A -next commit "TTY: HVC, use tty from tty_port" switched the driver
to use tty_port helper for tty refcounting. But it omitted to remove
manual tty refcounting from open, close and hangup. So now we are
getting random crashes caused by use-after-free:

- use tty, not hp->tty wherever possible
- pass tty down to some functions and go to step one
- do not defer tty_hangup calls -- it is as simple as schedule_work,
so might be called with hp->lock held
- do not defer tty buffer flips -- since the driver does not use
low_latency (it cannot actually), the flip is a simple tail move
plus schedule_work. It will make our life easier in the next patch.

It is in termios cflags. So change the test in hvsi_recv_control to do

No refcounting, just a switch. The locking in the driver prevents

Pull xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"which has three neat features:
- PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc; This
can be used in HVM and in PV mode.
- P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said power
management data to the hypervisor. It also inhibits cpufreq
scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power
management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug.
There is one thing in the Kconfig that you won't like: "default y
if (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ = y || X86_POWERNOW_K8 = y)" (note, that it
all depends on CONFIG_XEN which depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT which by
default is off). I've a fix to convert that boolean expression
into "default m" which I am going to post after the cpufreq git
pull - as the two patches to make this work depend on a fix in Dave
Jones's tree.
- Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.
Fixes:
- Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video
- Compile warnings and constify fixes
- Change over to use percpu_xxx instead of this_cpu_xxx"

Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. It is going to be a
bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
maintain and that nobody really used anymore.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Legacy iSeries is gone. Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
hopefully.
- The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"... it's a rewrite of a
mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
new implementation hopefully being much more reliable. Thanks
Mahesh Salgaonkar.
- The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.
The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
there. Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
not very nice and which Grant objects to. I will have a patch soon
that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
getting rid of the need for that pointer completely). Thanks Gavin
Shan.
- I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
"edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.
- Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."
I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

This patch implements support for multiple consoles:
consoles other than the first one are setup using the traditional xenbus
and grant-table based mechanism.
We use a list to keep track of the allocated consoles, we don't
expect too many of them anyway.
Changes in v3:
- call hvc_remove before removing the console from xenconsoles;
- do not lock xencons_lock twice in the destruction path;
- use the DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER macro.

Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the
index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it
can be only in interval <0,driver->num).
So remove the tests which check exactly this interval. Some are
left untouched as they check against the current backing device count.

Reading from the DCC grabs a character from the buffer and
clears the status bit. Since this is a context-changing
operation, instructions following the character read that rely on
the status bit being accurate need to be synchronized with an
ISB.
In this case, the status bit check needs to execute after the
character read otherwise we run the risk of reading the character
and checking the status bit before the read can clear the status
bit in the first place. When this happens, the user will see the
same character they typed twice, instead of once.
Add an ISB after the read and the write, so that the status check
is synchronized with the read/write operations.

[ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
[ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled
...
as reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. And Rusty reports the same for
lguest. He goes on to say:
"This is not a concurrency problem: the issue seems to be that
calling register_console() twice on the same struct console is a bad
idea."
and Greg says he'll fix it up properly at some point later. Revert for now.

This adds a udbg and an hvc console backend for supporting a console
using the OPAL console interfaces.
On OPAL v1 we have hvc0 mapped to whatever console the system was
configured for (network or hvsi serial port) via the service
processor.
On OPAL v2 we have hvcN mapped to the Nth console provided by OPAL
which generally corresponds to:
hvc0 : network console (raw protocol)
hvc1 : serial port S1 (hvsi)
hvc2 : serial port S2 (hvsi)
Note: At this point, early debug console only works with OPAL v1
and shouldn't be enabled in a normal kernel.

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.

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.

Embed the struct hvsi_header in the various packet definitions
rather than open coding it multiple times. Will help provide
stronger type checking.

This moves various HVSI protocol definitions from the hvsi.c
driver to a header file that can be used later on by a udbg
implementation

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 ?).
