Thomas Koeller had reported an issue where a device that had been making use
of the UART_BUG_TXEN code in the 8250 driver was mistakenly being caught by
the backup timer test, causing the device to work improperly.
To fix this, tighten the test requirements to enable the backup timer
workaround.
The backup timer is really meant to catch UARTs that don't re-assert the THRE
interrupt. The expectation is that they do initially assert THRE. This patch
clarifies the test.

Reading the LSR clears the break, parity, frame error, and overrun bits in
the 8250 chip, but these are not being saved in all places that read the
LSR. Same goes for the MSR delta bits. Save the LSR bits off whenever the
lsr is read so they can be handled later in the receive routine. Save the
MSR bits to be handled in the modem status routine.
Also, clear the stored bits and clear the interrupt registers before
enabling interrupts, to avoid handling old values of the stored bits in the
interrupt routines.

At present, various parts of the serial code use unsigned long to define
resource addresses. This is a problem, because some 32-bit platforms have
physical addresses larger than 32-bits, and have mmio serial uarts located
above the 4GB point.
This patch changes the type of mapbase in both struct uart_port and struct
plat_serial8250_port to resource_size_t, which can be configured to be 64
bits on such platforms. The mapbase in serial_struct can't safely be
changed, because that structure is user visible.

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:

After a suspend/resume cycle, the UART may have been reset into
low-speed mode -- either because it's actually been reset, or because
the firmware pokes at the old-style divisor registers. If we detected it
as a NS16550A SuperIO chip in the first place and set baud_base to
921600, then we should do so again in the resume path.
This patch adds that code to serial8250_resume_port(), and also makes
serial8250_resume() actually call serial8250_resume_port() for each port
instead of just calling uart_resume_port() directly. And thus fixes
serial port operation after suspend/resume.
It also fixes a bogus comment where we write the EXCR2 register with a
comment saying /* EXCR1 */

Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices.
There are three different fixes:
1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard
16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by
disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled
if a character is actually sent out.
It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree
also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now
needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch.
2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature
which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy
when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and
rewrites it after clearing the interrupt.
3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to
ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART
before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register
on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously
queued write transaction has also completed.

The patch below works around a minor bug found in the UART of the remote
management card used in many HP ia64 and parisc servers (aka the Diva
UARTs). The problem is that the UART does not reassert the THRE interrupt
if it has been previously cleared and the IIR THRI bit is re-enabled. This
can produce a very annoying failure mode when used as a serial console,
allowing a boot/reboot to hang indefinitely until an RX interrupt kicks it
into working again (ie. an unattended reboot could stall).
To solve this problem, a backup timer is introduced that runs alongside the
standard interrupt driven mechanism. This timer wakes up periodically,
checks for a hang condition and gets characters moving again. This backup
mechanism is only enabled if the UART is detected as having this problem,
so systems without these UARTs will have no additional overhead.
This version of the patch incorporates previous comments from Pavel and
removes races in the bug detection code. The test is now done before the
irq linking to prevent races with interrupt handler clearing the THRE
interrupt. Short delays and syncs are also added to ensure the device is
able to update register state before the result is tested.
Aristeu says:
this was tested on the following HP machines and solved the problem:
rx2600, rx2620, rx1600 and rx1620s.

I have seen this same bug in soft UART IP from "a major vendor."

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.

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.

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 f91a3715db and
all of f5968b37b3 until a better solution
can be found.

Glen Turner reported that writing LFCR rather than the more
traditional CRLF causes issues with some terminals.
Since this aflicts many serial drivers, extract the common code
to a library function (uart_console_write) and arrange for each
driver to supply a "putchar" function.

On some embedded PowerPC (MPC834x) systems an extra byte would some
times be required to flush data out of the fifo.
serial8250_console_write() was updating the IER in hardware without
also updating the copy in uart_8250_port. This causes issues functions
like serial8250_start_tx() and __stop_tx() to misbehave.

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.

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.
