paste_selection()
In paste_selection(), the loop copies min_t(unsigned int,
vc_sel.buf_len - pasted,tty->receive_room) bytes per iteration into
tty_ldisc_receive_buf() and increments pasted += count.
Because the selection mutex (vc_sel.lock) is dropped inside the loop
Whenever the line discipline buffer fills up and paste_selection()
sleeps on tty->write_wait, a concurrent TIOCLINUX (TIOCL_SETSEL) ioctl
can replace vc_sel.buffer with a shorter selection and reduce
vc_sel.buf_len below pasted.
When paste_selection() resumes, vc_sel.buf_len - pasted underflows as an
unsigned integer to a large positive value, causing
tty_ldisc_receive_buf(ld, vc_sel.buffer + pasted, NULL, count) to read
up to 4094 bytes out-of-bounds past the newly allocated vc_sel.buffer.
Fix this by terminating the loop when pasted >= vc_sel.buf_len.

[BUG]
Recently, we encountered a KASAN warning as follows:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fb_pad_aligned_buffer+0x11f/0x140

reproduce:
1) open /dev/tty0, set a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET,
op.width = 8 and op.height = 16 (visible VC1)
2) open /dev/tty1, set a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET,
op.width = 28 and op.height = 24 (invisible VC2)
3) echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all
4) write EShash8(esc hash8) to tty1
[CAUSE]
All VCs render to the framebuffer. setfont only modifies the target VC's
font without resizing the framebuffer backing buffer (par->rotated.buf);
the buffer is only resized for the visible VC
(fbcon_do_set_font -> ... -> vc_do_resize -> update_screen). This relies on
the con_should_update() check performed before every update_region().
However, the ESC # 8 path (do_con_trol -> do_update_region) omits the
con_should_update() check. After changing the font size of an invisible VC,
do_update_region() fills using the new font size against a buffer that was
never resized, causing an out-of-bounds access.
[FIX]
Only push the update when the console is visible and not blanked, add
the con_should_update() check in the do_con_trol() like every other call
site of do_update_region() (update_region(), invert_screen(), ...).

The reload of 'vc' added by commit 8fb9ea65c9d1 ("vc_screen: reload load
of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_write() to avoid UAF") sits after the
'if (ret)' block, so the copy-failure break path exits the loop without
reloading vc. If the vc was kfree()'d via vc_port_destruct during the
unlocked copy_from_user() window, the post-loop
'if (written && vc) vcs_scr_updated(vc)' is reached with a stale
non-NULL vc. The '&& vc' guard from commit a287620312dc ("vc_screen:
fix null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier() during concurrent vcs_write") only
handles the NULL case, not this stale-non-NULL case; vcs_notifier() then
reads param->vc->vc_num from freed memory:

With the TX trigger set to 8 free spaces, THRI is generated roughly once
per 8 transmitted bytes. At 115200 baud 8N1, this corresponds to
approximately 0.7 ms between TX refill events.
Set the TX trigger to 32 free spaces via TLR[3:0]. This makes each refill
larger and reduces the refill rate by about 4x. At 115200 baud 8N1, the
refill cadence becomes approximately 2.8 ms.
The trade-off is that the time-to-empty after THRI asserts is reduced
from 56 to 32 byte times. The fresh-TXLVL refill loop fills the hardware
TX FIFO strictly below whichever trigger is selected. This patch changes
only the refill frequency and the associated latency trade-off.
With the two TX gap fixes applied in both configurations, changing the
trigger from 8 to 32 free spaces produced the following median values
from repeated top snapshots under the same continuous Modbus RTU load.
Each transaction used an 8-byte RX request and a 255-byte TX response,
so the workload was dominated by TX traffic:
trigger=8 trigger=32
SPI IRQ thread CPU 15% 5%
system CPU 44% 29%
idle CPU 40% 52%
one-minute load 2.02 0.99
The datasets contain 547 snapshots with trigger=8 and 535 snapshots with
trigger=32.
Only TLR[3:0] is changed. TLR[7:4] remains zero so the RX trigger retains
its FCR setting. RX trigger tuning may also be useful, but generic RX/TX
trigger configuration is left for follow-up work.
SC16IS7XX_TX_TRIGGER_LEVEL is used for both the programmed TLR value and
the TXLVL refill-loop threshold, keeping the hardware trigger and the
software refill condition synchronized.
TCR/TLR access requires EFR[4] and MCR[2], which are already enabled by
the TCR setup immediately preceding the TLR write.

