xen/hvc: allow xenboot console to be used again

2013-10-13T23:08:33Z

commit a9fbf4d591da6cd1d3eaab826c7c15f77fc8f6a3 upstream. Commit d0380e6c3c0f6edb986d8798a23acfaf33d5df23 (early_printk: consolidate random copies of identical code) added in 3.10 introduced a check for con->index == -1 in early_console_register(). Initialize index to -1 for the xenboot console so earlyprintk=xen works again. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Cc: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: pch_uart: fix tty-kref leak in dma-rx path

2013-10-05T14:13:10Z

commit 19b85cfb190eb9980eaf416bff96aef4159a430e upstream. Fix tty_kref leak when tty_buffer_request room fails in dma-rx path. Note that the tty ref isn't really needed anymore, but as the leak has always been there, fixing it before removing should makes it easier to backport the fix.

serial: pch_uart: fix tty-kref leak in rx-error path

2013-10-05T14:13:10Z

commit fc0919c68cb2f75bb1af759315f9d7e2a9443c28 upstream. Fix tty-kref leak introduced by commit 384e301e ("pch_uart: fix a deadlock when pch_uart as console") which never put its tty reference. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Fix SIGTTOU not sent with tcflush()

2013-10-05T14:13:10Z

commit 5cec7bf699c61d14f0538345076480bb8c8ebfbb upstream. Commit 'e7f3880cd9b98c5bf9391ae7acdec82b75403776' tty: Fix recursive deadlock in tty_perform_flush() introduced a regression where tcflush() does not generate SIGTTOU for background process groups. Make sure ioctl(TCFLSH) calls tty_check_change() when invoked from the line discipline. Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: disassociate_ctty() sends the extra SIGCONT

2013-09-27T00:18:04Z

commit 03e1261778cca782d41a3d8e3945ca88cf93e01e upstream. Starting from v3.10 (probably commit f91e2590410b: "tty: Signal foreground group processes in hangup") disassociate_ctty() sends SIGCONT if tty && on_exit. This breaks LSB test-suite, in particular test8 in _exit.c and test40 in sigcon5.c. Put the "!on_exit" check back to restore the old behaviour. Review by Peter Hurley: "Yes, this regression was introduced by me in that commit. The effect of the regression is that ptys will receive a SIGCONT when, in similar circumstances, ttys would not. The fact that two test vectors accidentally tripped over this regression suggests that some other apps may as well. Thanks for catching this" Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Reported-by: Karel Srot Reviewed-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms.

2013-09-08T05:09:58Z

commit d220980b701d838560a70de691b53be007e99e78 upstream. This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually become workable but much later into the boot process. Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger for more reliability. This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

serial/mxs-auart: increase time to wait for transmitter to become idle

2013-08-12T01:35:21Z

commit 079a036f4283e2b0e5c26080b8c5112bc0cc1831 upstream. Without this patch the driver waits ~1 ms for the UART to become idle. At 115200n8 this time is (theoretically) enough to transfer 11.5 characters (= 115200 bits/s / (10 Bits/char) * 1ms). As the mxs-auart has a fifo size of 16 characters the clock is gated too early. The problem is worse for lower baud rates. This only happens to really shut down the transmitter in the middle of a transfer if /dev/ttyAPPx isn't opened in userspace (e.g. by a getty) but was at least once (because the bootloader doesn't disable the transmitter). So increase the timeout to 20 ms which should be enough for 9600n8, too. Moreover skip gating the clock if the timeout is elapsed. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: arc_uart: Fix module alias

commit d5a12ea7a9e58d9e5c19d25cb668aadb396423ec upstream. Platform drivers use "platform:" prefix in module alias. Also use DRIVER_NAME in MODULE_ALIAS to make module autoloading work. Signed-off-by: Axel Lin Acked-by: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial/mxs-auart: fix race condition in interrupt handler

2013-08-12T01:35:21Z

commit d970d7fe65adff5efe75b4a73c4ffc9be57089f7 upstream. The handler needs to ack the pending events before actually handling them. Otherwise a new event might come in after it it considered non-pending or handled and is acked then without being handled. So this event is only noticed when the next interrupt happens. Without this patch an i.MX28 based machine running an rt-patched kernel regularly hangs during boot. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
