The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.
This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.

I have found a bug in 8250.c driver which causes that 16550A uart FIFOs
are not turned on during initialization if they are manually configured
by setserial. UART is then working only as plain 16450 without FIFOs. On
systems with higher interrupt latency this causes buffer overruns and
loss of received data when using higher communication speeds.
I'm working for a company which produces industrial computers. These
devices typically contain high number (8 or more) of traditional 16550A
uarts - we use TL16C554A chips, but that is not much relevant. UARTs are
connected to the CPU by ISA bus (Celeron based devices) or LPC bus (Atom
based devices).
In the Linux the UARTs are using standard 8250.c driver and are
initialized using setserial command:
setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0x3E0 irq 10 baud_base 115200
This executes the UART initialization through serial8250_startup()
function. At the beginning of the function up->capabilities is
initialized from uart_config:
up->capabilities = uart_config[up->port.type].flags;
Please note that neither up->port.fifosize nor up->tx_loadsz is
initialized here!!
Later in the same function serial8250_clear_fifos() is called and
disables FIFOs. The above comment says that they will be reenabled in
set_termios (they won't ...)
After serial8250_startup() the serial8250_set_termios() is called. In
this function the following check fails because up->port.fifosize is
zero because it is not initialized correctly.
if (up->capabilities & UART_CAP_FIFO && up->port.fifosize > 1) {
if (baud < 2400)
fcr = UART_FCR_ENABLE_FIFO | UART_FCR_TRIGGER_1;
else
fcr = uart_config[up->port.type].fcr;
}
fcr variable remains zero and in the end the FCR register is set to zero
which results in disabled FIFOs even if the UART type is 16550A. This is
also true for other types of UARTs with FIFOs.
If the UART is autoconfigured via 'setserial /dev/ttySx autoconfig' then
port.fifosize and tx_loadsz are initialized correctly in the
autoconfig() function and the UART is working correctly then.
I checked the source codes and I can say that this bug is present in
2.6.x series of kernels for a couple of years. Namely I can confirm its
presence in 2.6.16.57, 2.6.32.24 and 2.6.36.1 (tested all of them on our
hardware).
I think it was not noticed before because not many people use manually
configured non PNP UARTs on ISA/LPC bus these days. Also the data loss
caused by buffer overruns occures only if IRQ latency is higher then
time needed to receive one character on given communication speed.
For example our hardware looses received characters only if the UARTs
are connected throught LPC bus with SERIRQ (serial IRQ transport) and
not if they are connected to ISA bus because LPC SERIRQ has higher
interrupt latency then parallel ISA interupt lines.
Here is the patch to correct the bug created against 2.6.36.1:

Some platforms contain a Synopsys DesignWare APB UART that is attached
to a 32-bit APB bus where sub-word accesses are not allowed. Add a new
IO type (UPIO_DWAPB32) that performs 32 bit acccesses to the UART.
v2:
- don't test for 32 bit in the output fast path, provide a
separate dwabp32_serial_out() function. Refactor
dwabp_serial_out() so that we can reuse the LCR saving
code.
v3:
- rebased on top of "8250: use container_of() instead of
casting"

The 8250 driver structure uart_8250_port took advantage of the fact
that the struct uart_port was the first member of its structure and
used an explicit cast to convert to the derived class. Replace the
explicit casts with container_of() for safety and clarity.

Access to some registers depends on register access mode
Three different modes are available for OMAP (at least)
• Operational mode LCR_REG[7] = 0x0
• Configuration mode A LCR_REG[7] = 0x1 and LCR_REG[7:0]! = 0xBF
• Configuration mode B LCR_REG[7] = 0x1 and LCR_REG[7:0] = 0xBF
Define access modes and remove redefinitions and magic numbers
in serial drivers (and later in bluetooth driver).

While trying to debug a cpu-hotplug issue I noticed printk() stopped
working once the cpu got marked offline, since the 8250 serial console
doesn't have any per-cpu resources the CON_ANYTIME bit is the safe and

Calling tcsetattr prevents any thread(s) currently suspended in ioctl
TIOCMIWAIT for the same device from ever resuming.
If a thread is suspended inside a call to ioctl TIOCMIWAIT, waiting for
a modem status change, then the 8250 driver enables modem status
interrupts (MSI). The device interrupt service routine resumes the
suspended thread(s) on the next MSI.
If while the thread(s) are suspended, another thread calls tcsetattr
then the 8250 driver disables MSI (unless CTS/RTS handshaking is
enabled) thus preventing the suspended thread(s) from ever being
resumed.
This patch only disables MSI in tcsetattr handling if there are no
suspended threads.

Running a serial console, if too many kernel messages are generated within
a short time causing a lot of serial I/O, the 8250 driver will generate
another kernel message reporting this, which just adds to the I/O. It has
a cascading effect and quickly results the system being brought to its knees
by a flood of "too much work" messages.
Ratelimit the error message to avoid this.

