uart_write_room() and uart_write() behave inconsistently when
xmit_buf is NULL (which happens for PORT_UNKNOWN ports that were
never properly initialized):
- uart_write_room() returns kfifo_avail() which can be > 0
- uart_write() checks xmit_buf and returns 0 if NULL
This inconsistency causes an infinite loop in drivers that rely on
tty_write_room() to determine if they can write:
while (tty_write_room(tty) > 0) {
written = tty->ops->write(...);
// written is always 0, loop never exits
}
For example, caif_serial's handle_tx() enters an infinite loop when
used with PORT_UNKNOWN serial ports, causing system hangs.
Fix by making uart_write_room() also check xmit_buf and return 0 if
it's NULL, consistent with uart_write().

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Revert commit bfc467db60 ("serial: remove redundant
tty_port_link_device()") because the tty_port_link_device() is not
redundant: the tty->port has to be confured before we call
uart_configure_port(), otherwise user-space can open console without TTY
linked to the driver.
This tty_port_link_device() was added explicitly to avoid this exact
issue in commit fb2b90014d ("tty: link tty and port before configuring
it as console"), so offending commit basically reverted the fix saying
it is redundant without addressing the actual race condition presented
there.
Reproducible always as tty->port warning on Qualcomm SoC with most of

Commit fe7f0fa43c ("serial: 8250: Support rs485 devicetree properties")
retrieves rs485 properties for 8250 drivers. These properties are read
from the firmware node of the device within uart_get_rs485_mode(). If the
firmware node does not exist, then the rs485 flags are still reset. Thus,
8250 driver cannot set rs485 flags to enable a defined rs485 mode during
driver loading. This is no problem so far, as no 8250 driver sets the
rs485 flags.
The default rs485 mode can also be set by firmware nodes. But for some
devices a firmware node does not exist. E.g., for a PCIe based serial
interface on x86 no device tree is available and the ACPI information of
the BIOS often cannot by modified. In this case it shall be possible,
that a driver works out of the box by setting a reasonable default rs485
mode.
If no firmware node exists, then it should be possible for the driver to
set a reasonable default rs485 mode. Therefore, reset rs485 flags only
if a firmware node exists.

Neither uart_do_autoconfig(), nor uart_wait_modem_status() can return
-ENOIOCTLCMD. The ENOIOCTLCMD checks are there to check if 'cmd' matched
against TIOCSERCONFIG, and TIOCMIWAIT respectively. (With 0 or error in
'ret', it does not matter.)
Therefore, the code can simply return from the TIOCSERCONFIG and
TIOCMIWAIT spots immediately.
To be more explicit, use 'if' instead of switch-case for those single
values.
And return without jumping to the 'out' label -- it can be removed too.

The serial info sometimes produces negative TX/RX counts. E.g.:

It appears that the print format specifiers don't match with the types of
the respective variables. E.g.: All of the fields in struct uart_icount
are u32, but the format specifier used is %d, even though u32 is unsigned
and %d is for signed integers. Update drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c
to use the proper format specifiers. Reference
https://docs.kernel.org/core-api/printk-formats.html as the documentation
for what format specifiers are the proper ones to use for a given C type.

This code (tty_get -> vhangup -> tty_put) is repeated on few places.
Introduce a helper similar to tty_port_tty_hangup() (asynchronous) to
handle even vhangup (synchronous).
And use it on those places.
In fact, reuse the tty_port_tty_hangup()'s code and call tty_vhangup()
depending on a new bool parameter.

uart_port_lock() and uart_port_unlock() are (at the same time) defined
as:
* functions in include/linux/serial_core.h
* macros in drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c
The former are sane uart port lock wrappers.
The latter _lock() does something completely different: it inspects
a uart_state, obtains a uart_port from it, and increases its reference
count. And if that all succeeded, the port is locked too.
Similarly, the _unlock() counterpart first unlocks and then decrements
the refcount too.
This state is REALLY CONFUSING.
So rename the latter (local .c macros):
* uart_port_lock() -> uart_port_ref_lock(), and
* uart_port_unlock() -> uart_port_unlock_deref().
Now, the forbidden while-at-it part: convert from a macro to an inline
-- do it here as the passed 'flags' have to be pointer to ulong now. So
we avoid doubled changes on identical LOCs.

