2006-07-09[SERIAL] 8250: add tsi108 serial supportZang Roy-r61911
The following patch gets rid of CONFIG_TSI108_BRIDGE. I add UPIO_TSI to handle IIR and IER register in serial_in and serial_out. (1) the reason to rewrite serial_in: TSI108 rev Z1 version ERRATA. Reading the UART's Interrupt Identification Register (IIR) clears the Transmit Holding Register Empty (THRE) and Transmit buffer Empty (TEMP) interrupts even if they are not enabled in the Interrupt Enable Register (IER). This leads to loss of the interrupts. Interrupts are not cleared when reading UART registers as 32-bit word. (2) the reason to rewrite serial_out: Check for UART_IER_UUE bit in the autoconfig routine. This section of autoconfig is excluded for Tsi108/109 because bits 7 and 6 are reserved for internal use. They are R/W bits. In addition to incorrect identification, changing these bits (from 00) will make Tsi108/109 UART non-functional.

2006-04-30[SERIAL] Remove unconditional enable of TX irq for consoleRussell King
A bug report from Gerd Hoffmann has highlighted that unconditionally enabling the transmit interrupt at the end of console writes is very bad. In Gerd's case, it causes the test for buggy UARTs to give false positives, incorrectly identifying ports as buggy when they are not. Moreover, if we unconditionally enable the interrupt, and the port is sharing it's interrupt with other ports, there is the very real possibility that we'll cause an interrupt storm. (Not all ports use OUT2 as an interrupt mask.) Hence, revert part of f91a3715db2bb44fcf08cec642e68f919b70f7f4 and all of f5968b37b3ad35b682b574b578843a0361218aff until a better solution can be found.

2006-01-21[SERIAL] 8250 serial console fixesAlan Cox
This patch resolves most of the problems with an SMP serial console race with output via the tty path. At the end of the serial console print we force enable the tx int in case we clobbered the tx interrupt status racing between the console and tty output. That way the extra tx interrupt causes the transmit path to restart not hang. It also makes the serial console printk use the FIFO. This is neccessary because some remote management devices fake serial console with FIFO and are confused into sending one packet per character over ethernet when we stall rather than filling the FIFO. In order to preserve existing reliability semantics the function waits for the serial queue to completely empty before returning. Both of these problems were identified by a Red Hat partner.

2006-01-10[PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox
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.

2005-11-12[SERIAL] don't disable xscale serial ports after autoconfigLennert Buytenhek
xscale-type UARTs have an extra bit (UUE) in the IER register that has to be written as 1 to enable the UART. At the end of autoconfig() in drivers/serial/8250.c, the IER register is unconditionally written as zero, which turns off the UART, and makes any subsequent printch() hang the box. Since other 8250-type UARTs don't have this enable bit and are thus always 'enabled' in this sense, it can't hurt to enable xscale-type serial ports all the time as well. The attached patch changes the autoconfig() exit path to see if the port has an UUE enable bit, and if yes, to write UUE=1 instead of just putting a zero into IER, using the same test as is used at the beginning of serial8250_console_write().

2005-08-31[SERIAL] Clean up and fix tty transmission start/stopingRussell King
The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a feature.) There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would allow the transmitter to drain before stopping. There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters to send. Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and allow transmitter to drain" case.

Disable the transmitter whenever we want to prevent characters being transmitted by flow control. However, if we run out of characters to send and want to only disable the TX interrupt, allow that scenario. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-06-29[PATCH] Serial: Adjust serial lockingRussell King
This patch changes the way serial ports are locked when getting modem status. This change is necessary because we will need to atomically read the modem status and take action depending on the CTS status. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-06-27[PATCH] Serial: Split 8250 port tableRussell King
Add separate files for the different 8250 ISA-based serial boards. Looking across all the various architectures, it seems reasonable that we can key the availability of the configuration options for these beasts to the bus-related symbols (iow, CONFIG_ISA). We also standardise the base baud/uart clock rate for these boards - I'm sure that isn't architecture specific, but is solely dependent on the crystal fitted on the board (which should be the same no matter what type of machine its fitted into.)

2005-06-23[PATCH] Serial: Mobility's 16550A ports need a helping handRussell King
The Mobility 16550A serial ports don't behave the same as standard 16550A ports, and need a helping hand to get them going once the transmitter has drained and been disabled. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
