serial: don't optimise away baud rate changes when BOTHER is used

2007-08-23T02:52:44+00:00

The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to
touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed.
Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed.  So if
the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change
gets optimised away.

This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check
whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed.  Those integers are always set
appropriately for us by set_termios().

Use resource_size_t for serial port IO addresses

2007-07-24T19:24:58+00:00

At present, various parts of the serial code use unsigned long to define
resource addresses.  This is a problem, because some 32-bit platforms have
physical addresses larger than 32-bits, and have mmio serial uarts located
above the 4GB point.

This patch changes the type of mapbase in both struct uart_port and struct
plat_serial8250_port to resource_size_t, which can be configured to be 64
bits on such platforms.  The mapbase in serial_struct can't safely be
changed, because that structure is user visible.

serial: assert DTR for serial console devices

2007-07-16T16:05:34+00:00

Some RS-232 devices require DTR to be asserted before they can be used.  DTR
is normally asserted in uart_startup() when the port is opened.  But we don't
actually open serial console ports, so assert DTR when the port is added.

BTW:
earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.

rmk says

  The only issue I can think of is the possibility for an attached modem to
  auto-answer or maybe even auto-dial before the system is ready for it to do
  so.  Might have an undesirable cost implication for some running with such a
  setup.

  Apart from that, I can't think of any other side effect of this specific
  patch.

serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_core

2007-05-07T19:12:50+00:00

At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the
port address, irq and base clock of any serial port.  That makes sense for
legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports
at peculiar addresses.  In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports
must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can
be unusual on embedded boards).  It doesn't make sense for userspace to change
these settings.

Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port
structure.  If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any
attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with
setserial are ignored.

In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports
probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

serial driver PMC MSP71xx

2007-05-07T19:12:50+00:00

Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices.

There are three different fixes:

1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard
  16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by
  disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled
  if a character is actually sent out.

  It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree
  also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround.  This patch now
  needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch.

2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature
  which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy
  when the LCR is written.  This fix saves the value of the LCR and
  rewrites it after clearing the interrupt.

3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to
  ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART
  before returning from the ISR.  This fix reads a non-destructive register
  on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously
  queued write transaction has also completed.

[PATCH] serial: make sure UART is powered up when dumping MCTRL status

2007-02-14T16:09:52+00:00

Since serial devices are powered down when not in use and some of those
devices cannot be accessed when powered down, we need to enable power
around calls to get_mcrtl() when dumping port state via uart_line_info().
This resolves hangs observed on some machines while reading serial device
registers when a port is powered off.

[PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios

2006-12-08T16:28:57+00:00

This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia
