drivers/tty/hvc: don't free hvc_console_setup after init

2014-06-09T12:29:06Z

commit 501fed45b7e8836ee9373f4d31e2d85e3db6103a upstream. When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest, hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel, because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'. Signed-off-by: Tomoki Sekiyama Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

hvc: ensure hvc_init is only ever called once in hvc_console.c

2014-04-30T15:23:20Z

commit f76a1cbed18c86e2d192455f0daebb48458965f3 upstream. Commit 3e6c6f630a5282df8f3393a59f10eb9c56536d23 ("Delay creation of khcvd thread") moved the call of hvc_init from being a device_initcall into hvc_alloc, and used a non-null hvc_driver as indication of whether hvc_init had already been called. The problem with this is that hvc_driver is only assigned a value at the bottom of hvc_init, and so there is a window where multiple hvc_alloc calls can be in progress at the same time and hence try and call hvc_init multiple times. Previously the use of device_init guaranteed that hvc_init was only called once. This manifests itself as sporadic instances of two hvc_init calls racing each other, and with the loser of the race getting -EBUSY from tty_register_driver() and hence that virtual console fails: Couldn't register hvc console driver virtio-ports vport0p1: error -16 allocating hvc for port Here we add an atomic_t to guarantee we'll never run hvc_init twice.

powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms.

2013-09-10T00:57:34Z

commit d220980b701d838560a70de691b53be007e99e78 upstream. This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually become workable but much later into the boot process. Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger for more reliability. This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary bootloader and PowerNV firmware. Signed-off-by: Eugene Surovegin Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

tty: hvc_dcc: Fix duplicate character inputs

2011-11-15T20:02:13Z

Reading from the DCC grabs a character from the buffer and clears the status bit. Since this is a context-changing operation, instructions following the character read that rely on the status bit being accurate need to be synchronized with an ISB. In this case, the status bit check needs to execute after the character read otherwise we run the risk of reading the character and checking the status bit before the read can clear the status bit in the first place. When this happens, the user will see the same character they typed twice, instead of once. Add an ISB after the read and the write, so that the status check is synchronized with the read/write operations. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Revert "hvc_console: display printk messages on console."

2011-11-07T06:22:16Z

This reverts commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0. It causes an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so: [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled ... as reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. And Rusty reports the same for lguest. He goes on to say: "This is not a concurrency problem: the issue seems to be that calling register_console() twice on the same struct console is a bad idea." and Greg says he'll fix it up properly at some point later. Revert for now. Reported-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Reported-by: Rusty Russell Requested-by: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Miche Baker-Harvey Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: Add module.h to drivers/tty users who just expect it there.

2011-10-31T23:31:27Z

We are cleaning up the issue that means module.h is omnipresent. These tty users are the people who implictly are relying on that. Fix up the real users to call out the include that they really need. In the case of jsm_driver.c file, it had moduleparam.h but that isn't enough and it needs the full module.h Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

hvc_console: display printk messages on console.

2011-10-18T21:17:10Z

printk only works for "registered consoles." Currently, the hvc_console code calls register_console() from hvc_instantiate(), but that's only used in the early console case. In hvc_alloc(), register_console() was not called. Add a call to register_console() in hvc_alloc(), set up the index in the hvc_console, and set up the necessary vtermnos[] and cons_op[] entries so that printk functions work.
