serial: port: Introduce a common helper to read properties

2024-03-05T13:38:28Z

Several serial drivers want to read the same or similar set of the port properties. Make a common helper for them. Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240304123035.758700-4-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: core: Add UPIO_UNKNOWN constant for unknown port type

2024-03-05T13:38:28Z

In some APIs we would like to assign the special value to iotype and compare against it in another places. Introduce UPIO_UNKNOWN for this purpose. Note, we can't use 0, because it's a valid value for IO port access.

serial: core: Move struct uart_port::quirks closer to possible values

2024-03-05T13:38:28Z

Currently it's not crystal clear what UPIO_* and UPQ_* definitions belong to. Reindent the code, so it will be easy to read and understand. No functional changes intended.

serial: core: only stop transmit when HW fifo is empty

2024-03-05T13:37:29Z

If the circular buffer is empty, it just means we fit all characters to send into the HW fifo, but not that the hardware finished transmitting them. So if we immediately call stop_tx() after that, this may abort any pending characters in the HW fifo, and cause dropped characters on the console. Fix this by only stopping tx when the tx HW fifo is actually empty.

serial: core: introduce uart_port_tx_flags()

2024-02-06T14:42:02Z

And an enum with a flag: UART_TX_NOSTOP. To NOT call __port->ops->stop_tx() when the circular buffer is empty. mxs-uart needs this (see the next patch).

serial: core: Update uart_poll_timeout() function to return unsigned long

2024-01-04T15:20:05Z

The function uart_fifo_timeout() returns an unsigned long value, which is the number of jiffies. Therefore, change the variable timeout in the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long. Change the return type of the function uart_poll_timeout() from int to unsigned long to be consistent with the type of timeout values.

serial: core: Use lock wrappers

2023-09-18T09:18:08Z

When a serial port is used for kernel console output, then all modifications to the UART registers which are done from other contexts, e.g. getty, termios, are interference points for the kernel console. So far this has been ignored and the printk output is based on the principle of hope. The rework of the console infrastructure which aims to support threaded and atomic consoles, requires to mark sections which modify the UART registers as unsafe. This allows the atomic write function to make informed decisions and eventually to restore operational state. It also allows to prevent the regular UART code from modifying UART registers while printk output is in progress. All modifications of UART registers are guarded by the UART port lock, which provides an obvious synchronization point with the console infrastructure. To avoid adding this functionality to all UART drivers, wrap the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for uart_port::lock into helper functions which just contain the spin_[un]lock*() invocations for now. In a subsequent step these helpers will gain the console synchronization mechanisms. Converted with coccinelle. No functional change.

Provide wrapper functions for spin_[un]lock*(port->lock) invocations so that the console mechanics can be applied later on at a single place and does not require to copy the same logic all over the drivers.
