commit 4d2bb3f50036 (powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of
hvc_vio) changed udbg_getc to be based on hvterm_raw_get_chars.
Unfortunately hvterm_raw_get_chars returns -EAGAIN if you ask
for anything less than 16 characters. As a result xmon no longer
accepts input and prints a stream of junk to the screen.
The recent change highlights a problem that xmon on pseries VIO
has had all along, that it can drop input characters. The issue
is the hypervisor call does not take a count argument and can
return up to 16 characters.
This patch adds a per vterm buffer that we copy input data into
and give it out as requested.

Currently, the hvc_console_print() function drops console output if the
hvc backend's put_chars() returns 0. This patch changes this behavior
to allow a retry through returning -EAGAIN.
This change also affects the hvc_push() function. Both functions are
changed to handle -EAGAIN and to retry the put_chars() operation.
If a hvc backend returns -EAGAIN, the retry handling differs:
- hvc_console_print() spins to write the complete console output.
- hvc_push() behaves the same way as for returning 0.
Now hvc backends can indirectly control the way how console output is
handled through the hvc console layer.

A mix of think & mismerge on my side caused a problem where both the
new hvsi_lib and the old hvsi driver gets compiled and try to define
symbols with the same name.
This fixes it by renaming the hvsi_lib exported symbols.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
really just a transport to the service processor which implements
them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
"hvsi" serial ports.
The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.
We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
(/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
(/dev/hvsi0).
However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.
This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
in "raw" mode so that:
- It now supports HVSI as well
- We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
- It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console
This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.
In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
over our current situation:
- The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past
- The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
supported for the "raw" mode).
I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:
- I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set
- Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
detecting a up->down transition on CD.

This fixes a particular nasty racing problem found when using
Xen hypervisor with the console (hvc) output being routed to the
serial port and the serial port receiving data when
probe_irq_off(probe_irq_on) is running.
Specifically the bug manifests itself with:
[ 4.470693] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
[ 4.470693] IP: [<ffffffff810a8c65>] handle_IRQ_event+0xe/0xc9

[ 4.470693] [<ffffffff812ad66c>] ? uart_add_one_port+0x11b/0x305
The bug is trigged by three actors working together:
A). serial_8250_config_port calling
probe_irq_off(probe_irq_on())
wherein all of the IRQ handlers are being started and shut off.
The functions utilize the sleep functions so the minimum time
they are run is 120 msec.
B). Xen hypervisor receiving on the serial line any character and
setting the bits in the event channel - during this 120 msec timeframe.
C). The hvc API makes a call to 'request_irq' (and hence setting desc->action
to a valid value), much much later - when user space opens
/dev/console (hvc_open). To make the console usable during bootup,
the Xen HVC implementation sets the IRQ chip (and correspondingly
the event channel) much earlier. The IRQ chip handler that is used
is the handle_percpu_irq (aaca49642b92c8a57d3ca5029a5a94019c7af69f)
Back to the issue. When A) is being called it ends up calling the
xen_percpu_chip's chip->startup twice and chip->shutdown once. Those
are set to the default_startup and mask_irq (events.c) respectivly.
If (and this seems to depend on what serial concentrator you use), B)
gets data from the serial port it sets in the event channel a pending bit.
When A) calls chip->startup(), the masking of the pending bit, and
unmasking of the event channel mask, and also setting of the upcall_pending
flag is done (since there is data present on the event channel).
If before the 120 msec has elapsed, any IRQ handler (Xen IRQ has one
IRQ handler, which checks the event channels bitmap to figure which one
to call) is called we end up calling the handle_percpu_irq. The
handle_percpu_irq calls desc->action (which is NULL) and we blow up.
Caveats: I could only reproduce this on 2.6.32 pvops. I am not sure
why this is not showing up on 2.6.38 kernel.
The probe_irq_on/off has code to disable poking specific IRQ lines. This is
done by using the set_irq_noprobe() and then we do not have to
worry about the handle_percpu_irq being called before the IRQ action
handler has been installed.

The HVCS driver, for those who don't know, is a driver for the "server" side
of the IBM virtual terminal mechanism allowing Linux partitions to act as
terminal servers under IBM PowerVM hypervisor. It's almost never used on
the field at the moment.
However, it's part of our configs, and in its current incarnation, will
allocate the tty driver & major (with 64 minors) and create a kernel thread
whether it's used or not, ie, whether the hypervisor did put a virtual
terminal server device node in the partition or not (or whether running on
a pseries machine or not even).
This in turns causes modern distro's udev's to start trying to open all
those 64 minors at boot, which, since they aren't linked to anything,
causes the driver to spew errors in the kernel log for each of them.
Not nice.
This moves all that initialization to a function which is now only called
the first time a terminal server virtual IO device is actually probed
(that is almost never).
There's still a _LOT_ of cleanup that can be done in this driver, some
simple (almost all printk's statements in there shall either just be
removed or in some case turned into better written & more informative
messages, including using the dev_* variants etc...). This is left as
an exercise for whoever actually cares about that driver.
One could also try to be smart and dispose of all the tty related
resources when the last instance of the VIO server device
is removed (Hotplug anybody ?).

We don't actually need this and it causes problems for internal use of
this functionality. Currently there is a single use of the FILE * pointer.
That is the serial core which uses it to check tty_hung_up_p. However if
that is true then IO_ERROR is also already set so the check may be removed.

The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 in the hvc_dcc
driver are purely optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with
the pc sets the condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register
being read. It just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC
driver is testing for are high enough in the register to be put
into the condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't
implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test
operations to check for TX/RX full.
Since we already test the RX/TX full bits before calling
__dcc_getchar() and __dcc_putchar() we don't actually need to do
anything special for v7 over v6. The only difference is in
hvc_dcc_get_chars(). We would test RX full, poll RX full, and
then read a character from the buffer, whereas now we will test
RX full, read a character from the buffer, and then test RX full
again for the second iteration of the loop. It doesn't seem
possible for the buffer to go from full to empty between testing
the RX full and reading a character. Therefore, replace the v7
versions with the v6 versions and everything works the same.

Casting and anding with 0xff is unnecessary in
hvc_dcc_put_chars() since buf is already a char[].
__dcc_get_char() can't return an int less than 0 since it only
returns a char. Simplify the if statement in hvc_dcc_get_chars()
to take this into account.

Without marking the asm __dcc_getstatus() volatile my compiler
decides it can cache the value of __ret in a register and then
check the value of it continually in hvc_dcc_put_chars() (I had
to replace get_wait/put_wait with 1 and fixup the branch
otherwise my disassembler barfed on __dcc_(get|put)char).

As you can see, the value of the mrc is checked against
DCC_STATUS_TX (bit 29) and then stored in r3 for later use.
Marking the asm volatile produces the following:
00000000 <hvc_dcc_put_chars>:
0: e3a03000 mov r3, #0 ; 0x0
4: ea000007 b 28 <hvc_dcc_put_chars+0x28>

which looks better and actually works. Mark all the inline
assembly in this file as volatile since we don't want the
compiler to optimize away these statements or move them around
in any way.
