3be91ec738 [SERIAL] 8250: add tsi108 serial support
The following patch gets rid of CONFIG_TSI108_BRIDGE.  I add UPIO_TSI to
handle IIR and IER register in serial_in and serial_out.

(1) the reason to rewrite serial_in:

    TSI108 rev Z1 version ERRATA.  Reading the UART's Interrupt
    Identification Register (IIR) clears the Transmit Holding Register
    Empty (THRE) and Transmit buffer Empty (TEMP) interrupts even if they
    are not enabled in the Interrupt Enable Register (IER).  This leads to
    loss of the interrupts.  Interrupts are not cleared when reading UART
    registers as 32-bit word.

(2) the reason to rewrite serial_out:

    Check for UART_IER_UUE bit in the autoconfig routine.  This section
    of autoconfig is excluded for Tsi108/109 because bits 7 and 6 are
    reserved for internal use.  They are R/W bits.  In addition to
    incorrect identification, changing these bits (from 00) will make
    Tsi108/109 UART non-functional.

a88d75b257 [SERIAL] Remove unconditional enable of TX irq for console
A bug report from Gerd Hoffmann has highlighted that unconditionally
enabling the transmit interrupt at the end of console writes is very
bad.

In Gerd's case, it causes the test for buggy UARTs to give false
positives, incorrectly identifying ports as buggy when they are not.

Moreover, if we unconditionally enable the interrupt, and the port
is sharing it's interrupt with other ports, there is the very real
possibility that we'll cause an interrupt storm.  (Not all ports use
OUT2 as an interrupt mask.)

Hence, revert part of f91a3715db and
all of f5968b37b3 until a better solution
can be found.

f91a3715db [SERIAL] 8250 serial console fixes
This patch resolves most of the problems with an SMP serial console race
with output via the tty path. At the end of the serial console print we
force enable the tx int in case we clobbered the tx interrupt status
racing between the console and tty output. That way the extra tx
interrupt causes the transmit path to restart not hang.

It also makes the serial console printk use the FIFO. This is neccessary
because some remote management devices fake serial console with FIFO and
are confused into sending one packet per character over ethernet when we
stall rather than filling the FIFO.

In order to preserve existing reliability semantics the function waits
for the serial queue to completely empty before returning.

Both of these problems were identified by a Red Hat partner.

33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.

This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.

When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.

For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).

Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.

The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.

I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.

Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real.  That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.

Description:

tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification].  It
does now also return the number of chars inserted

There are also

tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)

which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found.  This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.

and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)

to insert a string of characters and flags

For a smart interface the usual code is

    len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
    tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);

More description!

At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty.  This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)

I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers.  This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.

So far so good.  Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*.  Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides.  This will all
break.  Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.

At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say

 int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)

Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero).  At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative.  (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space.  The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.

 int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)

As before insert a character if there is room.  Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.

 int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)

Insert a block of non error characters.  Returns the number inserted.

 int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)

Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added.  Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available.  This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

5c8c755ce5 [SERIAL] don't disable xscale serial ports after autoconfig
xscale-type UARTs have an extra bit (UUE) in the IER register that has
to be written as 1 to enable the UART.  At the end of autoconfig() in
drivers/serial/8250.c, the IER register is unconditionally written as
zero, which turns off the UART, and makes any subsequent printch() hang
the box.

Since other 8250-type UARTs don't have this enable bit and are thus
always 'enabled' in this sense, it can't hurt to enable xscale-type
serial ports all the time as well.  The attached patch changes the
autoconfig() exit path to see if the port has an UUE enable bit, and if
yes, to write UUE=1 instead of just putting a zero into IER, using the
same test as is used at the beginning of serial8250_console_write().

b129a8ccd5 [SERIAL] Clean up and fix tty transmission start/stoping
The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate
whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and
some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to
immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a
feature.)

There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is
lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS
is inactive.  In these cases, this flag was false, and we would
allow the transmitter to drain before stopping.

There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter
drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters
to send.

Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this
flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and
allow transmitter to drain" case.

transmitter has drained and been disabled.

4ba5e35daa [PATCH] Serial: Convert 8250 revision-based bug fixes to bug bitmask
For some 8250 port types, we used to check the type of the port, and
then determine whether the chip revision means the device is buggy.
Instead, introduce a bit array, and set the appropriate bit(s) when
we discover a buggy device.

857dde2e79 When we detect that a 16550 was in fact part of a NatSemi SuperIO chip
with high-speed mode enabled, we switch it to high-speed mode so that
baud_base becomes 921600. However, we also need to multiply the baud
divisor by 8 at the same time, in case it's already in use as a console.

05ab301463 [PATCH] Serial: Add uart_insert_char()
Add uart_insert_char(), which handles inserting characters into the
flip buffer.  This helper function handles the correct semantics
for handling overrun in addition to inserting normal characters.

Another large rollup of various patches from Adrian which make things static
where they were needlessly exported.

23907eb8c2 [PATCH] serial: fix comments in 8250.c
Fix the formatting of some comments in 8250.c, and add a note that the
register_serial / unregister_serial shouldn't be used in new code.

We do this here in preference to adding to linux/serial.h, since that is used
by a number of non-8250 drivers which pretend to be 8250.  It is not known
whether it would be appropriate to do so.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
