xen/hvc: allow xenboot console to be used again

2013-10-13T23:08:33Z

commit a9fbf4d591da6cd1d3eaab826c7c15f77fc8f6a3 upstream. Commit d0380e6c3c0f6edb986d8798a23acfaf33d5df23 (early_printk: consolidate random copies of identical code) added in 3.10 introduced a check for con->index == -1 in early_console_register(). Initialize index to -1 for the xenboot console so earlyprintk=xen works again. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Cc: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms.

2013-09-08T05:09:58Z

commit d220980b701d838560a70de691b53be007e99e78 upstream. This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually become workable but much later into the boot process. Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger for more reliability. This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

TTY: add tty_port_tty_wakeup helper

2013-03-18T23:19:45Z

It allows for cleaning up on a considerable amount of places. They did port_get, wakeup, kref_put. Now the only thing needed is to call tty_port_tty_wakeup which does exactly that. One exception is ifx6x60 where tty_wakeup was open-coded. We now call tty_wakeup properly there. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/tty/hvc: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy

2013-03-05T05:56:27Z

when strlen pi->location_code is larger than HVCS_CLC_LENGTH + 1, original implementation can not let hvcsd->p_location_code NUL terminated. so need fix it (also can simplify the code) Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.9-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This has two new ACPI drivers for Xen - a physical CPU offline/online and a memory hotplug. The way this works is that ACPI kicks the drivers and they make the appropiate hypercall to the hypervisor to tell it that there is a new CPU or memory. There also some changes to the Xen ARM ABIs and couple of fixes. One particularly nasty bug in the Xen PV spinlock code was fixed by Stefan Bader - and has been there since the 2.6.32! Features: - Xen ACPI memory and CPU hotplug drivers - allowing Xen hypervisor to be aware of new CPU and new DIMMs - Cleanups Bug-fixes: - Fixes a long-standing bug in the PV spinlock wherein we did not kick VCPUs that were in a tight loop. - Fixes in the error paths for the event channel machinery" Fix up a few semantic conflicts with the ACPI interface changes in drivers/xen/xen-acpi-{cpu,mem}hotplug.c. * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.9-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: xen: event channel arrays are xen_ulong_t and not unsigned long xen: Send spinlock IPI to all waiters xen: introduce xen_remap, use it instead of ioremap xen: close evtchn port if binding to irq fails xen-evtchn: correct comment and error output xen/tmem: Add missing %s in the printk statement. xen/acpi: move xen_acpi_get_pxm under CONFIG_XEN_DOM0 xen/acpi: ACPI cpu hotplug xen/acpi: Move xen_acpi_get_pxm to Xen's acpi.h xen/stub: driver for CPU hotplug xen/acpi: ACPI memory hotplug xen/stub: driver for memory hotplug xen: implement updated XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range ABI xen/smp: Move the common CPU init code a bit to prep for PVH patch.

xen: introduce xen_remap, use it instead of ioremap

2013-02-20T03:02:34Z

ioremap can't be used to map ring pages on ARM because it uses device memory caching attributes (MT_DEVICE*). Introduce a Xen specific abstraction to map ring pages, called xen_remap, that is defined as ioremap on x86 (no behavioral changes). On ARM it explicitly calls __arm_ioremap with the right caching attributes: MT_MEMORY. Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY

2013-01-19T00:15:27Z

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long. add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350) function old new delta chr_dev_init 166 170 +4 allow_signal 80 82 +2 static.__warned 143 142 -1 disallow_signal 63 62 -1 __set_special_pids 95 94 -1 unregister_console 126 121 -5 start_kernel 546 541 -5 register_console 593 588 -5 copy_from_user 45 40 -5 sys_setsid 128 120 -8 sys_vhangup 32 19 -13 do_exit 1543 1526 -17 bitmap_zero 60 40 -20 arch_local_irq_save 137 117 -20 release_task 674 652 -22 static.spin_unlock_irqrestore 308 260 -48 Signed-off-by: Joe Millenbach Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: switch tty_flip_buffer_push

2013-01-16T06:30:15Z

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get in those paths. Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed: tty_flip_buffer_push. IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get at all yet. Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it anyway.
