Same reasoning as commit 747c8a55946ed037bf7d62454c3c599c02af2262
but this time we're making uart_port flags a bitwise type - not
all of these flags correspond with the old ASYNC_ flags, so there
is the possibility for bugs if the wrong ASYNC_* constants are
used. Always use UPF_* constants for uart_port->flags.

The functionality UPF_BOOT_ONLYMCA provided has been replaced by
the 8250_mca module, which only registers MCA ports if MCA is
present.
UPF_AUTOPROBE has no functional effect - in fact, it's never
tested. Only ibmasm set the flag.

This patch resolves most of the problems with an SMP serial console race
with output via the tty path. At the end of the serial console print we
force enable the tx int in case we clobbered the tx interrupt status
racing between the console and tty output. That way the extra tx
interrupt causes the transmit path to restart not hang.
It also makes the serial console printk use the FIFO. This is neccessary
because some remote management devices fake serial console with FIFO and
are confused into sending one packet per character over ethernet when we
stall rather than filling the FIFO.
In order to preserve existing reliability semantics the function waits
for the serial queue to completely empty before returning.
Both of these problems were identified by a Red Hat partner.

I have the following patch for serial console over the RSC
(remote system controller) on my E250 machine. It basically adds
support for input-device=rsc and output-device=rsc from OBP, and
allows 115200,8,n,1,- serial mode setting.

There is a new device which is look like:
Serial controller: Decision Computer International Co. PCCOM2 (rev 02) (prog-if 02 [16550])
0700: 6666:0004 (rev 02) (prog-if 02)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 177
Memory at fe000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
I/O ports at e880 [size=128]
I/O ports at e400 [size=256]
It has two 16550A, and is not listed in kernel, although the
manufacturer clams that it is supported...

Commit 7493a314cb83797ce612a577475aacaedc553fed changed the ordering
of the registration of the platform device driver vs the 8250 drivers
internal initialisation. This led to the probe function being called
before the driver had finished its internal initialisation, causing
mayhem. Revert the ordering change.

Add driver support for a 2 port PCI IOC3-based serial card on Altix boxes:
This is a re-submission. On the original submission I was asked to
organize the code so that the MIPS ioc3 ethernet and serial parts could be
used with this driver. Stanislaw Skowronek was kind enough to provide the
shim layer for this - thanks Stanislaw. This patch includes the shim layer
and the Altix PCI ioc3 serial driver. The MIPS merged ioc3 ethernet and
serial support is forthcoming.

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

a easy way to reproduce it is log into the system using ssh and do:

produce the oops
this happens because uart_close calls uart_shutdown which frees xmit.buf,
currently used by xchar sending in cpm_uart_tx_pump(), which seems wrong.
the attached patch fixes the oops and also fixes xchar sending.

blocked process when DCD is asserted."
Fix this by enabling modem status interrupts immediately before
we read the carrier detect status.

Before this patch we were just using the "classic" /dev/ttySx devices.
However when another on the system is loaded that uses those (like drivers for
