      arch/tile: add hypervisor-based character driver for SPI flash ROM · dbcb4a1a
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The first version of this patch proposed an arch/tile/drivers/ directory,
      but the consensus was that this was probably a poor choice for a place to
      group Tilera-specific drivers, and that in any case grouping by platform
      was discouraged, and grouping by function was preferred.
      
      This version of the patch addresses various issues raised in the
      community, primarily the absence of sysfs integration.  The sysfs
      integration now handles passing information on sector size, page size,
      and total partition size to userspace as well.  In addition, we now
      use a single "struct cdev" to manage all the partition minor devices,
      and dynamically discover the correct number of partitions from the
      hypervisor rather than using a module_param with a default value.
      
      This driver has no particular "peer" drivers it can be grouped with.
      It is sort of like an MTD driver for SPI ROM, but it doesn't group well
      with the other MTD devices since it relies on hypervisor virtualization
      to handle many of the irritating aspects of flash ROM management: sector
      awareness, background read for sub-sector writes, bit examination to
      determine whether a sector erase needs to be issued, etc.  It is in fact
      more like an EEPROM driver, but the hypervisor virtualization does require
      a "flush" command if you wish to commit a sector write prior to writing
      to a different sector, and this is sufficiently different from generic
      I2C/SPI EEPROMs that as a result it doesn't group well with them either.
      
      The simple character device is already in use by a range of Tilera
      SPI ROM management tools, as well as by customers.  In addition, using
      the simple character device actually simplifies the userspace tools,
      since they don't need to manage sector erase, background read, etc.
      This both simplifies the code (since we can uniformly manage plain files
      and the SPI ROM) as well as makes the user code portable to non-Linux
      platforms that don't offer the same MTD ioctls.

      kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
      is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
      only small devices.
      
      This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
      references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
      can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
      considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
      
      Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
      expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
      are making should enable it.

      It can be used in a very easy way with persistent RAM for systems without
      flash support.  For these systems, with this driver, it is no longer
      required to cinlude mtd subsystem with an advantage in footprint.  In
      addition, you can save flash space and store this information only in RAM.

      - UI or UIH data frames
      - Adaption layer 1-4 (1 and 2 via tty, 3 and 4 as skbuff lists)
      - Modem and control messages including the correct retry process
      - Flow control
      
      and exposes the MUX channels as a set of virtual tty devices including modem
      signals. This is an experimental driver.

      The char device will be used as an interface by applications on the
      guest to communicate with apps on the host.
      
      The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the
      virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device.
      
      One dynamic major device number is allocated for each device and minor
      numbers are allocated for the ports contained within that device.
      
      The file operation for the char devs will be added in the following

      [S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console support · 44a01d5b
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides
      terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV).
      
      The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network
      and allows access even if there is no network connection between two
      z/VM guest virtual machines.
      The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a
      z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus,
      provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions.
      
      Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of
      HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end.
      
      A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a
      terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

      powerpc: udbg-based backend for hvc_console · d5e54913
      David Gibson 提交于
      This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level
      udbg callbacks.  This effectively implements a working runtime console
      in terms of the simple udbg primitives.  This is kind of a hack -
      since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but
      it's really useful during bringup.
      
      This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while
      you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the
      hardware has.  Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown
      tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will
      later be replaced by something else.
