2007-12-12[SERIAL] sparc: Infrastructure to fix section mismatch bugs.Martin Habets
This patch against 2.6.23 sparc-2.6.git contains a number of minor cleanups of the sparc serial drivers. Initially I fixed this build warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x107a2c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:add_preferred_console (between 'sunserial_console_match' and 'sunserial_console_termios') which is done by declaring sunserial_console_match() as __init. This resulted in build warnings on sunserial_current_minor. To resolve these the variable was changed so it is no longer global, and to hide operations on it inside 2 new functions. These functions handle the UART minor handling code that is common to all sparc serial drivers. These changes allowed to clean up the uart counters in all the sparc serial drivers, and the administration of minor device numbers. Lastly, sunserial_console_termios() does not need to be exported since it is only called from non-modular code. Sadly, the following build warning still exists: WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x2910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sunserial_console_match (between '__ksymtab_sunserial_console_match' and '__ksymtab_sunserial_unregister_minors') This could be resolved by not exporting sunserial_console_match(), but this is not possible at the moment because it is being called from modular code. On the other hand, this is a bogus warning since it comes from a ksymtab section. Signed-off-by: Martin Habets <errandir_news@mph.eclipse.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-20[SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.David S. Miller
The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which is wrong. The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias or similar to a full path name to the console device. Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option specification is missing. This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device' property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console. The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too. Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

2007-07-16[SERIAL] SUNHV: Fix jerky console on LDOM guests.David S. Miller
Mixing putchar() and write() hvcalls does not work %100 correctly. But we should be using write() all the time if we can, even from ->start_tx(), anyways. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-05-15[SPARC64]: Add hypervisor API negotiation and fix console bugs.David S. Miller
Hypervisor interfaces need to be negotiated in order to use some API calls reliably. So add a small set of interfaces to request API versions and query current settings. This allows us to fix some bugs in the hypervisor console: 1) If we can negotiate API group CORE of at least major 1 minor 1 we can use con_read and con_write which can improve console performance quite a bit. 2) When we do a console write request, we should hold the spinlock around the whole request, not a byte at a time. What would happen is that it's easy for output from different cpus to get mixed with each other. 3) Use consistent udelay() based polling, udelay(1) each loop with a limit of 1000 polls to handle stuck hypervisor console.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: switch to ktermiosAlan Cox
This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that goes with the updates. At this point we have the same functionality as before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property setting functions from your upper layers. If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so please fix it 8) Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra paranoia [akpm@osdl.org: bluetooth fix] [mp3@de.ibm.com: sclp fix] [mp3@de.ibm.com: warning fix for tty3270] [hugh@veritas.com: fix tty_ioctl powerpc build] [jdike@addtoit.com: uml: fix ->set_termios declaration] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Peschke <mp3@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@de.ibm.com> Cc: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-03-20[SPARC] serial: Make sure sysfs nodes get named correctly.David S. Miller
Because we play this trick where we use ttyS? in increasing minor numbers for different sunfoo.c drivers, we have to inform the TTY layer of this. Do so by setting the tty->name_base appropriately. Probably there should be a generic way to do this in the serial core, but for now... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-03-20[SPARC64] sunhv: Bug fixes.David S. Miller
Add udelay to polling console write loop, and increment the loop limit. Name the device "ttyHV" and pass that to add_preferred_console() when we're using hypervisor console. Kill sunhv_console_setup(), it's empty. Handle the case where we don't want to use hypervisor console. (ie. we have a head attached to a sun4v machine) Signed-off-by: David S.
