drivers/tty/hvc: don't free hvc_console_setup after init

2014-05-13T11:59:40+00:00

commit 501fed45b7e8836ee9373f4d31e2d85e3db6103a upstream.

When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest,
hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV
and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel,
because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This
patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'.

hvc: ensure hvc_init is only ever called once in hvc_console.c

2014-05-06T14:55:32+00:00

commit f76a1cbed18c86e2d192455f0daebb48458965f3 upstream.

Commit 3e6c6f630a5282df8f3393a59f10eb9c56536d23 ("Delay creation of
khcvd thread") moved the call of hvc_init from being a device_initcall
into hvc_alloc, and used a non-null hvc_driver as indication of whether
hvc_init had already been called.

The problem with this is that hvc_driver is only assigned a value
at the bottom of hvc_init, and so there is a window where multiple
hvc_alloc calls can be in progress at the same time and hence try
and call hvc_init multiple times.  Previously the use of device_init
guaranteed that hvc_init was only called once.

This manifests itself as sporadic instances of two hvc_init calls
racing each other, and with the loser of the race getting -EBUSY
from tty_register_driver() and hence that virtual console fails:

    Couldn't register hvc console driver
    virtio-ports vport0p1: error -16 allocating hvc for port

Here we add an atomic_t to guarantee we'll never run hvc_init twice.

xen/hvc: allow xenboot console to be used again

2013-10-13T23:08:33+00:00

commit a9fbf4d591da6cd1d3eaab826c7c15f77fc8f6a3 upstream.

Commit d0380e6c3c0f6edb986d8798a23acfaf33d5df23 (early_printk:
consolidate random copies of identical code) added in 3.10 introduced
a check for con->index == -1 in early_console_register().

Initialize index to -1 for the xenboot console so earlyprintk=xen
works again.

powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms.

2013-09-08T05:09:58+00:00

commit d220980b701d838560a70de691b53be007e99e78 upstream.

This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is
too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually
become workable but much later into the boot process.

Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger
for more reliability.

This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary
bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

TTY: add tty_port_tty_wakeup helper

2013-03-18T23:19:45+00:00

It allows for cleaning up on a considerable amount of places. They did
port_get, wakeup, kref_put. Now the only thing needed is to call
tty_port_tty_wakeup which does exactly that.

One exception is ifx6x60 where tty_wakeup was open-coded. We now call
tty_wakeup properly there.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.9-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

2013-02-25T00:18:31+00:00

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This has two new ACPI drivers for Xen - a physical CPU offline/online
  and a memory hotplug.  The way this works is that ACPI kicks the
  drivers and they make the appropiate hypercall to the hypervisor to
  tell it that there is a new CPU or memory.  There also some changes to
  the Xen ARM ABIs and couple of fixes.  One particularly nasty bug in
  the Xen PV spinlock code was fixed by Stefan Bader - and has been
  there since the 2.6.32!

  Features:
   - Xen ACPI memory and CPU hotplug drivers - allowing Xen hypervisor
     to be aware of new CPU and new DIMMs
   - Cleanups
  Bug-fixes:
   - Fixes a long-standing bug in the PV spinlock wherein we did not
     kick VCPUs that were in a tight loop.
   - Fixes in the error paths for the event channel machinery"

Fix up a few semantic conflicts with the ACPI interface changes in
drivers/xen/xen-acpi-{cpu,mem}hotplug.c.

xen: introduce xen_remap, use it instead of ioremap

2013-02-20T03:02:34+00:00

ioremap can't be used to map ring pages on ARM because it uses device
memory caching attributes (MT_DEVICE*).

Introduce a Xen specific abstraction to map ring pages, called
xen_remap, that is defined as ioremap on x86 (no behavioral changes).
On ARM it explicitly calls __arm_ioremap with the right caching
attributes: MT_MEMORY.

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY

2013-01-19T00:15:27+00:00

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.
