xen/hvc: allow xenboot console to be used again

2013-10-03T23:12:58Z

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.

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

2013-08-27T06:59:56Z

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.

tile: various console improvements

2013-08-12T18:46:18Z

This change improves and cleans up the tile console. - We enable HVC_IRQ support on tilegx, with the addition of a new Tilera hypervisor API for tilegx to allow a console IPI. If IPI support is not available we fall back to the previous polling mode. - We simplify the earlyprintk code to use CON_BOOT and eliminate some of the other supporting earlyprintk code. - A new tile_console_write() primitive is used to send output to the console and is factored out of the hvc_tile driver. This lets us support a "sim_console" boot argument to allow using simulator hooks to send output to the "console" as a slightly faster alternative to emulating the hardware more directly.

tty/hvc_iucv: Disconnect IUCV connection when lowering DTR

2013-07-24T22:21:13Z

Implement the dtr_rts() hvc console callback to improve control when to disconnect the IUCV connection. Previously, the IUCV connection was disconnected during the notifier_del() callback, i.e., when the last file descriptor to the hvc terminal device was closed. Recent changes in login programs caused undesired disconnects during the login phase. To prevent these kind of disconnects, implement the dtr_rts callback to implicitly handle the HUPCL termios control via the hvc_console driver.
