2007-05-08Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot consoleGerd Hoffmann
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf). Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

2007-02-13sh: allow earlyprintk baud rate to be set via command lineJamie Lenehan
This allows the baud rate for earlyprintk for sh4 without the standard BIOS to be set via the command line. This uses the same format as i386 and x86_64, which is: earlyprintk=serial,ttySC1,38400 The second parameter (ttySC1 above) is usually the console device name or the io address of the serial port. I allow that to be specified but ignore it in order to keep the format the same as i386/x86_64. Signed-off-by: Jamie Lenehan <lenehan@twibble.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2006-12-06sh: More flexible + SH7780 earlyprintk SCIF support.Paul Mundt
This makes the early printk support somewhat more flexible, moving the port definition to a config option, and making the port initialization configurable for sh-ipl+g users. At the same time, this allows us to trivially wire up the SH7780 SCIF0, so that's thrown in too more or less for free. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2006-09-27sh: earlyprintk= support and cleanups.Paul Mundt
Allow multiple early printk consoles via earlyprintk=. With this change earlyprintk is no longer enabled by default, it must be specified on the kernel command line. Optionally with ,keep to prevent unreg by tty_io. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
