The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out. This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the kernel cycles between them as before. When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means that we can operate at higher speeds reliably. For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud). Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow. The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is read. We thus make it a variable not a function call. I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes. Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any more. Description: tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It does now also return the number of chars inserted There are also tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len) which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to transfer. and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len) to insert a string of characters and flags For a smart interface the usual code is len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says); tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len); More description! At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments) I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O" devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of data suddenely materialise and need storing. So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API but others need more. At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will be needed now is a good time to say int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size) Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change. Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a more efficient way when you know block sizes. int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag) As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0 for failure. int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len) Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted. int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len) Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

The stack command now sends the printk output back to the mconsole client. This is done by registering a special console for the mconsole driver. This receives all printk output. Normally, it is ignored, but when a stack command is issued, any printk output will be sent back to the client. This will capture any printk output, whether it is stack output or not, since we can't tell the difference.

This patch cleans up the umid code: - The only_if_set argument to get_umid is gone. - get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid. - umid_is_random is gone since its users went away. - Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough that printk is working. - Error paths were cleaned up. - Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error message rather than printing it themselves. This eliminates the practice of passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot process we are. - Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect. - Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to their native libc forms. - snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often, replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.

This patch simplifies the opening and closing of host console devices and the registration and deregistration of IRQs. The intent is to make it obvious that an IRQ can't exist without an open file descriptor. chan_enable will now open the channel, and when both opening and IRQ registration are desired, this should be used. Opening only is done for the initial console, so that interface still needs to exist. The free_irqs_later interface is now gone. It was intended to avoid freeing an IRQ while it was being processed. It did this, but it didn't eliminate the possiblity of free_irq being called from an interrupt, which is bad. In its place is a list of irqs to be freed, which is processed by the signal handler just before exiting. close_one_chan now disables irqs. When a host device disappears, it is just closed, and that disables IRQs. The device id registered with the IRQ is now the chan structure, not the tty. This is because the interrupt arrives on a descriptor associated with the channel. This caused equivalent changes in the arguments to line_timer_cb. line_disable is gone since it is not used any more. The count field in the line structure is gone. tty->count is used instead. The complicated logic in sigio_handler with freeing IRQs when necessary and making sure its idea of the next irq is correct is now much simpler. The irq list can't be rearranged underneath it, so it is now a simple list walk.

This patch changes when console devices are configured in order to prepare the ground for the next patch. parse_chan_pair is now done earlier, when initcalls are run, rather than when the device is opened. When a host device disappears, the channel list is closed, but not freed. This is required by the previous change. line_config now takes the options structure as an argument, and line_open doesn't.

printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than errno - the assignment can't clear errno. And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered and gives a "registering fd twice" warning. Finally, fix up some whitespace.

Commit 44456d37, between 2.6.13-rc3 and -rc4, was a "nice cleanup" which broke something. Revert the offending part. It broke because: a) because this part doesn't fall under the description b) the author didn't know what he was doing here c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked perfectly. d) the author didn't ask us what was happening e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit different. In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes. In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world; and on-disk compatibility was broken. Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an endianness problem. Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files. Next patch addresses that.

User get *a lot* confused when consoles don't work but we don't report anything. And, as reported in the comment, using printk to report "your console doesn't work" isn't likely to go that far.

Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context. I want to try to fix it, but probably this is simpler. To tell the truth, sysrq is normally run in interrupt context, so there shouldn't be any problem.
