2006-12-07[PATCH] serial uartlite driverPeter Korsgaard
Add a driver for the Xilinx uartlite serial controller used in boards with the PPC405 core in the Xilinx V2P/V4 fpgas. The hardware is very simple (baudrate/start/stopbits fixed and no break support). See the datasheet for details: http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/ipcenter/data_sheet/opb_uartlite.pdf See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/1237/ for the email thread.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
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.

2006-10-01[SERIAL] Fix oops when removing suspended serial portRussell King

2006-07-09[SERIAL] 8250: add tsi108 serial supportZang Roy-r61911
The following patch gets rid of CONFIG_TSI108_BRIDGE. I add UPIO_TSI to handle IIR and IER register in serial_in and serial_out. (1) the reason to rewrite serial_in: TSI108 rev Z1 version ERRATA. Reading the UART's Interrupt Identification Register (IIR) clears the Transmit Holding Register Empty (THRE) and Transmit buffer Empty (TEMP) interrupts even if they are not enabled in the Interrupt Enable Register (IER). This leads to loss of the interrupts. Interrupts are not cleared when reading UART registers as 32-bit word. (2) the reason to rewrite serial_out: Check for UART_IER_UUE bit in the autoconfig routine. This section of autoconfig is excluded for Tsi108/109 because bits 7 and 6 are reserved for internal use. They are R/W bits. In addition to incorrect identification, changing these bits (from 00) will make Tsi108/109 UART non-functional.

Some UARTs have more than 255 bytes of FIFO, which can't be represented by an unsigned char. Change the kernel's internal structure to be an unsigned int, but still export an unsigned char via the TIOCGSERIAL ioctl.

2006-01-21[SERIAL] Make uart_port flags a bitwise typeRussell King
Same reasoning as commit 747c8a55946ed037bf7d62454c3c599c02af2262 but this time we're making uart_port flags a bitwise type - not all of these flags correspond with the old ASYNC_ flags, so there is the possibility for bugs if the wrong ASYNC_* constants are used.

2006-01-21[SERIAL] Fix UPF_ flag usage with uart_info->flagsRussell King

2005-08-31[SERIAL] Clean up and fix tty transmission start/stopingRussell King
The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a feature.) There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would allow the transmitter to drain before stopping. There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters to send. Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and allow transmitter to drain" case.

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.