The inline-defined constants look weird. Instead, define a proper enum

Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
It's coming late in the merge cycle as there are a number of merge
conflicts with your tree now, and I wanted to make sure they were
working properly. To resolve them, look in linux-next, and I will send
the "fixup" patch as a response to the pull request.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least
one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on
tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next
use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things
in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates
All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon".

Constify the following API:
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, void *data,
int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data));
To :
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, const void *data,
device_match_t match);
typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data);
with the following reasons:
- Protect caller's match data @*data which is for comparison and lookup
and the API does not actually need to modify @*data.
- Make the API's parameters (@match)() and @data have the same type as
all of other device finding APIs (bus|class|driver)_find_device().
- All kinds of existing device match functions can be directly taken
as the API's argument, they were exported by driver core.
Constify the API and adapt for various existing usages.
BTW, various subsystem changes are squashed into this commit to meet
'git bisect' requirement, and this commit has the minimal and simplest
changes to complement squashing shortcoming, and that may bring extra
code improvement.

This "change_port" part of uart_set_info() is for no good reason
inlined there. It makes the function rather hard to read. Therefore,
extract it to a separate function.
This allows for flattening the ifs (with short path "return"s) and
avoiding two levels of indentation. Both making the code really flat and
comprehesible.

The label is unneeded since 7ba2e76982 (tty: Split the serial_core
helpers for setserial into two). Until then, there was a lock held in
uart_set_info().
Now it is not, so we can remove the label. This involves reordering the
code, so that it is clear what values are returned, where and why. Until
now, it was really hard to follow.
The "change_port" part of the function is extracted into a separate
function in the next patch. This patch makes the transition there easier
too.

Here is the "big" set of tty/serial driver updates for 6.12-rc1.
Nothing major in here, just nice forward progress in the slow cleanup of
the serial apis, and lots of other driver updates and fixes.
Included in here are:
- serial api updates from Jiri to make things more uniform and sane
- 8250_platform driver cleanups
- samsung serial driver fixes and updates
- qcom-geni serial driver fixes from Johan for the bizarre UART engine
that that chip seems to have. Hopefully it's in a better state now,
but hardware designers still seem to come up with more ways to make
broken UARTS 40+ years after this all should have finished.
- sc16is7xx driver updates
- omap 8250 driver updates
- 8250_bcm2835aux driver updates
- a few new serial driver bindings added
- other serial minor driver updates
All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported
problems.

Commit af224ca2df (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part
3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);"
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports.
Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P.

If a serdev_device_driver is already loaded for a serdev_tty_port when it
gets registered by tty_port_register_device_attr_serdev() then that
driver's probe() method will be called immediately.
The serdev_device_driver's probe() method should then be able to call
serdev_device_open() successfully, but because UPF_DEAD is still dead
serdev_device_open() will fail with -ENXIO in this scenario:
serdev_device_open()
ctrl->ops->open() /* this callback being ttyport_open() */
tty->ops->open() /* this callback being uart_open() */
tty_port_open()
port->ops->activate() /* this callback being uart_port_activate() */
Find bit UPF_DEAD is set in uport->flags and fail with errno -ENXIO.
Fix this be clearing UPF_DEAD before tty_port_register_device_attr_serdev()
note this only moves up the UPD_DEAD clearing a small bit, before:
tty_port_register_device_attr_serdev();
mutex_unlock(&tty_port.mutex);
uart_port.flags &= ~UPF_DEAD;
mutex_unlock(&port_mutex);

uart_port.flags &= ~UPF_DEAD;

In case the UART port is used as a console, no_console_suspend is
available in bootargs and UART port is part of a software-controlled power
domain we need to call device_set_awake_path(). This lets the power
domain core code know that this domain should not be powered off
during system suspend. Otherwise, the UART port power domain is turned off,
nothing is printed while suspending and the suspend/resume process is
blocked. This was detected on the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC while adding support
for power domains.
Based on code investigation (on v6.9-rc5), this issue is present on other
SoCs (e.g., Renesas R-Mobile A1 [1], IMX8QXP [2]) and different SoCs have
particular implementation to handle it. Due to this the patch added the
call of device_set_awake_path() in uart_suspend_port() instead of having
it in the platform specific UART driver.

