The low-level uart driver may modify termios settings to override
settings that are not compatible with the uart, such as CRTSCTS.
Thus, callers of the low-level uart driver's set_termios() method must
hold termios_rwsem write lock to prevent concurrent access to termios,
in case such override occurs.
The termios_rwsem lock requirement does not extend to console setup
(ie., uart_set_options), as console setup cannot race with tty
operations. Nor does this lock requirement extend to functions which
cannot be concurrent with tty ioctls (ie., uart_port_startup() and
uart_resume_port()).
Further, always claim the port mutex to protect hardware
re-reprogramming in the set_termios() uart driver method. Note this
is unnecessary for console initialization in uart_set_options()
which cannot be concurrent with other uart operations.

START_CHAR() & STOP_CHAR() can be disabled if set to '\0'
(__DISABLED_CHAR). UART drivers which define a send_xchar()
handler must not transmit __DISABLED_CHAR.
Document requirement.

This patch add some helpers to control modem lines (CTS/RTS/DSR...) via
GPIO.
This will be useful for many boards which have a serial controller that
only handle CTS/RTS pins (or even just RX/TX).

This deletes the .set_wake() callback in the struct uart_ops.
Apparently this has been unused since pre-git times. In the
old-2.6-bkcvs it is deleted as part of a changeset removing
the PM_SET_WAKEUP from pm_request_t which is since also deleted
from the kernel.
The apropriate way to set wakeups in the kernel is to have a
code snippet like this in .suspend() or .runtime_suspend()
callbacks:
static int foo_suspend(struct device *dev)
{
if (device_may_wakeup(dev)) {
/* Enable wakeups, set internal states */
}
}
This specific callback is not coming back.

The serial core is using power states lifted from ACPI for no
good reason. Remove this reference from the documentation and
alter all users to use an enum specific to the serial core
instead, and define it in <linux/serial_core.h>.

Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very
confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They
also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running
after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data.
This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct,
along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit
buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to
syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer
is flushed.

Improve serial driver documentation:
- Remove CVS id.
- Update pointer to reference driver documentation.
- Add comments about new uart_write_console function.
- Add TIOCM_LOOP modem control bit description.
- Add commentry about enable_ms method being called multiple times.
- Add commentry about startup/shutdown method calling.
- Mention that dereferencing port->info after shutdown is invalid.

The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate
whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and
some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to
immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a
feature.)
There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is
lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS
is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would
allow the transmitter to drain before stopping.
There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter
drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters
to send.
Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this
flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and
allow transmitter to drain" case.

This patch changes the way serial ports are locked when getting modem
status. This change is necessary because we will need to atomically
read the modem status and take action depending on the CTS status.

set_termios matches the style used for the other methods. It should
have been this from the start.
|

Several serial drivers want to obtain the numeric baud rate when
configuring their serial ports. Currently, two methods are used
to "work around" this inadequacy in the change_speed API:
baud = tty_get_baud_rate(port->info->tty);
baud = BAUD_BASE / (16 * quot);
Passing the termios structure down means that we can use
uart_get_baud_rate() instead. We can also ensure that the various
termios flags for options we don't support are correctly set.
Lastly, this also provides 8250.c with a clean method for supporting
divisors that are greater than the baud_base.

After the last few days of debugging, we've ended up with the caller
of the start_tx and stop_tx methods taking the per-port lock. This
cset and the accompanying csets make the same change to some of the
other methods for consistency reasons. Since these methods don't
contain a lot of code, it is better that they have consistent locking
rules.
This cset fixes up the enable_ms method.

The original fix sent to Ingo for stop_tx didn't take account that
the start_tx and stop_tx methods can be called from the device
specific code under the port spinlock. Consequently, we move the
spinlock to the callers of these methods. Documentation updated
to reflect the change.

The serial layer is restructured to allow less code duplication (and
hence bug duplication) across various serial drivers. Since ARM adds
six extra serial drivers, maintaining six copies of serial.c was not
my idea of fun.
Therefore, we've ended up with a core serial driver, which knows about
the interactions with the tty layer, and low-level hardware drivers,
which know all about the hardware. The interface between the two is
described in "Documentation/serial/driver".
This patch completely removes the old serial.c driver and its associated
configuration options, as you requested at KS2002. We keep a certain
amount of configuration compatibility with the per-architecture serial.h
file for the moment; this *will* be killed in the next round of patches.
The biggest user of this is x86, and since I don't have an x86 box to
test this stuff on, I think the changes are best kept separate.
