This patch converts all static variables of clps711x serial driver
to dynamic allocating. In this case we are should remove console_initcall()
and declare console during driver registration. Early kernel messages can
be retrieved by add "earlyprintk" option to the kernel command line.

The global "normal" spin lock that guards the line discipline
administration is replaced by a raw spin lock. On a PREEMPT_RT system this
prevents unwanted scheduling overhead around the line discipline administration.
On a 200 MHz AT91SAM9261 processor setup this fixes about 100us of scheduling
overhead on a TTY read or write call.

The current CE4100 and 8250_pci code have both a limitation preventing the
registration and usage of CE4100's second UART. This patch changes the
platform code fixing up the UART port to work on a relative UART port
base address, as well as the 8250_pci code to make it register 2 UART ports
for CE4100 and pass the port index down to all consumers.

Modify divisor to select the nearest baud rate divider rather than the
lowest. It minimizes baud rate errors especially on low UART clock
frequencies.
For example, if uartclk is 33000000 and baud is 115200 the ratio is
about 17.9 The current code selects 17 (5% error) but should select 18
(0.5% error).
This 5% error in baud rate leads to garbage on receiving end, while 0.5%
doesn't.
The issue showed up when using the stock 8250 driver for
Synopsys DW UART. This was on a FPGA with ~12MHz UART clock.
When we enabled early serial, we saw garbage which was narrowed down
to the rounding error.
So the bug had been latent and it only showed up with such low clock rates.

When a driver has the low_latency flag set and uses the schedule_flip()
function to initiate copying data to the line discipline, a workqueue is
scheduled in but never actually flushed. This is incorrect use of the
low_latency flag (driver should not support the low_latency flag, or use
the tty_flip_buffer_push() function instead). Make sure a warning is
reported to catch incorrect use of the low_latency flag.

Instead of BUG_ON(in_interrupt()), since that doesn't check for all
the newfangled stuff like preempt.
Note that this is valid since the console_sem is essentially used like
a real mutex with only two twists:
- we allow trylock from hardirq context
- across suspend/resume we lock the logical console_lock, but drop the
semaphore protecting the locking state.
Now that doesn't guarantee that no one is playing tricks in
single-thread atomic contexts at suspend/resume/boot time, but
- I couldn't find anything suspicious with some grepping,
- might_sleep shouldn't die,
- and I think the upside of catching more potential issues is worth
the risk of getting a might_sleep backtrace that would have been
save (and then dealing with that fallout).

For that purpose we have to temporarily introduce a second tty back
pointer into tty_port. It is because serial layer, and maybe others,
still do not use tty_port_tty_set/get. So that we cannot set the
tty_port->tty to NULL at will now.
Yes, the fix would be to convert whole serial layer and all its users
to tty_port_tty_set/get. However we are in the process of removing the
need of tty in most of the call sites, so this would lead to a
duplicated work.
Instead we have now tty_port->itty (internal tty) which will be used
only in flush_to_ldisc. For that one it is ensured that itty is valid
wherever the work is run. IOW, the work is synchronously cancelled
before we set itty to NULL and also before hangup is processed.
After we need only tty_port and not tty_struct in most code, this
shall be changed to tty_port_tty_set/get and itty removed completely.

* BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty ==
NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where
we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from
tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too.
* if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's
open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have
a tty and dereference that.
* BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid
check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the
check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but
no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be
no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for.
* if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never
happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a
reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be
called until the reference is dropped.

We reintroduced tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5 (TTY: restore
tty_ldisc_wait_idle) and used in set_ldisc. Then we added it also to
the hangup path in 92f6fa09bd (TTY: ldisc, do not close until there
are readers). And we noted that there is one more path:
~ Before 65b770468e tty_ldisc_wait_idle was called also from
~ tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think
~ we need to restore that one.
Well, I was wrong. There might still be holders of an ldisc
reference. Not from userspace, but drivers. If they take a reference
and a user closes the device immediately after that, we have a
problem. ldisc is halted and closed by TTY, but the driver still may
call some ldisc's operation and cause a crash.
So restore the tty_ldisc_wait_idle call also to the third location
where it was before 65b770468e (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count
into a proper refcount). Now we should be safe with respect to the
ldisc reference counting as all* tty_ldisc_close paths are safely
called with reference count of one.
* Not the one in tty_ldisc_setup's fail path. But that is called
before the first open finishes. So userspace does not see it yet.
Even thought the driver is given the TTY already via ->install, it
should not take a reference to the ldisc yet. If some driver is to
do this, we should put one tty_ldisc_wait_idle also in the setup.

There used to be a single tty_ldisc_ref_wait. But then, when a
big-tty-mutex (BTM) was introduced, it has to be tty_ldisc_ref +
tty_unlock + tty_ldisc_ref_wait + tty_lock. Later, BTM was removed
from that path and tty_ldisc_ref + tty_ldisc_ref_wait remained there.
But it makes no sense now. So leave there only tty_ldisc_ref_wait.
And when we have a reference to an ldisc, actually use it in the loop.
Otherwise it may be racy.

When low_latency flag is set the TTY receive flip buffer is copied to the

Therefor only in case a workqueue is actually used for copying data to the

This prevents unnecessary spin lock/unlock on the workqueue spin lock that

Dave Airlie recently discovered a locking bug in the fbcon layer,
where a timer_del_sync (for the blinking cursor) deadlocks with the
timer itself, since both (want to) hold the console_lock:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36
Unfortunately the console_lock isn't a plain mutex and hence has no
lockdep support. Which resulted in a few days wasted of tracking down
this bug (complicated by the fact that printk doesn't show anything
when the console is locked) instead of noticing the bug much earlier
with the lockdep splat.
Hence I've figured I need to fix that for the next deadlock involving
console_lock - and with kms/drm growing ever more complex locking
that'll eventually happen.
Now the console_lock has rather funky semantics, so after a quick irc
discussion with Thomas Gleixner and Dave Airlie I've quickly ditched
the original idead of switching to a real mutex (since it won't work)
and instead opted to annotate the console_lock with lockdep
information manually.
There are a few special cases:
- The console_lock state is protected by the console_sem, and usually
grabbed/dropped at _lock/_unlock time. But the suspend/resume code
drops the semaphore without dropping the console_lock (see
suspend_console/resume_console). But since the same thread that did
the suspend will do the resume, we don't need to fix up anything.
- In the printk code there's a special trylock, only used to kick off
the logbuffer printk'ing in console_unlock. But all that happens
while lockdep is disable (since printk does a few other evil
tricks). So no issue there, either.
- The console_lock can also be acquired form irq context (but only
with a trylock). lockdep already handles that.
This all leaves us with annotating the normal console_lock, _unlock
and _trylock functions.
And yes, it works - simply unloading a drm kms driver resulted in
lockdep complaining about the deadlock in fbcon_deinit:

ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)
Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.
The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.
