6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 801410b26a0e8b8a16f7915b2b55c9528b69ca87 ] During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate. In particular, for setup() we have: univ8250_console_setup() -> serial8250_console_setup() -> uart_set_options() -> serial8250_set_termios() -> serial8250_do_set_termios() -> serial8250_do_set_divisor() For config_port() we have: serial8250_config_port() -> autoconfig() For pm() we have: serial8250_pm() -> serial8250_do_pm() -> serial8250_set_sleep() For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices): serial8250_set_mctrl() -> omap8250_set_mctrl() -> __omap8250_set_mctrl() To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent the earlycon driver from running concurrently. Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called through uart_configure_port(). Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary (and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config() which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual drivers.