UART Features extract from STEricsson U6715 data-sheet (arm926 SoC for mobile phone):
* Fully compatible with industry standard 16C550 and 16C450 from various
manufacturers
* RX and TX 64 byte FIFO reduces CPU interrupts
* Full double buffering
* Modem control signals include CTS, RTS, (and DSR, DTR on UART1 only)
* Automatic baud rate selection
* Manual or automatic RTS/CTS smart hardware flow control
* Programmable serial characteristics:
– Baud rate generation (50 to 3.25M baud)
– 5, 6, 7 or 8-bit characters
– Even, odd or no-parity bit generation and detection
– 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bit generation
* Independent control of transmit, receive, line status, data set interrupts and FIFOs
* Full status-reporting capabilities
* Separate DMA signaling for RX and TX
* Timed interrupt to spread receive interrupt on known duration
* DMA time-out interrupt to allow detection of end of reception
* Carkit pulse coding and decoding compliant with USB carkit control interface [40]
In 16550A auto-configuration, if the fifo size is 64 then it's an U6 16550A port

The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can
provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if
there is no character available. This is required in order to get the
page scrolling mechanism working.
Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character
routines to exit immediately if there is no data allows the kernel
debugger to process multiple input channels.
NO_POLL_CHAR will be the return code to the polling routine when ever
there is no character available.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Limit the amount of address space claimed for Alchemy serial ports to
0x1000. On the Au1300, ports are only 0x1000 apart, and the registers
only extend to 0x110 at most on all supported alchemy models.
On the Au1300 the autodetect logic no longer works and this makes it
necessary to specify the port type through platform data. Because of
this the MSR quirk needs to be moved outside the autoconfig() function
which will no longer be called when UPF_FIXED_TYPE is specified.

When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to
manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's
transmitter, from userspace.
The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been
transmitted. serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were
transmitted before they actually were.
===
Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers
as follows:
I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little
different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common.
"Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together
with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device.
The NetMos device does it slightly different
I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem
is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one
does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information.
My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does
not affect the already correct devices.
Alan:
We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a
way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with
dodgy THRE.

Allow users to force skipping the TXEN test at init time. Applies
to all serial ports. Intended for debugging only.
There is a blacklist for devices where we need to skip the test but the
list is not complete. This lets users force skipping the test so we can
determine if they need to be added to the list.
Some HP machines with weird serial consoles have this problem and there
may be more.

A platform clock drives 8250 ports in most SOC systems, the clock
might run at high frequencies, and so it's not always possible to
downscale uart clock to a desired value.
Currently the 8250 uart driver accepts not supported baud rates, and
what is worse, it is doing this silently, and then passes not accepted
values to a new termios, so userspace has no chance to catch this kind
of errors (userspace verifies that settings were accepted by reading
back and comparing the settings).
This patch fixes the issue by passing minimum baud rate to the
uart_get_baud_rate() call, the call should take care of all bounds,
so userspace should now report:
# stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed 300
115200
stty: /dev/ttyS0: unable to perform all requested operations
p.s. uart_get_baud_rate() falls back to 9600, which still might be too
low for some 10 GHz platforms, but that's a separate issue, and
we can wait with fixing this till we find such a platform.

There is currently no provision for passing IRQ trigger flags for
serial IRQs with triggering requirements (such as GPIO IRQs)
This patch adds irqflags to plat_serial8250_port that can be passed
from board file to reqest_irq() of 8250 driver
Changes are backward compatible with boards passing UPF_SHARE_IRQ flag
Tested on Zoom2 board that has IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING requirement for 8250 irq
[Moved new flag to end to fix bugs in the original with the old_serial array

If you setserial a port which has never been initialised we change the type
but don't update the I/O method pointers. The same problem is true if you
change the io type of a port - but nobody ever does that so nobody noticed!
Remember the old type and when attaching if the type has changed reload the
port accessor pointers. We can't do it blindly as some 8250 drivers load custom
accessors and we must not stomp those.

Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan.
This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by
kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as
also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f.
Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is
capable of work using IRQ's.
This were done with a code similar this:
serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI);
lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR);
iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR);
serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0);
if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT)
up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN;
This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the
chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register.
Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps
working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the
IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the
serial console.
This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to
introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up,
UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be
safely determined.
At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but
still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still
doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time.
However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't
seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk.
So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just
disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

Commit b430428a188e8a434325e251d0704af4b88b4711 ("8250: Don't clobber
spinlocks.") introduced a regression on the parisc architecture, which
broke the handover to the serial port at boottime.
early_serial_setup() was changed to only copy a subset of the uart_port
fields, and sadly the "type" and "line" fields were forgotten and thus
the serial port was not initialized and could not be used for a
handover. This patch fixes this by copying the missing fields.
As this change to early_serial_setup() doesn't need an initialized
spinlock in the uart_port struct any longer, we can drop the spinlock
initialization in the superio driver.

Add flag value UPF_FIXED_TYPE which specifies that the UART type is
known and should not be probed. For this case the UARTs properties
are just copied out of the uart_config entry.
This allows us to keep SOC specific 8250 probe code out of 8250.c. In
this case we know the serial hardware will not be changing as it is on
the same silicon as the CPU, and we can specify it with certainty in
the board/cpu setup code.
The alternative is to load up 8250.c with a bunch of OCTEON specific
special cases in the probing code.

In order to use Cavium OCTEON specific serial i/o drivers, we first
patch the 8250 driver to use replaceable I/O functions. Compatible
I/O functions are added for existing iotypeS.
An added benefit of this change is that it makes it easy to factor
some of the existing special cases out to board/SOC specific support
code.
The alternative is to load up 8250.c with a bunch of OCTEON specific
iotype code and bug work-arounds.

In serial8250_isa_init_ports(), the port's lock is initialized. We
should not overwrite it. In early_serial_setup(), only copy in the
fields we need. Since the early console code only uses a subset of
the fields, these are sufficient.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.
The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]). The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.
