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. If someone steps up to reintroduce it,
they need to clean it up first.

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.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Finally allow parallel writes and reads into/from the lockless
ringbuffer. But it is not a complete solution. Readers are still
serialized against each other. And nested writes are still prevented
by printk_safe per-CPU buffers.
- Use ttynull as the ultimate fallback for /dev/console.
- Officially allow disabling console output by using console="" or
console=null
- A few code cleanups

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.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

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.

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.
Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:
...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
config FOO
bool
config FOO
bool
default n
With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.

By default, the kernel will automatically load the module of any line
dicipline that is asked for. As this sometimes isn't the safest thing
to do, provide a sysctl to disable this feature.
By default, we set this to 'y' as that is the historical way that Linux
has worked, and we do not want to break working systems. But in the
future, perhaps this can default to 'n' to prevent this functionality.

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).

earlycon.c::parse_options() invokes uart_parse_earlycon() from serial_core.c
which is compiled=m because GOLDFISH_TTY itself (and most others) are =m.
To avoid that, I'm adding the _CONSOLE config option which is selected if the
GOLDFISH module itself is =y since it doesn't need the early bits for the =m
case (other drivers do the same dance).
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";
};

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
