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

2013-09-08T04:58:14Z

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

2013-08-11T22:38:41Z

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/mxs-auart: fix race condition in interrupt handler

2013-08-11T22:38:41Z

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

Revert "serial: 8250_pci: add support for another kind of NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller"

2013-07-13T18:03:41Z

commit 828c6a102b1f2b8583fadc0e779c46b31d448f0b upstream. This reverts commit 8d2f8cd424ca0b99001f3ff4f5db87c4e525f366. As reported by Stefan, this device already works with the parport_serial driver, so the 8250_pci driver should not also try to grab it as well.

pch_uart: fix a deadlock when pch_uart as console

2013-07-03T17:59:05Z

commit 384e301e3519599b000c1a2ecd938b533fc15d85 upstream. When we use pch_uart as system console like 'console=ttyPCH0,115200', then 'send break' to it. We'll encounter the deadlock on a cpu/core, with interrupts disabled on the core. When we happen to have all irqs affinity to cpu0 then the deadlock on cpu0 actually deadlock whole system. In pch_uart_interrupt, we have spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags) then call pch_uart_err_ir when break is received. Then the call to dev_err would actually call to pch_console_write then we'll run into another spin_lock(&priv->lock), with interrupts disabled. So in the call sequence lead by pch_uart_interrupt, we should be carefully to call functions that will 'print message to console' only in case the uart port is not being used as serial console.

TTY: Fix tty miss restart after we turn off flow-control

2013-06-07T19:49:11Z

commit dab73b4eb9ef924a2b90dab84e539076d82b256f upstream. I meet emacs hang in start if I do the operation below: 1: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 2: emacs BigFile 3: Press CTRL-S follow 2 immediately Then emacs hang on, CTRL-Q can't resume, the terminal hang on, you can do nothing with this terminal except close it. The reason is before emacs takeover control the tty, we use CTRL-S to XOFF it. Then when emacs takeover the control, it may don't use the flow-control, so emacs hang. This patch fix it. This patch will fix a kind of strange tty relation hang problem, I believe I meet it with vim in ssh, and also see below bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=465823 Signed-off-by: Wang YanQing Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take three

2013-05-08T02:51:53Z

commit b0b885657b6c8ef63a46bc9299b2a7715d19acde upstream. We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY: fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both insufficient and overkill. It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an idle person from an active one with 'w'. So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is active or not.

serial_core.c: add put_device() after device_find_child()

2013-05-08T02:51:53Z

commit 5a65dcc04cda41f4122aacc37a5a348454645399 upstream. The serial core uses device_find_child() but does not drop the reference to the retrieved child after using it. This patch add the missing put_device(). What I have done to test this issue. I used a machine with an AMBA PL011 serial driver. I tested the patch on next-20120408 because the last branch [next-20120415] does not boot on this board. For test purpose, I added some pr_info() messages to print the refcount after device_find_child() (lines: 1937,2009), and after put_device() (lines: 1947, 2021). Boot the machine *without* put_device(). Then: echo reboot > /sys/power/disk echo disk > /sys/power/state [ 87.058575] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 4 [ 87.058582] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 4 [ 87.098083] uart_resume_port:2009refcount 5 [ 87.098088] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 5 echo disk > /sys/power/state [ 103.055574] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 6 [ 103.055580] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 6 [ 103.095322] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 7 [ 103.095327] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 7 echo disk > /sys/power/state [ 252.459580] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 8 [ 252.459586] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 8 [ 252.499611] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 9 [ 252.499616] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 9 The refcount continuously increased.

TTY: fix atime/mtime regression

2013-05-01T16:41:03Z

commit 37b7f3c76595e23257f61bd80b223de8658617ee upstream. In commit b0de59b5733d ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write") we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited if something breaks. Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users and their inactivity time broke. It shows that users are inactive since the time they logged in. To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute intervals by this patch.

TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write

2013-05-01T16:41:03Z

commit b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e upstream. On http://vladz.devzero.fr/013_ptmx-timing.php, we can see how to find out length of a password using timestamps of /dev/ptmx. It is documented in "Timing Analysis of Keystrokes and Timing Attacks on SSH". To avoid that problem, do not update time when reading from/writing to a TTY. I am afraid of regressions as this is a behavior we have since 0.97 and apps may expect the time to be current, e.g. for monitoring whether there was a change on the TTY. Now, there is no change. So this would better have a lot of testing before it goes upstream. References: CVE-2013-0160 Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
