tty: move drivers/serial/ to drivers/tty/serial/

2011-01-13T20:10:18+00:00

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.

makes the code look fairly sane (unlike either side).

Serial: Avoid unbalanced IRQ wake disable during resume

2010-12-16T21:14:32+00:00

To avoid unbalanced IRQ wake disable, ensure that wakeups are disabled
only when wakeups have been successfully enabled.
Tested on OMAP3630SDP/ZOOM3.

8250: add a UPIO_DWAPB32 for 32 bit accesses

2010-12-10T23:19:38+00:00

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"

BKL: remove extraneous #include

2010-11-17T16:59:32+00:00

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.

Remove this too as a cleanup.

tty: Make tiocgicount a handler

2010-10-22T17:20:04+00:00

Dan Rosenberg noted that various drivers return the struct with uncleared
fields. Instead of spending forever trying to stomp all the drivers that
get it wrong (and every new driver) do the job in one place.

This first patch adds the needed operations and hooks them up, including
the needed USB midlayer and serial core plumbing.

serial-core: restore termios settings when resume console ports

2010-10-22T17:20:02+00:00

The commit 4547be7 rewrites suspend and resume functions. According
to this rewrite, when a serial port is a printk console device and
can suspend(without set no_console_suspend flag), it will definitely
call set_termios function during its resume, but parameter termios
isn't initialized, this will pass an unpredictable config to the
serial port. If this serial port is not a userspace opened tty device
, a suspend and resume action will make this serial port unusable.
I.E. ttyS0 is a printk console device, ttyS1 or keyboard+display is
userspace tty device, a suspend/resume action will make ttyS0
unusable.

If a serial port is both a printk console device and an opened tty
device, this issue can be overcome because it will call set_termios
again with the correct parameter in the uart_change_speed function.

Refer to the deleted content of commit 4547be7, revert parts relate
to restore settings into parameter termios. It is safe because if
a serial port is a printk console only device, the only meaningful
field in termios is c_cflag and its old config is saved in
uport->cons->cflag, if this port is also an opened tty device,
it will clear uport->cons->cflag in the uart_open and the old config
is saved in tty->termios.

serial-core: skip call set_termios/console_start when no_console_suspend

2010-10-22T17:20:01+00:00

The commit 4547be7 rewrites suspend and resume functions, this
introduces a problem on the OMAP3EVM platoform. when the kernel boots
with no_console_suspend and we suspend the kernel, then resume it,
the serial console will be not usable. This problem should be common
for all platforms.
The cause for this problem is that when enter suspend, if we choose
no_console_suspend, the console_stop will be skiped. But in resume
function, the console port will be set to uninitialized state by
calling set_termios function and the console_start is called without
checking whether the no_console_suspend is set, Now fix it.

tty: untangle locking of wait_until_sent

2010-08-10T20:47:43+00:00

Some wait_until_sent versions require the big
tty mutex, others don't and some callers of
wait_until_sent already hold it while other don't.
That leads to recursive use of the BTM in these
functions, which we're trying to get rid of.

This turns all cleans up the locking there so
that the driver's wait_until_sent function
never takes the BTM itself if it is already
called with that lock held.

tty: replace BKL with a new tty_lock

2010-08-10T20:47:43+00:00

As a preparation for replacing the big kernel lock
in the TTY layer, wrap all the callers in new
macros tty_lock, tty_lock_nested and tty_unlock.
