tty: hvc_console: Call hvc_kick in hvc_write unconditionally

2025-08-17T10:50:30Z

After hvc_write completes, call hvc_kick also in the case the output buffer has been drained, to ensure tty_wakeup gets called. This fixes that functions which wait for a drained buffer got stuck occasionally.

s390: Convert MACHINE_IS_[LPAR|VM|KVM], etc, machine_is_[lpar|vm|kvm]()

2025-03-04T16:18:07Z

Move machine type detection to the decompressor and use static branches to implement and use machine_is_[lpar|vm|kvm]() instead of a runtime check via MACHINE_IS_[LPAR|VM|KVM]. Reviewed-by: Vasily Gorbik Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik

Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct

2024-12-01T23:12:43Z

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a comment to that effect: /* * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove(). * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped. */ This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with '.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs to make things line up. I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used spaces to line things up. Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: hvc: Don't enable the RISC-V SBI console by default

2024-02-19T08:43:33Z

The new SBI console has the same problem as the old one: there's only one shared backing hardware and no synchronization, so the two drivers end up stepping on each other. This was the same issue the old SBI-0.1 console drivers had, but that was disabled by default when SBI-0.1 was. So just mark the new driver as nonportable.
