2013-05-08powerpc: Add an in memory udbg consoleAlistair Popple
This patch adds a new udbg early debug console which utilises statically defined input and output buffers stored within the kernel BSS. It is primarily designed to assist with bring up of new hardware which may not have a working console but which has a method of reading/writing kernel memory. This version incorporates comments made by Ben H (thanks!). Changes from v1: - Add memory barriers. - Ensure updating of read/write positions is atomic.

2011-09-20powerpc/powernv: Support for OPAL consoleBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds a udbg and an hvc console backend for supporting a console using the OPAL console interfaces. On OPAL v1 we have hvc0 mapped to whatever console the system was configured for (network or hvsi serial port) via the service processor. On OPAL v2 we have hvcN mapped to the Nth console provided by OPAL which generally corresponds to: hvc0 : network console (raw protocol) hvc1 : serial port S1 (hvsi) hvc2 : serial port S2 (hvsi) Note: At this point, early debug console only works with OPAL v1 and shouldn't be enabled in a normal kernel.

2011-08-23tty/powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor byte channel driverTimur Tabi
The ePAPR embedded hypervisor specification provides an API for "byte channels", which are serial-like virtual devices for sending and receiving streams of bytes. This driver provides Linux kernel support for byte channels via three distinct interfaces: 1) An early-console (udbg) driver. This provides early console output through a byte channel. The byte channel handle must be specified in a Kconfig option. 2) A normal console driver. Output is sent to the byte channel designated for stdout in the device tree. The console driver is for handling kernel printk calls. 3) A tty driver, which is used to handle user-space input and output. The byte channel used for the console is designated as the default tty.

2011-06-29powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of hvc_vioBenjamin Herrenschmidt
On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is really just a transport to the service processor which implements them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as "hvsi" serial ports. The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it. We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend (/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver (/dev/hvsi0). However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro) confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP. This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used in "raw" mode so that: - It now supports HVSI as well - We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set} - It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface. In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits over our current situation: - The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past - The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only supported for the "raw" mode). I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though: - I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set - Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon detecting a up->down transition on CD. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-03-11powerpc/udbg: Fix lost byte during console handover; change LFCR to CRLFAndrew Klossner
When the console is on a serial port to be driven by serial8250, a character can be lost from the end of the first line in the two-line sequence serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xe0004500 (irq = 42) is a 16550A console handover: boot [udbg0] -> real [ttyS0] This happens because udbg_puts or udbg_write stuff the last byte of the line into the Tx FIFO and return, whereupon the serial8250 initialization code immediately empties that FIFO. The fix: udbg_puts and udbg_write now wait for the Tx FIFO to clear before returning. This delays the system by one additional serial frame time for each line written by udbg, but the effect is not noticeable, a cumulative 17 milliseconds for 200 lines of early printk output at 115200 baud. Also, the routines in udbg_16550.c now emit CRLF instead of LFCR. Linux makes a point of emitting CRLF because, when serial output is captured to a file, LFCR sequences can confuse text editors.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Set udbg_console index to 0Michael Ellerman
Because the udbg_console has CON_ENABLED set, it's possible that when we register it with the console code the index won't be set. This leads to slightly confusing boot messages like: [ 0.000000] console [udbg-1] enabled We could remove CON_ENABLED, but we don't want to do that, we always want the udbg console to be activated, even if the user specified some other console on the command line. The simplest fix seems to be just to set the index to 0 by hand. There is no issue with duplicate udbg consoles, as we guard against registering multiple times in register_early_udbg_console().

This makes the early debug option force the console loglevel to the max. The early debug option is meant to catch messages very early in the kernel boot process, in many cases, before the kernel has a chance to parse the "debug" command line argument.

2007-05-08Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot consoleGerd Hoffmann
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf). Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

The powermac udbg stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well, approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations. The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify them in a later patch. For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using "btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a later patch.

This new version can also detect some PCI serial cards using legacy chips and will probably match those discovered port with the default console choice. Only ppc64 gets udbg still yet, unifying udbg isn't finished yet. It also adds some speed-probing code to udbg so that the default console can come up at the same speed it was set to by the firmware.
