tty/serial: at91: fix uart/usart selection for older products

2013-10-17T20:27:24Z

Since commit 055560b04a8cd063aea916fd083b7aec02c2adb8 (serial: at91: distinguish usart and uart) the older products which do not have a name field in their register map are unable to use their serial output. As the main console output is usually the serial interface (aka DBGU) it is pretty unfortunate. So, instead of failing during probe() we just silently configure the serial peripheral as an uart. It allows us to use these serial outputs. The proper solution is proposed in another patch. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Ferre Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: vt8500: add missing braces

2013-10-16T20:22:16Z

Due to missing braces on an if statement, in presence of a device_node a port was always assigned -1, regardless of any alias entries in the device tree. Conversely, if device_node was NULL, an unitialized port ended up being used. This patch adds the missing braces, fixing the issues.

Revert "serial: i.MX: evaluate linux,stdout-path property"

2013-10-08T02:06:59Z

This reverts commit f7d2c0bbdb7b784cc035cacb7d36b379ba1c3bef, as it causes build errors when the driver is built as a module. Reported-by: Guenter Roeck Cc: Sascha Hauer Cc: Fabio Estevam Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen/hvc: allow xenboot console to be used again

2013-10-03T23:12:58Z

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.

tty: Fix pty master read() after slave closes

2013-10-01T02:05:56Z

Commit f95499c3030fe1bfad57745f2db1959c5b43dca8, n_tty: Don't wait for buffer work in read() loop creates a race window which can cause a pty master read() to miss the last pty slave write(s) and return -EIO instead, thus signalling the pty slave is closed. This can happen when the pty slave is written and immediately closed but before the tty buffer i/o loop receives the new input; the pty master read() is scheduled, sees its read buffer is empty and the pty slave has been closed, and exits. Because tty_flush_to_ldisc() has significant performance impact for parallel i/o, rather than revert the commit, special case this condition (ie., when the read buffer is empty and the 'other' pty has been closed) and, only then, wait for buffer work to complete before re-testing if the read buffer is still empty. As before, subsequent pty master reads return any available data until no more data is available, and then returns -EIO to indicate the pty slave has closed.

tty: Fix SIGTTOU not sent with tcflush()

2013-09-26T00:52:17Z

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.

tty: disassociate_ctty() sends the extra SIGCONT

2013-09-18T01:53:32Z

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" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.10+ Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Reported-by: Karel Srot Reviewed-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
