  1. virtio-console: remove unnecessary kmemdup()

    This revert commit c4baad5 ("virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack")
    
    hvc framework will never pass stack memory to the put_chars() function,
    So the calling of kmemdup() is unnecessary, we can remove it.

  2. tty: hvc: pass DMA capable memory to put_chars()

    As well known, hvc backend driver(eg, virtio-console) can register its
    operations to hvc framework. The operations can contain put_chars(),
    get_chars() and so on.
    
    Some hvc backend may do dma in its operations. eg, put_chars() of
    virtio-console. But in the code of hvc framework, it may pass DMA
    incapable memory to put_chars() under a specific configuration, which
    is explained in commit c4baad5(virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack):
    1, c[] is on stack,
       hvc_console_print():
    	char c[N_OUTBUF] __ALIGNED__;
    	cons_ops[index]->put_chars(vtermnos[index], c, i);
    2, ch is on stack,
       static void hvc_poll_put_char(,,char ch)
       {
    	struct tty_struct *tty = driver->ttys[0];
    	struct hvc_struct *hp = tty->driver_data;
    	int n;
    
    	do {
    		n = hp->ops->put_chars(hp->vtermno, &ch, 1);
    	} while (n <= 0);
       }
    
    Commit c4baad5 is just the fix to avoid DMA from stack memory, which
    is passed to virtio-console by hvc framework in above code. But I think
    the fix is aggressive, it directly uses kmemdup() to alloc new buffer
    from kmalloc area and do memcpy no matter the memory is in kmalloc area
    or not. But most importantly, it should better be fixed in the hvc
    framework, by changing it to never pass stack memory to the put_chars()
    function in the first place. Otherwise, we still face the same issue if
    a new hvc backend using dma added in the future.
    
    In this patch, we make 'char out_buf[N_OUTBUF]' and 'chat out_ch' part
    of 'struct hvc_struct', so both two buf are no longer the stack memory.
    we can use it in above two cases separately.
    
    Introduce another array(cons_outbufs[]) for buffer pointers next to
    the cons_ops[] and vtermnos[] arrays. With the array, we can easily find
    the buffer, instead of traversing hp list.
    
    With the patch, we can remove the fix c4baad5.

  2. serial: sh-sci: fix break handling for sysrq

    This fixes two issues that cause the sysrq sequence to be inadvertently
    aborted on SCIF serial consoles:
    
    - a NUL character remains in the RX queue after a break has been detected,
      which is then passed on to uart_handle_sysrq_char()
    - the break interrupt is handled twice on controllers with multiplexed ERI
      and BRI interrupts

  3. tty: serial: samsung: Init USI to keep clocks running

    UART block is a part of USI (Universal Serial Interface) IP-core in
    Samsung SoCs since Exynos9810 (e.g. in Exynos850). USI allows one to
    enable one of three types of serial interface: UART, SPI or I2C. That's
    possible because USI shares almost all internal circuits within each
    protocol. USI also provides some additional registers so it's possible
    to configure it.
    
    One USI register called USI_OPTION has reset value of 0x0. Because of
    this the clock gating behavior is controlled by hardware (HWACG =
    Hardware Auto Clock Gating), which simply means the serial won't work
    after reset as is. In order to make it work, USI_OPTION[2:1] bits must
    be set to 0b01, so that HWACG is controlled manually (by software).
    Bits meaning:
      - CLKREQ_ON = 1: clock is continuously provided to IP
      - CLKSTOP_ON = 0: drive IP_CLKREQ to High (needs to be set along with
                        CLKREQ_ON = 1)
    
    USI is not present on older chips, like s3c2410, s3c2412, s3c2440,
    s3c6400, s5pv210, exynos5433, exynos4210. So the new boolean field
    '.has_usi' was added to struct s3c24xx_uart_info. USI registers will be
    only actually accessed when '.has_usi' field is set to "1".
    
    This feature is needed for further serial enablement on Exynos850, but
    some other new Exynos chips (like Exynos9810) may benefit from this
    feature as well.

