Jiri Slaby 191c5f1027 TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers
After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.

To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

Jiri Slaby d228110745 TTY: con3215, add tty install
This has two outcomes:
* we give the TTY layer a tty_port
* we do not find the info structure every time open is called on that
  tty

Jiri Slaby 3ec0a17ef5 TTY: con3215, unset raw3215[line]
raw3215[line] is set in probe, but not unset in remove. This will lead
to random crashes if the device is removed and the corresponding tty
opened later. open would dereference freed memory.

So set raw3215[line] to NULL in remove to fix that.

Jiri Slaby fe2fc9ca5d TTY: con3215, centralize allocation
There are two copies of allocations of device information. One of them
is totally broken. See:
raw->cdev = cdev;
raw->inbuf = (char *) raw + sizeof(struct raw3215_info);
memset(raw, 0, sizeof(struct raw3215_info));

It suggests that this path was never executed. The code uses both
raw->cdev and raw->inbuf all over. And it is NULL due to the memset
here, so it would panic immediately. I believe nobody used that driver
without being a system console.

Either way, let us fix it by moving the allocations (and
initializations) to a single place. This will save us some double
initializations later too.

And while at it, initialize the timer properly -- once, at the
allocation.

Jiri Slaby 410235fd4d TTY: remove unneeded tty->index checks
Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the
index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it
can be only in interval <0,driver->num).

So remove the tests which check exactly this interval. Some are
left untouched as they check against the current backing device count.
(Leaving apart that the check is racy in most of the cases.)

Martin Schwidefsky 656d912537 [S390] 3215 deadlock with tty_wakeup
The 3215 driver calls tty_wakeup from irq context while holding the
device spinlock. If printk is called by any function on the callchain
starting from tty_wakeup the system deadlocks on the device spinlock.
Using a tasklet to call tty_wakup solves the problem.

Introduce the power management callbacks to the 3215 console. On suspend
the console buffer is flushed to the 3215 device to have an empty console
buffer. Printks done while the 3215 device is suspended are buffered in
the 64K buffer of the 3215 device. If the buffer is full new messages will
push out the oldest messages to make room for the most recent message.
On resume the buffered messages are printed. If the system panics before
the 3215 device is resumed ccw_device_force_console is used to get the
console working again.

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access

dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

Heiko Carstens 408aec3c6c [S390] 3215: Remove tasklet.
The 3215 console irq handler used to schedule a tasklet. However the
console irq handler also gets called from the infamous cio_tpi()
function. Which in turn does something like

local_bh_disable()
[call console irq handler]
_local_bh_enable()

_local_bh_enable() prevents execution of softirqs, which is intended
within cio_tpi(). However there might be a new softirq pending because
irq handler scheduled a tasklet.
In order to prevent this behaviour we just get rid of the tasklet.
It's not doing much anyway.

The s390 console drivers use the unblank callback of the console
structure to flush the console buffer. In case of a panic or a
reboot the CPU doing the callback can block on the console i/o.
The other CPUs in the system continue to work. For panic this is
not a good idea.

Replace the unblank callback with proper panic/reboot notifier.
These get called after all but one CPU have been stopped.

Jeff Dike b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.

53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

Peter Oberparleiter 600b5d163d [PATCH] s390: ccw_device_probe_console return value
The return code of ccw_device_probe_console() is not properly handled.  It
should only return a valid ccw device pointer or a error value converted by
ERR_PTR.  Fix the console driver code to check with IS_ERR instead against
NULL.

Alan Cox 33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
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.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
