Merge tag 'tty-5.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty
Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty/serial driver updates for 5.17-rc1.

  Nothing major in here, just lots of good updates and fixes, including:

   - more tty core cleanups from Jiri as well as mxser driver cleanups.
     This is the majority of the core diffstat

   - tty documentation updates from Jiri

   - platform_get_irq() updates

   - various serial driver updates for new features and hardware

   - fifo usage for 8250 console, reducing cpu load a lot

   - LED fix for keyboards, long-time bugfix that went through many
     revisions

   - minor cleanups

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported problems"

-=================
-The Lockronomicon
-=================
-
-Your guide to the ancient and twisted locking policies of the tty layer and
-the warped logic behind them. Beware all ye who read on.
-
-
-Line Discipline
----------------
-
-Line disciplines are registered with tty_register_ldisc() passing the
-discipline number and the ldisc structure. At the point of registration the
-discipline must be ready to use and it is possible it will get used before
-the call returns success. If the call returns an error then it won't get
-called. Do not re-use ldisc numbers as they are part of the userspace ABI
-and writing over an existing ldisc will cause demons to eat your computer.
-After the return the ldisc data has been copied so you may free your own
-copy of the structure. You must not re-register over the top of the line
-discipline even with the same data or your computer again will be eaten by
-demons.
-
-In order to remove a line discipline call tty_unregister_ldisc().
-In ancient times this always worked. In modern times the function will
-return -EBUSY if the ldisc is currently in use. Since the ldisc referencing
-code manages the module counts this should not usually be a concern.
-
-Heed this warning: the reference count field of the registered copies of the
-tty_ldisc structure in the ldisc table counts the number of lines using this
-discipline. The reference count of the tty_ldisc structure within a tty
-counts the number of active users of the ldisc at this instant. In effect it
-counts the number of threads of execution within an ldisc method (plus those
-about to enter and exit although this detail matters not).
-
-Line Discipline Methods
------------------------
-
-TTY side interfaces
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-======================= =======================================================
-open()			Called when the line discipline is attached to
-			the terminal. No other call into the line
-			discipline for this tty will occur until it
-			completes successfully. Should initialize any
-			state needed by the ldisc, and set receive_room
-			in the tty_struct to the maximum amount of data
-			the line discipline is willing to accept from the
-			driver with a single call to receive_buf().
-			Returning an error will prevent the ldisc from
-			being attached. Can sleep.
-
-close()			This is called on a terminal when the line
-			discipline is being unplugged. At the point of
-			execution no further users will enter the
-			ldisc code for this tty. Can sleep.
-
-hangup()		Called when the tty line is hung up.
-			The line discipline should cease I/O to the tty.
-			No further calls into the ldisc code will occur.
-			Can sleep.
-
-read()			(optional) A process requests reading data from
-			the line. Multiple read calls may occur in parallel
-			and the ldisc must deal with serialization issues.
-			If not defined, the process will receive an EIO
-			error. May sleep.
-
-write()			(optional) A process requests writing data to the
-			line. Multiple write calls are serialized by the
-			tty layer for the ldisc. If not defined, the
-			process will receive an EIO error. May sleep.
-
-flush_buffer()		(optional) May be called at any point between
-			open and close, and instructs the line discipline
-			to empty its input buffer.
-
-set_termios()		(optional) Called on termios structure changes.
-			The caller passes the old termios data and the
-			current data is in the tty. Called under the
-			termios semaphore so allowed to sleep. Serialized
-			against itself only.
-
-poll()			(optional) Check the status for the poll/select
-			calls. Multiple poll calls may occur in parallel.
-			May sleep.
-
-ioctl()			(optional) Called when an ioctl is handed to the
-			tty layer that might be for the ldisc. Multiple
-			ioctl calls may occur in parallel. May sleep.
-
-compat_ioctl()		(optional) Called when a 32 bit ioctl is handed
-			to the tty layer that might be for the ldisc.
-			Multiple ioctl calls may occur in parallel.
-			May sleep.
-======================= =======================================================
-
-Driver Side Interfaces
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-======================= =======================================================
-receive_buf()		(optional) Called by the low-level driver to hand
-			a buffer of received bytes to the ldisc for
-			processing. The number of bytes is guaranteed not
-			to exceed the current value of tty->receive_room.
-			All bytes must be processed.
-
-receive_buf2()		(optional) Called by the low-level driver to hand
-			a buffer of received bytes to the ldisc for
-			processing. Returns the number of bytes processed.
-
-			If both receive_buf() and receive_buf2() are
-			defined, receive_buf2() should be preferred.
-
-write_wakeup()		May be called at any point between open and close.
-			The TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP flag indicates if a call
-			is needed but always races versus calls. Thus the
-			ldisc must be careful about setting order and to
-			handle unexpected calls. Must not sleep.
-
-			The driver is forbidden from calling this directly
-			from the ->write call from the ldisc as the ldisc
-			is permitted to call the driver write method from
-			this function. In such a situation defer it.
-
-dcd_change()		Report to the tty line the current DCD pin status
-			changes and the relative timestamp. The timestamp
-			cannot be NULL.
-======================= =======================================================
-
-
-Driver Access
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Line discipline methods can call the following methods of the underlying
-hardware driver through the function pointers within the tty->driver
-structure:
-
-======================= =======================================================
-write()			Write a block of characters to the tty device.
-			Returns the number of characters accepted. The
-			character buffer passed to this method is already
-			in kernel space.
