Universal Serial Ports (USP) can be used as PCM, UART, SPI, I2S etc. this makes the USP work as UART. the basic work flow is same with UART controller, the main difference will be offset of registers and bits. this patch makes the old sirfsoc uart driver support both sirf UART and USP-based UART by making their differences become private data.

devicetrees may have a linux,stdout-path property in the chosen node describing the console device. This adds a helper function to match a device against this property so a driver can call add_preferred_console for a matching device.

Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring a read lock on the same r/w semaphore. Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph, merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write. Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without triggering lockdep.

This patch guards the console_drivers list to be corrupted. The for_each_console() macro insist on a strictly forward list ended by NULL: con0->next->con1->next->NULL Without this patch it may happen easily to destroy this list for example by adding 'earlyprintk' twice, especially on embedded devices where the early console is often a single static instance. This will result in the following list: con0->next->con0 This in turn will result in an endless loop in console_unlock() later on by printing the first __log_buf line endlessly.

The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was hardcoded for some reason. This made it impossible to change the color for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles. Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch. Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

The MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG is originally used to check if the DT node is configured with the DMA property. But now, the MXS_AUART_DMA_CONFIG is set unconditionally in the serial_mxs_probe_dt(), so the check in the mxs_auart_settermios() is not necessary anymore. This patch removes this macro.

The original DMA support works only when RTS/CTS is enabled. (see the "e8001632 serial: mxs-auart: add the DMA support for mx28") But after several patches, DMA support has lost this limit. (see the "bcc20f9e serial: mxs-auart: move to use generic DMA helper") So an UART without the RTS/CTS lines may also enables the DMA support, in which case the UART may gets unpredictable results. This patch adds an optional property for the UART DT node which indicates the UART has RTS and CTS lines, and it also means you enable the DMA support for this UART. This patch also adds a macro MXS_AUART_RTSCTS, and uses it to check RTS/CTS before we enable the DMA for the UART.

Paul Moore authored
NetLabel has the ability to selectively assign network security labels to outbound traffic based on either the LSM's "domain" (different for each LSM), the network destination, or a combination of both. Depending on the type of traffic, local or forwarded, and the type of traffic selector, domain or address based, different hooks are used to label the traffic; the goal being minimal overhead. Unfortunately, there is a bug such that a system using NetLabel domain based traffic selectors does not correctly label outbound local traffic that is not assigned to a socket. The issue is that in these cases the associated NetLabel hook only looks at the address based selectors and not the domain based selectors. This patch corrects this by checking both the domain and address based selectors so that the correct labeling is applied, regardless of the configuration type. In order to acomplish this fix, this patch also simplifies some of the NetLabel domainhash structures to use a more common outbound traffic mapping type: struct netlbl_dommap_def. This simplifies some of the code in this patch and paves the way for further simplifications in the future. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all. The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen() shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX). Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless. before: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 net.core.somaxconn = 65536 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 net.core.somaxconn = -100 after: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" Based on a prior patch from Changli Gao.
