2021-10-21tty: add rpmsg driverArnaud Pouliquen1-0/+12
This driver exposes a standard TTY interface on top of the rpmsg framework through a rpmsg service. This driver supports multi-instances, offering a /dev/ttyRPMSGx entry per rpmsg endpoint.

While mxser PCI cards are still around and produced (Moxa provided me with two recently), ISA cards are obsolete for a long time. I haven't seen anyone using the cards and the ISA code paths are barely tested. Hence, remove ISA support from mxser driver so that we can clean the driver up.

While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by out-of-tree drivers. Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much more care, so drop it for now.

2021-01-08Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"Petr Mladek1-0/+14
This reverts commit 757055ae8dedf5333af17b3b5b4b70ba9bc9da4e. The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was blank even when a better alternative existed. It happened when there was no console configured on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall calling register_console(). Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs() was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later. The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6 ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround that was widely used and worked only by chance. This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before. The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions: + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as the ultimate fallback. + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must not become preferred console when used as a fallback. Especially, it must still be possible to replace it by a better console later. Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code. Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And any changes tend to break existing user settings. Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

2020-11-20init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no consolePetr Mladek1-14/+0
stdin, stdout, and stderr standard I/O stream are created for the init process. They are not available when there is no console registered for /dev/console. It might lead to a crash when the init process tries to use them, see the commit 48021f98130880dd742 ("printk: handle blank console arguments passed in."). Normally, ttySX and ttyX consoles are used as a fallback when no consoles are defined via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. But there will be no console registered when an invalid console name is configured or when the configured consoles do not exist on the system. Users even try to avoid the console intentionally, for example, by using console="" or console=null. It is used on production systems where the serial port or terminal are not visible to users. Pushing messages to these consoles would just unnecessary slowdown the system. Make sure that stdin, stdout, stderr, and /dev/console are always available by a fallback to the existing ttynull driver. It has been implemented for exactly this purpose but it was used only when explicitly configured.

2019-04-16tty: Add NULL TTY driverVincent Whitchurch1-0/+14
If no console driver is enabled (or if a non-present driver is selected with something like console=null in an attempt to disable the console), opening /dev/console errors out, and init scripts and other userspace code that relies on the existence of a console will fail. Symlinking /dev/null to /dev/console does not solve the problem since /dev/null does not behave like a real TTY. To just provide a dummy console to userspace when no console driver is available or desired, add a ttynull driver which simply discards all writes. It can be chosen on the command line in the standard way, i.e. with console=ttynull.

The S390 architecture does not support any graphics hardware, but with the latest support for Virtio GPU in Linux and Virtio GPU emulation in QEMU, it's possible to enable graphics for S390 using the Virtio GPU device. To enable display we need to enable the Linux Virtual Terminal (VT) layer for S390. But the VT subsystem initializes quite early at boot so we need a dummy console driver till the Virtio GPU driver is initialized and we can run the framebuffer console. The framebuffer console over a Virtio GPU device can be run in combination with the serial SCLP console (default on S390). The SCLP console can still be accessed by management applications (eg: via Libvirt's virsh console).

The alternative would be to move uart_parse_earlycon() from serial_core.c to earlycon.c (we don't have that many users of that function).

Add early console functionality to the Goldfish tty driver. When 'earlycon' kernel command line parameter is used with no options, the early console is determined by the 'stdout-path' property in device tree's 'chosen' node. This is illustrated in the following device tree source example: Device tree example: chosen { stdout-path = "/goldfish_tty@1f004000"; }; goldfish_tty@1f004000 { interrupts = <0xc>; reg = <0x1f004000 0x0 0x1000>; compatible = "google,goldfish-tty"; }; Signed-off-by: Miodrag Dinic <miodrag.dinic@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Goran Ferenc <goran.ferenc@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Aleksandar Markovic <aleksandar.markovic@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2016-06-05devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.Eric W. Biederman1-11/+0
The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower copy does not end up getting used.

2015-03-31ttyFDC: Implement KGDB IO operations.James Hogan1-0/+16
Implement KGDB IO operations for MIPS Fast Debug Channel (FDC). This can be enabled via Kconfig, which also allows the channel number to be chosen. The magic sysrq hack is implemented in the TTY driver, detecting just ^C for the KGDB channel, and ^O followed by a letter for the FDC console channel. The KGDB operations are reasonably efficient thanks to the flush callback, with a 4 byte buffer being used in both directions to allow up to 4 bytes to be encoded per FDC word. Reading of data for KGDB will discard any data received on other channels, which clearly isn't ideal, but given that there is a single FIFO shared between channels we can't do much better.

2015-03-31TTY: Add MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel TTY driverJames Hogan1-0/+18
Add TTY driver and consoles for the MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC), which is found on the per-CPU MIPS Common Device Mapped Memory (CDMM) bus. The FDC is a per-CPU device which is used to communicate with an EJTAG probe. RX and TX FIFOs exist, containing 32-bits of data and 4-bit channel numbers. 16 general data streams are implemented on this for TTY and console use by encoding up to 4 bytes on each 32-bit FDC word. The TTY devices are named e.g. /dev/ttyFDC3c2 for channel 2 of the FDC attached to logical CPU 3. These can be used for getting the kernel log, a login prompt, or as a GDB remote transport, all over EJTAG and without needing a serial port. It can have an interrupt to notify of when incoming data is available in the RX FIFO or when the TX FIFO is no longer full. The detection of this interrupt occurs in architecture / platform code, but it may be shared with the timer and/or performance counter interrupt. Due to the per-CPU nature of the hardware, all outgoing TTY data is written out from a kthread which is pinned to the appropriate CPU. The console is not bound to a specific CPU, so output will appear on the chosen channel on whichever CPU the code is executing on. Enable with e.g. console=fdc1 in kernel arguments. /dev/console is bound to the same channel on the boot CPU's FDC if it exists.

2013-01-21goldfish: tty driverArve Hjønnevåg1-0/+6
This provides a console driver for the Goldfish virtual platform. The original is from Arve with changes from Jun Nakajima and Tom Keel. This has been then been ported to the current kernel and to the tty port mechanism by Alan Cox. In the process it gained proper POSIX semantics and vhangup works. The default name is not ttyS as this belongs to the 8250 driver. Instead ttyGFx is now used. In the normal usage case the first port serves as a kernel logging console and the second one carries various other data streams for the emulation.

2013-01-18tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTYJoe Millenbach1-0/+13
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.