-
-put_char()		Queues a character for writing to the tty device.
-			If there is no room in the queue, the character is
-			ignored.
-
-flush_chars()		(Optional) If defined, must be called after
-			queueing characters with put_char() in order to
-			start transmission.
-
-write_room()		Returns the numbers of characters the tty driver
-			will accept for queueing to be written.
-
-ioctl()			Invoke device specific ioctl.
-			Expects data pointers to refer to userspace.
-			Returns ENOIOCTLCMD for unrecognized ioctl numbers.
-
-set_termios()		Notify the tty driver that the device's termios
-			settings have changed. New settings are in
-			tty->termios. Previous settings should be passed in
-			the "old" argument.
-
-			The API is defined such that the driver should return
-			the actual modes selected. This means that the
-			driver function is responsible for modifying any
-			bits in the request it cannot fulfill to indicate
-			the actual modes being used. A device with no
-			hardware capability for change (e.g. a USB dongle or
-			virtual port) can provide NULL for this method.
-
-throttle()		Notify the tty driver that input buffers for the
-			line discipline are close to full, and it should
-			somehow signal that no more characters should be
-			sent to the tty.
-
-unthrottle()		Notify the tty driver that characters can now be
-			sent to the tty without fear of overrunning the
-			input buffers of the line disciplines.
-
-stop()			Ask the tty driver to stop outputting characters
-			to the tty device.
-
-start()			Ask the tty driver to resume sending characters
-			to the tty device.
-
-hangup()		Ask the tty driver to hang up the tty device.
-
-break_ctl()		(Optional) Ask the tty driver to turn on or off
-			BREAK status on the RS-232 port.  If state is -1,
-			then the BREAK status should be turned on; if
-			state is 0, then BREAK should be turned off.
-			If this routine is not implemented, use ioctls
-			TIOCSBRK / TIOCCBRK instead.
-
-wait_until_sent()	Waits until the device has written out all of the
-			characters in its transmitter FIFO.
-
-send_xchar()		Send a high-priority XON/XOFF character to the device.
-======================= =======================================================
-
-
-Flags
-^^^^^
-
-Line discipline methods have access to tty->flags field containing the
-following interesting flags:
-
-======================= =======================================================
-TTY_THROTTLED		Driver input is throttled. The ldisc should call
-			tty->driver->unthrottle() in order to resume
-			reception when it is ready to process more data.
-
-TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP	If set, causes the driver to call the ldisc's
-			write_wakeup() method in order to resume
-			transmission when it can accept more data
-			to transmit.
-
-TTY_IO_ERROR		If set, causes all subsequent userspace read/write
-			calls on the tty to fail, returning -EIO.
-
-TTY_OTHER_CLOSED	Device is a pty and the other side has closed.
-
-TTY_NO_WRITE_SPLIT	Prevent driver from splitting up writes into
-			smaller chunks.
-======================= =======================================================
-
-
-Locking
-^^^^^^^
-
-Callers to the line discipline functions from the tty layer are required to
-take line discipline locks. The same is true of calls from the driver side
-but not yet enforced.
-
-Three calls are now provided::
-
-	ldisc = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
-
-takes a handle to the line discipline in the tty and returns it. If no ldisc
-is currently attached or the ldisc is being closed and re-opened at this
-point then NULL is returned. While this handle is held the ldisc will not
-change or go away::
-
-	tty_ldisc_deref(ldisc)
-
-Returns the ldisc reference and allows the ldisc to be closed. Returning the
-reference takes away your right to call the ldisc functions until you take
-a new reference::
-
-	ldisc = tty_ldisc_ref_wait(tty);
-
-Performs the same function as tty_ldisc_ref except that it will wait for an
-ldisc change to complete and then return a reference to the new ldisc.
-
-While these functions are slightly slower than the old code they should have
-minimal impact as most receive logic uses the flip buffers and they only
-need to take a reference when they push bits up through the driver.
-
-A caution: The ldisc->open(), ldisc->close() and driver->set_ldisc
-functions are called with the ldisc unavailable. Thus tty_ldisc_ref will
-fail in this situation if used within these functions. Ldisc and driver
-code calling its own functions must be careful in this case.
-
-
-Driver Interface
-----------------
-
-======================= =======================================================
-open()			Called when a device is opened. May sleep
-
-close()			Called when a device is closed. At the point of
-			return from this call the driver must make no
-			further ldisc calls of any kind. May sleep
-
-write()			Called to write bytes to the device. May not
-			sleep. May occur in parallel in special cases.
-			Because this includes panic paths drivers generally
-			shouldn't try and do clever locking here.
-
-put_char()		Stuff a single character onto the queue. The
-			driver is guaranteed following up calls to
-			flush_chars.
-
-flush_chars()		Ask the kernel to write put_char queue
-
-write_room()		Return the number of characters that can be stuffed
-			into the port buffers without overflow (or less).
-			The ldisc is responsible for being intelligent
-			about multi-threading of write_room/write calls
-
-ioctl()			Called when an ioctl may be for the driver
-
-set_termios()		Called on termios change, serialized against
-			itself by a semaphore. May sleep.
-
-set_ldisc()		Notifier for discipline change. At the point this
-			is done the discipline is not yet usable. Can now
-			sleep (I think)
-
-throttle()		Called by the ldisc to ask the driver to do flow
-			control.  Serialization including with unthrottle
-			is the job of the ldisc layer.
-
-unthrottle()		Called by the ldisc to ask the driver to stop flow
-			control.
-
-stop()			Ldisc notifier to the driver to stop output. As with
-			throttle the serializations with start() are down
-			to the ldisc layer.
-
-start()			Ldisc notifier to the driver to start output.
-
-hangup()		Ask the tty driver to cause a hangup initiated
-			from the host side. [Can sleep ??]
-
-break_ctl()		Send RS232 break. Can sleep. Can get called in
-			parallel, driver must serialize (for now), and
-			with write calls.
-
-wait_until_sent()	Wait for characters to exit the hardware queue
-			of the driver. Can sleep
-
-send_xchar()	  	Send XON/XOFF and if possible jump the queue with
-			it in order to get fast flow control responses.
-			Cannot sleep ??

