[PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios

2006-12-08T16:28:57+00:00

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

[PATCH] serial uartlite driver

2006-12-07T16:39:30+00:00

Add a driver for the Xilinx uartlite serial controller used in boards with
the PPC405 core in the Xilinx V2P/V4 fpgas.

The hardware is very simple (baudrate/start/stopbits fixed and no break
support).  See the datasheet for details:

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/1237/ for the email thread.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

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.

[PATCH] serial: Rename PORT_AT91 -> PORT_ATMEL

2006-10-04T17:25:05+00:00

The at91_serial driver can be used with both AT32 and AT91 devices
from Atmel and has therefore been renamed atmel_serial. The only
thing left is to rename PORT_AT91 PORT_ATMEL.

[SERIAL] Fix oops when removing suspended serial port

2006-10-01T16:17:40+00:00

A serial card might have been removed when the system is resumed.
This results in a suspended port being shut down, which results in
the ports shutdown method being called twice in a row.  This causes
BUGs.  Avoid this by tracking the suspended state separately from
the initialised state.

[SERIAL] 8250: add tsi108 serial support

2006-07-09T20:11:09+00:00

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.

[SERIAL] Convert fifosize to an unsigned int

2006-07-02T19:45:51+00:00

Some UARTs have more than 255 bytes of FIFO, which can't be
represented by an unsigned char.  Change the kernel's internal
structure to be an unsigned int, but still export an unsigned char
via the TIOCGSERIAL ioctl.  If the TIOCSSERIAL ioctl provides a
fifo size of 0, assume this means "don't change" otherwise we'll
corrupt the larger fifo sizes.
