When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all
modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts,
e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console.
So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the
principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to
support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which
modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function
to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It
also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers
while printk output is in progress.
All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock,
which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console
infrastructure.
To avoid adding this functionality to all UART drivers, wrap the
spin_[un]lock*() invocations for uart_port::lock into helper functions
which just contain the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for now. In a
subsequent step these helpers will gain the console synchronization
mechanisms.
Converted with coccinelle. No functional change.

When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all
modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts,
e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console.
So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the
principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to
support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which
modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function
to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It
also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers
while printk output is in progress.
All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock,
which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console
infrastructure.
To avoid adding this functionality to all UART drivers, wrap the
spin_[un]lock*() invocations for uart_port::lock into helper functions
which just contain the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for now. In a
subsequent step these helpers will gain the console synchronization
mechanisms.
Converted with coccinelle. No functional change.

There is a pid leakage:

It turns out that there is a race condition between disassociate_ctty() and
tty_signal_session_leader(), which caused this leakage.
The pid memleak is triggered by the following race:
task[sshd] task[bash]
----------------------- -----------------------
disassociate_ctty();
spin_lock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock);
put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp);
current->signal->tty_old_pgrp = NULL;
tty = tty_kref_get(current->signal->tty);
spin_unlock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock);
tty_vhangup();
tty_lock(tty);
...
tty_signal_session_leader();
spin_lock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
if (tty->ctrl.pgrp) //tty->ctrl.pgrp is not NULL
p->signal->tty_old_pgrp = get_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp); //An extra get
spin_unlock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
tty_unlock(tty);
if (tty) {
tty_lock(tty);
...
put_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp);
tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL; //It's too late
...
tty_unlock(tty);
}
The issue is believed to be introduced by commit c8bcd9c5be24 ("tty:
Fix ->session locking") who moves the unlock of siglock in
disassociate_ctty() above "if (tty)", making a small window allowing
tty_signal_session_leader() to kick in. It can be easily reproduced by
adding a delay before "if (tty)" and at the entrance of
tty_signal_session_leader().
To fix this issue, we move "put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp)" after
"tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL".

Three of the four entries of imx_uart_devdata[] use .uts_reg =
IMX21_UTS. The difference in the .devtype member isn't relevant, the
only thing that matters is if is equal to IMX1_UART.
So use an entry with .devtype = IMX21_UART on all platforms but i.MX1.
There is no need to have the dev types in an array, so split them up in
two separate variables.
The fsl,imx53-uart devinfo can go away because in the binding and also
the dts files all fsl,imx53-uart devices also are compatible to
fsl,imx21-uart. That's not the case for fsl,imx6q-uart (which is a bit
strange IMHO), so the fsl,imx6q-uart must stay around.

This reverts commit 9b9c8195f3f0d74a826077fc1c01b9ee74907239.
The commit above is reverted as it did not solve the original issue.
gsm_cleanup_mux() tries to free up the virtual ttys by calling
gsm_dlci_release() for each available DLCI. There, dlci_put() is called to
decrease the reference counter for the DLCI via tty_port_put() which
finally calls gsm_dlci_free(). This already clears the pointer which is
being checked in gsm_cleanup_mux() before calling gsm_dlci_release().
Therefore, it is not necessary to clear this pointer in gsm_cleanup_mux()
as done in the reverted commit. The commit introduces a null pointer
dereference:

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.
Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
summary is:
- Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types
- cpm_uart driver updates
- n_gsm updates and fixes
- meson driver updates
- sc16is7xx driver updates
- 8250 driver updates for different hardware types
- qcom-geni driver fixes
- tegra serial driver change
- stm32 driver updates
- synclink_gt driver cleanups
- tty structure size reduction
All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported
issues. The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size
reduction came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style
changes and size reductions, I figured they should get into this merge
cycle so that others can work on top of them with no merge conflicts"