+
+Teletypewriter (TTY) layer takes care of all those serial devices. Including
+the virtual ones like pseudoterminal (PTY).
+
+TTY structures
+==============
+
+There are several major TTY structures. Every TTY device in a system has a
+corresponding struct tty_port. These devices are maintained by a TTY driver
+which is struct tty_driver. This structure describes the driver but also
+contains a reference to operations which could be performed on the TTYs. It is
+struct tty_operations. Then, upon open, a struct tty_struct is allocated and
+lives until the final close. During this time, several callbacks from struct
+tty_operations are invoked by the TTY layer.
+
+Every character received by the kernel (both from devices and users) is passed
+through a preselected :doc:`tty_ldisc` (in
+short ldisc; in C, struct tty_ldisc_ops). Its task is to transform characters
+as defined by a particular ldisc or by user too. The default one is n_tty,
+implementing echoes, signal handling, jobs control, special characters
+processing, and more. The transformed characters are passed further to
+user/device, depending on the source.
+
+In-detail description of the named TTY structures is in separate documents:
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 2
+
+   tty_driver
+   tty_port
+   tty_struct
+   tty_ldisc
+   tty_buffer
+   n_tty
+   tty_internals
+
+Writing TTY Driver
+==================
+
+Before one starts writing a TTY driver, they must consider
+:doc:`Serial <../driver-api/serial/driver>` and :doc:`USB Serial
+<../usb/usb-serial>` layers
+first. Drivers for serial devices can often use one of these specific layers to
+implement a serial driver. Only special devices should be handled directly by
+the TTY Layer. If you are about to write such a driver, read on.
+
+A *typical* sequence a TTY driver performs is as follows:
+
+#. Allocate and register a TTY driver (module init)
+#. Create and register TTY devices as they are probed (probe function)
+#. Handle TTY operations and events like interrupts (TTY core invokes the
+   former, the device the latter)
+#. Remove devices as they are going away (remove function)
+#. Unregister and free the TTY driver (module exit)
+
+Steps regarding driver, i.e. 1., 3., and 5. are described in detail in
+:doc:`tty_driver`. For the other two (devices handling), look into
+:doc:`tty_port`.

