alpha: don't use module_init for non-modular core code

2015-05-26T17:01:47Z

The srm console is always built in. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading. Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. Direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs prioritized ones. Use of device_initcall is consistent with what __initcall maps onto, and hence does not change the init order, making the impact of this change zero. Should someone with real hardware for boot testing want to change it later to arch_initcall or console_initcall, they can do that at a later date.

TTY: switch tty_schedule_flip

2013-01-16T06:43:15Z

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get in those paths. This is the last one: tty_schedule_flip Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: switch tty_insert_flip_char

2013-01-16T06:21:36Z

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get in those paths. tty_insert_flip_char is the next one to proceed. This one is used all over the code, so the patch is huge.

TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers

2012-11-16T01:20:58Z

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this assumption. To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places. This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed. This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: use tty_port_link_device

2012-08-13T23:50:19Z

So now for those drivers that can use neither tty_port_install nor tty_port_register_driver but still have tty_port available before tty_register_driver we use newly added tty_port_link_device. The rest of the drivers that still do not provide tty_struct <-> tty_port link will have to be converted to implement tty->ops->install.

TTY: srmcons, convert to use tty_port

2012-03-08T19:42:21Z

This is needed because the tty buffer will become a tty_port member later. That will help us to wipe out most of the races and checks for the tty pointer in hot paths. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ALPHA: srmcons, fix racy singleton structure

2012-03-08T19:42:21Z

The test and the assignment were racy. Make it really a singleton. This is achieved by one global variable initialized at the module init. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ALPHA: srmcons, use timer functions

2012-03-08T19:42:21Z

It makes the code more readable. We move the setup to the allocation location because we need to initialize timers only once. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

alpha: fix trivial section mismatch warnings

2007-07-16T16:05:37Z

Fix the following section mismatch warnings: WARNING: arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x7c78): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:init_rtc_irq (between 'common_init_rtc' and 'timer_interrupt') WARNING: arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x7c7c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:init_rtc_irq (between 'common_init_rtc' and 'timer_interrupt') WARNING: arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x2c30): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:srm_console_setup (between 'srmcons' and 'tsunami_pci_ops') In all three cases functions marked __init was called outside __init context. So the fix was to just drop the __init attribute. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Meelis Roos Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Richard Henderson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console

2007-05-08T18:15:04Z

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.
