Alan Cox 335f8514f2 tty: Bring the usb tty port structure into more use
This allows us to clean stuff up, but is probably also going to cause
some app breakage with buggy apps as we now implement proper POSIX behaviour
for USB ports matching all the other ports. This does also mean other apps
that break on USB will now work properly.

Use kref in the USB serial drivers so that we don't free tty structures
from under the URB receive handlers as has historically been the case if
you were unlucky. This also gives us a framework for general tty drivers to
use tty_port objects and refcount.

Contains two err->dev_err changes merged together to fix clashes in the

Alan Cox 95da310e66 usb_serial: API all change
USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.

So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

Mike Isely 92983c2121 USB: cypress_m8: Limit baud rate to <=4800 for USB low speed devices
The cypress app note for the M8 states that for the USB low speed
version of the part, throughput is effectively limited to 800
bytes/sec.  So if we were to try a faster baud rate in such cases then
we risk overrun errors on receive.  Best to just identify this case
and limit the rate to 4800 baud or less (by ignoring any request to
set a faster rate).  The old baud rate setting code was somewhat
fragile; this change also hopefully makes it easier in the future to
better checking / limiting.

Mike Isely 3416eaa1f8 USB: cypress_m8: Packet format is separate from characteristic size
cypress_m8: Packet format is separate from characteristic size

The Cypress app note states that when using an 8 byte packet buffer
size that the packet format is modified (to be more compact).  However
I have since discovered that newer DeLorme Earthmate LT-20 devices
(those that are low speed USB with 8 byte packet size) STILL use the
format that is really supposed to correspond to 32 byte packets.
Further confusing things is the subsequent discovery that there are
actually two different types of LT-20 - older LT-20's use 32 byte
packets which is probably why this issue wasn't originally
encountered.  The solution here is to flag the packet format
separately from the buffer size.  Then at initialization time,
identify the correct combination and set it up.  This is a critical
fix for anyone with a newer LT-20.  Older devices and non-Earthmate
devices should remain unaffected by this change.  (If other devices
behave in this, uh, unexpected manner, it's now just a simple 1 line
change to fix them as well (change the pkt_fmt member for that
device).  Default behavior with this patch is still to drive the
format as per the app-note; of course for Earthmate devices this is
overridden.

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

Mike Isely 78aef519ed cypress_m8: implement graceful failure handling
When receiving a fatal error from the USB core, e.g. EILSEQ (which can
happen if the polling interval is too short), fail gracefully.
Previously the driver would fill the log with useless error messages
or (more alarmingly) silently spin forever trying to write updated
control information to the device.  This change implements a new flag
which if cleared indicates that the driver has failed.  The flag will
be set on initialization, cleared on fatal errors, and anything else
that touches the USB port in the driver will abort if the flag is
clear.  When the flag is cleared, a message will be logged indicating
that the driver has failed.

Mike Isely 0257fa9ffe cypress_m8: use appropriate URB polling interval
The polling interval for the device can't always be 1msec.  If it is
too quick, the device can fail causing a fatal (to the driver) EILSEQ
error from the USB core.  The actual correct value is reported by the
device as part of its configuration data, so use that value as the
default.  On a DeLorme Earthmate for example, the device reports that
it wants a 6msec interval.  As part of this fix, the "interval" module
option has been fixed as well; the device's default can be overridden
by specifying interval=<value> as a module option.

Alan Cox 33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
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.

Greg Kroah-Hartman ba9dc657af [PATCH] USB: allow usb drivers to disable dynamic ids
This lets drivers, like the usb-serial ones, disable the ability to add
ids from sysfs.

The usb-serial drivers are "odd" in that they are really usb-serial bus
drivers, not usb bus drivers, so the dynamic id logic will have to go
into the usb-serial bus core for those drivers to get that ability.

Lonnie Mendez 3cb4a4f739 [PATCH] USB cypress_m8: update kernel driver with current source
Fixed problem where setting or retreiving the serial config would fail
with EPIPE.  Removed CRTS toggling so the driver behaves more like other
usbserial adapters.  Issued new interval of 1ms instead of the default
bInterval.  As a result, transfer speed has been substantially
increased.  From avg. 850bps to avg. 3300bps.  Also added new module
parameter 'interval' to tweak the interval in case this change causes
problems for someone.  Cleaned up code and formatting issues so source
is more readable.  Replaced the C++ style comments.  Various other code
cleanups.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
