Note: I am using a small test app + driver located at [0] for the
problem description. serco is a driver whose write function dispatches
to the serial controller. sertest is a user-mode app that writes n bytes
to the serial console using the serco driver.
While investigating a bug in the RHEL kernel, I noticed that the serial
console throughput is way below the configured speed of 115200 bps in
a HP Proliant DL380 Gen9. I was expecting something above 10KB/s, but
I got 2.5KB/s.
$ time ./sertest -n 2500 /tmp/serco
real 0m0.997s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.997s
With the help of the function tracer, I then noticed the serial
controller was taking around 410us seconds to dispatch one single byte:
$ trace-cmd record -p function_graph -g serial8250_console_write \
./sertest -n 1 /tmp/serco
$ trace-cmd report
| serial8250_console_write() {
0.384 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave();
1.836 us | io_serial_in();
1.667 us | io_serial_out();
| uart_console_write() {
| serial8250_console_putchar() {
| wait_for_xmitr() {
1.870 us | io_serial_in();
2.238 us | }
1.737 us | io_serial_out();
4.318 us | }
4.675 us | }
| wait_for_xmitr() {
1.635 us | io_serial_in();
| __const_udelay() {
1.125 us | delay_tsc();
1.429 us | }
...
...
...
1.683 us | io_serial_in();
| __const_udelay() {
1.248 us | delay_tsc();
1.486 us | }
1.671 us | io_serial_in();
411.342 us | }
In another machine, I measured a throughput of 11.5KB/s, with the serial
controller taking between 80-90us to send each byte. That matches the
expected throughput for a configuration of 115200 bps.
This patch changes the serial8250_console_write to use the 16550 fifo
if available. In my benchmarks I got around 25% improvement in the slow
machine, and no performance penalty in the fast machine.

Commit fab8a02b73 ("serial: 8250_fintek: Enable high speed mode on Fintek F81866")
introduced support to use high baudrate with Fintek SuperIO UARTs. It'll
change clocksources when the UART probed.
But when user add kernel parameter "console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0" to make
the UART as console output, the console will output garbled text after the
following kernel message.
[ 3.681188] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
The issue is occurs in following step:
probe_setup_port() -> fintek_8250_goto_highspeed()
It change clocksource from 115200 to 921600 with wrong time, it should change
clocksource in set_termios() not in probed. The following 3 patches are
implemented change clocksource in fintek_8250_set_termios().

Commit 423d9118c6 ("serial: 8250_fintek: Add F81966 Support")
Due to the high baud rate had implemented above 3 patches and the patch
Commit fab8a02b73 ("serial: 8250_fintek: Enable high speed mode on Fintek F81866")
is bugged, So this patch will remove it.

There is a small window in time during resume where the hardware
flow control signal RTS can be asserted (which allows a sender to
resume sending data to the UART) but the baud rate has not yet
been restored. This will cause corrupted data and FRAMING, OVERRUN
and BREAK errors. This is happening because the MCTRL register is
shadowed in uart_port struct and is later used during resume to set
the MCTRL register during both serial8250_do_startup() and
uart_resume_port(). Unfortunately, serial8250_do_startup()
happens before the UART baud rate is restored. The fix is to clear
the shadowed mctrl value at the end of suspend and restore it at the
end of resume.

Have pericom_do_set_divisor() always calculate the divisor rather than
call serial8250_do_set_divisor() for rates below baud_base.
Do not write registers or call serial8250_do_set_divisor() if valid

Commit f45709df77 ("serial: 8250: Don't touch RTS modem control while
in rs485 mode") sought to prevent user space from interfering with rs485
communication by ignoring a TIOCMSET ioctl() which changes RTS polarity.
It did so in serial8250_do_set_mctrl(), which turns out to be too deep
in the call stack: When a uart_port is opened, RTS polarity is set by
the rs485-aware function uart_port_dtr_rts(). It calls down to
serial8250_do_set_mctrl() and that particular RTS polarity change should
*not* be ignored.
The user-visible result is that on 8250_omap ports which use rs485 with
inverse polarity (RTS bit in MCR register is 1 to receive, 0 to send),
a newly opened port initially sets up RTS for sending instead of
receiving. That's because omap_8250_startup() sets the cached value
up->mcr to 0 and omap_8250_restore_regs() subsequently writes it to the
MCR register. Due to the commit, serial8250_do_set_mctrl() preserves
that incorrect register value:
do_sys_openat2
do_filp_open
path_openat
vfs_open
do_dentry_open
chrdev_open
tty_open
uart_open
tty_port_open
uart_port_activate
uart_startup
uart_port_startup
serial8250_startup
omap_8250_startup # up->mcr = 0
uart_change_speed
serial8250_set_termios
omap_8250_set_termios
omap_8250_restore_regs
serial8250_out_MCR # up->mcr written
tty_port_block_til_ready
uart_dtr_rts
uart_port_dtr_rts
serial8250_set_mctrl
omap8250_set_mctrl
serial8250_do_set_mctrl # mcr[1] = 1 ignored
Fix by intercepting RTS changes from user space in uart_tiocmset()
instead.

