tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long. add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350) function old new delta chr_dev_init 166 170 +4 allow_signal 80 82 +2 static.__warned 143 142 -1 disallow_signal 63 62 -1 __set_special_pids 95 94 -1 unregister_console 126 121 -5 start_kernel 546 541 -5 register_console 593 588 -5 copy_from_user 45 40 -5 sys_setsid 128 120 -8 sys_vhangup 32 19 -13 do_exit 1543 1526 -17 bitmap_zero 60 40 -20 arch_local_irq_save 137 117 -20 release_task 674 652 -22 static.spin_unlock_irqrestore 308 260 -48 Signed-off-by: Joe Millenbach <jmillenbach@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

tty: Add timed, writer-prioritized rw semaphore The semantics of a rw semaphore are almost ideally suited for tty line discipline lifetime management; multiple active threads obtain "references" (read locks) while performing i/o to prevent the loss or change of the current line discipline (write lock). Unfortunately, the existing rw_semaphore is ill-suited in other ways; 1) TIOCSETD ioctl (change line discipline) expects to return an error if the line discipline cannot be exclusively locked within 5 secs. Lock wait timeouts are not supported by rwsem. 2) A tty hangup is expected to halt and scrap pending i/o, so exclusive locking must be prioritized. Writer priority is not supported by rwsem. Add ld_semaphore which implements these requirements in a semantically similar way to rw_semaphore. Writer priority is handled by separate wait lists for readers and writers. Pending write waits are priortized before existing read waits and prevent further read locks. Wait timeouts are trivially added, but obviously change the lock semantics as lock attempts can fail (but only due to timeout). This implementation incorporates the write-lock stealing work of Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com>.

n_tracerouter and n_tracesink ldisc additions. The n_tracerouter and n_tracesink line discpline drivers use the Linux tty line discpline framework to route trace data coming from a tty port (say UART for example) to the trace sink line discipline driver and to another tty port(say USB). Those these two line discipline drivers can be used together, independently from pti.c, they are part of the original implementation solution of the MIPI P1149.7, compact JTAG, PTI solution for Intel mobile platforms starting with the Medfield platform.

tty: move hvc drivers to drivers/tty/hvc/ As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be built, and it really is a hvc driver.

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

tty/powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor byte channel driver The ePAPR embedded hypervisor specification provides an API for "byte channels", which are serial-like virtual devices for sending and receiving streams of bytes. This driver provides Linux kernel support for byte channels via three distinct interfaces: 1) An early-console (udbg) driver. This provides early console output through a byte channel. The byte channel handle must be specified in a Kconfig option. 2) A normal console driver. Output is sent to the byte channel designated for stdout in the device tree. The console driver is for handling kernel printk calls. 3) A tty driver, which is used to handle user-space input and output. The byte channel used for the console is designated as the default tty.

goldfish: tty driver This provides a console driver for the Goldfish virtual platform. The original is from Arve with changes from Jun Nakajima and Tom Keel. This has been then been ported to the current kernel and to the tty port mechanism by Alan Cox. In the process it gained proper POSIX semantics and vhangup works. The default name is not ttyS as this belongs to the 8250 driver. Instead ttyGFx is now used. In the normal usage case the first port serves as a kernel logging console and the second one carries various other data streams for the emulation.
