3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jonas Gorski <jonas.gorski@gmail.com>
commit 0a5191efe06b5103909206e4fbcff81d30283f8e upstream.
Since commit aef9a7bd9b67 ("serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers"), the port's default FCR value isn't used in serial8250_do_set_termios anymore, but copied over once in serial8250_config_port and then modified as needed.
Unfortunately, serial8250_config_port will never be called if the port is shared between kernel and userspace, and the port's flag doesn't have UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF, which would trigger a serial8250_config_port as well.
This causes garbled output from userspace:
[ 5.220000] random: procd urandom read with 49 bits of entropy available ers [kee
Fix this by forcing it to be configured on boot, resulting in the expected output:
[ 5.250000] random: procd urandom read with 50 bits of entropy available Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode Press the [1], [2], [3] or [4] key and hit [enter] to select the debug level
