters unconditionally. When the port is about to be closed the DMA
channel is stopped in .shutdown(), so this isn't necessary to be in
.stop_rx() here, too.

The serial/imx driver is full of inconsistently named and typed
variables that hold different register values.
Consistently use u32 as type (matching what readl and writel use) and
name the variables after the register whose value they are holding.
This makes it easier to notice when UCR2_RTSEN is written to UCR1.
The only difference introduced by this commit in the compiled driver is
that twice the second argument to warn_slowpath_null() changed because the
two WARN_ON in dma_rx_callback() pass __LINE__ to warn_slowpath_null().

The original code looks as follows:
if (sport->dma_is_enabled) {
... make sure TX DMA is running, i.e. .dma_is_txing = 1
}
if (sport->dma_is_txing)
return;
As .dma_is_txing can only be true if .dma_is_enabled is, the return can
go at the end of the first if body without an additional check.

Neither .dma_is_txing nor .dma_is_rxing can evaluate to true if
.dma_is_enabled evaluates to false:
The only function that sets .dma_is_txing to a non-zero value is
imx_dma_tx() which is only called if .dma_is_enabled is true. Same for
.dma_is_rxing and start_rx_dma(). And before .dma_is_enabled is set to 0
when imx_shutdown calls imx_disable_dma(), .dma_is_rxing and
.dma_is_txing are reset to zero before, too.
For this reason
sport->dma_is_enabled && sport->dma_is_rxing
has the same value as
sport->dma_is_rxing
which allows to simplify three if conditions.
