2008-02-08atmel_serial: add DMA supportChip Coldwell
This patch is based on the DMA-patch by Chip Coldwell for the AT91/AT32 serial USARTS, with some tweaks to make it apply neatly on top of the other patches in this series. The RX and TX code has been moved to a tasklet and reworked a bit. Instead of depending on the ENDRX and TIMEOUT bits in CSR, we simply grab as much data as we can from the DMA buffers. I think this closes a race where the ENDRX bit is set after we read CSR but before we read RPR, although I haven't confirmed this. Similarly, the two TX handlers (ENDTX and TXBUFE) have been combined into one. Since the current code only uses a single TX buffer, there's no point in handling those interrupts separately. This also fixes a DMA sync bug in the original patch.

2008-02-08atmel_serial: split the interrupt handlerRemy Bohmer
Split up the interrupt handler of the serial port into a interrupt top-half and a tasklet. The goal is to get the interrupt top-half as short as possible to minimize latencies on interrupts. But the old code also does some calls in the interrupt handler that are not allowed on preempt-RT in IRQF_NODELAY context. This handler is executed in this context because of the interrupt sharing with the timer interrupt. The timer interrupt on Preempt-RT runs in IRQF_NODELAY context. The tasklet takes care of handling control status changes, pushing incoming characters to the tty layer, handling break and other errors. It also handles pushing TX data into the data register. Reading the complete receive queue is still done in the top-half because we never want to miss any incoming character.

2008-02-07dz.c: Resource managementMaciej W. Rozycki
This is a set of changes to implement proper resource management in the driver, including iomem space reservation and operating on physical addresses ioremap()ped appropriately using accessory functions rather than unportable direct assignments. Some adjustments to code are made to reflect the architecture of the interface, which is a centrally controlled multiport (or, as referred to from DEC documentation, a serial line multiplexer, going up to 8 lines originally) rather than a bundle of separate ports. Types are changed, where applicable, to specify the width of hardware registers explicitly. The interrupt handler is now managed in the ->startup() and ->shutdown() calls for consistency with other drivers and also in preparation to handle the handover from the initial firmware-based console gracefully.

And remove the explicit encoding of the line selected from writes to the Line Parameters Register as it has been preencoded by the ->set_termios() call already.

Polled transmission is tricky enough with the DZ11 design. While "loop" is set to a high value, conceptually you are not allowed to transmit without checking whether the device offers the right transmission line (yes, it is the device that selects the line -- the driver has no control over it other than disabling the transmitter offered if it is the wrong one), so the loop has to be run at least once. Well, the '1977 or PDP11 view of how serial lines should be handled... Except that the serial interface used to be quite an impressive board back then rather than chip. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

The clock to generate the desired baudrate with the MPSC is first divided by the Baud Rate Generator (BRG) and then by the MPSC itself. So, when the BRG divider is changed, the MPSC divider must also be changed to generate the correct baudrate. During MPSC initialization, the BRG divider is changed but the MPSC divider isn't changed until much later. This results in some printk's coming out garbled.

2008-02-05serial: avoid stalling suspend if serial port won't drainRussell King
Some ports seem to be unable to drain their transmitters on shut down. Such a problem can occur if the port is programmed for hardware imposed flow control, characters are in the FIFO but the CTS signal is inactive. Normally, this isn't a problem because most places where we wait for the transmitter to drain have a time-out. However, there is no timeout in the suspend path. Give a port 30ms to drain; this is an arbitary value chosen to avoid long delays if there are many such ports in the system, while giving a reasonable chance for a single port to drain. Should a port not drain within this timeout, issue a warning.

2008-02-05serial: avoid waking up closed serial ports on resumeRussell King
When we boot, serial ports remain in low power mode until they're used either by userspace or for the kernel console. However, if you suspend the system, and then resume, all serial ports will be taken out of low power mode. This is bad news for embedded devices where this can mean higher power consumption. Only bring a serial port out of low power mode if the port is being used as the kernel console, or is in use by userspace.
