tty.h: make tty_port_get() static inline

2010-01-16T20:15:38+00:00

I get a few dozen of these warnings when using
  gcc (GCC) 4.4.1 20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2):

In file included from mmotm-2010-0113-1217/init/do_mounts.c:5:
mmotm-2010-0113-1217/include/linux/tty.h: In function 'tty_port_get':
mmotm-2010-0113-1217/include/linux/tty.h:469: warning: '______f' is static but declared in inline function 'tty_port_get' which is not static

so make the function static inline.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: may as well convert tty_port_users() also]

vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() function

2009-12-15T16:53:28+00:00

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.

However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.

This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).

This patch:

Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.

Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.

The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

tty: tty_port: Add a kref object to the tty port

Users of tty port need a way to refcount ports when hotplugging is

tty: tty_port: Change the buffer allocator locking

2009-12-11T23:18:06+00:00

We want to be able to do this without regard for the activate/own open
method being used which causes a problem using port->mutex. Add another
mutex for now. Once everything uses port_open to do buffer allocs we can
kill it back off

tty_port: add "tty_port_open" helper

2009-12-11T23:18:04+00:00

For the moment this just moves the USB logic over and fixes the 'what if
we open and hangup at the same time' race noticed by Oliver Neukum.

tty: handle VT specific compat ioctls in vt driver

2009-09-19T20:13:35+00:00

The VT specific compat_ioctl handlers are the only ones
in common code that require the BKL. Moving them into
the vt driver lets us remove the BKL from the other handlers
and cleans up the code.
