Commit 32f13521ca68bc624ff6effc77f308a52b038bf0
("n_tty: Line copy to user buffer in canonical mode")
changed cannonical mode copying to use copy_to_user
but missed adding the call to the audit framework.
Add in the appropriate functions to get audit support.

The currently in-use port-&gt;startup and port-&gt;shutdown are "okay". The
startup part for instance does the tiny omap extra part and invokes
serial8250_do_startup() for the remaining pieces. The workflow in
serial8250_do_startup() is okay except for the part where UART_RX is
read without a check if there is something to read. I tried to
workaround it in commit 0aa525d11859 ("tty: serial: 8250_core: read only
RX if there is something in the FIFO") but then reverted it later in
commit ca8bb4aefb9 ("serial: 8250: Revert "tty: serial: 8250_core: read
only RX if there is something in the FIFO"").

This is the second attempt to get it to work on older OMAPs without
breaking other chips this time
Peter Hurley suggested to pull in the few needed lines from
serial8250_do_startup() and drop everything else that is not required
including making it simpler like using just request_irq() instead the
chain handler like it is doing now.
So lets try that.

The MIPS Common Device Memory Map (CDMM) is internal to the core and has
native endianness. There is therefore no need to byte swap the accesses
on big endian targets, so convert the Fast Debug Channel (FDC) TTY
driver to use __raw_readl()/__raw_writel() rather than
ioread32()/iowrite32().

There was a hardcoded value of 4096 which should have been N_TTY_BUF_SIZE.
This caused reads from tty to fail with EFAULT when they shouldn't have
done if N_TTY_BUF_SIZE was declared to be something other than 4096.

<title>serial: imx: Fix DMA handling for IDLE condition aborts</title>

<content type='text'>
The driver configures the IDLE condition to interrupt the SDMA engine.
Since the SDMA UART ROM script doesn't clear the IDLE bit itself, this
caused repeated 1-byte DMA transfers, regardless of available data in the
RX FIFO. Also, when returning due to the IDLE condition, the UART ROM
script already increased its counter, causing residue to be off by one.

This patch clears the IDLE condition to avoid repeated 1-byte DMA transfers
and decreases count by when the DMA transfer was aborted due to the IDLE
condition, fixing serial transfers using DMA on i.MX6Q.

<title>serial/amba-pl011: Unconditionally poll for FIFO space before each TX char</title>

Commit 734745caeb9f155ab58918834a8c70e83fa6afd3 serial/amba-pl011:
(Activate TX IRQ passively) introduces a race which causes the driver
sometimes to attempt to write a character to the TX FIFO when the FIFO
is already full.

The PL011 does not guarantee its behaviour when the FIFO is overfilled.
In practice, this can cause duplicate and/or dropped characters to be
output on the wire.  The problem is common enough to be readily
observable on the ARM Juno platform when the PL011 UART is used as
the console and DMA is not in use.

This patch fixes this problem by always polling for space before each
character is written to the FIFO.

This will be amended to a less brute-force approach in a later commit,
but this patch should help ensure correct behaviour for now.

A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to.  This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc-&gt;lock.  The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.

Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).