+TTY Driver and TTY Operations
+=============================
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+Allocation
+==========
+
+The first thing a driver needs to do is to allocate a struct tty_driver. This
+is done by tty_alloc_driver() (or __tty_alloc_driver()). Next, the newly
+allocated structure is filled with information. See `TTY Driver Reference`_ at
+the end of this document on what actually shall be filled in.
+
+The allocation routines expect a number of devices the driver can handle at
+most and flags. Flags are those starting ``TTY_DRIVER_`` listed and described
+in `TTY Driver Flags`_ below.
+
+When the driver is about to be freed, tty_driver_kref_put() is called on that.
+It will decrements the reference count and if it reaches zero, the driver is
+freed.
+
+For reference, both allocation and deallocation functions are explained here in
+detail:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+   :identifiers: __tty_alloc_driver tty_driver_kref_put
+
+TTY Driver Flags
+----------------
+
+Here comes the documentation of flags accepted by tty_alloc_driver() (or
+__tty_alloc_driver()):
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/tty_driver.h
+   :doc: TTY Driver Flags
+
+----
+
+Registration
+============
+
+When a struct tty_driver is allocated and filled in, it can be registered using
+tty_register_driver(). It is recommended to pass ``TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV`` in
+flags of tty_alloc_driver(). If it is not passed, *all* devices are also
+registered during tty_register_driver() and the following paragraph of
+registering devices can be skipped for such drivers. However, the struct
+tty_port part in `Registering Devices`_ is still relevant there.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+   :identifiers: tty_register_driver tty_unregister_driver
+
+Registering Devices
+-------------------
+
+Every TTY device shall be backed by a struct tty_port. Usually, TTY drivers
+embed tty_port into device's private structures. Further details about handling
+tty_port can be found in :doc:`tty_port`. The driver is also recommended to use
+tty_port's reference counting by tty_port_get() and tty_port_put(). The final
+put is supposed to free the tty_port including the device's private struct.
+
+Unless ``TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV`` was passed as flags to tty_alloc_driver(),
+TTY driver is supposed to register every device discovered in the system
+(the latter is preferred). This is performed by tty_register_device(). Or by
+tty_register_device_attr() if the driver wants to expose some information
+through struct attribute_group. Both of them register ``index``'th device and
+upon return, the device can be opened. There are also preferred tty_port
+variants described in `Linking Devices to Ports`_ later. It is up to driver to
+manage free indices and choosing the right one. The TTY layer only refuses to
+register more devices than passed to tty_alloc_driver().
+
+When the device is opened, the TTY layer allocates struct tty_struct and starts
+calling operations from :c:member:`tty_driver.ops`, see `TTY Operations
+Reference`_.
+
+The registration routines are documented as follows:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+   :identifiers: tty_register_device tty_register_device_attr
+        tty_unregister_device
+
+----
+
+Linking Devices to Ports
+------------------------
+As stated earlier, every TTY device shall have a struct tty_port assigned to
+it. It must be known to the TTY layer at :c:member:`tty_driver.ops.install()`
+at latest.  There are few helpers to *link* the two. Ideally, the driver uses
+tty_port_register_device() or tty_port_register_device_attr() instead of
+tty_register_device() and tty_register_device_attr() at the registration time.
+This way, the driver needs not care about linking later on.
+
+If that is not possible, the driver still can link the tty_port to a specific
+index *before* the actual registration by tty_port_link_device(). If it still
+does not fit, tty_port_install() can be used from the
+:c:member:`tty_driver.ops.install` hook as a last resort. The last one is
+dedicated mostly for in-memory devices like PTY where tty_ports are allocated
+on demand.
+
+The linking routines are documented here:
+

