This reverts commit 5c7e105cd156fc9adf5294a83623d7a40c15f9b9.
As identified by KASAN, the simplification done by the cleanup patch
was not legal.
>From tracing through the code, it can be seen that we're transmitting
from a 4096-byte circular buffer. We copy anywhere from 1-4 bytes from
it each time. The simplification runs into trouble when we get near
the end of the circular buffer. For instance, we might start out with
xmit->tail = 4094 and we want to transfer 4 bytes. With the code
before simplification this was no problem. We'd read buf[4094],
buf[4095], buf[0], and buf[1]. With the new code we'll do a
memcpy(&buf[4094], 4) which reads 2 bytes past the end of the buffer
and then skips transmitting what's at buf[0] and buf[1].
KASAN isn't 100% consistent at reporting this for me, but to be extra
confident in the analysis, I added traces of the tail and tx_bytes and
then wrote a test program:
while true; do
echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0" > /dev/ttyMSM0
sleep .1
done
I watched the traces over SSH and saw:
qcom_geni_serial_send_chunk_fifo: 4093 4
qcom_geni_serial_send_chunk_fifo: 1 3
Which indicated that one byte should be missing. Sure enough the
output that should have been:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0
In one case was actually missing a byte:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyz0
Running "ls -al" on large directories also made the missing bytes
obvious since columns didn't line up.
While the original code may not be the most elegant, we only talking
about copying up to 4 bytes here. Let's just go back to the code that
worked.

If folks really want me to, I can adjust the patch to try to detect if
the circular buffer is going to wrap and still use the memcpy(). Let
me know.