  6. serial: stm32: fix the conditional expression writing

    In the function stm32_usart_init_port, intent of the code maybe when
    irq returns a value of zero, the return should be '-ENODEV'. But the
    conditional expression '? :' maybe clerical error, it should be
    '?:' to make '-ENODEV' work.
    But in fact, as the example in platform.c is
      * int irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
      * if (irq < 0)
      * return irq;
    So the return value of zero is unnecessary to check, at last remove
    the unnecessary '?: -ENODEV'.

    …version
    
    The usage of CONFIG_PHYS_RAM_BASE for all kernel types was a mistake:
    this value is implementation-specific and this breaks the genericity of
    the RISC-V kernel.
    
    Fix this by introducing a new variable phys_ram_base that holds this
    value at runtime and use it in the kernel physical address conversion
    macro. Since this value is used only for XIP kernels, evaluate it only if
    CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL is set which in addition optimizes this macro for
    standard kernels at compile-time.

  1. kyber: make trace_block_rq call consistent with documentation

    The kyber ioscheduler calls trace_block_rq_insert() *after* the request
    is added to the queue but the documentation for trace_block_rq_insert()
    says that the call should be made *before* the request is added to the
    queue.  Move the tracepoint for the kyber ioscheduler so that it is
    consistent with the documentation.

     "Fix tracepoint race between static_call and callback data
    
      As callbacks to a tracepoint are paired with the data that is passed
      in when the callback is registered to the tracepoint, it must have
      that data passed to the callback when the tracepoint is triggered,
      else bad things will happen. To keep the two together, they are both
      assigned to a tracepoint structure and added to an array. The
      tracepoint call site will dereference the structure (via RCU) and call
      the callback in that structure along with the data in that structure.
      This keeps the callback and data tightly coupled.
    
      Because of the overhead that retpolines have on tracepoint callbacks,
      if there's only one callback attached to a tracepoint (a common case),
      then it is called via a static call (code modified to do a direct call
      instead of an indirect call). But to implement this, the data had to
      be decoupled from the callback, as now the callback is implemented via
      a direct call from the static call and not an indirect call from the
      dereferenced structure.
    
      Note, the static call only calls a callback used when there's a single
      callback attached to the tracepoint. If more than one callback is
      attached to the same tracepoint, then the static call will call an
      iterator function that goes back to dereferencing the structure
      keeping the callback and its data tightly coupled again.
    
      Issues can arise when going from 0 callbacks to one, as the static
      call is assigned to the callback, and it must take care that the data
      passed to it is loaded before the static call calls the callback.
      Going from 1 to 2 callbacks is not an issue, as long as the static
      call is updated to the iterator before the tracepoint structure array
      is updated via RCU. Going from 2 to more or back down to 2 is not an
      issue as the iterator can handle all theses cases. But going from 2 to
      1, care must be taken as the static call is now calling a callback and
      the data that is loaded must be the data for that callback.
    
      Care was taken to ensure the callback and data would be in-sync, but
      after a bug was reported, it became clear that not enough was done to
      make sure that was the case. These changes address this.
    
      The first change is to compare the old and new data instead of the old
      and new callback, as it's the data that can corrupt the callback, even
      if the callback is the same (something getting freed).
    
      The next change is to convert these transitions into states, to make
      it easier to know when a synchronization is needed, and to perform
      those synchronizations. The problem with this patch is that it slows
      down disabling all events from under a second, to making it take over
      10 seconds to do the same work. But that is addressed in the final
      patch.
    
      The final patch uses the RCU state functions to keep track of the RCU
      state between the transitions, and only needs to perform the
      synchronization if an RCU synchronization hasn't been done already.
      This brings the performance of disabling all events back to its
      original value. That's because no synchronization is required between
      disabling tracepoints but is required when enabling a tracepoint after
      its been disabled. If an RCU synchronization happens after the
      tracepoint is disabled, and before it is re-enabled, there's no need
      to do the synchronization again.
    
      Both the second and third patch have subtle complexities that they are
      separated into two patches. But because the second patch causes such a
      regression in performance, the third patch adds a "Fixes" tag to the
      second patch, such that the two must be backported together and not
      just the second patch"
