Here is the big set of serial and tty driver updates for 6.3-rc1.
Once again, Jiri and Ilpo have done a number of core vt and tty/serial
layer cleanups that were much needed and appreciated. Other than that,
it's just a bunch of little tty/serial driver updates:
- qcom-geni-serial driver updates
- liteuart driver updates
- hvcs driver cleanups
- n_gsm updates and additions for new features
- more 8250 device support added
- fpga/dfl update and additions
- imx serial driver updates
- fsl_lpuart updates
- other tiny fixes and updates for serial drivers
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

The current con_font_get/set API currently hardcodes a 32-pixel-tall
limitation, which only dates from the old VGA hardware which could not
handle taller fonts than that.
This change just adds a vpitch parameter to release this
constraint. Drivers which do not support vpitch != 32 can just return
EINVAL when it is not 32, font loading tools will revert to trying 32
and succeed.
This change makes the fbcon driver consider vpitch appropriately, thus
making it able to load large fonts.

With commit 9e124fe16ff2("xen: Enable console tty by default in domU
if it's not a dummy") a hack was implemented to make sure that the
tty console remains the console behind the /dev/console device. The
main problem with the hack is that, after getting the console pointer
to the tty console, it is assumed the pointer is still valid after
releasing the console_sem. This assumption is incorrect and unsafe.
Make the hack safe by introducing a new function
console_force_preferred_locked() and perform the full operation
under the console_list_lock.

Currently it is not possible for drivers to detect if they have
already successfully registered their console. Several drivers
have multiple paths that lead to console registration. To avoid
attempting a 2nd registration (which leads to a WARN), drivers
are implementing their own solution.
Introduce console_is_registered() so drivers can easily identify
if their console is currently registered. A _locked() variant
is also provided if the caller is already holding the
console_list_lock.

After switching to SRCU for console list iteration, some readers
will begin readings console->flags as a data race. Locklessly
reading console->flags provides a consistent value because there
is at most one CPU modifying console->flags and that CPU is
using only read-modify-write operations.
Introduce a wrapper for SRCU iterators to read console flags.

Currently there exist races in register_console(), where the types
of registered consoles are checked (without holding the console_lock)
and then after acquiring the console_lock, it is assumed that the list
has not changed. Also, some code that performs console_unregister()
make similar assumptions.
It might be possible to fix these races using the console_lock. But
it would require a complex analysis of all console drivers to make
sure that the console_lock is not taken in match() and setup()
callbacks. And we really prefer to split up and reduce the
responsibilities of console_lock rather than expand its complexity.
Therefore, introduce a new console_list_lock to provide full
synchronization for any console list changes.
In addition, also use console_list_lock for synchronization of
console->flags updates. All flags are either static or modified only
during the console registration. There are only two exceptions.
The first exception is CON_ENABLED, which is also modified by
console_start()/console_stop(). Therefore, these functions must
also take the console_list_lock.
The second exception is when the flags are modified by the console
driver init code before the console is registered. These will be
ignored because they are not visible to the rest of the system
via the console_drivers list.
Note that one of the various responsibilities of the console_lock is
also intended to provide console list and console->flags
synchronization. Later changes will update call sites relying on the
console_lock for these purposes. Once all call sites have been
updated, the console_lock will be relieved of synchronizing
console_list and console->flags updates.

Currently threaded console printers synchronize against each
other using console_lock(). However, different console drivers
are unrelated and do not require any synchronization between
each other. Removing the synchronization between the threaded
console printers will allow each console to print at its own
speed.
But the threaded consoles printers do still need to synchronize
against console_lock() callers. Introduce a per-console mutex
and a new console boolean field @blocked to provide this
synchronization.
console_lock() is modified so that it must acquire the mutex
of each console in order to set the @blocked field. Console
printing threads will acquire their mutex while printing a
record. If @blocked was set, the thread will go back to sleep
instead of printing.
The reason for the @blocked boolean field is so that
console_lock() callers do not need to acquire multiple console
mutexes simultaneously, which would introduce unnecessary
complexity due to nested mutex locking. Also, a new field
was chosen instead of adding a new @flags value so that the
blocked status could be checked without concern of reading
inconsistent values due to @flags updates from other contexts.
Threaded console printers also need to synchronize against
console_trylock() callers. Since console_trylock() may be
called from any context, the per-console mutex cannot be used
for this synchronization. (mutex_trylock() cannot be called
from atomic contexts.) Introduce a global atomic counter to
identify if any threaded printers are active. The threaded
printers will also check the atomic counter to identify if the
console has been locked by another task via console_trylock().
Note that @console_sem is still used to provide synchronization
between console_lock() and console_trylock() callers.
A locking overview for console_lock(), console_trylock(), and the
threaded printers is as follows (pseudo code):
console_lock()
{
down(&console_sem);
for_each_console(con) {
mutex_lock(&con->lock);
con->blocked = true;
mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}
/* console_lock acquired */
}
console_trylock()
{
if (down_trylock(&console_sem) == 0) {
if (atomic_cmpxchg(&console_kthreads_active, 0, -1) == 0) {
/* console_lock acquired */
}
}
}
threaded_printer()
{
mutex_lock(&con->lock);
if (!con->blocked) {
/* console_lock() callers blocked */
if (atomic_inc_unless_negative(&console_kthreads_active)) {
/* console_trylock() callers blocked */
con->write();
atomic_dec(&console_lock_count);
}
}
mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}
The console owner and waiter logic now only applies between contexts
that have taken the console_lock via console_trylock(). Threaded
printers never take the console_lock, so they do not have a
console_lock to handover. Tasks that have used console_lock() will
block the threaded printers using a mutex and if the console_lock
is handed over to an atomic context, it would be unable to unblock
the threaded printers. However, the console_trylock() case is
really the only scenario that is interesting for handovers anyway.
@panic_console_dropped must change to atomic_t since it is no longer
protected exclusively by the console_lock.
Since threaded printers remain asleep if they see that the console
is locked, they now must be explicitly woken in __console_unlock().
This means wake_up_klogd() calls following a console_unlock() are
no longer necessary and are removed.
Also note that threaded printers no longer need to check
@console_suspended. The check for the @blocked field implicitly
covers the suspended console case.