+TTY line discipline process all incoming and outgoing character from/to a tty

+fails, N_NULL takes over. That never fails, but also does not process any
+characters -- it throws them away.
+
+Registration
+============
+
+Line disciplines are registered with tty_register_ldisc() passing the ldisc
+structure. At the point of registration the discipline must be ready to use and
+it is possible it will get used before the call returns success. If the call
+returns an error then it won’t get called. Do not re-use ldisc numbers as they
+are part of the userspace ABI and writing over an existing ldisc will cause
+demons to eat your computer. You must not re-register over the top of the line
+discipline even with the same data or your computer again will be eaten by
+demons. In order to remove a line discipline call tty_unregister_ldisc().
+
+Heed this warning: the reference count field of the registered copies of the
+tty_ldisc structure in the ldisc table counts the number of lines using this
+discipline. The reference count of the tty_ldisc structure within a tty counts
+the number of active users of the ldisc at this instant. In effect it counts
+the number of threads of execution within an ldisc method (plus those about to

+ *
+ * @open: [TTY] ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
+ *
+ *	This function is called when the line discipline is associated with the
+ *	@tty. No other call into the line discipline for this tty will occur
+ *	until it completes successfully. It should initialize any state needed
+ *	by the ldisc, and set @tty->receive_room to the maximum amount of data
+ *	the line discipline is willing to accept from the driver with a single
+ *	call to @receive_buf(). Returning an error will prevent the ldisc from
+ *	being attached.
+ *
+ *	Can sleep.
+ *
+ * @close: [TTY] ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
+ *
+ *	This function is called when the line discipline is being shutdown,
+ *	either because the @tty is being closed or because the @tty is being
+ *	changed to use a new line discipline. At the point of execution no
+ *	further users will enter the ldisc code for this tty.
+ *
+ *	Can sleep.
+ *
+ * @flush_buffer: [TTY] ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
+ *
+ *	This function instructs the line discipline to clear its buffers of any
+ *	input characters it may have queued to be delivered to the user mode
+ *	process. It may be called at any point between open and close.
+ *
+ * @read: [TTY] ``ssize_t ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct file *file,
+ *		unsigned char *buf, size_t nr)``
+ *
+ *	This function is called when the user requests to read from the @tty.
+ *	The line discipline will return whatever characters it has buffered up
+ *	for the user. If this function is not defined, the user will receive
+ *	an %EIO error. Multiple read calls may occur in parallel and the ldisc
+ *	must deal with serialization issues.
+ *
+ *	Can sleep.
+ *
+ * @write: [TTY] ``ssize_t ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct file *file,
+ *		const unsigned char *buf, size_t nr)``
+ *
+ *	This function is called when the user requests to write to the @tty.
+ *	The line discipline will deliver the characters to the low-level tty

+ *	characters first. If this function is not defined, the user will
+ *	receive an %EIO error.
+ *
+ *	Can sleep.
+ *
+ * @ioctl: [TTY] ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned int cmd,
+ *		unsigned long arg)``
+ *
+ *	This function is called when the user requests an ioctl which is not
+ *	handled by the tty layer or the low-level tty driver. It is intended
+ *	for ioctls which affect line discpline operation.  Note that the search
+ *	order for ioctls is (1) tty layer, (2) tty low-level driver, (3) line
+ *	discpline. So a low-level driver can "grab" an ioctl request before
+ *	the line discpline has a chance to see it.
+ *
+ * @compat_ioctl: [TTY] ``int ()(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned int cmd,
+ *		unsigned long arg)``
+ *
+ *	Process ioctl calls from 32-bit process on 64-bit system.
+ *
+ *	Note that only ioctls that are neither "pointer to compatible
+ *	structure" nor tty-generic.  Something private that takes an integer or
+ *	a pointer to wordsize-sensitive structure belongs here, but most of
+ *	ldiscs will happily leave it %NULL.
+ *
+ * @set_termios: [TTY] ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty, struct ktermios *old)``
+ *
+ *	This function notifies the line discpline that a change has been made
+ *	to the termios structure.
+ *

+ *	device. It is solely the responsibility of the line discipline to
+ *	handle poll requests.
+ *
+ * @hangup: [TTY] ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
+ *
+ *	Called on a hangup. Tells the discipline that it should cease I/O to

+ *
+ * @receive_buf: [DRV] ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty,

+ *
+ *	This function is called by the low-level tty driver to send characters
+ *	received by the hardware to the line discpline for processing. @cp is
