serial: sifive: lock port in startup()/shutdown() callbacks

2025-04-15T13:02:39Z

startup()/shutdown() callbacks access SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS. The register is also accessed from write() callback. If console were printing and startup()/shutdown() callback gets called, its access to the register could be overwritten. Add port->lock to startup()/shutdown() callbacks to make sure their access to SIFIVE_SERIAL_IE_OFFS is synchronized against write() callback.

serial: msm: Configure correct working mode before starting earlycon

2025-04-11T14:58:47Z

The MSM UART DM controller supports different working modes, e.g. DMA or the "single-character mode", where all reads/writes operate on a single character rather than 4 chars (32-bit) at once. When using earlycon, __msm_console_write() always writes 4 characters at a time, but we don't know which mode the bootloader was using and we don't set the mode either. This causes garbled output if the bootloader was using the single-character mode, because only every 4th character appears in the serial console, e.g. "[ 00oni pi 000xf0[ 00i s 5rm9(l)l s 1 1 SPMTA 7:C 5[ 00A ade k d[ 00ano:ameoi .Q1B[ 00ac _idaM00080oo'" If the bootloader was using the DMA ("DM") mode, output would likely fail entirely. Later, when the full serial driver probes, the port is re-initialized and output works as expected. Fix this also for earlycon by clearing the DMEN register and reset+re-enable the transmitter to apply the change. This ensures the transmitter is in the expected state before writing any output.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - New option "printk.debug_non_panic_cpus" allows to store printk messages from non-panic CPUs during panic. It might be useful when panic() fails. It is disabled by default because it increases the chance to see the messages printed before panic() and on the panic-CPU. - New build option "CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE" allows to build kernel without the virtual terminal support which prefers ttynull over serial console. - Do not unblank suspended consoles. - Some code clean up. * tag 'printk-for-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk/panic: Add option to allow non-panic CPUs to write to the ring buffer. printk: Add an option to allow ttynull to be a default console device printk: Check CON_SUSPEND when unblanking a console printk: Rename console_start to console_resume printk: Rename console_stop to console_suspend printk: Rename resume_console to console_resume_all printk: Rename suspend_console to console_suspend_all

serial: 8250: add driver for NI UARTs

2025-03-20T15:13:00Z

The National Instruments (NI) 16550 is a 16550-like UART with larger FIFOs and embedded RS-232/RS-485 transceiver control circuitry. This patch adds a driver that can operate this UART, which is used for onboard serial ports in several NI embedded controller designs. Portions of this driver were originally written by Jaeden Amero and Karthik Manamcheri, with extensive cleanups and refactors since by Brenda Streiff.

serial: sh-sci: Save and restore more registers

2025-03-20T15:10:15Z

On (H)SCIF with a Baud Rate Generator for External Clock (BRG), there are multiple ways to configure the requested serial speed. If firmware uses a different method than Linux, and if any debug info is printed after the Bit Rate Register (SCBRR) is restored, but before termios is reconfigured (which configures the alternative method), the system may lock-up during resume. Fix this by saving and restoring the contents of the BRG Frequency Division (SCDL) and Clock Select (SCCKS) registers as well. Also save and restore the HSCIF's Sampling Rate Register (HSSRR), which configures the sampling point, and the SCIFA/SCIFB's Serial Port Control and Data Registers (SCPCR/SCPDR), which configure the optional control flow signals. After this, all registers that are not saved/restored are either: - read-only, - write-only, - status registers containing flags with clear-after-set semantics, - FIFO Data Count Trigger registers, which do not matter much for the serial console.