The circular buffer is NULLified in uart_tty_port_shutdown()
under the spin lock. However, the PM or other timer based callbacks
may still trigger after this event without knowning that buffer pointer
is not valid. Since the serial code is a bit inconsistent in checking
the buffer state (some rely on the head-tail positions, some on the
buffer pointer), it's better to have both aligned, i.e. buffer pointer
to be NULL and head-tail possitions to be the same, meaning it's empty.
This will prevent asynchronous calls to dereference NULL pointer as
reported recently in 8250 case:

We can now add hardware based addressing for serial ports. Starting with
commit 84a9582fd2 ("serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to
enable runtime PM"), and all the related fixes to this commit, the serial
core now knows to which serial port controller the ports are connected.
The serial ports can be addressed with DEVNAME:0.0 style naming. The names
are something like 00:04:0.0 for a serial port on qemu, and something like
2800000.serial:0.0 on platform device using systems like ARM64 for example.
The DEVNAME is the unique serial port hardware controller device name, AKA
the name for port->dev. The 0.0 are the serial core controller id and port
id.
Typically 0.0 are used for each controller and port instance unless the
serial port hardware controller has multiple controllers or ports.
Using DEVNAME:0.0 style naming actually solves two long term issues for
addressing the serial ports:
1. According to Andy Shevchenko, using DEVNAME:0.0 style naming fixes an
issue where depending on the BIOS settings, the kernel serial port ttyS
instance number may change if HSUART is enabled
2. Device tree using architectures no longer necessarily need to specify
aliases to find a specific serial port, and we can just allocate the
ttyS instance numbers dynamically in whatever probe order
To do this, let's match the hardware addressing style console name to
the character device name used, and add a preferred console using the
character device name.
Note that when using console=DEVNAME:0.0 style kernel command line, the
8250 serial console gets enabled later compared to using console=ttyS
naming for ISA ports. This is because the serial port DEVNAME to character
device mapping is not known until the serial driver probe time. If used
together with earlycon, this issue is avoided.

Switch from struct circ_buf to proper kfifo. kfifo provides much better
API, esp. when wrap-around of the buffer needs to be taken into account.
Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example.
Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier
for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that
not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they
handle DMA specially.
Note that usb-serial uses kfifo for TX for ages.
omap needed a bit more care as it needs to put a char into FIFO to start
the DMA transfer when OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK is set. In that case, we have to
do kfifo_dma_out_prepare twice: once to find out the tx_size (to find
out if it is worths to do DMA at all -- size >= 4), the second time for
the actual transfer.
All traces of circ_buf are removed from serial_core.h (and its struct
uart_state).

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().
Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.

In uart_tiocmget():
result = uport->mctrl;
uart_port_lock_irq(uport);
result |= uport->ops->get_mctrl(uport);
uart_port_unlock_irq(uport);
...
return result;
In uart_update_mctrl():
uart_port_lock_irqsave(port, &flags);
...
port->mctrl = (old & ~clear) | set;
...
port->ops->set_mctrl(port, port->mctrl);
...
uart_port_unlock_irqrestore(port, flags);
An atomicity violation is identified due to the concurrent execution of
uart_tiocmget() and uart_update_mctrl(). After assigning
result = uport->mctrl, the mctrl value may change in uart_update_mctrl(),
leading to a mismatch between the value returned by
uport->ops->get_mctrl(uport) and the mctrl value previously read.
This can result in uart_tiocmget() returning an incorrect value.
This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool
developed by our team, BassCheck[1]. This tool analyzes the locking APIs
to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then
analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible
concurrency bugs including data races and atomicity violations. The above
possible bug is reported when our tool analyzes the source code of
Linux 5.17.
To address this issue, it is suggested to move the line
result = uport->mctrl inside the uart_port_lock block to ensure atomicity
and prevent the mctrl value from being altered during the execution of
uart_tiocmget(). With this patch applied, our tool no longer reports the
bug, with the kernel configuration allyesconfig for x86_64. Due to the
absence of the requisite hardware, we are unable to conduct runtime
testing of the patch. Therefore, our verification is solely based on code
logic analysis.
