Our code now rather closely resembles the helper, so switch to it. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

The port mutex protects port->tty, but these paths never need to walk from port->tty. They do need the low level lock as the API expects that but they already also take it. Thus we can drop the extra mutex lock calls here. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

We can make this the same as the ones that will be needed by the tty_port helper logic that we want to move to but still call them from the existing code base. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

We want to push the lock/unlock into the helper functions so that we can prepare to move to using the tty_port helper. The expansion initially comes out a bit ugly but its worth the temporary expansion IMHO just so we can produce a nice testable series of changes.

The vt layer isn't safely handling reference counts to tty object on the input side. Add a tty port structure to the vt layer in order to implement this using the standard helpers.

Pass down the ldisc number so that the drivers don't have to peek into the tty object themselves. This lets us get rid of another case of back referencing port to tty which we don't want (because of races versus hangup/close).

One or two drivers go poking back into the tty from the termios setting routine in unsafe ways. We don't need to pass the tty down because the [ab]users are just using it to get at things they can get at anyway. This leaves low_latency setting to sort out along with set_ldisc use.

Use the port mutex and port lock to fix the various races. The locking still isn't totally consistent but its better than before. Wants switching to the port helpers. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

We don't need it while waiting and we can lock the ioctls using the port mutex. While at it eliminate use of the hangup mutex and switch to the port mutex. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

We can use the port mutex for this and also for the hangup path so removing the problematic use of the hangup mutex in this driver. Fix up the locking on the various port flags while we are at it. Ultimately this driver needs to be using tty_port_ helpers which would sort this out far better.

The riscom8 board uses lock_kernel to protect bits of the port setting ioctl logic. We can use the port mutex for this as the logic is internal and will also lock set versus open (a locking property that has been lost somewhere along the way) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Jesse Barnes authored
Jesse's initial patch commit said: "At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since some drivers are capable of flipping back to it. So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a panic context." I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

hyc@symas.com authored
This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

As Jeff Dike pointed out, the Hayes ESP driver was removed in commit f53a2ade, so these ioctl definitions should also be removed. This cleans up the remaining arch-specific locations of this ioctl value. Thanks to Arnd for pointing these out.

Arjan van de Ven authored
The mrst_max3110 driver had a set of unsafe wakeup sequences along the following line: if (!atomic_read(&foo)) { atomic_set(&foo, 1); wake_up(worker_thread); } and the worker thread would do if (atomic_read(&foo)) { do_work(); atomic_set(&foo, 0); } which can result in various missed wakups due to test-then-set races, as well as due to clear-after-work instead of clear-before-work. This patch fixes these races by using the proper bit test-and-set operations, and by doing clear-before-work.

Arjan van de Ven authored
The mrst_max3110.c driver uses an open coded, non atomic variable to create exclusion between two of its worker threads. More than that, while the main thread does a proper set-work-clear sequence, the other thread only does a test, with the result that no actual exclusion is happening. this patch replaces this open coded variable with a proper mutex in addition, the 'lock' spinlock is removed from the per adapter structure, the lock was only ever initialized but never used Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

MAX3111 is the SPI/UART IC installed on the MRST SPI Port Card as a serial debug goal, and the SPI Port Card will be frequently mounted and unmounted from the main board by developers depending whether debug serial is required or not. As the MAX3111 has no subvendor or product id registers available, the patch will try to access one register to decide if this IC is present or not.

This driver enable the max3110 device, it can be used as a system console. the IRQ needs be enabled if user want a better performance.