On the StarFive JH7100 RISC-V SoC the UART core clocks can't be set to
exactly 16 * 115200Hz and many other common bitrates. Trying this will
only result in a higher input clock, but low enough that the UART's
internal divisor can't come close enough to the baud rate target.
So rather than try to set the input clock it's better to skip the
clk_set_rate call and rely solely on the UART's internal divisor.

The driver was updating the port uartclk before setting the new rate in
an attempt to avoid having the clock notifier redundantly update the
divisors.
The set_termios() callback is however called under the termios semaphore
and tty-port mutex so the worker scheduled by the clock notifier will
block in serial8250_update_uartclk() until the uartclk and divisors have
been updated anyway.
Drop the unnecessary swaps and incorrect comment and simply update the
uartclk field if the clock-rate change was successful.

This reverts commit 32262e2e42.
The commit in question claims to determine the inverse of
serial8250_get_divisor() but failed to notice that some drivers override
the default implementation using a get_divisor() callback.
This means that the computed line-speed values can be completely wrong
and results in regular TCSETS requests failing (the incorrect values
would also be passed to any overridden set_divisor() callback).
Similarly, it also failed to honour the old (deprecated) ASYNC_SPD_FLAGS
and would break applications relying on those when re-encoding the
actual line speed.
There are also at least two quirks, UART_BUG_QUOT and an OMAP1510
workaround, which were happily ignored and that are now broken.
Finally, even if the offending commit were to be implemented correctly,
this is a new feature and not something which should be backported to
stable.

The SERIAL_8250_FSL option is used to enable a workaround for a
break-detection erratum for Freescale 16550 UARTs in the 8250 driver and
is currently also used to enable support for ACPI enumeration.
It is enabled on PPC, ARM and ARM64 whenever 8250 console support is
enabled (since the quirk is needed for sysrq handling).
Commit b1442c55ce ("serial: 8250: extend compile-test coverage")
enabled compile testing of the code in question but did not provide a
means to disable the option when COMPILE_TEST is enabled.
Add a conditional input prompt instead so that SERIAL_8250_FSL is no

In most cases it is not possible to set exact baudrate value to hardware.
So fix reporting real baudrate value which was set to hardware via c_ospeed
termios field. It can be retrieved by ioctl(TCGETS2) from userspace.
Real baudrate value is calculated from chosen hardware divisor and base
clock. It is implemented in a new function serial8250_compute_baud_rate()
which is inverse of serial8250_get_divisor() function.
With this change is fixed also UART timeout value (it is updated via
uart_update_timeout() function), which is calculated from the now fixed
baudrate value too.

Handle optional overrun-throttle-ms property as done for 8250_fsl in commit

noisy lines that end up producing messages like the following:
ttyS ttyS2: 4 input overrun(s)
At least on droid4, the multiplexed USB and UART port is left to UART mode
by the bootloader for a debug console, and if a USB charger is connected
on boot, we get noise on the UART until the PMIC related drivers for PHY
and charger are loaded.
With this patch and overrun-throttle-ms = <500> we avoid the extra rx
interrupts.

