printk: implement support for extended console drivers

2015-06-26T00:00:38Z

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary, which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost in transit. This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. ",,,;\n" If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects /dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by this change. * Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there are registered extended consoles. * Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

console: Add extensible console matching

2015-03-26T15:16:20Z

Add match() method to struct console which allows the console to perform console command line matching instead of (or in addition to) default console matching (ie., by fixed name and index). The match() method returns 0 to indicate a successful match; normal console matching occurs if no match() method is defined or the match() method returns non-zero. The match() method is expected to set the console index if required. Re-implement earlycon-to-console-handoff with direct matching of "console=uart|uart8250,..." to the 8250 ttyS console.

early_printk: consolidate random copies of identical code

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-08T02:02:41Z

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-08T02:02:40Z

Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order. This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY

2013-01-19T00:15:27Z

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY.

tty/console: fix warnings in drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c

2012-10-12T11:37:36Z

The con_debug_leave/con_debug_enter functions are stubbed out by defining them to (0), which causes harmless build warnings. Using proper inline functions is the normal way to deal with this.
