tty: bfin_jtag_comm: emulate a TTY over the Blackfin EMUDAT/JTAG interface

2009-06-11T15:51:06Z

The Blackfin JTAG interface has a 4 byte generic data field (EMUDAT). With a little creative thinking, we can turn this into a TTY device. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console support

2008-12-25T12:39:03Z

This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV). The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network and allows access even if there is no network connection between two z/VM guest virtual machines. The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus, provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions. Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end. A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

powerpc: udbg-based backend for hvc_console

2008-11-19T05:04:25Z

This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working runtime console in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind of a hack - since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but it's really useful during bringup. This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will later be replaced by something else.

CHAR: Delete old and now unused M48T35 RTC driver for SGI IP27.

2008-10-30T14:44:35Z

It was only used by this one SGI platform which recently was converted to RTC_LIB and with RTC_LIB enabled the legacy drivers are no more selectable. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

CHAR: Delete old and now unused DS1286 driver.

tty: split the buffering from tty_io

2008-10-13T16:51:40Z

The two are basically independent chunks of code so lets split them up for readability and sanity. It also makes the API boundaries much clearer. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

powerpc/iseries: remove the old viocons driver

2008-08-08T01:07:10Z

This driver was declared obsolete over 2 years ago, the alternative console driver for legacy iSeries (hvc_iseries) was made the default over 1 year ago and this driver has been build broken for over 3 months, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
