* [PATCH] ioc4_serial: Remove bogus error messageBrent Casavant2005-09-301-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver interrupt handler. This error message is bogus for two reasons. First, it can never occur given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that these "unknown" interrupts could never occur. Second, this code fails to take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing". Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby effectively denying use of the console device. Given its bogosity in the first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.

* [SERIAL] Clean up and fix tty transmission start/stopingRussell King2005-08-311-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a feature.) There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would allow the transmitter to drain before stopping. There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters to send. Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and allow transmitter to drain" case.

* [PATCH] ioc4: PCI bus speed detectionBrent Casavant2005-06-211-13/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Several hardware features of SGI's IOC4 I/O controller chip require timing-related driver calculations dependent upon the PCI bus speed. This patch enables the core IOC4 driver code to detect the actual bus speed and store a value that can later be used by the IOC4 subdrivers as needed.

* [PATCH] ioc4: Core driver rewriteBrent Casavant2005-06-211-182/+129
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers. These changes are motivated by several factors: - The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e. multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable. - The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly. - All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable these drivers independently. - The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver) in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model. - IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken. This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also handled in this core driver. This patch: The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not all IOC4 hardware features are being used. This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly delineate module ownership of these items.

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!
