The UART driver is expected to clear port->x_char after
transmission while holding the port->lock. However, the serial
core fails to take the port->lock before assigning port->xchar.
This allows for the following race
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
| serial8250_handle_irq
| ...
| serial8250_tx_chars
| if (port->x_char)
| serial_out(up, UART_TX, port->x_char)
uart_send_xchar |
port->x_char = ch |
| port->x_char = 0
port->ops->start_tx() |
|
The x_char on CPU 0 will never be sent.
Take the port->lock in uart_send_xchar() before assigning port->x_char.
