tty: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/tty/ It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

serial: make uart_console_write->putchar()'s character an unsigned char Currently, uart_console_write->putchar's second parameter (the character) is of type int. It makes little sense, provided uart_console_write() accepts the input string as "const char *s" and passes its content -- the characters -- to putchar(). So switch the character's type to unsigned char. We don't use char as that is signed on some platforms. That would cause troubles for drivers which (implicitly) cast the char to u16 when writing to the device. Sign extension would happen in that case and the value written would be completely different to the provided char. DZ is an example of such a driver -- on MIPS, it uses u16 for dz_out in dz_console_putchar(). Note we do the char -> uchar conversion implicitly in uart_console_write(). Provided we do not change size of the data type, sign extension does not happen there, so the problem is void. This makes the types consistent and unified with the rest of the uart layer, which uses unsigned char in most places already. One exception is xmit_buf, but that is going to be converted later.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

[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.

[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!

In particular, when the device is used as a console, incoming bytes can kill the box. This is caused by removed checks for TTY against NULL. It happened because it was unclear to me why the checks were there. I assumed them superfluous because the interrupts were unbound or otherwise stopped. But this is not the case for consoles for these drivers, as was pointed out by David Miller. Now, this patch re-introduces the checks (at this point we check port->state, not the tty proper, as we do not care about tty pointers anymore). For both of the drivers, we place the check below the handling of break signal so that sysrq can actually work. (One needs to issue a break and then sysrq key within the following 5 seconds.) We do not change sc26xx, sunhv, and sunsu here because they behave the same as before. People having that hardware should fix the driver eventually, however. They always could unconditionally dereference tty in receive_chars, port->state in uart_handle_dcd_change, and up->port.state->port.tty. There is perhaps more to fix in all those drivers, but they are at least in a state they were before. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: "David S.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo Switch from struct circ_buf to proper kfifo. kfifo provides much better API, esp. when wrap-around of the buffer needs to be taken into account. Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example. Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they handle DMA specially. Note that usb-serial uses kfifo for TX for ages. omap needed a bit more care as it needs to put a char into FIFO to start the DMA transfer when OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK is set.

tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo Switch from struct circ_buf to proper kfifo. kfifo provides much better API, esp. when wrap-around of the buffer needs to be taken into account. Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example. Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they handle DMA specially.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example. Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they handle DMA specially. Note that usb-serial uses kfifo for TX for ages. omap needed a bit more care as it needs to put a char into FIFO to start the DMA transfer when OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK is set. In that case, we have to do kfifo_dma_out_prepare twice: once to find out the tx_size (to find out if it is worths to do DMA at all -- size >= 4), the second time for the actual transfer. All traces of circ_buf are removed from serial_core.h (and its struct uart_state).

serial: Fix IGNBRK handling If IGNBRK is set without either BRKINT or PARMRK set, some uart drivers send a 0x00 byte for BREAK without the TTYBREAK flag to the line discipline, when it should send either nothing or the TTYBREAK flag set. This happens because the read_status_mask masks out the BI condition, which uart_insert_char() then interprets as a normal 0x00 byte. SUS v3 is clear regarding the meaning of IGNBRK; Section 11.2.2, General Terminal Interface - Input Modes, states: "If IGNBRK is set, a break condition detected on input shall be ignored; that is, not put on the input queue and therefore not read by any process." Fix read_status_mask to include the BI bit if IGNBRK is set; the lsr status retains the BI bit if a BREAK is recv'd, which is subsequently ignored in uart_insert_char() when masked with the ignore_status_mask.

[SERIAL] sparc: Infrastructure to fix section mismatch bugs. This patch against 2.6.23 sparc-2.6.git contains a number of minor cleanups of the sparc serial drivers. Initially I fixed this build warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x107a2c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:add_preferred_console (between 'sunserial_console_match' and 'sunserial_console_termios') which is done by declaring sunserial_console_match() as __init. This resulted in build warnings on sunserial_current_minor. To resolve these the variable was changed so it is no longer global, and to hide operations on it inside 2 new functions. These functions handle the UART minor handling code that is common to all sparc serial drivers. These changes allowed to clean up the uart counters in all the sparc serial drivers, and the administration of minor device numbers. Lastly, sunserial_console_termios() does not need to be exported since it is only called from non-modular code. Sadly, the following build warning still exists: WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x2910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sunserial_console_match (between '__ksymtab_sunserial_console_match' and '__ksymtab_sunserial_unregister_minors') This could be resolved by not exporting sunserial_console_match(), but this is not possible at the moment because it is being called from modular code. On the other hand, this is a bogus warning since it comes from a ksymtab section. Signed-off-by: Martin Habets <errandir_news@mph.eclipse.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[SERIAL] sparc: Infrastructure to fix section mismatch bugs. This patch against 2.6.23 sparc-2.6.git contains a number of minor cleanups of the sparc serial drivers. Initially I fixed this build warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x107a2c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:add_preferred_console (between 'sunserial_console_match' and 'sunserial_console_termios') which is done by declaring sunserial_console_match() as __init. This resulted in build warnings on sunserial_current_minor. To resolve these the variable was changed so it is no longer global, and to hide operations on it inside 2 new functions. These functions handle the UART minor handling code that is common to all sparc serial drivers. These changes allowed to clean up the uart counters in all the sparc serial drivers, and the administration of minor device numbers. Lastly, sunserial_console_termios() does not need to be exported since it is only called from non-modular code. Sadly, the following build warning still exists: WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x2910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sunserial_console_match (between '__ksymtab_sunserial_console_match' and '__ksymtab_sunserial_unregister_minors') This could be resolved by not exporting sunserial_console_match(), but this is not possible at the moment because it is being called from modular code.

serial: make uart_console_write->putchar()'s character an unsigned char Currently, uart_console_write->putchar's second parameter (the character) is of type int. It makes little sense, provided uart_console_write() accepts the input string as "const char *s" and passes its content -- the characters -- to putchar(). So switch the character's type to unsigned char. We don't use char as that is signed on some platforms. That would cause troubles for drivers which (implicitly) cast the char to u16 when writing to the device. Sign extension would happen in that case and the value written would be completely different to the provided char. DZ is an example of such a driver -- on MIPS, it uses u16 for dz_out in dz_console_putchar(). Note we do the char -> uchar conversion implicitly in uart_console_write(). Provided we do not change size of the data type, sign extension does not happen there, so the problem is void. This makes the types consistent and unified with the rest of the uart layer, which uses unsigned char in most places already. One exception is xmit_buf, but that is going to be converted later.
