2008-05-27xen-console: add save/restoreJeremy Fitzhardinge
Add code to: 1. Deal with the console page being canonicalized. During save, the console's mfn in the start_info structure is canonicalized to a pfn. In order to deal with that, we always use a copy of the pfn and indirect off that all the time. However, we fall back to using the mfn if the pfn hasn't been initialized yet. 2. Restore the console event channel, and rebind it to the existing irq. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-27xen: make earlyprintk=xen work againJeremy Fitzhardinge
For some perverse reason, if you call add_preferred_console() it prevents setup_early_printk() from successfully enabling the boot console - unless you make it a preferred console too... Also, make xenboot console output distinct from normal console output, since it gets repeated when the console handover happens, and the duplicated output is confusing without disambiguation.

2008-05-27xen: make early console also write to debug consoleJeremy Fitzhardinge
When using "earlyprintk=xen", also write the console output to the raw debug console. This will appear on dom0's console if the hypervisor has been compiled to allow it. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-27xen: add raw console write functions for debugJeremy Fitzhardinge
Add a couple of functions which can write directly to the Xen console for debugging. This output ends up on the host's dom0 console (assuming it allows the domain to write there). Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
