* [SERIAL]: Fix section mismatches in Sun serial console drivers.David S. Miller2007-12-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're exporting an __init function, oops :-) The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers need to do. There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver, except that init will probably not pick up the console change without some other support code. Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match() and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SERIAL] sparc: Infrastructure to fix section mismatch bugs.Martin Habets2007-12-121-5/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.David S. Miller2007-07-201-77/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which is wrong. The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias or similar to a full path name to the console device. Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option specification is missing. This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device' property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console. The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too. Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

* [SPARC]: Linux always started with 9600 8N1Jan Engelhardt2007-05-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux kernel ignored the PROM's serial settings (115200,n,8,1 in my case). This was because mode_prop remained "ttyX-mode" (expected: "ttya-mode") due to the constness of string literals when used with "char *". Since there is no "ttyX-mode" property in the PROM, Linux always used the default 9600. [ Investigation of the suncore.s assembler reveals that gcc optimizied away the stores, yet did not emit a warning, which is a pretty anti-social thing to do and is the only reason this bug lived for so long -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [SPARC64]: Serial Console for E250 PatchEddie C. Dost2006-01-181-2/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Eddie C. Dost <ecd@brainaid.de> I have the following patch for serial console over the RSC (remote system controller) on my E250 machine. It basically adds support for input-device=rsc and output-device=rsc from OBP, and allows 115200,8,n,1,- serial mode setting. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