Create a kthread for each console to perform console printing. During
normal operation (@system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING), the kthread
printers are responsible for all printing on their respective
consoles.
During non-normal operation, console printing is done as it has been:
within the context of the printk caller or within irqwork triggered
by the printk caller, referred to as direct printing.
Since threaded console printers are responsible for all printing
during normal operation, this also includes messages generated via
deferred printk calls. If direct printing is in effect during a
deferred printk call, the queued irqwork will perform the direct
printing. To make it clear that this is the only time that the
irqwork will perform direct printing, rename the flag
PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT to PRINTK_PENDING_DIRECT_OUTPUT.
Threaded console printers synchronize against each other and against
console lockers by taking the console lock for each message that is
printed.
Note that the kthread printers do not care about direct printing.
They will always try to print if new records are available. They can
be blocked by direct printing, but will be woken again once direct
printing is finished.
Console unregistration is a bit tricky because the associated
kthread printer cannot be stopped while the console lock is held.
A policy is implemented that states: whichever task clears
con->thread (under the console lock) is responsible for stopping
the kthread. unregister_console() will clear con->thread while
the console lock is held and then stop the kthread after releasing
the console lock.
For consoles that have implemented the exit() callback, the kthread
is stopped before exit() is called.

Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to
threaded console printing.
- Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current
"position" of each console can be tracked individually.
- Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop
count of each console can be tracked individually.
- Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads,
prepares, and prints its next record.
- Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are
handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally.
- Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while
printing from printk() context.
With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console
replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block
other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the
newly added console is still replaying.

The "nomodeset" kernel cmdline parameter is handled by the vgacon driver
but the exported vgacon_text_force() symbol is only used by DRM drivers.
It makes much more sense for the parameter logic to be in the subsystem
of the drivers that are making use of it.
Let's move the vgacon_text_force() function and related logic to the DRM
subsystem. While doing that, rename it to drm_firmware_drivers_only() and
make it return true if "nomodeset" was used and false otherwise. This is
a better description of the condition that the drivers are testing for.

Since commit edc6afc549 ("tty: switch to ktermios and new framework")
termios speed is no longer stored only in c_cflag member but also in new
additional c_ispeed and c_ospeed members. If BOTHER flag is set in c_cflag
then termios speed is stored only in these new members.
Therefore to correctly restore termios speed it is required to store also
ispeed and ospeed members, not only cflag member.
In case only cflag member with BOTHER flag is restored then functions
tty_termios_baud_rate() and tty_termios_input_baud_rate() returns baudrate
stored in c_ospeed / c_ispeed member, which is zero as it was not restored
too. If reported baudrate is invalid (e.g. zero) then serial core functions
report fallback baudrate value 9600. So it means that in this case original
baudrate is lost and kernel changes it to value 9600.
Simple reproducer of this issue is to boot kernel with following command
line argument: "console=ttyXXX,86400" (where ttyXXX is the device name).
For speed 86400 there is no Bnnn constant and therefore kernel has to
represent this speed via BOTHER c_cflag. Which means that speed is stored
only in c_ospeed and c_ispeed members, not in c_cflag anymore.
If bootloader correctly configures serial device to speed 86400 then kernel
prints boot log to early console at speed speed 86400 without any issue.
But after kernel starts initializing real console device ttyXXX then speed
is changed to fallback value 9600 because information about speed was lost.
This patch fixes above issue by storing and restoring also ispeed and
ospeed members, which are required for BOTHER flag.

