2008-07-25hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacksChristian Borntraeger
This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Make sure only one of them actually registers as a driver. Also, remove cast from get_property(). Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2006-07-31[POWERPC] pseries: Constify & voidify get_property()Jeremy Kerr
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can constify get_property later. pseries platform changes.

2006-07-13[POWERPC] Make the hvc_console output buffer size settableStephen Rothwell
So the iSeries console will be faster since it can send up to 200 bytes at a time to the Hypervisor. This only affects the tty part of the console, the console writes are still in 16 byte lots. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: hvc_console updatesRyan S. Arnold
These are some updates from both Ryan and Arnd for the hvc_console driver: The main point is to enable the inclusion of a console driver for rtas, which is currrently needed for the cell platform. Also shuffle around some data-type declarations and moves some functions out of include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h and into a new drivers/char/hvc_console.h file. Signed-off-by: "Ryan S.

2005-07-07[PATCH] hvc_console: Register ops when setting up hvc_consoleMilton Miller
When registering the hvc console port, register a list of ops (read and write) to go with it, instead of calling fixed function names. This allows different ports to encode the data differently.