This attempts to fix a bug found with a serial port card which uses
an MCS9922 chip, one of the 4 models for which MSI-X interrupts are
currently supported. I don't possess such a card, and i'm not
experienced with the serial subsystem, so this patch is based on what
i think i found as a likely reason for failure, based on walking the
user who actually owns the card through some diagnostic.
The user who reported the problem finds the following in his dmesg
output for the relevant ttyS4 and ttyS5:
[ 0.580425] serial 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)
[ 0.601448] 0000:02:00.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x3010 (irq = 125, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2
[ 0.603089] serial 0000:02:00.1: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)

...
[ 6.323784] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 128. 00000080 (ttyS5) vs. 00000000 (xhci_hcd)
[ 6.324128] genirq: Flags mismatch irq 128. 00000080 (ttyS5) vs. 00000000 (xhci_hcd)
...
Output of setserial -a:
/dev/ttyS4, Line 4, UART: 16650V2, Port: 0x3010, IRQ: 127
Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
closing_wait: 3000
Flags: spd_normal skip_test
This suggests to me that the serial driver wants to register and share a
MSI/MSI-X irq 128 with the xhci_hcd driver, whereas the xhci driver does
not want to share the irq, as flags 0x00000080 (== IRQF_SHARED) from the
serial port driver means to share the irq, and this mismatch ends in some
failed irq init?
With this setup, data reception works very unreliable, with dropped data,
already at a transmission rate of only a 16 Bytes chunk every 1/120th of
a second, ie. 1920 Bytes/sec, presumably due to rx fifo overflow due to
mishandled or not used at all rx irq's?
See full discussion thread with attempted diagnosis at:
https://psychtoolbox.discourse.group/t/issues-with-iscan-serial-port-recording/3886
Disabling the use of MSI interrupts for the serial port pci card did
fix the reliability problems. The user executed the following sequence
of commands to achieve this:
echo 0000:02:00.0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/unbind
echo 0000:02:00.1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/unbind
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/msi_bus
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.1/msi_bus
echo 0000:02:00.0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/bind
echo 0000:02:00.1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/serial/bind
This resulted in the following log output:
[ 82.179021] pci 0000:02:00.0: MSI/MSI-X disallowed for future drivers
[ 87.003031] pci 0000:02:00.1: MSI/MSI-X disallowed for future drivers
[ 98.537010] 0000:02:00.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x3010 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2
[ 103.648124] 0000:02:00.1: ttyS5 at I/O 0x3000 (irq = 18, base_baud = 115200) is a ST16650V2
This patch attempts to fix the problem by disabling irq sharing when
using MSI irq's. Note that all i know for sure is that disabling MSI
irq's fixed the problem for the user, so this patch could be wrong and
is untested. Please review with caution, keeping this in mind.

Fix uart corruption issue when rx power off.
Add spin lock in mtk8250_dma_rx_complete function in APDMA mode.
when uart is used as a communication port with external device(GPS).
when external device(GPS) power off, the power of rx pin is also from
1.8v to 0v. Even if there is not any data in rx. But uart rx pin can
capture the data "0".
If uart don't receive any data in specified cycle, uart will generates
BI(Break interrupt) interrupt.
If external device(GPS) power off, we found that BI interrupt appeared
continuously and very frequently.
When uart interrupt type is BI, uart IRQ handler(8250 framwork
API:serial8250_handle_irq) will push data to tty buffer.
mtk8250_dma_rx_complete is a task of mtk_uart_apdma_rx_handler.
mtk8250_dma_rx_complete priority is lower than uart irq
handler(serial8250_handle_irq).
if we are in process of mtk8250_dma_rx_complete, uart appear BI
interrupt:1)serial8250_handle_irq will priority execution.2)it may cause
write tty buffer conflict in mtk8250_dma_rx_complete.
So the spin lock protect the rx receive data process is not break.

Oxford Semiconductor 950 serial port devices have a 128-byte FIFO and in
the enhanced (650) mode, which we select in `autoconfig_has_efr' with
the ECB bit set in the EFR register, they support the receive interrupt
trigger level selectable with FCR bits 7:6 from the set of 16, 32, 112,
120. This applies to the original OX16C950 discrete UART[1] as well as
950 cores embedded into more complex devices.
For these devices we set the default to 112, which sets an excessively
high level of 112 or 7/8 of the FIFO capacity, unlike with other port
types where we choose at most 1/2 of their respective FIFO capacities.
Additionally we don't make the trigger level configurable. Consequently
frequent input overruns happen with high bit rates where hardware flow
control cannot be used (e.g. terminal applications) even with otherwise
highly-performant systems.
Lower the default receive interrupt trigger level to 32 then, and make
it configurable. Document the trigger levels along with other port
types, including the set of 16, 32, 64, 112 for the transmit interrupt
as well[2].
