tty: moxa: drop ISA support

2025-03-20T15:00:51+00:00

I doubt anyone actually uses this driver (unlike mxser.c and serial moxa driven devices). Even less there is anyone with a moxa ISA card. The newer mxser dropped the support for ISA in 2021. Let this moxa follow now. Good diet. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby (SUSE) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250317070046.24386-20-jirislaby@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

printk: Add an option to allow ttynull to be a default console device

2025-03-17T15:25:18+00:00

The new option is CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE. if enabled, and CONFIG_VT is disabled, ttynull will become the default primary console device. ttynull will be the only console device usually with this option enabled. Some architectures do call add_preferred_console() which may add another console though. Motivation: Many distributions ship with CONFIG_VT enabled. On tested desktop hardware if CONFIG_VT is disabled, the default console device falls back to /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/tty. This could cause issues in user space, and hardware problems: 1. The user space issues include the case where /dev/ttyS0 is disconnected, and the TCGETS ioctl, which some user space libraries use as a probe to determine if a file is a tty, is called on /dev/console and fails. Programs that call isatty() on /dev/console and get an incorrect false value may skip expected logging to /dev/console. 2. The hardware issues include the case if a user has a science instrument or other device connected to the /dev/ttyS0 port, and they were to upgrade to a kernel that is disabling the CONFIG_VT option, kernel logs will then be sent to the device connected to /dev/ttyS0 unless they edit their kernel command line manually. The new CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE option will give users and distribution maintainers an option to avoid this. Disabling CONFIG_VT and enabling CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE will ensure the default kernel console behavior is not dependent on hardware configuration by default, and avoid unexpected new behavior on devices connected to the /dev/ttyS0 serial port.

tty: serial: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2024-10-28T21:44:28+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them unconditionally. Some 8250 serial drivers support MMIO only use, so fence only the parts requiring I/O ports and print an error message if a device can't be supported with the current configuration.

vt: remove superfluous CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE

2024-01-28T03:03:51+00:00

The config HW_CONSOLE is always identical to the config VT and is not visible in the kernel's build menuconfig. So, CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE is redundant. Replace all references to CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE with CONFIG_VT and remove CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE.

tty: synclink_gt: mark as BROKEN

2023-07-31T15:16:21+00:00

After walking and trying to clean up the worst in the driver, I came across the pci_driver::remove() _empty_ implementation. That would crash the system at least during hot-unplug (or write to remove in sysfs). There are many other problems: * Initialization + deinitialization apparently comes from no-hotplug support age. It needs a rewrite. * Hairy debug macros. Drop them. * Use of self-baked lists. Replace by list. * The order of the functions should be inverted and fwd decls dropped. * Coding style from the stone age. Fix. * I assume there are many bugs, but the code is unreadable at times, so hard to judge. There is one example posted [1]. I was able to find only one user back in 2016. So mark the driver as BROKEN for some time. Either someone will notice and we can bring the driver to this century. Or we will drop it completely if noone cares.

Fix typo in LEGACY_TIOCSTI Kconfig description There is a stray ' in the description before the Y. It appears this was meant as a quote for the 'Y'.