This reverts commit 757055ae8d.
The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.
It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().
Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.
The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aee
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
that was widely used and worked only by chance.
This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.
The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:
+ Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
the ultimate fallback.
+ ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
by a better console later.
Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.
Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

process. They are not available when there is no console registered
for /dev/console. It might lead to a crash when the init process
tries to use them, see the commit 48021f9813 ("printk: handle
blank console arguments passed in.").
Normally, ttySX and ttyX consoles are used as a fallback when no consoles
are defined via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. But there
will be no console registered when an invalid console name is configured
or when the configured consoles do not exist on the system.
Users even try to avoid the console intentionally, for example,
by using console="" or console=null. It is used on production
systems where the serial port or terminal are not visible to
users. Pushing messages to these consoles would just unnecessary
slowdown the system.
Make sure that stdin, stdout, stderr, and /dev/console are always
available by a fallback to the existing ttynull driver. It has
been implemented for exactly this purpose but it was used only
when explicitly configured.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
CON_CONSDEV flag was historically used to put/keep the preferred console
first in console_drivers list. Where the preferred console is the last
on the command line.
The ordering is important only when opening /dev/console:
+ tty_kopen()
+ tty_lookup_driver()
+ console_device()
The flag was originally an implementation detail. But it was later
made accessible from userspace via /proc/consoles. It was used,
for example, by the tool "showconsole" to show the real tty
accessible via /dev/console, see
https://github.com/bitstreamout/showconsole
Now, the current code sets CON_CONSDEV only for the preferred
console or when a fallback console is added. The flag is not
set when the preferred console is defined on the command line
but it is not registered from some reasons.
Simple solution is to set CON_CONSDEV flag for the first
registered console. It will work most of the time because:
+ Most real consoles have console->device defined.
+ Boot consoles are removed in printk_late_init().
+ unregister_console() moves CON_CONSDEV flag to the next
console.
Clean solution would require checking con->device when the
preferred console is registered and in unregister_console().
Conclusion:
Use the simple solution for now. It is better than the current
state and good enough.
The clean solution is not worth it. It would complicate the already
complicated code without too much gain. Instead the code would deserve
a complete rewrite.

Some consoles might require special operations on unregistering.
For instance, serial console, when registered in the kernel,
keeps power on for entire time, until it gets unregistered.
Example of use:
->setup(console):
pm_runtime_get(...);
->exit(console):
pm_runtime_put(...);
For such cases to have a balance we would provide ->exit() callback.

The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters
the console's critical section without having acquired the console
lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using
printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary
warnings.
The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables
WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's
critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and
decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning
is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it.

Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over
the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered.
This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is
desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer
(typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is.
The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not
enable fbcon.
This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option,
which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy
console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the
"quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used
together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as
soon as e.g. an error message is logged.
Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver,
rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after
2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon
code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only
feasible option.

This reverts commit 05fd007e46 ("console: don't prefer first

The reverted commit changes existing behavior on which many ARM boards
rely. Many ARM small-board-computers, like e.g. the Raspberry Pi have
both a video output and a serial console. Depending on whether the user
is using the device as a more regular computer; or as a headless device
we need to have the console on either one or the other.
Many users rely on the kernel behavior of the console being present on
both outputs, before the reverted commit the console setup with no
console= kernel arguments on an ARM board which sets stdout-path in dt
would look like this:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles
ttyS0 -W- (EC p a) 4:64
tty0 -WU (E p ) 4:1
Where as after the reverted commit, it looks like this:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles
ttyS0 -W- (EC p a) 4:64
This commit reverts commit 05fd007e46 ("console: don't prefer first
registered if DT specifies stdout-path") restoring the original
behavior.

Scrolling helpers scrup and scrdown both accept 'top' and 'bottom' as
unsigned int. Number of lines 'nr' is accepted as int, but all callers
pass down unsigned too. So change the type of 'nr' to unsigned too.
Now, promote unsigned int from the helpers up to the con_scroll
hook which actually accepted all those as signed int.
Next, the 'dir' parameter can have only two values and we define
constants for that: SM_UP and SM_DOWN. Switch them to enum and do
proper type checking on 'dir' too.
Finally, document the behaviour of the hook.

If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output
via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the
stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel
console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we
parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from
of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine
whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst
registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other
has been selected at the time of its registration.
This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects
via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when
the stdout-path console is later registered the call to
add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do
anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the
dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output:
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
console [tty0] enabled
bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled
Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if
one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be
registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected
by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the
list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled.
When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be
enabled as expected.

@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through
lock or trylock. If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and
console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched(). This allows
console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield
while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling.
However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding
irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule
before starting outputting lines. Also, only a few drivers call
console_conditional_schedule() to begin with. This means that when a
lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a
console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for
a long time on a non-preemptible kernel.
If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial
console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time.
Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in
turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of
warnings incapacitating the system.
Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if
@console_may_schedule.

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only
through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We
want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
in transit.
This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can
indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
"<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"
If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This
ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects
/dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
this change.
* Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
are registered extended consoles.
* Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing
contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

Add match() method to struct console which allows the console to
perform console command line matching instead of (or in addition to)
default console matching (ie., by fixed name and index).
The match() method returns 0 to indicate a successful match; normal
console matching occurs if no match() method is defined or the
match() method returns non-zero. The match() method is expected to set
the console index if required.
Re-implement earlycon-to-console-handoff with direct matching of
"console=uart|uart8250,..." to the 8250 ttyS console.

Now there is no place use unregister_con_driver,
and we can achieve unregister_con_driver's function
with unregister_con_driver easily, so just delete it
to reduce code size and duplication.