sc16is7xx_handle_tx() reads TXLVL once and sizes the hardware TX FIFO
write from that value. TXLVL reports free space in the hardware TX FIFO.
On this SPI-backed path, hardirq/softirq activity, RT scheduling, and
waiting for synchronous SPI transfers can delay the refill while the UART
continues draining. The TXLVL value can therefore become stale before the
hardware TX FIFO write completes.
One failing ftrace with the default 8-free-space trigger showed:
tx_start txlvl=9 txlvl_read_us=580
tx_pre_write sent=9 pre_write_us=16
tx_segment sent=9 seg_us=364
tx_post_write txlvl_before=9 sent=9 txlvl_after=12 pending_after=29
post_gap_us=12 post_txlvl_us=130
The driver read 9 free spaces and wrote 9 bytes to the hardware TX FIFO,
but the post-write TXLVL read still reported 12 free spaces while 29 bytes
remained queued in the xmit kfifo. Even allowing for the post-write read
window, the hardware TX FIFO had not been filled below the 8-free-space
trigger, so no new threshold crossing was expected.
The captured failing samples had the same pattern: data remained queued
in the xmit kfifo while post-write TXLVL remained above the hardware
trigger. The hardware TX FIFO then drained empty before another refill
was requested, producing an unintended gap on the wire.
Fix this by re-reading TXLVL after each hardware TX FIFO write while data
remains queued in the xmit kfifo. If TXLVL is still at or above the
trigger, top up the hardware TX FIFO again. Stop when the xmit kfifo is
empty or a TXLVL read confirms that hardware TX FIFO free space is
strictly below the trigger.
Stopping when TXLVL was equal to the trigger still allowed TX gaps in the
tested workload. Continuing until TXLVL was strictly below the trigger
eliminated the observed gaps caused by stale-TXLVL under-fill.
Program the hardware TX trigger explicitly through TLR using the same
constant as the refill-loop threshold. This prevents the software refill
condition from diverging from the programmed hardware trigger.
Tested on SC16IS752 over 1 MHz SPI on an i.MX6ULL single-core
PREEMPT_RT system, transmitting RS-485 at 115200 baud 8N1 under
continuous Modbus RTU load.

tegra_uart_fifo_reset() applies the Tegra30 workaround for
"cannot clear the Tx FIFO while FIFO mode is enabled"
unconditionally: it leaves FIFO mode, writes the requested FCR
clear bits, and re-enters FIFO mode. Leaving FIFO mode empties
both FIFOs, so an Rx-only reset discards queued Tx data as well.
The break handler in tegra_uart_decode_rx_error() calls it with
UART_FCR_CLEAR_RCVR only. On a half-duplex RS485 board whose Rx
line is pulled low while the transceiver drives the bus, every
transmission raises a spurious break, and all but the first
character of the frame is lost.
Only take the FIFO-mode path when the caller actually asked for
CLEAR_XMIT. Likewise only wait for TEMT in that case: with the Tx
FIFO deliberately left intact, that loop would otherwise spin for
a full frame time in hard IRQ context with the port lock held.
Tested on a Colibri T30 (Tegra30) with Rx DMA:
- Break during transmission: the reset still fires from
tegra_uart_decode_rx_error(), and the complete frame now
reaches the peer. Before this change only the character in
the shift register was sent.
- Internal loopback with a generated break: the Rx FIFO is
correctly cleared by the plain FCR write, and subsequent
receive works with no frame, parity or overrun errors.

kfifo_out_linear_ptr() returns only one contiguous linear segment of the
xmit kfifo. When transmit data wraps around the end of the kfifo, only
the first segment up to the buffer end is sent. The remaining data at
the start of the kfifo is not sent until the next TX interrupt fires,
resulting in a visible mid-frame TX gap on the wire.
The resulting gap is unintended: data remains queued in the xmit kfifo,
but the hardware TX FIFO drains empty before the remaining segment is
sent. Such gaps can break timing-sensitive serial protocols such as
Modbus RTU.
Modbus RTU requires a message to be transmitted as a continuous stream.
For baud rates above 19200, the Modbus Serial Line guide recommends a
fixed 750 us inter-character timeout. On the tested 115200-baud system,
oscilloscope measurements showed mid-frame gaps exceeding that value.
Receivers using the recommended timeout may therefore discard the
incomplete message.
The incomplete transfer also causes unnecessary TX interrupts: instead
of using all available hardware TX FIFO space in one go, the driver
requires an extra interrupt to send the remaining segment after the
wrap.
After the tty xmit buffer was converted to a kfifo, the driver used
uart_fifo_out() to copy data into a linear staging buffer, allowing a
transfer to span the kfifo wrap-around boundary. Commit 133f4c00b8b2
("serial: sc16is7xx: fix TX fifo corruption") replaced uart_fifo_out()
with a single kfifo_out_linear_ptr() call to remove the shared TX/RX
buffer. Since kfifo_out_linear_ptr() exposes only one contiguous
segment, that change lost the wrap-around handling.
Fix this by calling kfifo_out_linear_ptr() in a loop, advancing through
all contiguous segments until the available hardware TX FIFO space is
exhausted or the xmit kfifo is empty.
This fixes the kfifo wrap-around gap independently of the stale-TXLVL
refill issue.
Tested on SC16IS752 over SPI driving RS-485 at 115200 baud 8N1 on an
i.MX6ULL-based board. Oscilloscope measurements confirmed mid-frame
breaks at the kfifo wrap-around boundary before the fix; no such breaks
were observed afterward.

Resetting saved termios state on device registration is needed where a
minor number can be reused for an entirely different device and where
the old settings may prevent the port from even being opened (e.g. when
CLOCAL is not set).
Not all TTY drivers guarantee that the minor number is no longer in use
when registering devices however, something which can lead to a
use-after-free when closing a TTY (and saving its termios) races with
re-registration.
Add a new TTY_DRIVER_RESET_SAVED_TERMIOS flag to request that any saved
termios state is reset on registration and only set it for drivers that
make sure that the minor number is no longer in use.
