hvc_opal: don't set tb_ticks_per_usec in udbg_init_opal_common()

2018-08-06T14:24:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 447808bf500a7cc92173266a59f8a494e132b122 ] time_init() will set up tb_ticks_per_usec based on reality. time_init() is called *after* udbg_init_opal_common() during boot. from arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c: unsigned long tb_ticks_per_usec = 100; /* sane default */ Currently, all powernv systems have a timebase frequency of 512mhz (512000000/1000000 == 0x200) - although there's nothing written down anywhere that I can find saying that we couldn't make that different based on the requirements in the ISA. So, we've been (accidentally) thwacking the (currently) correct (for powernv at least) value for tb_ticks_per_usec earlier than we otherwise would have. The "sane default" seems to be adequate for our purposes between udbg_init_opal_common() and time_init() being called, and if it isn't, then we should probably be setting it somewhere that isn't hvc_opal.c!

tty: hvc_xen: hide xen_console_remove when unused

2018-02-25T10:03:46+00:00

commit e36ae3439936e13c33f5841c7c2c1a9875acbb6d upstream. xencons_disconnect_backend() is only called from xen_console_remove(), which is conditionally compiled, so we get a harmless warning when CONFIG_HVC_XEN_FRONTEND is unset: hvc/hvc_xen.c:350:12: error: 'xen_console_remove' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] This moves the function down into the same #ifdef section to silence the warning.

tty: Remove tty_wait_until_sent_from_close()

2015-10-18T04:11:29+00:00

tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting for the tty driver to finish sending previously accepted data (ie., data remaining in its write buffer and transmit fifo). tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() was added by commit a57a7bf3fc7e ("TTY: define tty_wait_until_sent_from_close") to prevent the entire tty subsystem from being unable to open new ttys while waiting for one tty to close while output drained. However, since commit 0911261d4cb6 ("tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty count changes"), holding a tty lock while closing does not prevent other ttys from being opened/closed/hung up, but only prevents lifetime event changes for the tty under lock. Holding the tty lock while waiting for output to drain does prevent parallel non-blocking opens (O_NONBLOCK) from advancing or returning while the tty lock is held. However, all parallel opens _already_ block even if the tty lock is dropped while closing and the parallel open advances. Blocking in open has been in mainline since at least 2.6.29 (see tty_port_block_til_ready(); note the test for O_NONBLOCK is _after_ the wait while ASYNC_CLOSING). IOW, before this patch a non-blocking open will sleep anyway for the _entire_ duration of a parallel hardware shutdown, and when it wakes, the error return will cause a release of its tty, and it will restart with a fresh attempt to open. Similarly with a blocking open that is already waiting; when it's woken, the hardware shutdown has already completed to ASYNC_INITIALIZED is not set, which forces a release and restart as well. So, holding the tty lock across the _entire_ close (which is what this patch does), even while waiting for output to drain, is equivalent to the current outcome wrt parallel opens.

drivers/tty: make hvc_console.c explicitly non-modular

2015-10-04T16:27:56+00:00

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: drivers/tty/hvc/Kconfig:config HVC_DRIVER drivers/tty/hvc/Kconfig: bool ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only, even though someone bothered to comment that the code was not used. Unlike other changes, this driver binds in w/o using module_init, so we dont have init ordering concerns with this commit.

s390/iucv: do not use arrays as argument

2015-09-21T23:03:04+00:00

The iucv code uses arrays as arguments. Even though this does not really cause a problem, it could be misleading, since the compiler turns array arguments into just a pointer argument. To be more precise this patch changes the array arguments into pointers. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
